Should you have any questions or comments regarding this report, please do not hesitate to call HERRON® Enterprises USA, Inc. Sincerely, Julie Lucas Administrative Assistant HERRON® Enterprises USA, Inc. Certified Asbestos Building Inspector(s): Julie Lucas (Administrative Assistant), and Dillon D. Carson Assumptions, and Limitations This Environmental Consultation is applicable in whole, not in part, to the entire contents of the document. HERRON® and this Environmental Consultation make no representation or assumptions as to past and/or future conditions/occurrences of the specific area(s) inspected. The results, conclusions and/or recommendations expressed in this Environmental Consultation are based solely on the conditions which were observed at the time of this Environmental Consultation. HERRON®’s inspection incorporated non-destructive sampling techniques and visual inspections in areas which were visible/accessible. Conditions and/or materials which were not inspected and/or commented on may very well differ from those which were inspected and/or commented on. HERRON® selected sample locations and frequency of sampling based on observations, your requirements and/or the assumption that like materials in the same area are homogeneous. HERRON® has specifically designed this Environmental Consultation for Client use in the location and identity of Asbestos Containing Material (ACM), and under no circumstances is this Environmental Consultation to be copied, used as a bidding tool and/or used for the development of an Asbestos Abatement Specification document without the express written permission of an executive officer of HERRON®. HERRON® is not responsible/liable for any opinions, conclusions and/or recommendations as provided by others based on any means presented in this Environmental Consultation. With use of Environmental Consultation, and/or use of any services offered by HERRON®, Client(s) agrees that HERRON® has been given the authority by the Owner(s) of a property to enter the aforementioned premises, perform the services, utilize any and all floor plans, blue prints, etc., and agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, and defend HERRON®, its Officers, Employees, Assigns, etc. for any and all claims, costs or damages that may result from services contracted, etc. HERRON® Enterprises USA, Inc.

Hampden Ave., Lakewood, Colorado 80227-5305 HERRON® Project No. 0710126 Limited Asbestos Building Inspection Page No. - 3 July 12, 2012 Recommendations The Client has advised that ‘Single Family Residential Dwelling’, 1st Floor Bathroom, Unit #2, 1817 Meadow Ridge Rd., Vail, CO 81657 is a renovation. As Regulated Asbestos Containing Materials were not discovered during this inspection, further action is not required. Should a renovation or demolition occur which would affect materials that were not homogeneous to the materials which were inspected and determined negative for Asbestos, HERRON® would recommend as a minimum Plan of Action: 1. Comprehensive Asbestos Building Inspection: a continuous process in areas which may not have been accessible, or for materials which may have been concealed in previous inspections, may be required, i.e., review and usage of previous Asbestos Inspection(s), identification of suspect materials, friable and non-friable, approximate quantities (ACM), discovery sampling in areas which will be affected by the renovation/demolition in order to determine the presence of Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM), etc. Conclusion Based on the information generated by this report, we conclude that the aforementioned property does not contain Regulated Asbestos Containing Material(s) (RACM), in accordance with local, state, and/or federal regulations. In order to comply with local, state, and/or federal regulations, the following RACM, or assumed RACM will have to be removed if they will be affected by the renovation: 1. None detected.

OSHA regulations may apply during potential disturbance activities, and the inspection document will serve as a Hazard Communication and should be reviewed during an activity such as a renovation or demolition, to ensure that an exposure does not occur. The Maximum Allowable Asbestos Level (MAAL) may not be exceeded at ‘any’ time in accordance with local, state, and/or federal regulations, including but not limited to AQCC Regulation 8 (State), 29 CFR 1926.1101 (OSHA), 40 CFR Part 61 HERRON® Enterprises USA, Inc.

This document serves as a certified notification to the owner/operator of the facility and the demolition contractor that any asbestos-containing material allowed to stay in the facility must remain non-friable during demolition. All building material field information concerning sampling protocols, locations, assessments, etc. is available in our files for Client use should the need arise. Suspect materials which were sampled and determined to contain <=1.0% Asbestos (refer to Attachments), by PLM and/or PLM Point Count analysis are: White Drywall/Joint Compound Walls, Surfacing Material (S), <1,000 SF, Good Condition (Current Condition), Non- Friable, throughout Bathroom, 3 Sample(s), 071012-1A, S Wall, 5’ from E Wall, 5’ from Floor 071012-1B, E Wall, 2’ from S Wall, 5’ from Floor 071012-1C, SE Corner, 5’ from Floor White 4x4” Ceramic Tile and Adhesive, Miscellaneous Material (M), <160 SF, Good Condition (Current Condition), Non-Friable, throughout Bathroom Shower Walls, 1 Sample(s), 071012-2A, E Wall, 4’ from N Wall, 5’ from Floor White 3x6” Ceramic Tile and Adhesive, Miscellaneous Material (M), <160 SF, Good Condition (Current Condition), Non-Friable, throughout Bathroom Floor, 1 Sample(s), 071012-3A, at Door Suspect materials which were not within the Scope of Work at the time of the inspection were: 1. ‘All’ EPA suspect Materials not requested: a. Limited to locations of the submitted instructions and/or renovation/demolition plans, only. Any locations/materials not specifically identified are assumed to be a Regulated Asbestos Containing Material, and should be inspected prior to any activity which may disturb the materials; i. Refer to materials identified in the report; 1. White Drywall/Joint Compound Walls, throughout Bathroom 2. White 4x4” Ceramic Tile and Adhesive, throughout Bathroom Shower Walls 3. White 3x6” Ceramic Tile and Adhesive, throughout Bathroom Floor a. Ceiling is excluded from the inspection 2. ‘Any’ confirmed or suspect ACM which may have been concealed at the time of the inspection. 3. During a normal inspection, and more specifically when non-destructive sampling techniques are employed, it is not within the scope of the inspection to remove surface materials to inspect the structures and/or materials which may be under the surface, i.e., within or under concealed areas such as under carpet, under sub-floors, within chases, walls, crawlspaces, tunnels, etc., to remove suspect Asbestos Containing Material(s), to move and/or sample electrical wiring which has not been 'locked out', etc. All said areas are to be assumed as containing >1.0% Asbestos, until such a time that these areas are made accessible, and/or rendered safe so that sampling can be performed. 4. HERRON® recommends extreme caution during a renovation or demolition of these areas in the event that an area which was not suspect, visible, accessible and/or specified during the inspection, is discovered to contain or is suspected of containing an Asbestos Containing Material (ACM). Under local, state and/or federal regulations, should such an event occur, the Client and or Contractor is required to cease operations which may effect this (these) HERRON® Enterprises USA, Inc.

It was expressly advised that although this is a Limited Asbestos Building Inspection, it is comprehensive to the aforementioned materials. Only materials impacted requiring response actions have been instructed and authorized by the Client. Under the protocol of limited sampling whereas not ‘all’ suspect materials outside of the response action areas were sampled, under local, state and/or federal regulations, including but not limited to AQCC Regulation 8 and OSHA 29 CFR 1926.1101, a certain protocol for sampling, number of samples obtained, and assessment is required. 6. Disturbance of these areas could create a potential health hazard. Suspect materials which were visually inspected and determined to be Non-ACM materials at the time of the inspection were: Fiberglass Wood Glass Metal Plastic Concrete Etc. Inspection Methodology: HERRON® selected sample locations and frequency of sampling based on observations, Client requirements and/or the assumption that like materials in the same area are homogeneous in accordance with EPA Publication EPA 560 / 5-85 - 030a ‘Asbestos in Buildings: Simplified Sampling Scheme’. Sample locations and frequency of sampling of Walls and Ceilings are based on EPA 9/30/94 EPA Sampling Bulletin - ASBESTOS SAMPLING BULLETIN September 30, 1994 - Supplementary Guidance on Bulk Sample Collection and Analysis. Section V of this guidance bulletin offers a suggested strategy for distinguishing between joint compound found at joints in wallboard systems or when the material was applied as a skim coat; i.e., for determining whether “joint compound” has been applied as a “skim coat” over a wall surface (as referred to in the NESHAP Jan. 5, 1994 FR notice.).
