B. ENIRONMENTAL
1. Environmental Testing: Limited sampling and testing has been conducted on
buildings to determine if regulated Asbestos Containing Materials (RACM) and Lead
Based Paint (LBP) are present within existing roof assemblies and other building
systems as defined in the building‐specific scopes of work summary authored by
Unified Building Sciences. Reference Attachments for Inspection Reports authored
by LT Environmental.
2. Limitations: All Inspection Reports provided to the Contractor reflect results of pre-
renovation building surveys for ACM. No survey can completely eliminate the
uncertainty regarding the presence of ACM and other hazardous materials. The
level of diligence and investigative procedures used are intended to reduce, but not
eliminate, potential uncertainty regarding the presence of such materials. The
Inspection Reports do not guarantee that all such materials present in the subject
properties have been identified and the City makes no representation or warranty
regarding the presence or absence of RACM.
The Inspection Reports are intended to identify accessible materials that were
reasonably suspect and that were most likely to contain asbestos in quantities
subject to regulation, based on existing industry and regulatory standards.
Destructive investigation activities were conducted to identify ACM in previously
inaccessible areas (underneath roofing materials, etc.), using limited demolition
methods. These activities created small openings for investigation but are limited in
that full observation is not possible due to the presence of roofing materials.
3. RACM Identified: This project involves the handling and removal of RACM from
the facilities listed in SCHEDULE A as defined by the building-specific scopes of
work authored by LT Environmental. The ACM identified and to be removed may
generally consist of:
a. Black/gray fibrous tar materials and asphalt impregnated roofing felt.
b. Both tar and felt are nonfriable ACBM.
c. This work is considered OSHA Class II involving Category I non-friable ACM
roofing material.
4. New ACM Identification:
a. The Abatement Contractor is responsible for evaluating changing conditions
and materials, for implementing procedures to stop work should new suspect
ACM be encountered in the course of work and for notifying the City of Fort
Collins of the need for additional inspection by an accredited asbestos
inspector. It is the Abatement Contractor’s responsibility to immediately notify
the City of Fort Collins of any suspect ACM or other hazardous material (not
already identified) that may be exposed when work is performed.

NESHAP to Roof Removal Operations).
b. If rendered friable through work practices, ACM will be considered Regulated
Asbestos Containing Material (RACM) that must be handled by Abatement
Contractor in compliance with the Colorado Department of Public Health and
Environment regulation (Regulation 8 Part B) and permit requirements will
apply.
6. Required documentation:
a. Contractor shall provide to the City training records or acceptable certification
of training for supervisory staff and workers prior to commencement of work.

Personnel completing abatement activities of identified RACMs must be certified by the Untied States
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment
(CDPHE). The Contractor shall assume full responsibility and liability for complying with all applicable
federal, state, and local regulations pertaining to work practices, hauling, disposal, and protection of
workers, visitors to the sites, and persons occupying areas adjacent to abatement activities. The
Contractor is responsible for providing medical examinations and maintaining medical records of
personnel as required by the applicable Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
regulations. The Contractor shall hold the Owner and Owner’s Representative harmless for failure to
comply with any applicable work, hauling, disposal, safety, health, or other regulations on the part of the
Contractor, the Contractor’s employees, or subcontractors. Where conflict between the regulations and
this scope of work document exists, the most stringent requirements shall be followed.

7.0 AIR MONITORING - TEST LABORATORY SERVICES
PART 1 - GENERAL
The Section relates to the requirements of the air monitoring and test laboratory services to be
completed in relation to the Project.
Related Documents
Figures and general provisions of Contract, including General Conditions, Supplementary General
Conditions, and other Division - 1 Specification Sections, apply to work of this Section. Air Monitoring
during work area Clearance is described in Section 15.0 Work Area Clearance.
Description of the Work
This sub-Section describes work being performed by the Owner. This work is not in the Contract Sum.
This Section describes air monitoring carried out by the Owner to verify that the building beyond the work
areas and the outside environment remains uncontaminated. This Section also sets forth airborne fiber
levels both inside and outside the work areas as action levels, and describes the action required by the
Contractor if an action level is met or exceeded.
Air monitoring required by OSHA is work of the Contractor and is not covered in this Section.
7.1.2.1 Air Monitoring
Work Area Isolation:
The purpose of the Owner's air monitoring is to detect faults in the work areas isolation such as:
• Contamination of the building outside of the work area with airborne asbestos fibers;
• Failure of filtration or rupture in the differential pressure system; and
• Contamination of air outside the building envelope with airborne asbestos fibers.
Should any of the above occur immediately cease asbestos abatement activities until the fault is
corrected. Do not recommence work until authorized by the Owner's Representative in writing.
Work Area Clearance:
STOP ACTION LEVELS:
If the Time Weighted Average (TWA) fiber count for any work shift or 8-hour period respirator protection
factor, stop all work, leave pressure differential system in operation and notify Owner's Representative.
RFP 9059 Roof Abatement Services Page 48 of 530
7-2
After correcting cause of high fiber levels or switching to a respirator with a greater protection value, do
not recommence work until authorized in writing, by Owner's Representative.
If any air sample taken outside of the work area in the occupied portion of the buildings exceeds the
MAAL, immediately and automatically stop all work except corrective action. The Owner's Representative
will determine the source of the high reading and so notify the Contractor in writing. Samples will be
initially collected and analyzed by phase contrast microscopy (PCM), if it is determined a sample exceeds
the MAAL the sample will be further analyzed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to verify fibers
identified by PCM analysis are asbestos fibers.
If the high reading was the result of a failure of work area isolation measures initiate the following
temporary actions until TEM analysis is received:
• Restrict access to the affected area and post warning signs to prevent entry to the area by persons
other than those necessary to respond to the incident. Posting requirements are set forth in
Section 10.0 - Temporary Enclosures.
• Shut off or modify air handling systems to prevent the distribution of airborne fibers. Establish
negative air flow using HEPA equipped negative pressure differential equipment to prevent the
spread of airborne contamination to other areas of the Project Site. Refer to Section 9.0
Temporary Pressure Differential and Air Circulation System for construction details.
If the TEM analysis determines an exceedance of the MAAL the following actions will be taken:
• Immediately erect new critical barriers as set forth in Section 10.0 Temporary Enclosures to isolate
the affected area from the balance of the building. Erect Critical Barriers at the next existing
structural isolation of the involved space (e.g. wall, ceiling, floor). Decontaminate the affected
area in accordance with Section 13.0 Project Decontamination. Require that respiratory
protection as set forth in Section 10.0 Respiratory Protection be worn in affected area until area
is cleared for re-occupancy in accordance with Section 15.0 Work Area Clearance.
• Leave Critical Barriers in place until completion of work and insure that the operation of the
pressure differential system in the work area results in a flow of air from the balance of the
building into the affected area. If the exit from the clean room of the personnel decontamination
unit enters the affected area, establish a new decontamination facility consisting of a shower
room and changing room as set forth in Section 13.0 Decontamination Units at entry point to the
affected area. The original clean room may be considered the new equipment room for the
duration of the work.
• After visual inspection in the work area remove critical barriers separating the work area from the
affected area. Final air samples will be taken within the entire area as set forth in Section 15.0
Work Area Clearance. If the high reading was the result of other causes initiate corrective action
as determined by the Owner's Representative.
Effect on Contract Sum:
Complete corrective work with no change in the Contract Sum if high airborne fiber counts were caused
by Contractor's activities. If the cause of the elevated fiber counts was a result of Contractor error, the
RFP 9059 Roof Abatement Services Page 49 of 530
7-3
Contractor may be held accountable for any additional air sampling and analysis costs. The Contract Sum
and schedule will be adjusted for additional work caused by high airborne fiber counts beyond the
Contractor's control.
ANALYTICAL METHODS:
The following methods will be used by the Owner in analyzing filters used to collect air samples. Sampling
rates may be varied from printed standards to allow for high volume sampling. Phase Contrast Microscopy
(PCM) will be performed using the NIOSH 7400A method. This analysis will be carried out at a laboratory
located off the job site.
Transmission Electron Microscopy will be performed using the analysis method set forth in the AHERA
regulation 40 CFR Part 763 Appendix A.
SAMPLE VOLUMES:
The number and volume of air samples taken by the Owner will be in accordance with the following
schedule and of sufficient volume to confidently analyze 0.010 f/cc whenever possible. Sample volumes
given may vary depending upon the analytical method used.
Detection Limit for PCM analysis as set forth in the analytical method used. Analytical Sensitivity for TEM

Additional samples may be taken at Owner's or Owner's Representatives discretion. If airborne fiber
counts exceed allowed limits additional samples will be taken as necessary to determine the source of
fiber counts and to monitor fiber levels.
LABORATORY TESTING:
The services of a testing laboratory will be employed by the Owner to perform laboratory analyses of
clearance air samples. A microscope equipped technician may set up at the job site, or samples will be
sent overnight on a daily basis, so that verbal reports on air samples can be obtained within 24 hours. The
Contractor will have access to all air monitoring tests and results.
A complete record of all air monitoring and results will be furnished to the Owner's Representative, the
Owner, and the Contractor upon request. Written Reports of all air monitoring tests will be posted at the
job site on a daily basis.

Provide units whose final filter is the HEPA type with the filter media (folded into closely pleated panels)
completely sealed on all edges with a structurally rigid frame. Provide HEPA filters that are individually
tested and certified by the manufacturer to have an efficiency of not less than 99.97 percent when
challenged with 0.3 um dioctylphthalate (DOP) particles. Prefilters, which protect the final filter by
removing the larger particles, are required to prolong the operating life of the HEPA filter. Two stages of
prefiltration are required. First-stage prefilter for particles 100 um and larger Second-stage (or
intermediate) filter for particles down to 5 micrometer (µm).
Provide units with the following safety and warning devices:
• Electrical (or mechanical) lockout to prevent fan from operating without a HEPA filter Automatic
shutdown system to stop fan in the event of a rupture in the HEPA filter or blocked air discharge
• Warning lights to indicate normal operation (green), too high a pressure drop across the filters
(i.e., filter overloading) (yellow), and too low of a pressure drop (i.e., rupture in HEPA filter or
obstructed discharge) (red).
PART 3 - EXECUTION
Pressure Differential Isolation
This specification details the requirements for the negative pressure differential system. The Contractor
will be allowed to deviate from specific system requirements if an alternate pressure differential system
is used and is approved by the Owner's Representative. However, the intent of the specification to provide
adequate pressure differential must be met regardless of the type of system actually used.
Isolate the work area from all adjacent areas or systems of the building with a pressure differential that
will cause a movement of air from outside to inside at any breach in the physical isolation of the work
area.
Continuously maintain full containment work area at an air pressure that is lower than that in any
surrounding space in the building, or at any location in the immediate proximity outside of the building
envelope. This pressure differential when measured across any physical or critical barrier for a full
containment must equal or exceed a static pressure of: -0.020 inches of water. Accomplish the pressure
differential by exhausting a sufficient number of HEPA filtered fan units from the work area. The number
of units required will depend on machine characteristics, the seal at barriers, and required air circulation.
The number of units will increase with increased make-up air or leaks into the work area. Determine the
number of units required for pressure isolation by the following procedure:
• Establish required air circulation in the work area, personnel, and equipment decontamination
units.
• Establish isolation by increased pressure in adjacent areas or as part of seals where required.
• Exhaust a sufficient number of units from the work area to develop the required pressure
differential. Each unit shall be individually exhausted to an exhaust outlet.
• Temporary ducts shall not be connected at a manifold junction to reduce the number of exhaust
ducts and outlets.

• The required number of units is the number determined above plus one additional unit.
• Vent HEPA filtered fan units to outside of building unless authorized in writing by Owner's
Representative.
• Mount units to exhaust directly or through disposable ductwork.
Use wire reinforced disposable plastic or metallic ductwork in lengths not greater than 100 feet. No “lay
flat” is to be used in place of wire reinforced ductwork. Connect and secure exhaust duct to the fan unit
exhaust port with duct tape. As additional reinforcement of connection, cinch exhaust duct on fan exhaust
port with appropriately sized pipe clamp or plastic zip-tie. Use “lay flat”, or a single sheet of 6 mil poly, to
cover the reinforced ductwork from start of Project through decontamination in areas where exhaust
ductwork is exposed to abatement operations. Replace when visibly damaged or grossly contaminated.
At point where exhaust duct exits the work area/building, provide a pressure-fit wood framing materials
and plywood barrier (in thickness specified), with holes sized to fit ductwork. Use plywood in place of
existing window/door, as needed. Provide an additional ½-inch gap welded steel mesh over the exhaust
duct hole secured to prevent access through the exhaust duct. Install plywood to maintain building
security, as needed.
Air Circulation in the Work Area
For purposes of this Section, air circulation refers to either the introduction of outside air to the work area
or the circulation and cleaning of air within the work area. Air circulation in the work area is a minimum
requirement intended to help maintain airborne fiber counts at a level that does not significantly
challenge the work area isolation measures. The Contractor may also use this air circulation as part of the
engineering controls in his worker protection program.
Provide a fully operational air circulation system supplying a minimum of the following air circulation
rate of four air changes per hour. The number of fan units required to meet air circulation rate can be
determined by the following equations:
First, determine the volume of each air change:
Total Cubic Feet/Minute (CFM) = Volume of the Work Area (in Cubic Feet)
60 minutes/hour) / (4 air changes/hour)
Second, determine the required number of fan units:
Number of fan units = CFM (as determined above)
Capacity of fan unit (CFM)
The required number of units is the number determined above, rounded up to the nearest whole number.
Use one additional unit, for the purpose of replacing a fan unit that fails during the work.
RFP 9059 Roof Abatement Services Page 59 of 530

Exhaust System
Pressure differential isolation and air circulation in the work area are to be accomplished by an exhaust
system as described below.
Exhaust all units from the work area to meet air circulation requirement of this Section.
Locate fan unit(s) so that makeup air enters work area primarily through decontamination facilities and
traverses work area as much as possible. This may be accomplished by positioning the HEPA filtered fan
unit(s) at a maximum distance from the worker access opening or other makeup air sources.
Place End of Unit at intake duct or its exhaust duct through an opening in the plastic barrier or wall
covering. Seal plastic around the unit with duct tape.
Vent to Outside of Building, unless authorized in writing by the Owner's Representative.
Arrange work area and decontamination units so that the majority of makeup air comes through the
decontamination units. Do not use both the personnel and equipment decontamination units
simultaneously. While using one decontamination unit seal the other so that makeup air passes through
the unit in use.
Provide, where required for proper air flow through the work area, in location approved by the Owner's
Representative, supplemental makeup air inlets by making openings in the plastic sheeting that allow air
from outside into the work area. Seal openings with 5 µm prefilters secured to the plastic sheeting with
duct tape. Locate auxiliary makeup air inlets as far as possible from the fan unit(s) (e.g., on an opposite
wall), off the floor (preferably near the ceiling), and away from barriers that separate the work area from
occupied clean areas. Cover with flaps to reseal automatically if the pressure differential system should
shut down for any reason.
Where required, provide HEPA filtered scrubber fan units to maintain proper air flow through the work
area, in locations approved by Owner’s Representative. Direct exhaust from scrubber fan units away from
any critical barriers. Scrubber fan units shall be operational during all active gross removal work.
Air Circulation in Decontamination Units
Continuously maintain the pressure differential required for the work area in the:
• Personnel and Equipment Decontamination Unit: Across the Shower Room with the Equipment
Room at a lower pressure than the Clean Room.
• Load-out: Across the first chamber at a lower pressure than the second chamber.
Continuously maintain air circulation in decontamination units and load-out at same level as required for
work area.
Arrange air circulation through the decontamination unit and load-out so that it produces a movement of
air from the clean room through the shower room into the equipment room.
RFP 9059 Roof Abatement Services Page 60 of 530
9-5
Use of The Pressure Differential and Air Circulation System
Each unit shall be serviced by a dedicated circuit with GFCI supplied from temporary power supply
installed under requirements of Section 8.2 "Temporary Facilities."
Test pressure differential system after critical barriers are in place but prior to the construction of primary
and secondary barriers. After critical barriers are in place, the decontamination facility set up, and the fan
unit(s) installed, start the unit(s) (one at a time). Demonstrate operation and testing of pressure
differential system (minimum -0.020" water) to Owner's Representative before proceeding.
Use of System During Abatement Operations:
Start fan units before beginning work. After abatement Work has begun, run units continuously to
maintain a constant pressure differential and air circulation until decontamination and final air testing of
the work area is complete. Do not turn off units at the end of the work shift or when abatement operations
temporarily stop.
Do not shut down air pressure differential system during lockdown procedures, unless authorized by the
Owner's Representative in writing. Supply sufficient pre-filters to allow frequent changes during
lockdown.
Start abatement work at a location farthest from the fan units and proceed toward them. If an electric
power failure occurs, immediately stop all abatement work and do not resume until power is restored and
fan units are operating again.
At completion of abatement work, allow fan units to run as specified under Section 15.0, to remove
airborne fibers that may have been generated during abatement and final clean and to purge the work
area with clean makeup air.
As part of the final cleaning process, the Contractor shall dispose of contaminated filters from scrubber
units and decontaminate the unit motor, housing, and frame. Exhaust from scrubber units is considered
contaminated until a thorough cleaning and inspection of the unit has been performed, including the
installation of new HEPA filters.
When a final inspection and the results of final air tests indicate that the area has been decontaminated,
fan units may be removed from the work area. Before removal from the work area, remove and
properly dispose of pre-filters, decontaminate exterior of machine and seal intake to the machine with 6
mil polyethylene to prevent environmental contamination from the filters.
Pressure Differential Unit Shutdown Procedure
Disconnect the exhaust duct from pressure differential unit, allowing the pressure Differential
Unit to momentarily exhaust into abatement work area.
Seal inlet port with pre-cut 6 mil sheet poly and duct tape and turn off the pressure differential
unit and disconnect from the electrical power source.
Wet wipe the pressure differential unit.

Require that a respirator be worn by anyone in a work area at all times, regardless of activity, during a
period that starts with any operation which could cause airborne fibers until the area has been cleared
for re-occupancy in accordance with Section 15.0. Failure to comply with this provision will constitute
grounds to deny the employee access to the site of the work.
Regardless of Airborne Fiber Levels, require that the minimum level of respiratory protection used be half-
face air-purifying respirators with high efficiency filters.
Fit Testing
Initial Fitting: Provide initial fitting of respiratory protection during a respiratory protection training
course. Fit types of respirator to be actually worn by each individual. Allow an individual to use only those
respirators for which training and fit testing have been provided.
Provide documentation of qualitative fit testing as required by OSHA 29 CFR 1910 and 1926. Upon Each
Wearing, require that each time an air-purifying respirator is put on it be checked for fit with a positive
and negative pressure fit test in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. This requirement
includes supplied air systems which employ negative pressure emergency systems.
NOTE: Qualitative fit test shall be performed for both negative pressure and supplied air systems which
use a negative pressure emergency backup system.
Type of Respiratory Protection Required
Provide Respiratory Protection suitable for the conditions expected or encountered on the Project. The
Contractor is responsible to select and provide respiratory protection systems which will adequately
protect workers for the exposure levels encountered. The Contractor shall be prepared at all times to

material in excess of the trigger levels in that owner’s primary residence by
completing the opt-out form. If the homeowner chooses to opt-out, the GAC
contracting with the homeowner shall provide the completed, signed “Single-Family
Residential Dwelling Area of Public Access Opt-Out Form” to the Division. For a
project in which the homeowner has chosen to opt-out, then the single-family
residential dwelling will revert to being subject to the area of public access
requirements: 1) at the time of the homeowner’s choosing; 2) when the homeowner
no longer owns the single-family residential dwelling; or, 3) if the dwelling ceases
being the homeowner’s primary residence, whichever is first.
III.F. ALTERNATIVE PROCEDURES AND VARIANCES
The Division may, at its discretion, grant a variance from this Regulation allowing
use of an alternative procedure for the clearance of abatement projects or the control
of emissions from an asbestos abatement project provided that the person conducting
the asbestos abatement submits the alternative procedure in writing to the Division
along with a $50.00 review fee, and demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Division
that compliance with the regulation is neither practical nor feasible, or that the
proposed alternative procedures provide equivalent control of asbestos.

VII. STATEMENT OF BASIS AND PURPOSE
VII.A. AMENDMENT TO SECTION II – INCORPORATION OF THE EPA MODEL
ACCREDITATION PLAN BY REFERENCE (March 21, 1996)
Background
The Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act of 1986 (AHERA) (15 U.S.C. 2646) was
enacted to identify, manage and reduce exposure to asbestos in schools. The Asbestos School
Hazard Abatement Reauthorization Act of 1990 (ASHARA) (Public Law 101-637) extended the
training and certification requirements of AHERA to public and commercial buildings. Both
acts require the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to promulgate minimum standards for
the conduct of this training. In addition, states are mandated by both acts to either adopt EPA's
Model Accreditation Plan (MAP), as presented in 40 CFR Part 763, or create programs that are
at least as stringent as the EPA MAP. The state act contemplates adoption of the pertinent federal
training requirements in 25-7-503 (1)(f)(I). Through this rulemaking, the Commission is
incorporating by reference the Model Accreditation Plan into Air Quality Control Commission
Regulation Number 8, Part B, section II to comply with federal and state laws.
Specific Authority
The specific authority for this regulation is found in the Colorado Air Quality Control Act.
Section 25-7-503 (1)(f)(I) provides authority to promulgate regulations regarding the training
required to apply for state asbestos certification. This regulation will establish appropriate
minimum training standards that will meet both state and federal mandates.
Purpose
Regulation 8 generally provides protection to Colorado citizens from exposure to asbestos, a
Class A carcinogen, caused by improper abatements due to inadequate training of asbestos
Workers, Supervisors, Inspectors, management planners and project designers. This rule will
protect against potentially adverse economic impacts that might result against course providers in
Colorado. This rule also helps protect against adverse health and environmental effects that may
be caused by improperly trained asbestos Workers. In addition, this rule will meet the
requirements of federal law (AHERA) and state law (Colorado Air Quality Control Act).
VII.B. REVISIONS RESULTING FROM HB 95-1016 (September 19, 1996)
Basis
The Commission adopted revisions to Regulation No. 8, Part B, recommended by the Division to
comply with state legislative directives, and to make other revisions reflecting changes in the
federal program and appropriate changes to make the state program more effective and clear. A
variety of recommended revisions were appropriate given that Regulation No. 8 has not been
reopened and revised for over three years, apart from a recent limited revision regarding the EPA
Model Accreditation Plan, and it was necessary to bring the regulation up to date.
RFP 9059 Roof Abatement Services Page 207 of 530
Regulation No. 8 Effective: January 30, 2008 Section VII
Part B Page 93
The state asbestos program is not part of the State Implementation Plan (SIP), and the revisions
approved by the Commission today will not be submitted to EPA as part of Colorado's SIP.
Specific Statutory Authority
Specific authority exists for the Commission's revisions in § 25-7-105(10), and § 25-7-501 et
seq., C.R.S. In 1995 the Colorado legislature enacted HB 95-1016 amending Part 5, Asbestos
Control, to require a variety of changes to the program. Section 25-7-503 provides the
Commission with many separate specific authorities including, for example, specifying
abatement practices and procedures, assessing notification fees, prescribing inspection and
monitoring requirements, enforcing the maximum allowable asbestos level of 0.01 fibers per
cubic centimeter, and requiring training and examinations. Other sections in Part 5 provide
authority for specific requirements related, for example, to certification of personnel involved in
asbestos abatement. Each of the revisions adopted by the Commission today are supported by
specific authority within Part 5.
Purpose
The Commission revises Regulation No. 8, Part B, regarding asbestos regulation to effectuate
recent state legislative directives, to ensure the public is protected by minimizing the release of
asbestos, to address changes to the federal National Emissions Standard for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NESHAP) Subpart M regarding asbestos, and to update the regulation for efficiency
and clarity. The Commission adopts the substantive changes recommended by the Division and
relies upon the record to support those changes. The Commission adopts the Division's
proposals to eliminate unnecessary administrative text where it has been found in the regulation.
Also, the Commission adopts various incorporations by reference recommended by the Division
to bring Regulation No. 8, Part B, into conformity with the Colorado APA.
The Commission raises the minimum scope of asbestos abatement subject to the program as
recommended by the Division to conform with the NESHAP for asbestos and as directed in § 25-
7-503(1)(b), C.R.S. The Commission acknowledges certain statutory changes that are
prescriptive from HB 95-1016, e.g., the effect of a plea of nolo contendere (§ 25-7-
508(2)(a)(II)(C), C.R.S.), and prohibition from seeking recertification within one year after the
Division revokes certification for a violation of the regulation (§ 25-7-508(6), C.R.S.). The
Commission approves the Division devising application procedures to offer certificates for a one,
three or five year period at the option of the applicant (§§ 25-7-506(2), -507.5(2)(b), C.R.S.).
The Commission has considered the record and adopts the Division's proposals regarding the
project manager discipline and project design requirements. The Commission believes the
project manager duties are reasonable and appropriate, and determines at this time that imposing
a college-level or higher education requirement would unnecessarily preclude otherwise
qualified persons from performing these duties and that education at such a level was not
required by the legislature (§§ 25-7-502(7.5), -503(1)(b)(V)). The Commission approves of the
independence requirement for project managers from GACs, and the separate independence
requirement for Inspectors from GACs as reasonable and required by statute (§ 25-7-
503(1)(b)(V), C.R.S.).
RFP 9059 Roof Abatement Services Page 208 of 530
Section VII Effective: January 30, 2008 Regulation No. 8
Page 94 Part B
The Commission adopts the additional training and updated work practices appendix for the
removal of sheet vinyl containing asbestos based on the record. The Commission believes this is
generally consistent with EPA's NESHAP and with §§ 25-7-501 and -503(1)(a), C.R.S. by
reducing the risk of the release of asbestos fibers. Further, the Commission approves revisions to
the definitions of asbestos-containing waste material, facility, cutting, and grinding as consistent
with EPA's NESHAP. The Commission approves the disclosure regarding certification of
Workers conducting abatement in single-family residential dwellings as required by § 25-7-
504(3), C.R.S., to ensure that those doing the work are properly certified and therefore properly
trained. The Commission also adopts revisions to procedures for use of glove bags on abatement
projects as being reasonable and efficient, and providing practical assistance to those conducting
abatements while protecting the public from exposure to asbestos.
Based upon documents submitted and considered pursuant to § 25-7-110.5, C.R.S., the
Commission makes the following findings: (1) the Commission has considered and has based its
decision upon the reasonably available, validated, reviewed and sound scientific methodologies
and information made available by interested parties; (2) where these revisions are not
administrative in nature, the record supports that the revisions will result in a demonstrable
reduction in asbestos fiber releases or prevent asbestos releases where they might otherwise
occur; (3) the revisions selected are the most cost-effective based upon the documents submitted
pursuant to § 25-7-110.5(4)., C.R.S., they provide the regulated community with flexibility, and
achieve necessary reductions or prevention of the release of asbestos, and; (4) the revisions
selected will maximize the air quality benefits of asbestos regulation in the most cost-effective
manner.
VII.C. REVISIONS RESULTING FROM SB-01-121, THE DORA ASBESTOS
CONTROL PROGRAM 2000 SUNSET REVIEW, AND THE REORGANIZATION
OF REGULATION NO. 8, PART B (January 16, 2003)
This Statement of Basis, Specific Statutory Authority and Purpose complies with the
requirements of the Colorado Administrative Procedure Act Sections 24-4-103(4) and (12.5),
C.R.S. for new and revised regulations.
Basis
Regulation No. 8, Part B, sets forth the Air Quality Control Commission’s asbestos control
program. The statutory authority for this program is contained in the Colorado Air Pollution
Prevention and Control Act (“Act”). In 2001, the legislature amended Part 5 of the Act dealing
with asbestos control. These amendments, among other things, expanded the definition of Area
of Public Access to include single-family residential dwellings, mandated certification for Air
Monitoring Specialists and changed the definition of Friable Asbestos-Containing Material. As
part of the legislative review of the Act, the Department of Regulatory Agencies (“DORA”)
examined potential problems with the Act and Regulation No. 8, Part B. Based on this review,
DORA issued a report recommending a regulatory solution to perceived inequities in the
Conflict of Interest provision set forth in Regulation No. 8, Part B, Section III.C.6.b.v. These
revisions are needed to effect the statutory amendments and resolve the conflict of interest issue
identified in the DORA report. In addition, the Regulation has been reorganized to make it more
readable and easier to understand.
RFP 9059 Roof Abatement Services Page 209 of 530
Regulation No. 8 Effective: January 30, 2008 Section VII
Part B Page 95
Specific Statutory Authority
The specific statutory authority for these revisions is set forth in various sections of the Colorado
Air Pollution Prevention and Control Act. Section, 25-7-105(1), C.R.S., gives the Air Quality
Control Commission general authority to promulgate rules and regulations necessary for the
proper implementation of the Act. Additionally, the various provisions set forth in Part 5 of the
Act give the Commission specific authority to promulgate regulations governing asbestos
abatement and control. The provisions set forth in Sections 25-7-502 and 25-7-503, C.R.S.
authorize the regulatory revisions governing asbestos control in single-family residential
dwellings, changes to the conflict of interest regulations and modification of the regulatory
definition of friable asbestos-containing material. Additional authority regarding single-family
residential dwellings is set forth in Section 25-7-504, C.R.S. The revisions governing the
certification of Air Monitoring Specialists are specifically authorized pursuant to Section 25-7-
506.5, C.R.S.
Purpose
The purposes of these revisions are as follows: 1) to effectuate the legislative changes to the
state’s asbestos control program adopted through the passage of Senate Bill 01-121; 2) to address
inequalities that DORA noted with respect to the conflict of interest provisions; and 3) to
reorganize the Regulation to make it more readable and easier to understand.
VII.C.1. Senate Bill 01-121
In enacting Senate Bill 01-121, the Legislature made the following changes to Colorado's
asbestos control program: 1) revisions to expand statutory and regulatory requirements to single-
family residential dwellings; 2) modification of the definition of friable asbestos-containing
material to clarify that this term includes materials measured by area or volume as well as by
weight; and 3) adoption of a certification requirement for persons conducting Air Monitoring
Specialist activities. To accomplish these legislative changes the Commission has adopted a
number of revisions to Regulation No. 8, Part B.
VII.C.1.a. Single Family Residential Dwellings
Prior to the adoption of Senate Bill 01-121, single-family residential dwellings were not included
within the definition of area of public access. Because the majority of requirements set forth in
the Act and the Regulation apply only to areas of public access, this exclusion left homeowners
without recourse to important regulatory protections in connection with either the abatement of
asbestos or renovations impacting asbestos in their homes. To rectify this situation, the
Legislature modified the statutory definition of area of public access to include single-family
residential dwellings, but provided that such a dwelling would not be considered an area of
public access at the request of the homeowner residing in that dwelling. The Commission has
adopted essentially identical modifications to the regulatory definition. Modifications to the
regulatory provisions governing permitting and use of certified personnel have also been made to
provide that while single-family residential dwellings could constitute areas of public access,
neither permits nor the use of certified abatement Workers was required for abatement projects in
RFP 9059 Roof Abatement Services Page 210 of 530
Section VII Effective: January 30, 2008 Regulation No. 8
Page 96 Part B
such dwellings where the abatement was performed by an individual utilizing the dwelling as his
or her primary residence. These provisions are consistent with the statutory mandate set forth in
Senate Bill 01-121. Finally, the revisions create a new minimum scope of applicability with
regard to single-family residential dwellings. Consistent with the authority set forth in Senate
Bill 01-121 the Commission has set applicability levels for abatement projects in single-family
residential dwellings at 50 linear feet on pipes or 32 square feet on other surfaces. These levels
are lower than the levels currently set for projects in public and commercial buildings. The
lower levels have been adopted in view of the fact that residential projects are typically much
smaller; nonetheless, they are likely to result in prolonged exposure to higher risk populations,
such as small children, the elderly or the infirm, than projects in public or commercial buildings.
VII.C.1.b. Definition of Friable Asbestos-Containing Material
The previous definition of the term "friable asbestos-containing material" referenced material
containing more than one percent asbestos by weight. Authorized laboratory analytical methods,
however, have, in addition to weight, utilized measurements by area or volume. Consistent with
these methods, and the change to the statutory definition, the new regulatory definition clarifies
that friable asbestos-containing material includes material containing more than one percent
asbestos by area or volume, as well as weight.
VII.C.1.c. Certification of Air Monitoring Specialists
Air Monitoring Specialists perform air sampling during and at the end of asbestos abatement
projects as well as conduct final visual inspections to ensure that visible dust or debris is not left
at the conclusion of the project. These activities are crucial to protecting the general public from
asbestos exposure resulting from abatement projects. Despite the important role that they play in
protecting the public, Air Monitoring Specialists were not previously required to obtain a state
certification. This omission undermined the Division's ability to ensure that Air Monitoring
Specialists were properly qualified, and precluded the Division from revoking certifications of
unqualified individuals. In recognition of this, Senate Bill 01-121 required certification of Air
Monitoring Specialists in accordance with Commission regulations setting forth experience,
education and training requirements.
These revisions adopt requirements necessary to effectuate the certification of Air Monitoring
Specialists. The new requirements allow currently practicing Air Monitoring Specialists to
obtain certification upon successful completion of an Air Monitoring Specialist refresher course
and a Division administered exam. Individuals who are not qualified under the present
regulation, must have a high school diploma and pass a Division approved exam, as well as
complete an Air Monitoring Specialist course and on-the-job experience consisting of at least 80
hours of air monitoring under the supervision of an existing AMS and at least two final visual
clearances and at least two final air clearances under the observation of an existing AMS. While
an existing AMS must sign off on a trainee's completion of the on-the-job experience, such a
sign off shall not subject the AMS to any enforcement action or liability based on the trainee's
subsequent performance of AMS activities.
VII.C.2. DORA Recommendation
RFP 9059 Roof Abatement Services Page 211 of 530
Regulation No. 8 Effective: January 30, 2008 Section VII
Part B Page 97
In connection with its review of Regulation No. 8, Part B, the Department of Regulatory
Agencies recommended revisions to the provision governing potential conflicts of interest with
respect to inspections for asbestos. The new regulation requires that inspection and abatement
firms be independent of each other but removes the prohibition against payments from abatement
contractors to Inspectors. This change puts abatement and inspection firms on equal footing with
respect to contracting with building owners, while giving owners the flexibility to contract with a
single firm and allow that firm to sub-contract the abatement or inspection work with another
firm.
VII.C.3. Reorganization
The regulation has been reorganized to make it more readable and easier to understand. This
reorganization has not substantively changed any requirements, but rather has put these
requirements into a more accessible format.
Section I.A. of the Regulation governing materials incorporated by reference, has been expanded
to include not only a statement that certain materials have been incorporated by reference, but
also a list of those materials. This change makes the substantive provisions citing these materials
easier to read and allows the reader to know up front what additional rules, beyond the regulation
itself, apply to asbestos control in Colorado.
The definition section has been changed to include a list of relevant acronyms. This allows the
reader to quickly identify what a given acronym stands for. Additionally, throughout the
reorganized regulation, electronic links have been created so that individuals electronically
reviewing a particular provision can immediately link to a given definition or acronym used in
that provision.
Section II of the rule, governing certifications, has been substantially re-written to systematically
explain the steps necessary to obtain certification in each of the certified disciplines. The current
regulation organizes this information by the different types of requirements rather than by
discipline. For example, testing requirements for all the disciplines are contained in one
subsection, while training requirements are contained in another. The proposed reorganization
organizes this material by discipline. As such, a person seeking to become certified as a
Building Inspector can turn directly to the Building Inspector section, and not have to flip back
and forth between several subsections. In addition, the current rule includes provisions
governing when use of certified personnel is required. Because these provisions substantively
govern asbestos control, and do not address how certification is to be obtained, they have been
moved to a new subsection in Section III governing abatement, renovation and demolition
projects.
The substantive requirements in Section III have been reorganized to follow, as nearly as
possible, the chronological steps that need to be taken in dealing with asbestos-containing
materials in buildings. Given the complexity of the regulation, perfect sequencing was not
possible, since certain requirements may be applicable at various stages, but generally the
proposed revisions logically group related requirements together and in an order that should
make sense to a layperson trying to determine how to properly proceed with respect to asbestos
RFP 9059 Roof Abatement Services Page 212 of 530
Section VII Effective: January 30, 2008 Regulation No. 8
Page 98 Part B
control. In addition, statements have been added to clarify when the various requirements are
applicable.
Because certain specialized rules apply to asbestos in schools and state buildings, separate
sections containing these rules have been maintained in the regulation. A new Section VI has
been created governing standards associated with the manufacture and construction of asbestos
materials. These requirements are currently placed in Section III governing project
requirements. Because these rules are separate and distinct from the rules governing the removal
and management of asbestos in buildings, the Division believes that they should be contained in
a separate section. Finally, the section governing enforcement has been deleted from the
proposed reorganization. This section unnecessarily duplicated the provisions of the Act, and its
inclusion in the regulation was inconsistent with the other air regulations that rely on the Act for
their enforcement mechanisms.
Findings Pursuant to § 25-7-110.8, C.R.S.
These revisions are based on reasonably available, validated and reviewed, and sound scientific
methodologies demonstrating that exposure to asbestos creates a public health hazard. Interested
parties did not provide the Commission with any other validated, reviewed and scientifically
sound methodologies or information.
Based on the evidence presented on the record, the requirements of this revised regulation will
reduce public exposure to harmful asbestos fibers and therefore reduce the risks to human health
and the environment thereby justifying the costs associated with this regulation.
The revisions represent the regulatory alternative presented to the Commission, which best
balances cost-effectiveness, flexibility to the regulated community and maximization of air
quality benefits.

C.R.S. for new and revised regulations.
Basis
Regulation No. 8, Part B, sets forth the Air Quality Control Commission’s asbestos control
program. The statutory authority for this program is contained in the Colorado Air Pollution
Prevention and Control Act (“Act”). The Legislative Legal Services contacted the Division to
identify a concern with the single family residential dwelling opt-out provision. Specifically,
Legislative Legal Services indicated that the regulatory language governing single-family
residential opt outs conflicted with the overriding statutory language. While the intent of the old
provision was to be consistent with the statutory directive, the old regulatory language failed to

Control Commission general authority to promulgate rules and regulations necessary for the
proper implementation of the Act. Additionally, the various provisions set forth in Part 5 of the
Act give the Commission specific authority to promulgate regulations governing asbestos
abatement and control. The provision set forth in Section 25-7-502, C.R.S. authorizes the
regulatory revisions governing asbestos control in single-family residential dwellings.
Additional authority regarding single-family residential dwellings is set forth in Section 25-7-
504, C.R.S.
Purpose
This changes addresses the issue identified by Legislative Legal Services with respect to the
single-family residential dwelling opt-out provision.

VII.F. REVISIONS TO REGULATION NUMBER 8, PART B (June 21, 2007)
This Statement of Basis, Specific Statutory Authority and Purpose comply with the requirements
of the Colorado Administrative Procedure Act Sections 24-4-103(4) and (12.5), C.R.S. for new
and revised regulations.
Basis
Regulation No. 8, Part B, sets forth the Air Quality Control Commission’s asbestos control
program. The statutory authority for this program is contained in the Colorado Air Pollution
Prevention and Control Act (“Act”). In 2006, the Legislature amended Part 5 of the Act dealing
with asbestos control. These amendments, among other things: extended the sunset period to July
1, 2013; mandated exams for Air Monitoring Specialists; allowed the Division to establish
certification renewal cycles, and the need to retest, administratively; changed an incorrect Code
of Federal Regulations reference; and applied the regulation consistently across all building
types. This included requiring an Air Monitoring Specialist to be independent of the General
Abatement Contractor. It also included requiring a Project Manager on abatement projects of
specified amounts of friable asbestos-containing materials in all building types. In addition, the
Regulation has been changed to fix several administrative, typographical and referencing errors.
Specific Statutory Authority
The specific statutory authority for these revisions is set forth in various sections of the Colorado
Air Pollution Prevention and Control Act. Section, 25-7-105(1), C.R.S., gives the Air Quality
Control Commission general authority to promulgate rules and regulations necessary for the
proper implementation of the Act. Additionally, the various provisions set forth in Part 5 of the
Act give the Commission specific authority to promulgate regulations governing asbestos
abatement and control. The provisions set forth in Sections 25-7-505.5, C.R.S. authorize the
regulatory revision to allow proficiency testing of Air Monitoring Specialists. Section 25-7-503,
C.R.S., authorizes changes to the regulation for consistency and revises an incorrect Code of
Federal Regulations reference. Additionally, authority to allow the Division to change
certification periods is set forth in Sections 25-7-506, 25-7-506.5 and 25-7-507.5, C.R.S.
Purpose
The purposes of these revisions are as follows: 1) to effectuate the legislative changes to the
State’s asbestos control program adopted through the passage of House Bill 06-1177, and 2) to
fix several administrative, typographical and referencing errors.
House Bill 06-1177
In enacting House Bill 06-1177, the Legislature made the following changes to Colorado's
asbestos control program: 1) addition of a examination requirement for persons conducting Air
Monitoring Specialist activities; 2) corrected an incorrect Code of Federal Regulation reference;
3) required an Air Monitoring Specialist to be independent of the General Abatement Contractor;
and 4) required a Project Manager on abatement projects (over a specified minimum amount of
RFP 9059 Roof Abatement Services Page 216 of 530
Section VII Effective: January 30, 2008 Regulation No. 8
Page 102 Part B
friable asbestos-containing materials) in all building types. To accomplish these legislative
changes the Commission has adopted a number of revisions to Regulation No. 8, Part B.
1.Examinations for Air Monitoring Specialists
Air Monitoring Specialists perform air sampling during, and at the conclusion of, asbestos
abatement projects. They also conduct final visual inspections to ensure that visible dust or
debris is not left behind at the conclusion of the project. These activities are crucial to protecting
the general public from asbestos exposure resulting from abatement projects. Several years ago,
Legislative Legal Services determined that the Division did not have the specific statutory
authority to administer tests to Air Monitoring Specialist applicants. This determination removed
the Division's ability to ensure that Air Monitoring Specialists were properly trained and
competent to perform their duties. In recognition of this, House Bill 06-1177 revised the
statutory language to make it clearer that an examination was required in order for them to
become certified.
2.Statutorily Established Certification Periods
Currently, it is a requirement that certified individuals take an annual refresher class and pass a
state certification test for each discipline. Those who have renewed their certification for many
years have often asked for relief from the annual testing requirement. It was recommended that
the Division track pass/fail rates and other factors for a period of time to determine appropriate
renewal cycles based on these rates.
3. Correct Code of Federal Regulations Provisions
In Section III.U.3.a. (Maximum Allowable Asbestos Level – Second Set by TEM) of the
Regulation, a reference to a provision in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) is made that is
no longer correct due to changes within that document. This provision must be changed in order
to be consistent with the current CFR.
4. Consistency in Requirements of the Regulation
In connection with its review of Regulation No. 8, Part B, DORA recommended extending the
provision governing potential conflicts of interest with respect to Air Monitoring Specialists and
General Abatement Contractors. Additionally, the legislature adopted the use of Project
Managers on qualifying abatement projects of friable asbestos containing material in all types of
buildings. School buildings and single-family residential dwellings were not covered by this
requirement. As abatement projects in these types of buildings may be just as complex as
projects in public and commercial buildings, the legislature made the requirements apply to all
buildings.
B. Corrections
RFP 9059 Roof Abatement Services Page 217 of 530
Regulation No. 8 Effective: January 30, 2008 Appendix A
Part B Page 103
A number of administrative, typographical and referencing errors were corrected. These
corrections have not changed any requirements, but were necessary to correct errors that were
present.
Findings Pursuant to § 25-7-110.8, C.R.S.
These revisions are based on reasonably available, validated and reviewed, and sound scientific
methodologies demonstrating that exposure to asbestos creates a public health hazard.
Based on the evidence presented on the record, the requirements of this revised regulation will
reduce public exposure to harmful asbestos fibers and therefore reduce the risks to human health
and the environment thereby justifying any costs associated with this regulation.
The revisions represent the regulatory alternative presented to the Commission, which best
balances cost-effectiveness, flexibility to the regulated community and maximization of air
quality benefits.
VII.G. Revisions to Regulation Number 8, Part B (December 20 & 21, 2007)
This Statement of Basis, Specific Statutory Authority and Purpose complies with the
requirements of the Colorado Administrative Procedure Act Sections 24-4-103(4), C.R.S. for
new and revised regulations.
Basis
The Air Quality Control Commission has adopted revisions to Regulation No. 8, Part B, Sections
I.B.13., I.B.14., I.B.15., (all other definition numbers will be updated to reflect these 3
additions), II.B.1., II.B.2., II.C.2., II.C.4., II.C.6., II.D.2., II.D.3.b.(iv)., II.E.1., II.E.1.a., II.G.1.,

Do not sand, dry sweep, dry scrape, drill, saw,
beadblast, or mechanically chip or pulverize
existing resilient flooring, backing, lining felt or
asphaltic “cut-back” adhesives.
These products may contain either asbestos
fibers or crystalline silica.
Avoid creating dust. Inhalation of such dust is
a cancer and respiratory tract hazard.
Smoking by individuals exposed to asbestos
fibers greatly increases the risk of serious bodily
harm.
Unless positively certain that the product is a
non-asbestos containing material, you must
presume it contains asbestos. Regulations may
require that the material be tested to determine
asbestos content.
The RFCI’s Recommended Work Practices for
Removal of Resilient Floor Coverings are a defined
set of instructions which should be followed if you
must remove existing resilient floor covering
structures.
NOTICE
Various federal, state and local government agencies
have regulations covering the removal of asbestos-
containing material. If you are considering the removal
of resilient floor covering that contains, or is presumed
to contain, asbestos you should review and comply with
the appropriate regulations.

IMPORTANT
INFORMATION FOR
INSTALLERS OF
RESILIENT FLOOR
COVERINGS
Introduction
The member companies of the Resilient Floor
Covering Institute are manufacturers of the following
forms of Resilient Floor Coverings:
1. Sheet Vinyl
2. Vinyl Floor Tile
While today these products do not contain asbestos,
it is possible that in the past some of these products,
including asphalt tile, may have contained firmly
encapsulated asbestos fibers. In the past decade much
attention has been focused on the relationship between
exposure to asbestos fibers and respiratory ailments. It
has been determined that inhalation of free airborne
asbestos fibers may be injurious to health. However, the
asbestos fibers contained in the above types of resilient
floor coverings are not free but firmly encapsulated or
locked in the product during the manufacturing process.
The Resilient Floor Covering Institute is providing
this booklet of recommended work practices for
installing or removing resilient floors so that you may
proceed with this work in a prudent and protected
manner.
There are several general rules to follow:
1. Unless positively certain that the floor is a non-
asbestos product, presume it contains asbestos and
treat it in the manner prescribed in this pamphlet for
a floor containing asbestos.
2. It is preferred to install a new floor over a floor
which contains asbestos rather than to remove that
floor. This can be done by several methods –
directly over the existing floor; installing new
underlayment; or use of leveling compound
following
2
installation procedures recommended by the floor
covering manufacturer.
3. Removal should be considered the last alternative.
4. Never sand any resilient floor or it’s backing to
remove them from the floor (See Warning).
5. Use a vacuum equipped with a HEPA filter,
disposable dust bag, and metal floor attachment (no
brush).
6. All sheet removal must be done using detergent
solution.
7. All tile removal must be done by wetting (misting)
the tile prior to removal with a garden sprayer,
except when heat s being used for removal.
8. All felt scraping must be done wet.
9. Do not dry sweep.
10. Material removed must be placed in heavy-duty
polyethylene bags at least 6 mils thick or in a closed
leak-tight container, properly labeled and disposed of
in an authorized landfill.
Regulation No. 8 Effective: January 30, 2008 Appendix B
Part B Page 111
asbestos-containing flooring materials are required
to complete an 8-hour training program.
Employers must designate a “competent person”
with 4 hours of additional training to be responsible
for the health and safety of the Workers at the floor
removal job site.
OSHA has determined that the competent person
can make a “negative exposure assessment,” based
upon data in the OSHA asbestos rulemaking record
(including data from the ENVIRON reports)
showing that the use of the Recommended Work
Practices during removal of intact flooring material
consistently results in Worker exposures below the
levels permitted in the OSHA standards.
Where other Workers or persons may have access to
the flooring removal worksite, the employer must
establish a demarcated “regulated area” and post
warning signs.
Workers who engage in the removal of asbestos-
containing flooring materials for more than 30 days
per year (one hour or more per day) must receive
medical surveillance.

RECOMMENDED WORK
PRACTICES
PREPARATION OF FLOORS WITH EXISTING
RESILIENT FLOOR COVERINGS TO RECEIVE
NEW RESILIENT FLOOR COVERINGS
Follow the installation instruction published by the
manufacturer of the new floor covering when a new
resilient sheet or tile floor covering is to be installed on a
surface presently covered with a resilient floor covering.
These instructions will tell you what must be done to the
existing surface before the new resilient floor covering can
be installed.
On the four general procedures listed below, Items 1a, b,
and c are covered by manufactures’ instructions. Item 2 is
covered specifically in this Work Practices Manual.
1. Resilient Floor Covering Installed Over…
(a) The Existing Surface. Follow the
manufacturer’s instruction for removing wax,
filling in low spots, etc. Use wet scrubbing.
Never sand an existing resilient floor
covering.
(b) New Underlayment. Install panels on top of
the existing surface (wood subfloors only) and
apply new floor coverings directly over this.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
(c) Leveling Compounds. Follow the
manufacturer’s instructions.
2. Completely Removed Existing Resilient Floor
Covering
(a) Sheet Vinyl – See instructions below:

ADHERED SHEET VINYL FLOOR COVERING
A. Preparation
1. Move all appliances and furniture from the
work area.
2. Remove all binding strips or other restrictive
molding from doorways, walls, etc.
3. Mix a detergent solution (16 ounces of the
specified liquid detergent [see Page 6, #6] to 1
gallon of warm water) and pour into a garden
sprayer.
4. Clean the entire floor using a wet/dry vacuum
cleaner equipped with a HEPA Filtration
System and metal floor attachment (no brush).
Do Not Sweep.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD EXISTS;
USE A GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT
INTERRUPTER FOR ANY ELECTRICAL
CONNECTIONS IN A WET ENVIRONMENT.
B. Make a slice in the adhered floor covering 4 to
8 inches wide, parallel with the walls, around
the perimeter of the room.
C. Start on either side of the entrance door, pry up
the corner of the first strip, separating the
backing layer. As the strip is being removed, a
constant mist of the detergent solution must be
sprayed into the delamination nip point to
minimize any airborne dust particles.* When
done properly. Any felt remaining on the floor
and on the back of the strip
8
will be thoroughly wet. The strip is peeled by
pulling upward at the angle that permits the best
separation or by rolling around a core.
D. Roll the strip tightly as it is removed. Tie or tape
securely and place in a heavy-duty leak-tight trash
bag or closed impermeable container for disposal.
E. It may be necessary to remove a second strip
following steps (B, C, D) if the unadhered subfloor
area has not been exposed.
*PRECAUTION: Resilient flooring becomes slippery
when wet with detergent solution. Use caution to contain
the solution in the immediate work area. Standing on a
new sheet of plywood or non-slip surface while working
is recommended.
F. Remove all of the exposed residual felt by wet
scraping before proceeding.
RESIDUAL FELT MUST BE REMOVED BY WET
SCRAPING; DO NOT SAND OR DRY SCRAPE IN
ANY WAY; DO NOT DRY SWEEP; AVOID
CREATING DUST. SEE WARNING STATEMENT.
Wet Scraping Residual Felt
1. Thoroughly wet the residual felt with the
detergent solution and allow a few minutes to
soak.
2. Stand on the remaining floor covering (not the
felt) and use the stiff-bladed scraper or a floor
scraper with a replacement blade to remove the
Appendix B Effective: January 30, 2008 Regulation No. 8
Page 114 Part B
Never sand or dry scrape residual felt. See
Warning Statement.
3. Re-wet the felt if the solution has not
completely penetrated, if drying occurs or if dry
felt is exposed during scraping. Scrape all felt
from this floor area before proceeding further.
Pick up the scrapings as they are removed from
the floor and place in a heavy-duty
impermeable trash bag or closed leak-tight
container.
PRECAUTION: Wet residual felt as above but do not
excessively soak or flood wood floors with detergent
solution. Excessive water can damage wood floors to
the extent that new underlayment could be required. A
floor that has been wet scraped must be allowed to dry
thoroughly before new resilient flooring is installed.
G. Continue around the room completely
removing the adhered flooring along the
perimeter, one strip at a time following steps B
through F. Do not remove the flooring in the
entrance doorway until all other flooring has
been completely removed.
H. Place all flooring strips and felt scrapings
immediately while wet into the recommended
trash bags. Close full bags tightly and seal
securely for disposal. Identify with a label
stating, “Caution–Contains Asbestos. Avoid
opening or breaking bag or container.
Breathing asbestos may cause serious bodily
harm.” Dispose of in an approved landfill
only.*

I. Vacuum up any residue of wet felt scrapings
immediately with a wet/dry vacuum equipped
with a HEPA filter and metal floor attachment
(no brush).
J. Remove the unadhered flooring as detailed in
the following steps.
K. After vacuuming, used HEPA filters and cleaner
bags should be removed according to the
manufacturer’s instructions and placed in a
heavy-duty impermeable bag or leak-tight
container with a label stating “Caution–Contains
Asbestos. Avoid opening or breaking bag or
container. Breathing asbestos may cause serious
bodily harm.” Dispose of in an approved
landfill only.
*NOTICE
Various federal, state and local government agencies have
regulations covering the removal of asbestos-containing
material. If you are considering the removal of resilient
floor covering that contains, or is presumed to contain,
asbestos you should review and comply with the
appropriate regulations. The RFCI recommended work
practices are designed to comply with the federal
occupational asbestos permissible exposure limits.

*PRECAUTION: Resilient flooring becomes slippery
when with a detergent solution. Use caution to contain
the solution in the immediate work area. Standing on a
new sheet of plywood or non-slip surface while working
is recommended.
D. Roll the wet strip tightly and tie or tape to
secure. Continue working toward the doorway,
slicing each strip and removing it while spraying
the separation nip point with the detergent
solution. Place the strips while still wet into a
heavy-duty impermeable trash bag or closed
leak-tight container. Close full bags tightly and
seal securely for disposal. Identify with a label
stating, “Caution–Contains Asbestos. Avoid
opening or breaking bag or container. Breathing
asbestos may cause serious bodily harm.”

E. After removing three strips of flooring, vacuum
the exposed floor using a wet/dry vacuum
equipped with a HEPA filter and metal floor
attachment (no brush).
F. Seams and other adhered areas should be
removed as they are encountered by stripping
the wear surface while spraying the detergent
solution into the delamination nip point and wet
scraping the residual felt as previously described
in complete removal of peripherally adhered
flooring.
G. Continue removing flooring doing only one
three-strip area at a time until the entire floor
has been completely removed.
12
H. When the whole floor has been completely removed,
let it dry and vacuum up any dust using a vacuum
with a HEPA Filtration System and a metal floor
attachment (no brush). Stand only in vacuumed
areas as you proceed across the floor. Position the
vacuum cleaner so that discharge air does not blow
on the floor being cleaned.
Do not dry sweep; avoid creating dust. SEE
WARNING STATEMENT.
I. After vacuuming, used HEPA filters and cleaner bags
should be removed according to manufacturer’s
instructions and placed into a heavy-duty
impermeable trash bag or closed leak-tight container.

D. Roll the strip tightly as it is removed. Tie or tape
securely and place in a heavy duty leak-tight trash
bag or closed impermeable container for disposal.
E. Occasionally, parts of the foam inner-layer will
remain stuck to the backing. This condition can
sometimes be eliminated by pulling the strips loose
from the opposite end. Peel the foam inner-layer
from the floor while spraying the detergent solution
into the delamination nip point.
Some resilient flooring is not readily strippable
by hand. When those conditions are encountered, it
may be necessary to employ a sharp, stiff blade
scraper to assist cleavage of the wearlayer from felt
(distance between cuts in wearlayer should be
narrower, 3” to 5” wide).
NOTE: Regardless of which one of the previously
mentioned methods is used for stripping the wear
surface, the detergent solution must be sprayed into
the delamination nip point to minimize any airborne
dust particles.
F. Repeat the wetting and removal process on the next
two strips, placing them immediately into the
recommended trash bags or closed leak-fight
containers for disposal.
NOTE: During the stripping process, do not stand
or walk on the exposed felt.
G. After removing three strips of the wear surface, the
remaining residual felt must be removed by wet
scraping before proceeding.

COMPETE REMOVAL OF THIN WOOD
UNDERLAYMENT COVERED WITH EXISTING
SHEET VINYL RESILIENT FLOORING
The removal of resilient flooring over wood
subfloors using the wet stripping/wet scraping method
may not be practical in cases where multiple layers of
floor covering are present, where non-recommended
underlayments were used, or where the flooring was
made with a heavy foam backing. As an alternative, the
18
wood underlayment can be removed with the flooring
adhered to it. Following are the details.
A. Preparation
Move all appliances and furniture from the work
area.
Remove all binding strips or other restrictive
molding from doorways, walls. etc.
Prepare a detergent solution (16 ounces of the
specified liquid detergent [See page 6] to 1
gallon of warm water) and pour into a garden
sprayer.
Clean the entire floor with a wet/dry vacuum
equipped with a HEPA Filtration System and
metal floor attachment (no brush).
B. Locate the joints of the underlayment panel farthest
from the entrance door.
C. Slice a strip of the flooring 4 to 8 inches wide
centered over the underlayment joint in the panel
being removed.
D. Pry up the corner of the strip separating the backing
layer. As the strip is being removed, a constant mist
of the detergent solution must be sprayed into the
delamination nip point to minimize any airborne
dust particles.* When done properly, any felt
remaining on the floor and on the back of the strip
will be thoroughly wet. The strip is peeled by pulling
upward at an angle that permits the best separation
or by rolling around a core.

*PRECAUTION: Resilient flooring becomes
slippery when wetted with a detergent solution. Use
caution to contain the solution in the immediate
work area. Standing on a new sheet of plywood or
non-slip surface while working is recommended.
E. Roll the strip tightly as it is removed. Tie or tape
securely and place in a heavy-duty impermeable
trash bag or closed impermeable container for
disposal, which is labeled “Caution—Contains
Asbestos. Avoid opening or breaking bag or
container. Breathing asbestos may cause serious
bodily harm.” Dispose of in an approved landfill
only.

20
Never sand or dry scrape residual felt. See Warning
Statement.
3. Re-wet the felt if the solution has not
completely penetrated, if drying occurs or if
dry felt is exposed during scraping. Scrape
all felt from this floor area before proceeding
further. Pick up the scrapings as they are
removed from the floor and place in a heavy-
duty impermeable trash bag or closed
impermeable container.
4. Continue around the underlayment panel
completely removing the adhered flooring
over the joints.
5. Place all flooring strips and felt scrapings
immediately while wet into the
recommended trash bags or closed leak-tight
containers. Close full bags tightly and seal
securely for disposal. Identify with a label
stating. “Caution—Contains Asbestos.
Avoid opening or breaking bag or container.
Breathing asbestos may cause serious bodily
harm.” Dispose in an approved landfill only.
(See NOTICE page 11.)
6. Vacuum the exposed floor area using a
wet/dry vacuum equipped with a HEPA filter
and metal floor attachment (no brush).
G. Drive a cold chisel using a hammer or mallet into the
joint at a corner of the panel. Now use the chisel to
pry the panel up far enough to insert a pry bar.

is completely loose and can be removed. Every
attempt should be made to remove the panel in one
piece.
H. If the underlayment panel breaks, cut the resilient
flooring at the break and spray the detergent solution
onto the exposed felt. Allow the solution to
penetrate for a few minutes, then continue lifting the
broken underlayment.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD EXISTS. USE
A GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER
FOR ANY ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS IN A
WET ENVIRONMENT.
I. Remove each underlayment panel or piece from the
work area as it is lifted to avoid injury. Wear heavy
gloves when handling removed panels. Be very
careful of wood splinters and protruding fasteners.
Flatten the fasteners with a hammer and stack the
panels back to back on pallets or place in dumpster.
Identify panels with a label stating, “Caution—
Contains Asbestos. Avoid breaking panels.
Breathing asbestos may cause serious bodily harm.”
Dispose of in an approved landfill only. Place any
small wood or flooring scraps in a heavy-duty
impermeable trash bag or closed leak-tight container
for disposal. Identify all of the containers and bags
with a label stating, “Caution—Contains Asbestos.
Avoid opening or breaking bag or container.
Breathing asbestos may cause serious bodily harm.”
Dispose of in an approved landfill only.
J. If the underlayment extends under cabinets or wall
partitions, it will be necessary to slice through the
flooring with a knife as close to the vertical surfaces
as possible, deeply scoring the panel. This should
allow removal.
K. After each panel has been lifted and removed from
the work area, pull up any remaining nails or
fasteners in the subfloor.
L. Continue removing each underlayment panel
following steps G though K.
M. When the underlayment/resilient flooring removal is
completed, vacuum with a HEPA filter and metal
floor attachment (no brush). Prepare the subfloor
following the manufacturer’s installation
recommendations.

RESILIENT TILE
FLOOR COVERING
Preparation of Floors with Existing Resilient Tiles
to Receive New Resilient Floor Covering
Some resilient floor coverings can be installed over
existing resilient tile installations. Follow the installation
instructions published by the manufacturer of the new
floor covering when a new resilient floor covering is to be
installed on a surface presently covered with a resilient
floor covering.
These instructions will tell you what must be done to
the existing surface before the new resilient floor covering
can be installed.
Regulation No. 8 Effective: January 30, 2008 Appendix B
Part B Page 121
Occasionally, there is no alternative except to
remove the tile; curling, poor bond and breakage are
common reasons. If removal is unavoidable,
consideration must also be given to subfloors coated
with asphalt tile adhesive. The following procedures
address the recommended work practice for removal of
floor tile and preparation of adhesive-coated floors.
Removal Procedure
A. Preparation
1. Move all appliances and furniture from the
work area.
2. Remove all binding strips or other restrictive
molding from the doorways, walls, etc.
3. The entire floor should be cleaned with a
wet/dry vacuum equipped with a HEPA
Filtration System and a metal floor attachment
(no brush). Do Not Sweep.
4. Floor tiles must be wetted (misted with a garden
sprayer) before actual removal begins, unless
heat will be used to remove tiles.
B. Those areas normally exposed to heavy foot traffic
patterns usually have tiles adhered the tightest. As a
matter of good practice in starting the tile removal,
those sections which receive the least traffic should
be the locations selected for starting the removal of
the tile. It should be the goal to remove individual
tiles as a complete unit although breakage of tiles is
unavoidable.
C. Start the removal by carefully wedging the wall
scraper in the seam of two adjoining tiles and
gradually forcing the edge of one of the tiles up and
24
away from the floor. Continue to force the balance of
the tile up by working the scraper beneath the tile and
exerting both a forward pressure and a twisting action
on the blade to promote release of the tile from the
adhesive and the floor.
D. When the first tile is removed, place it, without
breaking it further into smaller pieces, in a heavy-
duty impermeable trash bag or closed leak-tight
container which will be used for disposal.
E. With the removal of the first tile accessibility of the
other tile is improved. Force the wall scraper under
the exposed edge of another tile and continue to exert
a prying twisting force to the scraper as it is moved
under the tile until the tile releases from the floor.
Again, dispose of the tile, and succeeding tiles, by
placing in the heavy-duty bag or closed leak-tight
container without additional breaking.
F. Some tiles will release quite easily while others
require varying degrees of force. Where the adhesive
is spread heavily or is quite hard, it may prove easier
to force the scraper though the tightly adhered areas
by striking the scraper handle with a hammer using
blows of moderate force while maintaining the
scraper at a 25° to 30° angle to the floor.
Continue to wet (mist) the tiles with a garden
sprayer.
Appendix B Effective: January 30, 2008 Regulation No. 8
Page 122 Part B
NOTE: Handle the hot air blower or a radiant heat
source, tiles and adhesive carefully to avoid personal
burns.
NOTE: Do not handle the heated tiles and adhesive
without suitable glove protection for the hands.
H. As small areas of subfloor are cleared of tile, the
adhesive remaining on the floor must be treated.
The degree of treatment for residual cut-back
adhesive is dependent upon the type of new resilient
floor covering material to be installed and the type
of subfloor. See page 31 Preparation of Adhesive
Coated Subfloor for special recommendations.
If new resilient floor tile is to be installed over a
concrete subfloor using an asphaltic adhesive, the
residual asphaltic “cut-back” adhesive must be left
so that no ridges or puddles are evident and what
remains is a thin, smooth film.
Wet Scraping Residual Adhesive
(1) Start in the corner of the room farthest from the
entrance door and moisten an area approximately 3’
x 10’ with water mixed with the specified liquid
dishwashing detergent (1 oz. specified liquid
dishwashing detergent to one gallon of water) to aid
in wetting the adhesive. Wet scrape with a stiff-
bladed wall or floor scraper removing ridges and any
loose adhesive.
(2) Place loosened adhesive residues into a heavy-duty
impermeable trash bag or other leak-tight container
and seal with ties, tape or string and label
“Caution—Contains Asbestos. Avoid opening or
breaking container. Breathing asbestos is hazardous
to your health.” Dispose in an approved landfill
26
only.
(3) Wet vacuum standing water with HEPA wet/dry
vacuum.
(4) Continue steps (1) through (3) until what remains
of the residual asphaltic “cut-back” adhesive is a
thin, smooth film.
I. As indicated in previous paragraphs, tiles should be
placed immediately in a heavy-duty impermeable
trash bag or closed leak-tight container. Do not
attempt to break tiles further after they are in the bag.
J. When all tiles and adhesive residue have been
removed from the floor and placed in heavy-duty
polyethylene bags at least 6 mils thick or closed
containers, seal the bags securely for disposal and
label, “Caution—Contains Asbestos. Avoid opening
or breaking bag or container. Breathing asbestos may
cause serious bodily harm.” Dispose in an approved
landfill only.
K. Vacuum up any dirt in the area using a vacuum
equipped with a HEPA filter and metal floor
attachment (no brush).
L. After vacuuming, used HEPA filters and cleaner bags
should be removed according to manufacturer’s
instructions and placed in a heavy-duty impermeable
trash bag or a leak-tight container with a label stating

13. Pressure-sensitive labels 3” x 5” or larger.
14. Ground fault circuit interrupter for connection of
HEPA vacuum and any other electrical equipment.
Removal Procedure
A. Preparation
1. Move all appliances and furniture from the
work area.
2. Remove any binding strips or other restrictive
molding from doorways, walls, etc.
3. The entire floor should be cleaned with a
wet/dry vacuum equipped with a HEPA Fil-
tration System and a metal floor attachment (no
28
brush). Do Not Sweep.
4. Floor tiles must be wetted (misted with a
garden sprayer) before actual removal begins,
unless heat will be used to remove tiles.
B. Starting at the doorway or a floor ventilation vent,
locate a joint in an underlayment board.
C. Start the removal by carefully wedging the wall
scraper in the seam of two adjoining tiles and
gradually forcing the edge of one of the tiles up and
away from the floor. Continue to force the balance of
the tile up by working the scraper beneath the tile and
exerting both a forward pressure and a twisting action
on the blade to promote release of the tile from the
adhesive and the floor. Continue to remove tile in this
manner at all joints, until all board joints are exposed.
D. When the first tile is removed, place it, without
breaking it further into smaller pieces, in a heavy-
duty impermeable trash bag or closed leak-tight
container which will be used for disposal.
E. With the removal of the first tile accessibility of the
other tile is improved. Force the wall scraper under
the exposed edge of another tile and continue to exert
a prying twisting force to the scraper as it is moved
under the tile until the tile releases from the floor.
Again, dispose of the tile, and succeeding tiles, by
placing in the heavy-duty bag or closed leak-fight
container without additional breaking.
Appendix B Effective: January 30, 2008 Regulation No. 8
Page 124 Part B
hammer using blows of moderate force while
maintaining the scraper at a 25° to 30° angle to the
floor.
Continue to wet (mist) the tiles with a garden
sprayer.
Caution: Use safety goggles.
G. If some areas are encountered where even the
technique detailed in the previous paragraph proves
to be inadequate, the removal procedure can be
simplified by thoroughly heating the tile(s) with a
hot air gun until the heat penetrates through the tile
and softens the adhesive.
NOTE: Handle the hot air gun, tiles and adhesive
carefully to avoid personal burns.
NOTE: Do not handle the heated tiles and adhesive
without suitable glove protection for the hands.
H. After all the tiles have been removed from the
underlayment joints, drive a chisel, using a hammer
or a mallet, between the underlayment board and the
subfloor. Use the chisel to pry up the underlayment
enough to insert a pry bar and remove the chisel.
Slowly and carefully use pry bars to pry up the
underlayment board a little at a time until the board
is completely loose and can be removed.
I. Caution must be used to avoid breaking the
underlayment board. The underlayment board
should be removed in one piece. If the
underlayment board breaks, heat and slice the tile at
the break, then continue to remove broken
underlayment.
J. Wear heavy gloves and be very careful of wood
splinters and fasteners sticking out of the back of the
underlayment. Each underlayment board (or piece of
board) should be removed from the work area as
soon as it has been pried up to avoid injuries
30
(such as stepping on a nail). Fasteners protruding
from a removed board should be flattened with a
hammer. Place removed underlayment boards on
skids with the nails pointing downward. Wrap skid
with 6 mil polyethylene plastic sheeting and secure
with duct tape. Identify with a label stating
“Caution–Contains Asbestos. Avoid opening or
breaking container. Breathing asbestos may cause
serious bodily harm.” Dispose in an approved
landfill only.
K. After each board has been removed, pull out any
nails or fasteners still in the subfloor. Dispose of
these and any other nails or fasteners which have
been removed but are still lying in the work area.
L. A chisel is not needed to start the removal of boards
after the first board has been removed. Simply work
the pry bar under the exposed edge of the next board.
M. When removal of the underlayment/existing tile floor
is complete, thoroughly check the exposed subfloor.
Renail loose areas and reset any “popped” nails or
fasteners.
N. Vacuum up any dirt in the area using the vacuum
Regulation No. 8 Effective: January 30, 2008 Appendix B
Part B Page 125
to be removed depends on the new flooring material
which is being installed. Generally installation of Vinyl
Composition Tile requires only the wet removal of
adhesive ridges, excess adhesive, and loose adhesive
residues. (See page 26, paragraph H).
Installation of sheet flooring and specialty tiles
requiring latex, resin, or epoxy adhesives will require
that the residual asphaltic adhesive be essentially
completely removed.
I. Recommended Method for Preparing Concrete
Subfloors Coated with Cut-Back or Emulsion
Tile Adhesive.
Unless positively certain that the adhesive is a non-
asbestos product presume it contains asbestos and treat it
in the manner prescribed in the pamphlet for a cut-back
or emulsion tile adhesive containing asbestos.
A. Trowelable Underlayment
Cover the adhesive residue with trowelable
underlayment following the manufacturer’s
recommended application procedures.
(Recommended for residential use only.)
Patching compounds are not effective barriers
to material migrating from asphaltic adhesives.
B. Self-Leveling Cementitious Underlayment
Follow manufacturer’s recommendations for
use of these types of underlayments as a
covering for adhesive coated concrete.
NOTE: All warranties and recommendations
as to the suitability and performance of these
products are the responsibility of the
manufacturer of the underlayment.
C. Adhesive Removers
The Resilient Floor Covering Institute does
not recommend or approve the use of those
products. There are a number of commercial
adhesive removers on the market that will
properly remove cut-back or emulsion adhesive
residue from a subfloor; however, there are
concerns that these products may adversely
effect the new adhesive and new floor covering.
D. Wet Removal
Supplies and Tools
1. Broad stiff-bladed wall or floor scrapers, a 4-
inch wide blade with handle is recommended.
2. No. 1 sandblasting sand (clean, sharp, course
cutting sand).
32
3. Terrazzo or low-speed floor machine fitted with a
floor plate attachment (Clark Assy. 500212-6).
4. Hand-held rubbing stones.
5. Wet/dry tank-type vacuum cleaner equipped with
High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filter and
metal floor attachment (no brush).
6. Heavy-duty polyethylene bags at least 6 mil thick,
tape or ties, and labels.
7. Slip-resistant shoes or rubber heels.
8. Ground fault circuit interrupter for electrical
connection of the HEPA vacuum and any other
Appendix B Effective: January 30, 2008 Regulation No. 8
Page 126 Part B
must be continuously kept wet.
7. Occasionally push away cutting sand from the sub-
floor with a wall or floor scraper to check for
complete removal.
8. Adhesive around the edge of the room and areas that
were missed can be removed with dampened, clean,
sharp cutting sand and a hand-held rubbing stone.
9. Wet scrape sand into a pile using a stiff-bladed floor
or wall scraper and place sand and adhesive residue
in a heavy-duty impermeable container, seal with
ties or tape and label “Caution—Contains Asbestos.
Avoid opening or breaking bag or container.
Breathing asbestos may cause bodily harm.”
Dispose in an approved landfill only.
10. Rinse area with clear, clean water using the hand
sprayer. Worker boots should also be rinsed and
cleaned.
11. Wet vacuum standing water with a wet/dry vacuum
equipped with a HEPA filter and metal floor
attachment (no brush).
12. Continue steps 1 through 8 until the entire room is
complete.
13. Allow subfloor to dry and vacuum up any remaining
dirt or sand using a vacuum equipped with a HEPA
filter and metal attachment (no brush).
14. After vacuuming, used HEPA filters and cleaner
bags should be removed according to
manufacturer’s instructions and placed in a heavy-
duty impermeable trash bag or a leak-tight container
with a label stating “Caution—Contains Asbestos.
Avoid opening or breaking container. Breathing
asbestos is hazardous to your health.” Close and
seal the trash bags or container securely for disposal.
Dispose in an approved landfill only.
E. Alternate Wet Removal Method
Supplies and Tools
1. Supplies and tools listed as items 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and
10 in Section D above, as well as the following:
2. Floor machine fitted with a 3M black floor pad (or
equivalent).
3. Removal solution: “mop on, mop off, no machine
scrub,” stripping solution.
4. Water-absorbent material.
Procedure
1. Start in corner of the room farthest from the
entrance door. Put the removal solution onto the
residual
34
adhesive with a hand sprayer or mop over a 6’ x 6’
area. Put enough removal solution (“mop on, mop
off, no machine scrub,” stripping solution) on to
ensure that the area is thoroughly wet. Allow the area
to soak for 5-10 minutes. Remove the adhesive using
a floor machine equipped with a 3M black floor pad
(or equivalent). The subfloor must be continuously
kept wet.
2. Occasionally push away the adhesive slurry from the
subfloor with a wall or floor scraper to check for
Regulation No. 8 Effective: January 30, 2008 Appendix B
Part B Page 127
mended application procedures. (Recommended for
residential use only.)
B. Wood Panel Underlayment
Normally it will not be necessary to remove the old
tile when installing underlayment* over a single
layer of tile. However, if the tile must be removed,
the tackiness of the adhesive must be “dried-up”
before installing new underlayment. This can be
done by spreading a layer of powder from latex
patching compound (either type) and vacuuming up
the excess. Another method is to place a layer of
asphalt saturated pattern scribing felt or two layers
of newspaper over the tacky adhesive residue before
the underlayment is installed. If the old adhesive is
not “dried-up” before the underlayment is installed,
there is the possibility that a “cracking” sound will
be heard when the new floor is walked on, creating
an unsatisfactory condition. This occurs because the
underlayment is pressed into the tacky adhesive by
foot traffic. When the pressure is released, the
underlayment sticks momentarily and then springs
from the tacky adhesive, creating a “cracking”
noise.
C. Removal of Adhesive Coated Underlayment Panels
If removal of the existing underlayment panels is
necessary, follow the procedure outlined under
“Complete Removal of Thin Wood Underlayment
Covered with Existing Resilient Flooring” steps G-
M (page 28-31).
*See manufacturer’s recommendations for approved
underlayment types.
36
Do not sand, dry sweep, dry scrape, drill, saw,
beadblast, or mechanically chip or pulverize
existing resilient flooring, backing, lining felt or
asphaltic “cut-back” adhesives.
These products may contain either asbestos
fibers or crystalline silica.
Avoid creating dust. Inhalation of such dust is a
cancer and respiratory tract hazard.
Smoking by individuals exposed to asbestos
fibers greatly increases the risk of serious bodily
harm.
Unless positively certain that the product is a
non-asbestos containing material, you must
presume it contains asbestos. Regulations may
require that the material be tested to determine
asbestos content.
The RFCI’s Recommended Work Practices for
Removal of Resilient Floor Coverings are a defined
set of instructions which should be followed if you

RE: Limited Hazardous Material Assessment Report
212 West Mountain Avenue
Fort Collins, Colorado
Dear Mr. Schaefer:
LT Environmental, Inc. (LTE) has prepared this report for the City of Fort Collins (the City),
summarizing the findings of a limited hazardous-material assessment of select areas of the
building located at 212 West Mountain Avenue in Fort Collins, Colorado (Figure 1). The limited
hazardous materials building assessment included the following tasks:
• A limited asbestos-containing material (ACM) survey; and
• Lead-based paint (LBP) assessment.
Homogeneous materials of suspect ACMs and painted surfaces suspect for LBP were identified
and documented within specific locations of the building.
SAMPLING OBJECTIVES
LTE understands this hazardous material building assessment was requested by the City to
evaluate suspect building materials for the presence or absence of asbestos due to potential
renovation activities to be completed and/or for inventory purposes. The United States
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 61, National
Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP), prohibits the release of asbestos
fibers to the atmosphere during renovation or demolition activities. The asbestos NESHAP rule
requires that potentially regulated asbestos-containing material (RACM) be identified, classified,
and quantified prior to planned disturbance, renovation, or demolition activities.
The limited hazardous materials building assessment included collecting bulk samples to evaluate
suspect building materials for asbestos, and paint and coatings for LBP content.

SCOPE OF WORK
The asbestos survey included a visual and physical assessment of accessible materials planned
for renovation. No other areas or buildings not explicitly identified in this scope of work were
assessed for the presence or absence of asbestos.
Suspect ACM was sampled in conformance with the sampling protocols outlined in the EPA
regulation 40 CFR 763.86, Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA). Samples were
delivered to an accredited laboratory for analysis by polarized light microscopy (PLM) per EPA
methodology (EPA-600/R-93/116).
Suspect LBP was sampled in conformance with the sampling protocols outlined in the EPA
regulations 40 CFR 745 Lead-Based Paint Poisoning Prevention in Certain Residential Structures,
Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 (Title X), and other standards
developed by the EPA pursuant to Title IV Section 401 – Lead Exposure Reduction of the Toxic
Substances Control Act (TSCA). Samples were delivered to an accredited laboratory for analysis
by Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS)/Atomic Emission Spectroscopy – Inductively Coupled
Plasma – Mass Spectroscopy (AES-ICP-MS).
The assessment was conducted on March 12, 2019, by Mr. Ryan Zernis and Mr. Costin McQueen,
Colorado-certified asbestos Building Inspectors (CABI). Mr. Zernis is also a Colorado-certified
Lead-Based Paint Inspector. Copies of Mr. Zernis’ and Mr. McQueen’s state certifications and LTE
Asbestos and Lead Consultant Firm Certification are included as Attachment 1.
Site Description
This limited assessment was conducted for the roof and northern exterior portion of the building.
Visual Assessment
The asbestos survey activities began with a visual observation of the areas and locations where
renovation activities are proposed to be conducted as identified in the Unified Building Sciences,
Inc., Scope and Valuation Report, provided by the City. A visual observation was completed of the
roof and northern exterior of the building to identify functional spaces and homogeneous
materials that would be affected as part of planned renovations. Building materials and
components observed in the building consisted of stucco, caulking, sealants, and roofing
material.
Physical Assessment
A physical assessment of each suspect homogeneous ACM was conducted to assess the condition
of the material as friable or non-friable. The EPA defines friable material as one that, when dry,
can be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to a powder by hand pressure. Friability was assessed
RFP 9059 Roof Abatement Services Page 253 of 530
Schaefer, M.
Page 3
by physically touching suspect ACM. LTE classified the current condition of the suspect ACM and
the potential for damage to the suspect ACM.
ASBESTOS SAMPLE COLLECTION
Bulk samples of suspect ACM were collected in conformance with AHERA and Colorado
Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) Regulation 8 protocols. The samples
were collected using wet methods as applicable to reduce the potential for a friable release.
Samples were placed in sealable containers and labeled with unique sample identifications based
on the material’s location. The asbestos sample locations are depicted on Figure 2.
A total of 22 bulk samples of suspect ACM were collected from the following materials.
Miscellaneous Materials:
• Built-up roofing
• Roof flashing
• Sealant
• Caulking
• Stucco
The suspect ACM samples were submitted to Reservoirs Environmental, Inc. (Reservoirs) in
Denver, Colorado, an independent laboratory that has successfully participated in the National
Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program and is accredited by the American Industrial
Hygiene Association. The bulk samples were submitted under strict chain-of-custody procedures
for analysis by PLM. Visual estimation was used to obtain the percentage of asbestos present
within the bulk samples.
BULK LEAD SAMPLE COLLECTION
Bulk samples of suspect LBP were collected in conformance with CDPHE Regulation 19 protocols.
The samples were collected using wet methods as applicable to reduce the potential for a release.
Samples were placed in sealable containers and labeled with unique sample identifications based
on the material’s location. The LBP sample locations are depicted on Figure 2.
A total of two bulk samples for suspect LBP were collected from the following materials.
• Tan paint on gutter and exterior • Green paint on window
The bulk samples were submitted under strict chain-of-custody procedures to Reservoirs in
Denver, Colorado, for analysis by AAS/ICP-AES-MS.

REGULATORY OVERVIEW
Asbestos
The CDPHE Regulation 8, Hazardous Air Pollutants Control, Part B, Asbestos, and 5 Code of
Colorado Regulations (CCR) 1001-10, Part B applies, in general, to buildings, facilities, and
associated components. The CDPHE Air Pollution Control Division (APCD) is the implementing
regulatory agency for NESHAP regulations.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) asbestos standard for the
construction industry (29 CFR 1926.1101) regulates workplace exposure to asbestos. The OSHA
standard requires that employee exposure to airborne asbestos fibers be maintained below 0.1
asbestos fibers per cubic centimeter (0.1 f/cc) of air for an 8-hour day. The OSHA standard
classifies construction and maintenance activities, which could disturb ACM, and specifies work
practices and precautions, which employers must follow when engaging in each class of regulated
work.
The asbestos NESHAP rule (40 CFR Part 61) regulates asbestos fiber emissions and asbestos waste
disposal practices. It requires the identification and classification of existing building materials
prior to renovation or demolition activities. Under NESHAP, asbestos-containing building
materials are classified as either friable, Category I non-friable, or Category II non-friable ACM.
Friable materials are those that, when dry, may be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder
by hand pressure. Category I non-friable ACM includes packings, gaskets, resilient flooring
covering, and asphalt roofing products. Category II non-friable ACM are any materials other than
Category I materials that contain more than 1 percent (%) asbestos.
RACM is defined by CDPHE Regulation 8 as friable ACM and Category I and Category II non-friable
ACM that are in poor condition and have become friable or will be subjected to sanding, grinding,
cutting, or abrading. In addition, RACM includes Category II non-friable ACM that has a high
probability of becoming or has become crumbled, pulverized or reduced to powder by the forces
expected to act on the material in the course of demolition or renovation operations.
RACM must be removed prior to renovation or demolition activities. If the amount of RACM
exceeds the trigger levels of 260 linear feet (LF), 160 square feet (SF), or the volume equivalent
of one 55-gallon drum, the owner or operator must provide the CDPHE-APCD with written
notification of planned removal activities at least 10 working days prior to the commencement
of asbestos abatement activities. Removal of RACM must be conducted by a trained and
appropriately licensed asbestos abatement contractor.

Lead
Title IV of TSCA, as well as other authorities in the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction
Act of 1992, direct EPA to regulate LBP hazards. The EPA definition of LBP is paint or other surface
coatings that contain lead at concentrations equal to or exceeding 1 milligram of lead per square
centimeter (mg/cm2
) of paint or greater or paint that contains lead greater than 0.5% lead by
weight or 5,000 parts per million (ppm) by weight. In addition, the OSHA Regulation 29 CFR
1910.1025 outlines health and safety for workers who have the potential to disturb lead-
containing paint or LBP. The OSHA standard requires that employee exposure to airborne lead
be maintained below 50 micrograms per cubic meter (µg/m3
).
FINDINGS

Lead
The LBP sample locations are identified on Figure 2. Bulk samples that were collected and
submitted for laboratory analysis are identified in the lead paint chip sample descriptions with
the laboratory analytical results in Table 2. The laboratory analytical report is included as
Attachment 2.
Laboratory analytical results for suspect lead-containing materials indicated that no samples
contained lead concentrations that exceeded the laboratory reporting limit.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
• Should planned renovation activities impact identified RACM, the abatement must be
completed by a general abatement contractor (GAC). The total identified RACM to be
removed exceeds the trigger limits, a permit for the abatement must be obtained
from the CDPHE-APCD. If planned disturbance will impact less than the trigger limits,
a notice must be submitted to the CDPHE-APCD.
• If the identified RACM will remain in place, the results of this limited asbestos survey
should be incorporated into either an existing Operation and Maintenance Plan or an
Operation and Maintenance Plan should be prepared.
• No sampled or assessed materials that were identified as part of this survey, which
was limited to the northern building exterior, were determined to contain lead above
the laboratory reporting limit.
• If any additional materials not sampled as part of this survey are encountered or the
renovation scope of work expands, additional sampling must be completed, or the
material must be assumed to contain asbestos.

This report is exclusively for the use and benefit of the City of Fort Collins and is not for the use
or benefit of any person or entity. No survey can completely eliminate the uncertainty regarding
the presence of asbestos-containing materials and other hazardous materials. The level of
diligence and investigative procedures used are intended to reduce, but not eliminate potential
uncertainty regarding the presence of these materials. The procedures used for the survey
attempted to establish a balance between the competing goals of inspection cost, time, and
aesthetic damage. The determinations of this report should not be construed as a guarantee that
all such materials present in the subject property have been identified in this report. The
inspection was conducted in a manner consistent with the level of care and expertise exercised
by members of the asbestos inspection and assessment profession.

Those entities and persons involved with the inspection and generation of this report do not
imply or guarantee that all potential ACM on or in the structure have been identified or sampled.
Historically, asbestos has been added as a component to over 3,000 materials and products
produced in the United States. The inspection was intended to identify those accessible materials
that were reasonably suspect and that were most likely to contain asbestos in quantities subject
to regulation, based on existing industry and regulatory standards. Destructive investigation
activities were conducted to identify materials in previously inaccessible areas (underneath
roofing materials, etc.), using limited demolition methods. These activities created small
openings for investigation, but are limited in that full observation is not possible due to the
presence of roofing materials, etc. Informational (hazard communication) training for renovation
supervisory staff and workers and additional inspection by an accredited asbestos inspector
during renovation may assist in identifying any other hidden or concealed materials that may
exist in the building.
It is likely that suspect materials may be present within mechanical and electrical systems, and
other locations of the building not included in this survey or that were not accessible or assessed
during this limited sampling event and should be sampled before any other renovation or
demolition activities are completed, which could render suspect materials friable or be assumed
to contain asbestos.
Drawings and diagrams contained in this report are for informational purposes only, and
proportion and scales are approximate. This report is not intended to be used as a bid document.

Asbestos Containing Materials- ACM
Operations and Maintenance Plan
212 W. Mountain Avenue
The following procedures provide site specific guidance for ACM present at 212 W. Mountain
Avenue and are prepared for those occasions when work will affect these ACM. These
procedures reflect the City of Fort Collins Asbestos Management Program. This program is
designed to ensure the safety of City of Fort Collins employees who may work in the vicinity
of, or who may remove ACM as part of their job duties; to minimize these exposures and to
assist staff in meeting environmental regulatory compliance. A copy of this Operations and
Maintenance Plan must be kept at 212 W. Mountain Avenue and made available to all city
staff, contractors and subcontractors that will engage in custodial, maintenance, renovation
and deconstruction activities that have the potential to disturb ACM at the location.
Important Contact Information
In the event of an asbestos disturbance or spill, or regarding questions or concerns, please
follow this phone tree:
o Matt Zoccali, Asbestos Program Manager (APM), 970‐224‐6008 (office), 970‐556‐2556
(mobile)
o Nick Jovene, Operation Services Maintenance Scheduler/Planner, 970‐221‐
6277(mobile)
Asbestos Emergency Response
An asbestos fiber release episode can occur at any time (maintenance, renovation projects, etc)
as long as ACM is present in a building. The following steps should be taken if any evidence
of a fiber release, such as water or physically damaged ACM is encountered:
o Stop work immediately and leave the area.
o Secure the area by closing and locking doors
o Contact the APM immediately at 970‐224‐6008 or 970‐556‐2556.
o Do not re‐enter the area until the APM has given clearance.
o Never use a standard vacuum or dry method (broom/dust pan) to mitigate an asbestos
spill.

RE: Limited Asbestos Survey Report
226 West Mountain Avenue
Fort Collins, Colorado
Dear Mr. Schaefer:
LT Environmental, Inc. (LTE) has prepared this report for the City of Fort Collins (the City),
summarizing the findings of a limited asbestos survey of select areas of the building located at
226 West Mountain Avenue in Fort Collins, Colorado (Figure 1).
SAMPLING OBJECTIVES
LTE understands this limited asbestos survey was requested by the City to evaluate suspect
building materials for the presence or absence of asbestos due to potential renovation activities
to be completed and/or for inventory purposes. The United States Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 61, National Emission Standards for
Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP), prohibits the release of asbestos fibers to the atmosphere
during renovation or demolition activities. The asbestos NESHAP rule requires that potentially
regulated asbestos-containing material (RACM) be identified, classified, and quantified prior to
planned disturbance, renovation, or demolition activities.
SCOPE OF WORK
The asbestos survey included a visual and physical assessment of accessible materials planned
for renovation. No other areas or buildings not explicitly identified in this scope of work were
assessed for the presence or absence of asbestos.
Suspect ACM was sampled in conformance with the sampling protocols outlined in the EPA
regulation 40 CFR 763.86, Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA). Samples were
delivered to an accredited laboratory for analysis by polarized light microscopy (PLM) per EPA
methodology (EPA-600/R-93/116).
RFP 9059 Roof Abatement Services Page 308 of 530
Schaefer, M.
Page 2
The limited survey was conducted on March 11, 2019, by Mr. Ryan Zernis and Mr. Costin
McQueen, Colorado-certified asbestos Building Inspectors (CABI). Copies of Mr. Zernis’ and Mr.
McQueen’s state certifications and LTE Asbestos Consultant Firm Certification are included as
Attachment 1.
Site Description
This limited survey was conducted for the roof portion of the building, which included a northern
and southern portion.
Visual Assessment
The asbestos survey activities began with a visual observation of the areas and locations where
renovation activities are proposed to be conducted as identified in the Unified Building Sciences,
Inc., Scope and Valuation Report, provided by the City. A visual observation was completed of the
roof of the building to identify functional spaces and homogeneous materials that would be
affected as part of planned renovations. Building materials and components observed in the
building consisted of caulking, sealants, and roofing material.
Physical Assessment
A physical assessment of each suspect homogeneous ACM was conducted to assess the condition
of the material as friable or non-friable. The EPA defines friable material as one that, when dry,
can be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to a powder by hand pressure. Friability was assessed
by physically touching suspect ACM. LTE classified the current condition of the suspect ACM and
the potential for damage to the suspect ACM.
ASBESTOS SAMPLE COLLECTION
Bulk samples of suspect ACM were collected in conformance with AHERA and Colorado
Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) Regulation 8 protocols. The samples
were collected using wet methods as applicable to reduce the potential for a friable release.
Samples were placed in sealable containers and labeled with unique sample identifications based
on the material’s location. The asbestos sample locations are depicted on Figure 2.
A total of 18 bulk samples of suspect ACM were collected from the following materials.
Miscellaneous Materials:
• Built-up roofing
• Roof flashing
• Roof sealant
RFP 9059 Roof Abatement Services Page 309 of 530
Schaefer, M.
Page 3
The suspect ACM samples were submitted to Reservoirs Environmental, Inc. (Reservoirs) in
Denver, Colorado, an independent laboratory that has successfully participated in the National
Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program and is accredited by the American Industrial
Hygiene Association. The bulk samples were submitted under strict chain-of-custody procedures
for analysis by PLM. Visual estimation was used to obtain the percentage of asbestos present
within the bulk samples.
REGULATORY OVERVIEW
Asbestos
The CDPHE Regulation 8, Hazardous Air Pollutants Control, Part B, Asbestos, and 5 Code of
Colorado Regulations (CCR) 1001-10, Part B applies, in general, to buildings, facilities, and
associated components. The CDPHE- Air Pollution Control Division (APCD) is the implementing
regulatory agency for NESHAP regulations.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) asbestos standard for the
construction industry (29 CFR 1926.1101) regulates workplace exposure to asbestos. The OSHA
standard requires that employee exposure to airborne asbestos fibers be maintained below 0.1
asbestos fibers per cubic centimeter (0.1 f/cc) of air for an 8-hour day. The OSHA standard
classifies construction and maintenance activities, which could disturb ACM, and specifies work
practices and precautions, which employers must follow when engaging in each class of regulated
work.
The asbestos NESHAP rule (40 CFR Part 61) regulates asbestos fiber emissions and asbestos waste
disposal practices. It requires the identification and classification of existing building materials
prior to renovation or demolition activities. Under NESHAP, asbestos-containing building
materials are classified as either friable, Category I non-friable, or Category II non-friable ACM.
Friable materials are those that, when dry, may be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder
by hand pressure. Category I non-friable ACM includes packings, gaskets, resilient flooring
covering, and asphalt roofing products. Category II non-friable ACM are any materials other than
Category I materials that contain more than 1 percent (%) asbestos.
RACM is defined by CDPHE Regulation 8 as friable ACM and Category I and Category II non-friable
ACM that are in poor condition and have become friable or will be subjected to sanding, grinding,
cutting, or abrading. In addition, RACM includes Category II non-friable ACM that has a high
probability of becoming or has become crumbled, pulverized or reduced to powder by the forces
expected to act on the material in the course of demolition or renovation operations.
RACM must be removed prior to renovation or demolition activities. If the amount of RACM
exceeds the trigger levels of 260 linear feet (LF), 160 square feet (SF), or the volume equivalent
of one 55-gallon drum, the owner or operator must provide the CDPHE-APCD with written
RFP 9059 Roof Abatement Services Page 310 of 530
Schaefer, M.
Page 4
notification of planned removal activities at least 10 working days prior to the commencement
of asbestos abatement activities. Removal of RACM must be conducted by a trained and
appropriately licensed asbestos abatement contractor.
FINDINGS
Asbestos
Results of the visual and physical assessment, sample descriptions, and laboratory analytical
results are summarized in Table 1. The laboratory analytical reports are included as
Attachment 2, and photographs of ACM samples are presented as Attachment 3. Based on the
results of the laboratory analysis, the following materials were defined as RACM.

Asbestos Content: 10%
Sample IDs: 226-PS02-01 and 226-PS02-02
RECOMMENDATIONS
• Should planned renovation activities impact identified RACM, the abatement should
be completed by a general abatement contractor (GAC). The total identified RACM to
be removed does not exceed the trigger limits, and a permit for the abatement is not
required to be obtained from the CDPHE-APCD; however, a notice should be
submitted to the CDPHE-APCD.
• If the identified RACM, will remain in place, the results of this limited asbestos survey
should be incorporated into either an existing Operation and Maintenance Plan or an
Operation and Maintenance Plan should be prepared.
• If any additional materials not sampled as part of this survey are encountered or the
renovation scope of work expands, additional sampling must be completed, or the
material must be assumed to contain asbestos.
LIMITATIONS
This report is exclusively for the use and benefit of the City of Fort Collins and is not for the use
or benefit of any person or entity. No survey can completely eliminate the uncertainty regarding
the presence of asbestos-containing materials and other hazardous materials. The level of
diligence and investigative procedures used are intended to reduce, but not eliminate potential
uncertainty regarding the presence of these materials. The procedures used for the survey
attempted to establish a balance between the competing goals of inspection cost, time, and
aesthetic damage. The determinations of this report should not be construed as a guarantee that
all such materials present in the subject property have been identified in this report. The
inspection was conducted in a manner consistent with the level of care and expertise exercised
by members of the asbestos inspection and assessment profession.
Those entities and persons involved with the inspection and generation of this report do not
imply or guarantee that all potential ACM on or in the structure have been identified or sampled.
Historically, asbestos has been added as a component to over 3,000 materials and products
produced in the United States. The inspection was intended to identify those accessible materials
that were reasonably suspect and that were most likely to contain asbestos in quantities subject
to regulation, based on existing industry and regulatory standards. Destructive investigation
activities were conducted to identify materials in previously inaccessible areas (underneath
roofing materials, etc.), using limited demolition methods. These activities created small
openings for investigation, but are limited in that full observation is not possible due to the
presence of roofing materials, etc. Informational (hazard communication) training for renovation
supervisory staff and workers and additional inspection by an accredited asbestos inspector
RFP 9059 Roof Abatement Services Page 312 of 530
Schaefer, M.
Page 6
during renovation may assist in identifying any other hidden or concealed materials that may
exist in the building.
It is likely that suspect materials may be present within mechanical and electrical systems, and
other locations of the building not included in this survey or that were not accessible or assessed
during this limited sampling event and should be sampled before any other renovation or
demolition activities are completed, which could render suspect materials friable or be assumed
to contain asbestos.
Drawings and diagrams contained in this report are for informational purposes only, and
proportion and scales are approximate. This report is not intended to be used as a bid document.

RE: Limited Asbestos Survey Report
314 North Howes Street
Fort Collins, Colorado
Dear Mr. Schaefer:
LT Environmental, Inc. (LTE) has prepared this report for the City of Fort Collins (the City),
summarizing the findings of a limited asbestos survey of select areas of the building located at
314 North Howes Street in Fort Collins, Colorado (Figure 1).
SAMPLING OBJECTIVES
LTE understands this limited asbestos survey was requested by the City to evaluate suspect
building materials for the presence or absence of asbestos due to potential renovation activities
to be completed and/or for inventory purposes. The United States Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 61, National Emission Standards for
Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP), prohibits the release of asbestos fibers to the atmosphere
during renovation or demolition activities. The asbestos NESHAP rule requires that potentially
regulated asbestos-containing material (RACM) be identified, classified, and quantified prior to
planned disturbance, renovation, or demolition activities.
SCOPE OF WORK
The limited asbestos survey included a visual and physical assessment of accessible materials
planned for renovation. No other areas or buildings not explicitly identified in this scope of work
were assessed for the presence or absence of asbestos.
Suspect ACM was sampled in conformance with the sampling protocols outlined in the EPA
regulation 40 CFR 763.86, Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA). Samples were
delivered to an accredited laboratory for analysis by polarized light microscopy (PLM) per EPA
methodology (EPA-600/R-93/116).
RFP 9059 Roof Abatement Services Page 334 of 530
Schaefer, M.
Page 2
The survey was conducted on March 11, 2019, by Mr. Ryan Zernis and Mr. Costin McQueen,
Colorado-certified asbestos Building Inspectors (CABI). Copies of Mr. Zernis’ and Mr. McQueen’s
state certifications and LTE Asbestos Consultant Firm Certification are included as Attachment 1.
Site Description
This limited survey was conducted for the roof portion of the building, which included three
separate sections of roof.
Visual Assessment
The limited asbestos survey activities began with a visual observation of the areas and locations
where renovation activities are proposed to be conducted as identified in the Unified Building
Sciences, Inc., Scope and Valuation Report, provided by the City. A visual observation was
completed of the roof of the building to identify functional spaces and homogeneous materials
that would be affected as part of planned renovations. Building materials and components
observed in the building consisted of caulking, sealants, and roofing material.
Physical Assessment
A physical assessment of each suspect homogeneous ACM was conducted to assess the condition
of the material as friable or non-friable. The EPA defines friable material as one that, when dry,
can be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to a powder by hand pressure. Friability was assessed
by physically touching suspect ACM. LTE classified the current condition of the suspect ACM and
the potential for damage to the suspect ACM.
ASBESTOS SAMPLE COLLECTION
Bulk samples of suspect ACM were collected in conformance with AHERA and Colorado
Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) Regulation 8 protocols. The samples
were collected using wet methods as applicable to reduce the potential for a friable release.
Samples were placed in sealable containers and labeled with unique sample identifications based
on the material’s location. The asbestos sample locations are depicted on Figure 2.
A total of 21 bulk samples of suspect ACM were collected from the following materials.
Miscellaneous Materials:
• Shingles
• Felt underlayment
• Roof flashing
• Roof sealant
• Roof caulking
RFP 9059 Roof Abatement Services Page 335 of 530
Schaefer, M.
Page 3
The suspect ACM samples were submitted to Reservoirs Environmental, Inc. (Reservoirs) in
Denver, Colorado, an independent laboratory that has successfully participated in the National
Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program and is accredited by the American Industrial
Hygiene Association. The bulk samples were submitted under strict chain-of-custody procedures
for analysis by PLM. Visual estimation was used to obtain the percentage of asbestos present
within the bulk samples.
REGULATORY OVERVIEW
Asbestos
The CDPHE Regulation 8, Hazardous Air Pollutants Control, Part B, Asbestos, and 5 Code of
Colorado Regulations (CCR) 1001-10, Part B applies, in general, to buildings, facilities, and
associated components. The CDPHE Air Pollution Control Division (APCD) is the implementing
regulatory agency for NESHAP regulations.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) asbestos standard for the
construction industry (29 CFR 1926.1101) regulates workplace exposure to asbestos. The OSHA
standard requires that employee exposure to airborne asbestos fibers be maintained below 0.1
asbestos fibers per cubic centimeter (0.1 f/cc) of air for an 8-hour day. The OSHA standard
classifies construction and maintenance activities, which could disturb ACM, and specifies work
practices and precautions, which employers must follow when engaging in each class of regulated
work.
The asbestos NESHAP rule (40 CFR Part 61) regulates asbestos fiber emissions and asbestos waste
disposal practices. It requires the identification and classification of existing building materials
prior to renovation or demolition activities. Under NESHAP, asbestos-containing building
materials are classified as either friable, Category I non-friable, or Category II non-friable ACM.
Friable materials are those that, when dry, may be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder
by hand pressure. Category I non-friable ACM includes packings, gaskets, resilient flooring
covering, and asphalt roofing products. Category II non-friable ACM are any materials other than
Category I materials that contain more than 1 percent (%) asbestos.
RACM is defined by CDPHE Regulation 8 as friable ACM and Category I and Category II non-friable
ACM that are in poor condition and have become friable or will be subjected to sanding, grinding,
cutting, or abrading. In addition, RACM includes Category II non-friable ACM that has a high
probability of becoming or has become crumbled, pulverized or reduced to powder by the forces
expected to act on the material in the course of demolition or renovation operations.
RACM must be removed prior to renovation or demolition activities. If the amount of RACM
exceeds the trigger levels of 260 linear feet (LF), 160 square feet (SF), or the volume equivalent
of one 55-gallon drum, the owner or operator must provide the CDPHE-APCD with written
RFP 9059 Roof Abatement Services Page 336 of 530
Schaefer, M.
Page 4
notification of planned removal activities at least 10 working days prior to the commencement
of asbestos abatement activities. Removal of RACM must be conducted by a trained and
appropriately licensed asbestos abatement contractor.
FINDINGS
Asbestos
Results of the visual and physical assessment, sample descriptions, and laboratory analytical
results are summarized in Table 1. The laboratory analytical reports are included as
Attachment 2, and photographs of ACM samples are presented as Attachment 3. Based on the
results of the laboratory analysis, the following material was defined as RACM.
• Black roofing caulking:
Material Type (Surfacing, TSI, Miscellaneous): Miscellaneous
Location of Material: Metal middle roof section on pipe jacks on north east corner.
Approximate Quantity: 30 LF
Friable/Non-Friable: Friable
Condition (Good, Damaged, Significantly Damaged): Damaged
Potential for Damage (Low, Moderate, High): Moderate
Asbestos Content: 10%
Sample IDs: 314-PS01-01 through 314-PS01-03
RECOMMENDATIONS
• Should planned renovation activities impact identified RACM, the abatement should
be completed by a general abatement contractor (GAC). The total identified RACM to
be removed does not exceed the trigger limits, and a permit for the abatement is not
required to be obtained from the CDPHE-APCD; however, a notice should be
submitted to the CDPHE-APCD.
• If the identified RACM will remain in place, the results of this limited asbestos survey
should be incorporated into either an existing Operation and Maintenance Plan or an
Operation and Maintenance Plan should be prepared.
• If any additional materials not sampled as part of this survey are encountered or the
renovation scope of work expands, additional sampling must be completed. If
renovation will occur in other parts of the building additional sampling must be
completed, or the suspect building material must be assumed to be asbestos.

LIMITATIONS
This report is exclusively for the use and benefit of the City of Fort Collins and is not for the use
or benefit of any person or entity. No survey can completely eliminate the uncertainty regarding
the presence of asbestos-containing materials and other hazardous materials. The level of
diligence and investigative procedures used are intended to reduce, but not eliminate potential
uncertainty regarding the presence of these materials. The procedures used for the survey
attempted to establish a balance between the competing goals of inspection cost, time, and
aesthetic damage. The determinations of this report should not be construed as a guarantee that
all such materials present in the subject property have been identified in this report. The
inspection was conducted in a manner consistent with the level of care and expertise exercised
by members of the asbestos inspection and assessment profession.
Those entities and persons involved with the inspection and generation of this report do not
imply or guarantee that all potential ACM on or in the structure have been identified or sampled.
Historically, asbestos has been added as a component to over 3,000 materials and products
produced in the United States. The inspection was intended to identify those accessible materials
that were reasonably suspect and that were most likely to contain asbestos in quantities subject
to regulation, based on existing industry and regulatory standards. Destructive investigation
activities were conducted to identify materials in previously inaccessible areas (underneath
roofing materials, etc.), using limited demolition methods. These activities created small
openings for investigation, but are limited in that full observation is not possible due to the
presence of roofing materials, etc. Informational (hazard communication) training for renovation
supervisory staff and workers and additional inspection by an accredited asbestos inspector
during renovation may assist in identifying any other hidden or concealed materials that may
exist in the building.
It is likely that suspect materials may be present within mechanical and electrical systems, and
other locations of the building not included in this survey or that were not accessible or assessed
during this limited sampling event and should be sampled before any other renovation or
demolition activities are completed, which could render suspect materials friable or be assumed
to contain asbestos.
Drawings and diagrams contained in this report are for informational purposes only, and
proportion and scales are approximate. This report is not intended to be used as a bid document.

RE: Limited Hazardous Material Assessment Report
518 North Loomis Avenue
Fort Collins, Colorado
Dear Mr. Schaefer:
LT Environmental, Inc. (LTE) has prepared this report for the City of Fort Collins (the City),
summarizing the findings of a limited hazardous-material assessment of select areas of the
buildings located at 518 North Loomis Avenue in Fort Collins, Colorado (Figure 1). The limited
hazardous materials building assessment included the following tasks:
• A limited asbestos-containing material (ACM) survey; and
• Lead-based paint (LBP) assessment.
Homogeneous materials of suspect ACMs and painted surfaces suspect for LBP were identified
and documented within specific locations of the building.
SAMPLING OBJECTIVES
LTE understands this hazardous material building assessment was requested by the City to
evaluate suspect building materials for the presence or absence of asbestos due to potential
renovation activities to be completed and/or for inventory purposes. The United States
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 61, National
Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP), prohibits the release of asbestos
fibers to the atmosphere during renovation or demolition activities. The asbestos NESHAP rule
requires that potentially regulated asbestos-containing material (RACM) be identified, classified,
and quantified prior to planned disturbance, renovation, or demolition activities.
The limited hazardous materials building assessment included collecting bulk samples to evaluate
suspect building materials for asbestos, and paint and coatings for LBP content.

SCOPE OF WORK
The asbestos survey included a visual and physical assessment of accessible materials planned
for renovation. No other areas or buildings not explicitly identified in this scope of work were
assessed for the presence or absence of asbestos.
Suspect ACM was sampled in conformance with the sampling protocols outlined in the EPA
regulation 40 CFR 763.86, Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA). Samples were
delivered to an accredited laboratory for analysis by polarized light microscopy (PLM) per EPA
methodology (EPA-600/R-93/116).
Suspect LBP was sampled in conformance with the sampling protocols outlined in the EPA
regulations 40 CFR 745 Lead-Based Paint Poisoning Prevention in Certain Residential Structures,
Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 (Title X), and other standards
developed by the EPA pursuant to Title IV Section 401 – Lead Exposure Reduction of the Toxic
Substances Control Act (TSCA). Samples were delivered to an accredited laboratory for analysis
by Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS)/Atomic Emission Spectroscopy – Inductively Coupled
Plasma – Mass Spectroscopy (AES-ICP-MS).
The assessment was conducted on March 18, 2019, by Mr. Ryan Zernis, a Colorado-certified
asbestos Building Inspector (CABI). Mr. Zernis is also a Colorado-certified Lead-Based Paint
Inspector. Copies of Mr. Zernis’ state certifications and LTE Asbestos and Lead Consultant Firm
Certification are included as Attachment 1.
Site Description
This limited assessment was conducted for the roof and exterior portions of the identified
buildings.
Visual Assessment
The asbestos survey activities began with a visual observation of the areas and locations where
renovation activities are proposed to be conducted as identified in the Unified Building Sciences,
Inc., Scope and Valuation Report, provided by the City. A visual observation was completed of the
roof and exterior portions of the buildings to identify functional spaces and homogeneous
materials that would be affected as part of planned renovations. Building materials and
components observed in the buildings consisted of painted concrete siding, painted concrete
masonry unit (CUM) and sealant, caulking, sealants, and roofing material.
Physical Assessment
A physical assessment of each suspect homogeneous ACM was conducted to assess the condition
of the material as friable or non-friable. The EPA defines friable material as one that, when dry,
RFP 9059 Roof Abatement Services Page 360 of 530
Schaefer, M.
Page 3
can be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to a powder by hand pressure. Friability was assessed
by physically touching suspect ACM. LTE classified the current condition of the suspect ACM and
the potential for damage to the suspect ACM.
ASBESTOS SAMPLE COLLECTION
Bulk samples of suspect ACM were collected in conformance with AHERA and Colorado
Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) Regulation 8 protocols. The samples
were collected using wet methods as applicable to reduce the potential for a friable release.
Samples were placed in sealable containers and labeled with unique sample identifications based
on the material’s location. The asbestos sample locations are depicted on Figure 2.
A total of 30 bulk samples of suspect ACM were collected from the following materials.
Miscellaneous Materials:
• Roofing sealant • Caulking
Surfacing Materials:
• Concrete sealant • CMU sealant
The suspect ACM samples were submitted to Reservoirs Environmental, Inc. (Reservoirs) in
Denver, Colorado, an independent laboratory that has successfully participated in the National
Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program and is accredited by the American Industrial
Hygiene Association. The bulk samples were submitted under strict chain-of-custody procedures
for analysis by PLM. Visual estimation was used to obtain the percentage of asbestos present
within the bulk samples.
BULK LEAD SAMPLE COLLECTION
Bulk samples of suspect LBP were collected in conformance with CDPHE Regulation 19 protocols.
The samples were collected using wet methods as applicable to reduce the potential for a release.
Samples were placed in sealable containers and labeled with unique sample identifications based
on the material’s location. The LBP sample locations are depicted on Figure 2.
A total of one bulk sample for suspect LBP was collected from the following material.
• Tan paint on exterior
The bulk samples were submitted under strict chain-of-custody procedures to Reservoirs in
Denver, Colorado, for analysis by AAS/ICP-AES-MS.

REGULATORY OVERVIEW
Asbestos
The CDPHE Regulation 8, Hazardous Air Pollutants Control, Part B, Asbestos, and 5 Code of
Colorado Regulations (CCR) 1001-10, Part B applies, in general, to buildings, facilities, and
associated components. The CDPHE Air Pollution Control Division (APCD) is the implementing
regulatory agency for NESHAP regulations.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) asbestos standard for the
construction industry (29 CFR 1926.1101) regulates workplace exposure to asbestos. The OSHA
standard requires that employee exposure to airborne asbestos fibers be maintained below 0.1
asbestos fibers per cubic centimeter (0.1 f/cc) of air for an 8-hour day. The OSHA standard
classifies construction and maintenance activities, which could disturb ACM, and specifies work
practices and precautions, which employers must follow when engaging in each class of regulated
work.
The asbestos NESHAP rule (40 CFR Part 61) regulates asbestos fiber emissions and asbestos waste
disposal practices. It requires the identification and classification of existing building materials
prior to renovation or demolition activities. Under NESHAP, asbestos-containing building
materials are classified as either friable, Category I non-friable, or Category II non-friable ACM.
Friable materials are those that, when dry, may be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder
by hand pressure. Category I non-friable ACM includes packings, gaskets, resilient flooring
covering, and asphalt roofing products. Category II non-friable ACM are any materials other than
Category I materials that contain more than 1 percent (%) asbestos.
RACM is defined by CDPHE Regulation 8 as friable ACM and Category I and Category II non-friable
ACM that are in poor condition and have become friable or will be subjected to sanding, grinding,
cutting, or abrading. In addition, RACM includes Category II non-friable ACM that has a high
probability of becoming or has become crumbled, pulverized or reduced to powder by the forces
expected to act on the material in the course of demolition or renovation operations.
RACM must be removed prior to renovation or demolition activities. If the amount of RACM
exceeds the trigger levels of 260 linear feet (LF), 160 square feet (SF), or the volume equivalent
of one 55-gallon drum, the owner or operator must provide the CDPHE-APCD with written
notification of planned removal activities at least 10 working days prior to the commencement
of asbestos abatement activities. Removal of RACM must be conducted by a trained and
appropriately licensed asbestos abatement contractor.

Lead
Title IV of TSCA, as well as other authorities in the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction
Act of 1992, direct EPA to regulate LBP hazards. The EPA definition of LBP is paint or other surface
coatings that contain lead at concentrations equal to or exceeding 1 milligram of lead per square
centimeter (mg/cm2
) of paint or greater or paint that contains lead greater than 0.5% lead by
weight or 5,000 parts per million (ppm) by weight. In addition, the OSHA Regulation 29 CFR
1910.1025 outlines health and safety for workers who have the potential to disturb lead-
containing paint or LBP. The OSHA standard requires that employee exposure to airborne lead
be maintained below 50 micrograms per cubic meter (µg/m3
).

The LBP sample location is identified on Figure 2. The bulk sample that was collected and
submitted for laboratory analysis is identified in the lead paint chip sample descriptions with the
laboratory analytical results in Table 2. The laboratory analytical report is included as
Attachment 2.
Laboratory analytical results for suspect lead-containing materials indicated that no samples
contained lead concentrations that exceeded the laboratory reporting limit.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
• Should planned renovation activities impact identified RACM, the abatement must be
completed by a general abatement contractor (GAC). The total identified RACM to be
removed exceeds the trigger limits, a permit for the abatement must be obtained
from the CDPHE-APCD. If planned disturbance will impact less than the trigger limits,
a notice must be submitted to the CDPHE-APCD.
• If the identified RACM will remain in place, the results of this limited asbestos survey
should be incorporated into either an existing Operation and Maintenance Plan or an
Operation and Maintenance Plan should be prepared.

• No sampled or assessed materials that were identified as part of this survey, which
was limited to the building exterior, were determined to contain lead above the
laboratory reporting limit.
• If any additional materials not sampled as part of this survey are encountered or the
renovation scope of work expands, additional sampling must be completed or must
be assumed to be asbestos.
LIMITATIONS
This report is exclusively for the use and benefit of the City of Fort Collins and is not for the use
or benefit of any person or entity. No survey can completely eliminate the uncertainty regarding
the presence of asbestos-containing materials and other hazardous materials. The level of
diligence and investigative procedures used are intended to reduce, but not eliminate potential
uncertainty regarding the presence of these materials. The procedures used for the survey
attempted to establish a balance between the competing goals of inspection cost, time, and
aesthetic damage. The determinations of this report should not be construed as a guarantee that
all such materials present in the subject property have been identified in this report. The
inspection was conducted in a manner consistent with the level of care and expertise exercised
by members of the asbestos inspection and assessment profession.
Those entities and persons involved with the inspection and generation of this report do not
imply or guarantee that all potential ACM on or in the structure have been identified or sampled.
Historically, asbestos has been added as a component to over 3,000 materials and products
produced in the United States. The inspection was intended to identify those accessible materials
that were reasonably suspect and that were most likely to contain asbestos in quantities subject
to regulation, based on existing industry and regulatory standards. Destructive investigation
activities were conducted to identify materials in previously inaccessible areas (underneath
roofing materials, etc.), using limited demolition methods. These activities created small
openings for investigation, but are limited in that full observation is not possible due to the
presence of roofing materials, etc. Informational (hazard communication) training for renovation
supervisory staff and workers and additional inspection by an accredited asbestos inspector
during renovation may assist in identifying any other hidden or concealed materials that may
exist in the building.
It is likely that suspect materials may be present within mechanical and electrical systems, and
other locations of the building not included in this survey or that were not accessible or assessed
during this limited sampling event and should be sampled before any other renovation or
demolition activities are completed, which could render suspect materials friable or be assumed
to contain asbestos.

RE: Limited Hazardous Material Assessment Report
812 North Shields Street
Fort Collins, Colorado
Dear Mr. Schaefer:
LT Environmental, Inc. (LTE) has prepared this report for the City of Fort Collins (the City),
summarizing the findings of a limited hazardous-material assessment of select areas of the
building located at 812 North Shields Street in Fort Collins, Colorado (Figure 1). The limited
hazardous materials building assessment included the following tasks:
• A limited asbestos-containing material (ACM) survey; and
• Lead-based paint (LBP) assessment.
Homogeneous materials of suspect ACMs and painted surfaces suspect for LBP were identified
and documented within specific locations of the building.
SAMPLING OBJECTIVES
LTE understands this limited hazardous material building assessment was requested by the City
to evaluate suspect building materials for the presence or absence of asbestos due to potential
renovation activities to be completed and/or for inventory purposes. The United States
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 61, National
Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP), prohibits the release of asbestos
fibers to the atmosphere during renovation or demolition activities. The asbestos NESHAP rule
requires that potentially regulated asbestos-containing material (RACM) be identified, classified,
and quantified prior to planned disturbance, renovation, or demolition activities.
The limited hazardous materials building assessment included collecting bulk samples to evaluate
suspect building materials for asbestos, and paint and coatings for LBP content.
RFP 9059 Roof Abatement Services Page 397 of 530
Schaefer, M.

SCOPE OF WORK
The asbestos survey included a visual and physical assessment of accessible materials planned
for renovation. No other areas or buildings not explicitly identified in this scope of work were
assessed for the presence or absence of asbestos.
Suspect ACM was sampled in conformance with the sampling protocols outlined in the EPA
regulation 40 CFR 763.86, Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA). Samples were
delivered to an accredited laboratory for analysis by polarized light microscopy (PLM) per EPA
methodology (EPA-600/R-93/116).
Suspect LBP was sampled in conformance with the sampling protocols outlined in the EPA
regulations 40 CFR 745 Lead-Based Paint Poisoning Prevention in Certain Residential Structures,
Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 (Title X), and other standards
developed by the EPA pursuant to Title IV Section 401 – Lead Exposure Reduction of the Toxic
Substances Control Act (TSCA). Samples were delivered to an accredited laboratory for analysis
by Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS)/Atomic Emission Spectroscopy – Inductively Coupled
Plasma – Mass Spectroscopy (AES-ICP-MS).
The assessment was conducted on March 27, 2019, by Mr. Ryan Zernis, a Colorado-certified
asbestos Building Inspector (CABI). Mr. Zernis is also a Colorado-certified Lead-Based Paint
Inspector. Copies of Mr. Zernis’ state certifications and LTE Asbestos and Lead Consultant Firm
Certification are included as Attachment 1.
Site Description
This limited assessment was conducted for the roof and exterior portions of the building.
Visual Assessment
The asbestos survey activities began with a visual observation of the areas and locations where
renovation activities are proposed to be conducted as identified in the Unified Building Sciences,
Inc., Scope and Valuation Report, provided by the City. A visual observation was completed of the
roof and northern exterior of the building to identify functional spaces and homogeneous
materials that would be affected as part of planned renovations. Building materials and
components observed in the building consisted of window glazing, sealants, and roofing material.
Physical Assessment
A physical assessment of each suspect homogeneous ACM was conducted to assess the condition
of the material as friable or non-friable. The EPA defines friable material as one that, when dry,
can be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to a powder by hand pressure. Friability was assessed
RFP 9059 Roof Abatement Services Page 398 of 530
Schaefer, M.
Page 3
by physically touching suspect ACM. LTE classified the current condition of the suspect ACM and
the potential for damage to the suspect ACM.
ASBESTOS SAMPLE COLLECTION
Bulk samples of suspect ACM were collected in conformance with AHERA and Colorado
Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) Regulation 8 protocols. The samples
were collected using wet methods as applicable to reduce the potential for a friable release.
Samples were placed in sealable containers and labeled with unique sample identifications based
on the material’s location. The asbestos sample locations are depicted on Figure 2.
A total of 10 bulk samples of suspect ACM were collected from the following materials.
Miscellaneous Materials:
• Window glazing
• Shingles
• Felt underlayment
• Roof sealant
The suspect ACM samples were submitted to Reservoirs Environmental, Inc. (Reservoirs) in
Denver, Colorado, an independent laboratory that has successfully participated in the National
Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program and is accredited by the American Industrial
Hygiene Association. The bulk samples were submitted under strict chain-of-custody procedures
for analysis by PLM. Visual estimation was used to obtain the percentage of asbestos present
within the bulk samples.
BULK LEAD SAMPLE COLLECTION
Bulk samples of suspect LBP were collected in conformance with CDPHE Regulation 19 protocols.
The samples were collected using wet methods as applicable to reduce the potential for a release.
Samples were placed in sealable containers and labeled with unique sample identifications based
on the material’s location. The LBP sample locations are depicted on Figure 2.
A total of two bulk samples for suspect LBP were collected from the following materials.
• White painted windows and exterior siding
• Tan / brown painted windows
The bulk samples were submitted under strict chain-of-custody procedures to Reservoirs in
Denver, Colorado, for analysis by AAS/ICP-AES-MS.

REGULATORY OVERVIEW
Asbestos
The CDPHE Regulation 8, Hazardous Air Pollutants Control, Part B, Asbestos, and 5 Code of
Colorado Regulations (CCR) 1001-10, Part B applies, in general, to buildings, facilities, and
associated components. The CDPHE Air Pollution Control Division (APCD) is the implementing
regulatory agency for NESHAP regulations.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) asbestos standard for the
construction industry (29 CFR 1926.1101) regulates workplace exposure to asbestos. The OSHA
standard requires that employee exposure to airborne asbestos fibers be maintained below 0.1
asbestos fibers per cubic centimeter (0.1 f/cc) of air for an 8-hour day. The OSHA standard
classifies construction and maintenance activities, which could disturb ACM, and specifies work
practices and precautions, which employers must follow when engaging in each class of regulated
work.
The asbestos NESHAP rule (40 CFR Part 61) regulates asbestos fiber emissions and asbestos waste
disposal practices. It requires the identification and classification of existing building materials
prior to renovation or demolition activities. Under NESHAP, asbestos-containing building
materials are classified as either friable, Category I non-friable, or Category II non-friable ACM.
Friable materials are those that, when dry, may be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder
by hand pressure. Category I non-friable ACM includes packings, gaskets, resilient flooring
covering, and asphalt roofing products. Category II non-friable ACM are any materials other than
Category I materials that contain more than 1 percent (%) asbestos.
RACM is defined by CDPHE Regulation 8 as friable ACM and Category I and Category II non-friable
ACM that are in poor condition and have become friable or will be subjected to sanding, grinding,
cutting, or abrading. In addition, RACM includes Category II non-friable ACM that has a high
probability of becoming or has become crumbled, pulverized or reduced to powder by the forces
expected to act on the material in the course of demolition or renovation operations.
RACM must be removed prior to renovation or demolition activities. If the amount of RACM
exceeds the trigger levels of 260 linear feet (LF), 160 square feet (SF), or the volume equivalent
of one 55-gallon drum, the owner or operator must provide the CDPHE-APCD with written
notification of planned removal activities at least 10 working days prior to the commencement
of asbestos abatement activities. Removal of RACM must be conducted by a trained and
appropriately licensed asbestos abatement contractor.

Lead
Title IV of TSCA, as well as other authorities in the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction
Act of 1992, direct EPA to regulate LBP hazards. The EPA definition of LBP is paint or other surface
coatings that contain lead at concentrations equal to or exceeding 1 milligram of lead per square
centimeter (mg/cm2
) of paint or greater or paint that contains lead greater than 0.5% lead by
weight or 5,000 parts per million (ppm) by weight. In addition, the OSHA Regulation 29 CFR
1910.1025 outlines health and safety for workers who have the potential to disturb lead-
containing paint or LBP. The OSHA standard requires that employee exposure to airborne lead
be maintained below 50 micrograms per cubic meter (µg/m3
).
FINDINGS

The asbestos sample locations are identified on Figure 2. Results of the visual and physical
assessment, sample descriptions, and laboratory analytical results are summarized in Table 1.
The laboratory analytical reports are included as Attachment 2, and photographs of ACM samples
are presented as Attachment 3. Based on the results of the laboratory analysis, the following
materials were defined as RACM.

Lead
The LBP sample location is identified on Figure 2. The bulk sample that was collected and
submitted for laboratory analysis is identified in the lead paint chip sample descriptions with the
laboratory analytical results in Table 2. The laboratory analytical report is included as
Attachment 2.
Laboratory analytical results for suspect lead-containing materials indicated that no samples
contained lead concentrations that exceeded the regulatory limit; however, suspect lead samples
812-LBP01 and 812-LBP02 contained lead in concentrations that were greater than the
laboratory reporting limit at concentrations at 0.020% and 0.010%, respectively.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
• Should planned renovation activities impact identified RACM, the abatement must be
completed by a general abatement contractor (GAC). The total identified RACM to be
removed does not exceed the trigger limits, a permit for the abatement is not required
to be obtained from the CDPHE-APCD; however, a notice should be submitted to the
CDPHE-APCD.
• If the identified RACM will remain in place, the results of this limited asbestos survey
should be incorporated into either an existing Operation and Maintenance Plan or an
Operation and Maintenance Plan should be prepared.
• No sampled or assessed materials that were identified as part of this assessment,
which was limited to the building exterior, were determined to contain lead above the
regulatory reporting limit.
• If any additional materials not sampled as part of this assessment are encountered or
the renovation scope of work expands, additional sampling must be completed, or the
material must be assumed to contain asbestos.
LIMITATIONS
This report is exclusively for the use and benefit of the City of Fort Collins and is not for the use
or benefit of any person or entity. No assessment can completely eliminate the uncertainty
regarding the presence of asbestos-containing materials and other hazardous materials. The level
of diligence and investigative procedures used are intended to reduce, but not eliminate
potential uncertainty regarding the presence of these materials. The procedures used for the
assessment attempted to establish a balance between the competing goals of inspection cost,
time, and aesthetic damage. The determinations of this report should not be construed as a
guarantee that all such materials present in the subject property have been identified in this
report. The inspection was conducted in a manner consistent with the level of care and expertise
exercised by members of the asbestos inspection and assessment profession.
RFP 9059 Roof Abatement Services Page 402 of 530
Schaefer, M.
Page 7
Those entities and persons involved with the inspection and generation of this report do not
imply or guarantee that all potential ACM on or in the structure have been identified or sampled.
Historically, asbestos has been added as a component to over 3,000 materials and products
produced in the United States. The inspection was intended to identify those accessible materials
that were reasonably suspect and that were most likely to contain asbestos in quantities subject
to regulation, based on existing industry and regulatory standards. Destructive investigation
activities were conducted to identify materials in previously inaccessible areas (underneath
roofing materials, etc.), using limited demolition methods. These activities created small
openings for investigation, but are limited in that full observation is not possible due to the
presence of roofing materials, etc. Informational (hazard communication) training for renovation
supervisory staff and workers and additional inspection by an accredited asbestos inspector
during renovation may assist in identifying any other hidden or concealed materials that may
exist in the building.
It is likely that suspect materials may be present within mechanical and electrical systems, and
other locations of the building not included in this assessment or that were not accessible or
assessed during this limited sampling event and should be sampled before any other renovation
or demolition activities are completed, which could render suspect materials friable or be
assumed to contain asbestos.
Drawings and diagrams contained in this report are for informational purposes only, and
proportion and scales are approximate. This report is not intended to be used as a bid document.

RE: Limited Hazardous Material Assessment Report
906 West Vine Drive
Fort Collins, Colorado
Dear Mr. Schaefer:
LT Environmental, Inc. (LTE) has prepared this report for the City of Fort Collins (the City),
summarizing the findings of a limited hazardous-material assessment of select areas of the
building located at 906 West Vine Drive in Fort Collins, Colorado (Figure 1). The limited hazardous
materials building assessment included the following tasks:
• A limited asbestos-containing material (ACM) survey; and
• Lead-based paint (LBP) assessment.
Homogeneous materials of suspect ACMs and painted surfaces suspect for LBP were identified
and documented within specific locations of the building.
SAMPLING OBJECTIVES
LTE understands this hazardous material building assessment was requested by the City to
evaluate suspect building materials for the presence or absence of asbestos due to potential
renovation activities to be completed and/or for inventory purposes. The United States
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 61, National
Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP), prohibits the release of asbestos
fibers to the atmosphere during renovation or demolition activities. The asbestos NESHAP rule
requires that potentially regulated asbestos-containing material (RACM) be identified, classified,
and quantified prior to planned disturbance, renovation, or demolition activities.
The hazardous materials building assessment included collecting bulk samples to evaluate
suspect buildings materials for asbestos, and paint and coatings for LBP content.
RFP 9059 Roof Abatement Services Page 430 of 530
Schaefer, M.

SCOPE OF WORK
The asbestos survey included a visual and physical assessment of accessible materials planned
for renovation. No other areas or buildings not explicitly identified in this scope of work were
assessed for the presence or absence of asbestos.
Suspect ACM was sampled in conformance with the sampling protocols outlined in the EPA
regulation 40 CFR 763.86, Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA). Samples were
delivered to an accredited laboratory for analysis by polarized light microscopy (PLM) per EPA
methodology (EPA-600/R-93/116).
Suspect LBP was sampled in conformance with the sampling protocols outlined in the EPA
regulations 40 CFR 745 Lead-Based Paint Poisoning Prevention in Certain Residential Structures,
Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 (Title X), and other standards
developed by the EPA pursuant to Title IV Section 401 – Lead Exposure Reduction of the Toxic
Substances Control Act (TSCA). Samples were delivered to an accredited laboratory for analysis
by Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS)/Atomic Emission Spectroscopy – Inductively Coupled
Plasma – Mass Spectroscopy (AES-ICP-MS).
The assessment was conducted on March 18, 2019, by Mr. Ryan Zernis, a Colorado-certified
asbestos Building Inspector (CABI). Mr. Zernis is also a Colorado-certified Lead-Based Paint
Inspector. Copies of Mr. Zernis’ state certifications and LTE Asbestos and Lead Consultant Firm
Certification are included as Attachment 1.
Site Description
This limited assessment was conducted for the roof and exterior portions of the building.
Visual Assessment
The asbestos survey activities began with a visual observation of the areas and locations where
renovation activities are proposed to be conducted as identified in the Unified Building Sciences,
Inc., Scope and Valuation Report, provided by the City. A visual observation was completed of the
roof and northern exterior of the building to identify functional spaces and homogeneous
materials that would be affected as part of planned renovations. Building materials and
components observed in the building consisted of caulking, sealants, and roofing material.
Physical Assessment
A physical assessment of each suspect homogeneous ACM was conducted to assess the condition
of the material as friable or non-friable. The EPA defines friable material as one that, when dry,
can be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to a powder by hand pressure. Friability was assessed
RFP 9059 Roof Abatement Services Page 431 of 530
Schaefer, M.
Page 3
by physically touching suspect ACM. LTE classified the current condition of the suspect ACM and
the potential for damage to the suspect ACM.
ASBESTOS SAMPLE COLLECTION
Bulk samples of suspect ACM were collected in conformance with AHERA and Colorado
Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) Regulation 8 protocols. The samples
were collected using wet methods as applicable to reduce the potential for a friable release.
Samples were placed in sealable containers and labeled with unique sample identifications based
on the material’s location. The asbestos sample locations are depicted on Figure 2.
A total of 12 bulk samples of suspect ACM were collected from the following materials.
Miscellaneous Materials:
• Shingles
• Felt underlayment
• Roof sealant
The suspect ACM samples were submitted to Reservoirs Environmental, Inc. (Reservoirs) in
Denver, Colorado, an independent laboratory that has successfully participated in the National
Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program and is accredited by the American Industrial
Hygiene Association. The bulk samples were submitted under strict chain-of-custody procedures
for analysis by PLM. Visual estimation was used to obtain the percentage of asbestos present
within the bulk samples.
BULK LEAD SAMPLE COLLECTION
Bulk samples of suspect LBP were collected in conformance with CDPHE Regulation 19 protocols.
The samples were collected using wet methods as applicable to reduce the potential for a release.
Samples were placed in sealable containers and labeled with unique sample identifications based
on the material’s location. The LBP sample locations are depicted on Figure 2.
A total of two bulk samples for suspect LBP were collected from the following materials.
• White painted exterior siding
• Tan / brown painted gutters
The bulk samples were submitted under strict chain-of-custody procedures to Reservoirs in
Denver, Colorado, for analysis by AAS/ICP-AES-MS.

REGULATORY OVERVIEW
Asbestos
The CDPHE Regulation 8, Hazardous Air Pollutants Control, Part B, Asbestos, and 5 Code of
Colorado Regulations (CCR) 1001-10, Part B applies, in general, to buildings, facilities, and
associated components. The CDPHE Air Pollution Control Division (APCD) is the implementing
regulatory agency for NESHAP regulations.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) asbestos standard for the
construction industry (29 CFR 1926.1101) regulates workplace exposure to asbestos. The OSHA
standard requires that employee exposure to airborne asbestos fibers be maintained below 0.1
asbestos fibers per cubic centimeter (0.1 f/cc) of air for an 8-hour day. The OSHA standard
classifies construction and maintenance activities, which could disturb ACM, and specifies work
practices and precautions, which employers must follow when engaging in each class of regulated
work.
The asbestos NESHAP rule (40 CFR Part 61) regulates asbestos fiber emissions and asbestos waste
disposal practices. It requires the identification and classification of existing building materials
prior to renovation or demolition activities. Under NESHAP, asbestos-containing building
materials are classified as either friable, Category I non-friable, or Category II non-friable ACM.
Friable materials are those that, when dry, may be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder
by hand pressure. Category I non-friable ACM includes packings, gaskets, resilient flooring
covering, and asphalt roofing products. Category II non-friable ACM are any materials other than
Category I materials that contain more than 1 percent (%) asbestos.
RACM is defined by CDPHE Regulation 8 as friable ACM and Category I and Category II non-friable
ACM that are in poor condition and have become friable or will be subjected to sanding, grinding,
cutting, or abrading. In addition, RACM includes Category II non-friable ACM that has a high
probability of becoming or has become crumbled, pulverized or reduced to powder by the forces
expected to act on the material in the course of demolition or renovation operations.
RACM must be removed prior to renovation or demolition activities. If the amount of RACM
exceeds the trigger levels of 260 linear feet (LF), 160 square feet (SF), or the volume equivalent
of one 55-gallon drum, the owner or operator must provide the CDPHE-APCD with written
notification of planned removal activities at least 10 working days prior to the commencement
of asbestos abatement activities. Removal of RACM must be conducted by a trained and
appropriately licensed asbestos abatement contractor.

Schaefer, M.

Lead
Title IV of TSCA, as well as other authorities in the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction
Act of 1992, direct EPA to regulate LBP hazards. The EPA definition of LBP is paint or other surface
coatings that contain lead at concentrations equal to or exceeding 1 milligram of lead per square
centimeter (mg/cm2
) of paint or greater or paint that contains lead greater than 0.5% lead by
weight or 5,000 parts per million (ppm) by weight. In addition, the OSHA Regulation 29 CFR
1910.1025 outlines health and safety for workers who have the potential to disturb lead-
containing paint or LBP. The OSHA standard requires that employee exposure to airborne lead
be maintained below 50 micrograms per cubic meter (µg/m3
).

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
• Should planned renovation activities impact identified RACM, the abatement should
be completed by a general abatement contractor (GAC). The total identified RACM
does not exceed the trigger limits, and a permit for the abatement is not required to
be obtained from the CDPHE-APCD; however, a notice should be submitted to the
CDPHE-APCD.
• If the identified RACM will remain in place, the results of this limited asbestos survey
should be incorporated into either an existing Operation and Maintenance Plan or an
Operation and Maintenance Plan should be prepared.
• No sampled or assessed materials that were identified as part of this survey, which
was limited to the building exterior, were determined to contain lead above the
regulatory reporting limit.
• If any additional materials not sampled as part of this survey are encountered or the
renovation scope of work expands, additional sampling must be completed or
assumed to be asbestos.
LIMITATIONS
This report is exclusively for the use and benefit of the City of Fort Collins and is not for the use
or benefit of any person or entity. No survey can completely eliminate the uncertainty regarding
the presence of asbestos-containing materials and other hazardous materials. The level of
diligence and investigative procedures used are intended to reduce, but not eliminate potential
uncertainty regarding the presence of these materials. The procedures used for the survey
attempted to establish a balance between the competing goals of inspection cost, time, and
aesthetic damage. The determinations of this report should not be construed as a guarantee that
all such materials present in the subject property have been identified in this report. The
inspection was conducted in a manner consistent with the level of care and expertise exercised
by members of the asbestos inspection and assessment profession.
Those entities and persons involved with the inspection and generation of this report do not
imply or guarantee that all potential ACM on or in the structure have been identified or sampled.
Historically, asbestos has been added as a component to over 3,000 materials and products
produced in the United States. The inspection was intended to identify those accessible materials
that were reasonably suspect and that were most likely to contain asbestos in quantities subject
to regulation, based on existing industry and regulatory standards. Destructive investigation
activities were conducted to identify materials in previously inaccessible areas (underneath
roofing materials, etc.), using limited demolition methods. These activities created small
openings for investigation, but are limited in that full observation is not possible due to the
presence of roofing materials, etc. Informational (hazard communication) training for renovation
RFP 9059 Roof Abatement Services Page 435 of 530
Schaefer, M.
Page 7
supervisory staff and workers and additional inspection by an accredited asbestos inspector
during renovation may assist in identifying any other hidden or concealed materials that may
exist in the building.
It is likely that suspect materials may be present within mechanical and electrical systems, and
other locations of the building not included in this survey or that were not accessible or assessed
during this limited sampling event and should be sampled before any other renovation or
demolition activities are completed, which could render suspect materials friable or be assumed
to contain asbestos.
Drawings and diagrams contained in this report are for informational purposes only, and
proportion and scales are approximate. This report is not intended to be used as a bid document.

RE: Limited Asbestos Survey Report
4316 Laporte Avenue
Fort Collins, Colorado
Dear Mr. Schaefer:
LT Environmental, Inc. (LTE) has prepared this report for the City of Fort Collins (the City),
summarizing the findings of a limited asbestos survey of select areas of the buildings located at
4316 Laporte Avenue in Fort Collins, Colorado (Figure 1).
SAMPLING OBJECTIVES
LTE understands this limited asbestos survey was requested by the City to evaluate suspect
building materials for the presence or absence of asbestos due to potential renovation activities
to be completed and/or for inventory purposes. The United States Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 61, National Emission Standards for
Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP), prohibits the release of asbestos fibers to the atmosphere
during renovation or demolition activities. The asbestos NESHAP rule requires that potentially
regulated asbestos-containing material (RACM) be identified, classified, and quantified prior to
planned disturbance, renovation, or demolition activities.
SCOPE OF WORK
The limited asbestos survey included a visual and physical assessment of accessible materials
planned for renovation. No other areas or buildings not explicitly identified in this scope of work
were assessed for the presence or absence of asbestos.
Suspect ACM was sampled in conformance with the sampling protocols outlined in the EPA
regulation 40 CFR 763.86, Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA). Samples were
delivered to an accredited laboratory for analysis by polarized light microscopy (PLM) per EPA
methodology (EPA-600/R-93/116).
RFP 9059 Roof Abatement Services Page 464 of 530
Schaefer, M.
Page 2
The assessment was conducted on March 27, 2019, by Mr. Ryan Zernis, a Colorado-certified
asbestos Building Inspector (CABI). Copies of Mr. Zernis’ state certifications and LTE Asbestos
Consultant Firm Certification are included as Attachment 1.
Site Description
This limited survey was conducted for the roof portion of the buildings, which included a northern
and southern portion of filter bays, T3 section, conference room roof, SOS building, SOS shed,
and main building east shed.
Visual Assessment
The asbestos survey activities began with a visual observation of the areas and locations where
renovation activities are proposed to be conducted as identified in the Unified Building Sciences,
Inc., Scope and Valuation Report, provided by the City. A visual observation was completed of the
roof of the buildings to identify functional spaces and homogeneous materials that would be
affected as part of planned renovations. Building materials and components observed in the
buildings consisted of caulking, sealants, and roofing material.
Physical Assessment
A physical assessment of each suspect homogeneous ACM was conducted to assess the condition
of the material as friable or non-friable. The EPA defines friable material as one that, when dry,
can be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to a powder by hand pressure. Friability was assessed
by physically touching suspect ACM. LTE classified the current condition of the suspect ACM and
the potential for damage to the suspect ACM.
ASBESTOS SAMPLE COLLECTION
Bulk samples of suspect ACM were collected in conformance with AHERA and Colorado
Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) Regulation 8 protocols. The samples
were collected using wet methods as applicable to reduce the potential for a friable release.
Samples were placed in sealable containers and labeled with unique sample identifications based
on the material’s location. The asbestos sample locations are depicted on Figure 2.
A total of 18 bulk samples of suspect ACM were collected from the following materials.
Miscellaneous Materials:
• Built-up roofing
• Roof flashing
• Roof sealant
RFP 9059 Roof Abatement Services Page 465 of 530
Schaefer, M.
Page 3
The suspect ACM samples were submitted to Reservoirs Environmental, Inc. (Reservoirs) in
Denver, Colorado, an independent laboratory that has successfully participated in the National
Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program and is accredited by the American Industrial
Hygiene Association. The bulk samples were submitted under strict chain-of-custody procedures
for analysis by PLM. Visual estimation was used to obtain the percentage of asbestos present
within the bulk samples.
REGULATORY OVERVIEW
Asbestos
The CDPHE Regulation 8, Hazardous Air Pollutants Control, Part B, Asbestos, and 5 Code of
Colorado Regulations (CCR) 1001-10, Part B applies, in general, to buildings, facilities, and
associated components. The CDPHE Air Pollution Control Division (APCD) is the implementing
regulatory agency for NESHAP regulations.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) asbestos standard for the
construction industry (29 CFR 1926.1101) regulates workplace exposure to asbestos. The OSHA
standard requires that employee exposure to airborne asbestos fibers be maintained below 0.1
asbestos fibers per cubic centimeter (0.1 f/cc) of air for an 8-hour day. The OSHA standard
classifies construction and maintenance activities, which could disturb ACM, and specifies work
practices and precautions, which employers must follow when engaging in each class of regulated
work.
The asbestos NESHAP rule (40 CFR Part 61) regulates asbestos fiber emissions and asbestos waste
disposal practices. It requires the identification and classification of existing building materials
prior to renovation or demolition activities. Under NESHAP, asbestos-containing building
materials are classified as either friable, Category I non-friable, or Category II non-friable ACM.
Friable materials are those that, when dry, may be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder
by hand pressure. Category I non-friable ACM includes packings, gaskets, resilient flooring
covering, and asphalt roofing products. Category II non-friable ACM are any materials other than
Category I materials that contain more than 1 percent (%) asbestos.
RACM is defined by CDPHE Regulation 8 as friable ACM and Category I and Category II non-friable
ACM that are in poor condition and have become friable or will be subjected to sanding, grinding,
cutting, or abrading. In addition, RACM includes Category II non-friable ACM that has a high
probability of becoming or has become crumbled, pulverized or reduced to powder by the forces
expected to act on the material in the course of demolition or renovation operations.
RACM must be removed prior to renovation or demolition activities. If the amount of RACM
exceeds the trigger levels of 260 linear feet (LF), 160 square feet (SF), or the volume equivalent
of one 55-gallon drum, the owner or operator must provide the CDPHE-APCD with written
RFP 9059 Roof Abatement Services Page 466 of 530
Schaefer, M.
Page 4
notification of planned removal activities at least 10 working days prior to the commencement
of asbestos abatement activities. Removal of RACM must be conducted by a trained and
appropriately licensed asbestos abatement contractor.
FINDINGS
Asbestos
The asbestos sample locations are identified on Figure 2. Results of the visual and physical
assessment, sample descriptions, and laboratory analytical results are summarized in Table 1.
The laboratory analytical reports are included as Attachment 2, and photographs of ACM samples
are presented as Attachment 3. Based on the results of the laboratory analysis, the following
materials were defined as RACM.
• White membrane roof covering a built-up roof:
Material Type (Surfacing, TSI, Miscellaneous): Miscellaneous
Location of Material: T3 building
Approximate Quantity: 11,600 SF
Friable/Non-Friable: Friable
Condition (Good, Damaged, Significantly Damaged): Damaged
Potential for Damage (Low, Moderate, High): Moderate
Asbestos Content: 35%
Sample IDs: 4316 T3-BR01-01 through 4316 T3-BR01-03
RECOMMENDATIONS
• Should planned renovation activities impact identified RACM, the abatement must be
completed by a general abatement contractor (GAC). The total identified RACM
exceeds the trigger limits, a permit for the abatement must be obtained from the
CDPHE-APCD. If planned disturbance will impact less than the trigger limits, a notice
should be submitted to the CDPHE-APCD.
• If the identified RACM, will remain in place, the results of this limited asbestos survey
should be incorporated into either an existing Operation and Maintenance Plan or an
Operation and Maintenance Plan should be prepared.
• If any additional materials not sampled as part of this survey are encountered or the
renovation scope of work expands, additional sampling must be completed or
assumed to be asbestos.

LIMITATIONS
This report is exclusively for the use and benefit of the City of Fort Collins and is not for the use
or benefit of any person or entity. No survey can completely eliminate the uncertainty regarding
the presence of asbestos-containing materials and other hazardous materials. The level of
diligence and investigative procedures used are intended to reduce, but not eliminate potential
uncertainty regarding the presence of these materials. The procedures used for the survey
attempted to establish a balance between the competing goals of inspection cost, time, and
aesthetic damage. The determinations of this report should not be construed as a guarantee that
all such materials present in the subject property have been identified in this report. The
inspection was conducted in a manner consistent with the level of care and expertise exercised
by members of the asbestos inspection and assessment profession.
Those entities and persons involved with the inspection and generation of this report do not
imply or guarantee that all potential ACM on or in the structure have been identified or sampled.
Historically, asbestos has been added as a component to over 3,000 materials and products
produced in the United States. The inspection was intended to identify those accessible materials
that were reasonably suspect and that were most likely to contain asbestos in quantities subject
to regulation, based on existing industry and regulatory standards. Destructive investigation
activities were conducted to identify materials in previously inaccessible areas (underneath
roofing materials, etc.), using limited demolition methods. These activities created small
openings for investigation, but are limited in that full observation is not possible due to the
presence of roofing materials, etc. Informational (hazard communication) training for renovation
supervisory staff and workers and additional inspection by an accredited asbestos inspector
during renovation may assist in identifying any other hidden or concealed materials that may
exist in the building.
It is likely that suspect materials may be present within mechanical and electrical systems, and
other locations of the building not included in this survey or that were not accessible or assessed
during this limited sampling event and should be sampled before any other renovation or
demolition activities are completed, which could render suspect materials friable or be assumed
to contain asbestos.
Drawings and diagrams contained in this report are for informational purposes only, and
proportion and scales are approximate. This report is not intended to be used as a bid document.

Definitions
Sustainable Purchasing is a process for selecting products or services that have a lesser
or reduced negative effect on human health and the environment when compared with
competing products or services that serve the same purpose. This process is also known
as “Environmentally Preferable Purchasing” (EPP), or “Green Purchasing”.
The Triple Bottom Line (TBL) is an accounting framework that incorporates three
dimensions of performance: economic, or financial; environmental, and social. The
RFP 9059 Roof Abatement Services Page 499 of 530
generally accepted definition for TBL is that it “captures the essence of sustainability by
measuring the impact of an organization’s activities on the world…including both its
profitability and shareholders values and its social, human, and environmental capital.”

electrical connections required.
9. Garden sprayer.
10. A liquid dishwashing detergent which is stated to
contain anionic, nonionic, and amphoteric
surfactants. The detergent should be mixed with
water to make a dilute solution (1 oz. of liquid in one
gallon of water).
Procedure
1. Start in the corner of the room farthest from the
entrance door and moisten an area of the adhesive
approximately 3’ x 10’ with water mixed with liquid
dishwashing detergent (to aid in wetting the
adhesive). Wet scrape with a stiff-bladed wall or
floor scraper removing ridges and any loose
adhesives, until only a thin smooth film remains.
2. Place loosened adhesive residues into a heavy-duty
impermeable trash bag or other impermeable
container and seal with ties, tape or string and label
“Caution—Contains Asbestos. Avoid opening or
breaking bag or container. Breathing asbestos may
cause bodily harm.” Dispose in an approved landfill
only.
3. Wet vacuum standing water with HEPA wet/dry
vacuum.
4. Continue steps 1 through 3 until entire area is wet
scraped.
5. Place cutting sand into a container (enough to cover
an approximate 6’ x 6’ area), add water mixed with
liquid detergent (1 oz. of the specified detergent [See
#10 above] to one gallon of water) to the sand to
dampen (20 lbs. of sand to ½ gallon of solution).
6. Place sand over a 6’ x 6’ area and wet remove the
existing adhesive residue using a terrazzo floor
machine. Keep sand under rubbing stones when
operating the machine. The sand and the subfloor

floor attachment (no brush).
O. After the underlayment is completely removed,
install the new underlayment and/or floor covering
according to the manufacturer’s installation
instructions.
Warning Regarding Complete Adhesive Removal:
Some Solvent Based “Cut-Back” Asphaltic
Adhesives May Contain Asbestos Fibers That Are
Not Readily Identifiable. Do Not Use Power
Devices Which Create Asbestos Dust in Removing
These Adhesives. The Inhalation of Asbestos Dust
May Cause Asbestosis or Other Serious Bodily
Harm. Smoking Greatly Increases the Risk of
Serious Bodily Harm.
PREPARATION OF ADHESIVE
COATED SUBFLOORS
The removal of latex based adhesives commonly
used with vinyl sheet floors and some tiles can be
accomplished by wetting the adhesive residue (which will
soften the adhesive) and scraping. Do not use an excessive
amount of water which can damage wood subfloors.
The degree to which residual asphalt adhesive has

F. Some tiles will release quite easily while others
require varying degrees of force. Where the adhesive
is spread heavily or is quite hard, it may prove easier
to force the scraper through the tightly adhered areas
by striking the scraper handle with a

“Caution—Contains Asbestos. Avoid opening or
breaking container. Breathing asbestos is hazardous
to your health.” Dispose in an approved landfill only.
Close and seal the trash bags securely for disposal.
27
RFP 9059 Roof Abatement Services Page 237 of 530
Caution: Use safety goggles.
G. If some areas are encountered where even the
technique detailed in the previous paragraph proves
to be inadequate, the removal procedure can be
simplified by thoroughly heating the tile(s) with a hot
air blower or a radiant heat source until the heat
penetrates through the tile and softens the adhesive.

OSHA Requirements
In August 1994, OSHA published standards which affect
some of the operations described in this booklet. OSHA
has determine that “intact” resilient floor covering
materials can be removed under a “negative exposure
assessment” in compliance with the revised standards by
appropriately trained Workers using the Recommended
Work Practices.
“Intact” is defined to mean that the asbestos-
containing material has not crumbled, been
pulverized or otherwise deteriorated so that it is no
longer likely to be bound to its matrix. The
incidental breakage of flooring materials, or slicing
of sheet vinyl floor covering with a sharp edged
instrument, during removal operations conducted in
accordance with the Recommended Work Practices
does not mean that the materials are not removed in
an “intact” condition. OSHA has recognized that
resilient floor covering materials are considered non-
friable if intact and generally do not emit airborne
fibers unless subjected to sanding, sawing, or other
aggressive operations.
Installers of resilient floor covering materials that
plan to use the Recommended Work Practices
outlined in this book to remove intact and nonfriable
