Mulberry St, Unit C, Fort Collins CO 80524 (970) 266-8000 (970) 266-0022 (Fax) www.centuryenvironmental.com November 26, 2014 Mr. Brad Oldemeyer 3116 Clyde Street Fort Collins, CO 80524 Re: 215 Mathews Street, Fort Collins, CO - Asbestos Survey Report for Demolition (CEH: 4826.14) Dear Mr. Oldemeyer: The following report serves to document our material sampling at the building located at 215 Mathews Street, Fort Collins on November 18th, 2014. As per your request, Paul Jaeckel, a Certified Asbestos Building Inspector (CDPHE # 830) of Century Environmental Hygiene, LLC (CEH) collected samples of specified materials at the above location. The following materials from the indicated locations were analyzed by an NVLAP accredited lab for asbestos content. Material Area Represented by Sample(s) Sample # Result Drywall with joint compound Throughout house 111814PJ-01 Non-ACM Plaster lath Throughout house 111814PJ-02 to -04 Non-ACM Wall texture, original Throughout most rooms 111814PJ-05 to -09 Non-ACM Ceiling texture, new Living room ceiling 111814PJ-10 to -12 Non-ACM 1”x2” ceiling tile East bedroom 111814PJ-13 Non-ACM Sheet vinyl flooring with leveling compound Kitchen 111814PJ-14 Non-ACM Sheet vinyl flooring with adhesive (2 layers) Bathroom 111814PJ-15 Non-ACM Sheet vinyl flooring, remnant Sunroom 111814PJ-16 Non-ACM Sink undercoating Kitchen 111814PJ-17 ACM (12% Chrysotile) Cove base with adhesive Kitchen and bathroom 111814PJ-18 Non-ACM Sheet vinyl wall covering with adhesive Kitchen, west wall 111814PJ-19 Non-ACM Floor filler Kitchen 111814PJ-20 Non-ACM Sheet vinyl flooring with adhesive Shed 111814PJ-21 Non-ACM Roofing shingles with felt Shed 111814PJ-22 Non-ACM Wood shavings/loose insulation Attic 111814PJ-23 Non-ACM Material Area Represented by Sample(s) Sample # Result 8” transite flue ring Attic 111814PJ-24 ACM (8% Crocidolite and 7% Chrysotile) Roofing shingles with felt Main house 111814PJ-25 Non-ACM Asphaltic siding House exterior 111814PJ-26 Non-ACM Caulking Windows and doors 111814PJ-27 ACM (4% Chrysotile) Sheet vinyl flooring, black and white West bedroom 111814PJ-28 Non-ACM Window caulking Back windows 1111814PJ-29 Non-ACM Table abbreviation explanations: ACM = Asbestos-Containing Material. Samples according to AHERA quantities were collected and indicate the material contains over 1% asbestos and is defined by state and/or federal regulations as ACM. In some cases, inconsistencies may occur (see lab report). For example, four out of five samples collected of this material type may contain asbestos and one did not. In this case, at client’s request, additional sampling might help determine if the one sample represents a different material application in a sub-part of the area that is non-ACM. An example of when this can happen is when a building is textured, one room is remodeled later and a texture-to-match existing is used. ACM-I/C = ACM that contains inconsistent results for the group of samples that characterize this material’s asbestos content. The material appeared to the Inspector during the inspection to be the same material type, but results indicated that it wasn’t exactly the same. According to CDPHE rules, with 1 or more samples indicating asbestos being present, the whole group must be treated as ACM. Unless client performs relevant point counts and/or additional sampling to further clarify the material’s asbestos content. ACM-prog = ACM with progressive stop analysis. The material is ACM based on the results received, but not all of the samples were analyzed. Under progressive analysis, samples in a group are analyzed until one sample is positive to keep within the project sample budget. At client’s request, additional samples can be analyzed to confirm that the material is homogeneous, although additional lab fees apply. Non-ACM indicates that at least the minimum numbers of required samples were analyzed for that type and quantity of material and that all samples indicated 1% or less asbestos so the material is classified by state and federal agencies as non-ACM. Note that some OSHA requirements still apply if traces of asbestos are present. P-ACM = Presumed ACM. This material can contain asbestos but was not sampled, and must be treated as ACM in accordance with state and/or federal regulations. OSHA-ACM. This material is considered ACM by OSHA but not by EPA/CDPHE because EPA and CDPHE allow joint compound used as filler at seams, edges, and screw holes etc. in drywall is not ACM if the composite of the drywall and joint compound is 1% or less asbestos. Note that only a limited effort was made to determine if the material is used only at seams etc. and there is the possibility in parts of the building that a skim coat does exist. Low % ACM. This material either contained a trace of asbestos, in which case it is ACM unless a Point Count (PC) analysis is performed and it is determined to be 1% or less asbestos by PC, or the material contained a low percentage of asbestos e.g. 1-2% and a PC could still be performed and interpreted the same way. The client should consider requesting PC analysis of some or all samples to determine if the material may qualify as non-ACM. (PC): If this term appears as a suffix, it indicates that Point Count analysis was employed and the Point Count results replaced the PLM result when the results were interpreted. Conclusions and Recommendations Based on the findings of the inspection the following asbestos-containing materials require removal prior to demolition activities.  Sink undercoating in the kitchen.  The 8” transite flue ring located in the attic.  The caulking around the doors and the windows. Note: we recommend that you retain CEH to develop a bid scope of work and assist in getting abatement bids for the necessary abatement of the structure, as well as any air testing and visual inspections needed. Scope of work: 2-3 hours @ $85/hour Bid Walkthrough and Assistance: 4 hours @ $85/hr. Air sampling: PCM clearance samples $500 per visit (1-2 containments per) Demo Permit Signoff: $260 per permit. Waived if CEH performs air sampling ACBM is subject to the USEPA NESHAP Regulations for Asbestos (40 CFR Part 61) and the Colorado Department of Health Regulation No. 8 (Reg 8) "The Control of Hazardous Air Pollutants. The Colorado Department of Health is presently responsible for administering the EPA NESHAP program for Colorado. ACBM is subject to OSHA Standards for Asbestos (29 CFR Parts 1910.1001). Materials containing 1% or less asbestos may be subject to OSHA regulations if air concentrations are at or above the personal exposure limit (PEL) of 0.1 f/cc or the excursion limit of 1.0 f/cc. The regulations specifically address ACBM associated with demolition activities. Materials containing trace-1% asbestos may be subject to the OSHA Asbestos Standard for the Construction Industry (29 CFR 1926.1101) when disturbing and/or handling these trace materials, during demolition activities. The CDPHE Hazardous Materials and Waste Management Division (HMWMD) promulgated regulations that address asbestos in soil. The April 2006 Draft Asbestos Contaminated Soil Guidance Document issued by CDPHE provides an expanded explanation of exemptions under the regulation which includes the following excerpt: The exemption for asbestos abatement projects conducted under AQCC Regulation No. 8, Part B, includes asbestos debris that may come into contact with soil during demolition of structures containing asbestos materials and materials containing trace amounts of asbestos (including trace soil in crawlspaces, loose fill vermiculite, etc) that can legally remain during demolition and be disposed of as normal demolition debris. Any asbestos debris left behind after the completion of a demolition project (including site cleanup) would be subject to the requirements of Section 5.5 of the Solid Waste Regulations if disturbed in the future. Even prior to the current HMWMD soil regulations, leaving construction debris including non- regulated asbestos materials on site, or mixed with backfill soil was not permitted. But in light of the new soil regulations, removal of all demolition debris during the demolition phase is imperative, since failure to adequately remove all construction debris including non-regulated asbestos and trace containing materials (floor tile, roofing materials, gasket material, drywall/joint compound, loose fill vermiculite, etc) during the demolition phase can result in significant additional costs to the Owner/Operator, due to proper removal and disposal requirements under the new regulation. To ensure proper removal of all construction debris during the demolition phase, over-excavation of surface soil, to remove all construction debris during the demolition phase is required. If the Owner selects to remove all of the regulated, non- regulated, and trace containing asbestos materials then over excavation of the soils would not be required. Please note that the scope of the inspection only included testing for asbestos materials and no other hazards such as lead based paint, radon, mold or otherwise were included. The testing only pertains to the indicated location(s) and all materials outside the defined areas are ACM unless otherwise tested. If the test was limited to a portion of a component, typically as in a flood cut area, the rest of the component such as upper walls remain ACM. All accessible suspect materials in the designated areas were sampled; however, hidden materials are excluded such as insulation in walls cavities or materials under the layer tested. The testing is warranted to meet Regulation 8 sampling requirements, not to indentify all ACM, particularly in the cases of patching, salients, or matching materials. If floors were included in the scope of testing, remnants of adhesive, old sheet vinyl, ACM under cabinets or other objects, or under subfloors may be present.
