It is your responsibility to be in compliance with the State. Please contact the State directly for their requirements at the contact info listed below. When is asbestos testing required? ANY building projects disturbing more than these threshold levels of building materials require asbestos testing: One- and Two-Family Dwellings: 32 square feet All Others (commercial spaces, hotel rooms, etc): 160 square feet Definition of a single-family dwelling: any dwelling unit that is used primarily for a single family, including multi- family/condominium units, and fractional fee units. Tests which identify POSITIVE results at more than 1°/o require abatement by a State-certified abatement contractor. Project Checklist My project falls into the category checked below: � Will not disturb more than the threshold limits identified above. � Tested negative, or at 1°/o or below(1 copies of test results included) � Tested positive at more than 1°/o, requires abatement(1 copies of test results included) Tips & Facts: • Even recent construction projects may include asbestos-containing materials, so buildings of�age require testing. • The "1989 Ban" on asbestos-containing materials is commonly misunderstood. "In fact, in 1991 the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals vacated much of the so-called "Asbestos Ban and Phaseout" rule and remanded it to the EPA. Thus, much of the original 1989 EPA ban on the U.S. manufacturing, importation, processing, or distribution in com- merce of many asbestos-containing product categories was set aside and did not take effect."- CDPHE State of Colorado Contact: Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment Asbestos Compliance Assistance Group 303-692-3158 asbestos@state.co.us www.cd phe.state.co.us 2013-Feb 1 P.O.

The survey was conducted on February 25, 2014. The survey was conducted for the purpose of establishing an understanding of any major asbestos issues in the building prior to conducting a full AHERA-designed survey. This included the major building materials which have the potential to significantly impact remodeling or renovation of the building. The sampling conducted on February 25, 2014 was limited to the mechanical room(s), breezeways, ceiling/subfloors within the breezeways, and a representative apartment unit. The materials sampled as part of the asbestos survey included: • Spray-on fire proofing • Drywall systems • TSI pipe fittings • Joint sealant in-between slab and elevator core An AHERA trained inspector, Mr. Jim Stout performed the inspection and sampling. Samples were collected using the EPA random sampling protocol outlined in the EPA publication, "Asbestos in Buildings: Simplified Sampling Scheme for Friable Surfacing Materials" ("Pink Book", EPA 560/5-85-030a, October, 1985). The survey methods, results, and limitations are provided below. SITE DESCRIPTION The property is developed for dual use with retail stores on the lower level and apartment units on the upper floors. The mechanical rooms are located in the basement. The building is concrete and steel beam construction with eXterior cinder block walls and steel sheet metal eves. Limited Asbestos Survey Page 2 of 5 The interiors of the residential units and mechanical rooms are finished with textured dr�vall systems with wood and steel doors at the access points. SURVEY METHODOLOGY Befare commencing the survey, the inspector discussed the survey approach with the GE Johnson representative including; the need for unrestricted access and construction related information such as building age and prior construction activities. The survey consisted of two major activities; visual inspection and sampling of building materials. Although these activities are listed separately, they are integrated tasks. VisualInspection An initial building walkthrough was conducted to determine the presence and condition of suspect materials that were accessible and/or exposed. Materials that were similar in general appearance were grouped into homogeneous sampling areas. The survey was limited to the mechanical room(s), breezeways, ceiling/subfloors within the breezeways, and a representative apartment unit. Laboratorv Samples were tested by Reservoirs Environmental Laboratory, Denver, CO who is accredited through a program by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), National voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP). INSPECTION RESULTS The following suspect building materials and locations were identified during the site walk- through and were sampled as part of the survey: • Mechanical & Electrical Room (drywall joint compound and TSI piping -pipe joints) • Breezeways Floors 2 throu�h_6 (Joint Sealant in-between deck slab and elevator core block and steel beam fire proofing) • Unit Balcony Soffit (white drywall systems) The following materials were not sampled: roofing materials, mirror mastics, ductwork mastics, window glaze, and insulation. A total of sixteen (16) samples were collected from the site (see Table 1). The laboratory analyzed layers of each sample, if present. According to the laboratory analysis of the materials sampled, asbestos was detected in several of the sam�les collected. Lunited Asbestos Survey Page 3 of 5 Table 1.

TR denotes trace ai�nounts of asbestos detected. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS According to the laboratory, asbestos was detected in the samples collected and submitted for analysis. Specifically; Asbestos was detected above 1 percent in the following materials: • Floor caulking in the breezeways (floors 2 through 6)—Friable Materials • Steel beam fire proofing in the breezeway ceiling/subfloor (floars 2 through 6) —Friable Material • Drywall joint compound in the apartment balcony (floors 2 through 6) —Friable Material • Drywall joint compound in the boiler room—Friable Material Asbestos was detected at less than 1 percent (trace) in the following materials: • TSI elbow in the Mechanical Room(pipe joints) • Drywall joint compound in the boiler room—Friable Material Asbestos was not detected in the following materials: • Blue drywall surfacing and joint compound in the mechanical room Liinited Asbestos Survey Page 4 of 5 As detailed above, asbestos containing materials were identified in several of the major building systems. Namely, the drywall surfacing materials located in the apartment units and the spray-on fire proofing applied to the steel support beams on each floor. Both materials were determined by the inspector to be friable asbestos containing materials. Given the extent of asbestos containing materials discovered during the initial survey and the friable nature of asbestos containing materials, JS Environmental recommends the following: 1. Conduct a full AHERA-Designed Asbestos Survey for the entire complex including the interior apartments and the commercial units. 2. Once the full extent of asbestos containing materials is determined, develop an Asbestos Operation and Maintenance Plan for the complex. LIMITATIONS The survey is considered a limited asbestos survey because it did not include comprehensive sampling of interior and exterior building materials or inaccessible building materials. Materials that were not sampled were excluded by design. It should be noted that some asbestos- containing materials (ACM's) might not be accurately identified and/or quantified by polarized light microscopy (PLM). As a result, these fibers could go undetected under the standard PLM method. Any materials that will be disturbed in the future and have not been tested for asbestos content should be assumed to contain asbestos and treated accordingly or should be tested prior to disturbance.
