Re: Limited Asbestos Inspection at 4238 Nugget Lane in Vail, Colorado.
FEI Project No. (AS14039)
Mr. Rookey,
On March 13, 2014 Foothills Environmental Inc. (FEI) conducted a limited asbestos inspection of
suspect building materials located in a single family residence located at 4238 Nugget Lane in vail,
Colorado. At your request the inspection was limited to suspect materials that would be impacted
by proposed renovation activities. Mr. Lyle Ardourel, an asbestos inspector certified by the
Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment, conducted the limited asbestos inspection.
Aerobiology Laboratory Associates Inc. an independent laboratory accredited by the National
Voluntary Accreditation Program (NVLAP) and the American Industrial Hygiene Association
(AIHA)analyzed the samples utilizing Polarized Light Microscopy(PLM).
An ACM is defined by the EPA as a material with an asbestos content of greater than one percent
(1%) by area. Select bulk samples of suspect interior building materials were collected from areas
that could be impacted by renovation activities. Suspect materials sampled included drywall,
drywall joint compound, drywall textures and concrete block coating. Other suspect materials may
be present in other areas of the residence but were not sampled as part of this limited inspection.
Other suspect materials located in the other areas of the building should be presumed to be asbestos
containing until sampling and analysis proves otherwise.
All accessible suspect asbestos materials that would be impacted by the planned renovation
activities were inspected for ACM. All sampled suspect materials were intact and in good
condition at the time of inspection. FEI did not inspect outside of the proposed scope of work,
underground conduit, electrical panels instruments or other appurtenances.
DESCRIPTION
The facility is a split level single family residence. The date of original construction is unknown
but estimated to be circa 1970s. The bull nose drywall corners and skip trowel texturing in select
areas of the residence is evidence of a recent renovation.

CONCLUSIONS and RECOMMENDED ACTIONS
Removal, in accordance with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment's
(CDPHE) Regulation No. 8, is required of material with an asbestos content of greater than one
percent (1%) by volume that are friable or will be made friable during renovation or demolition
activities. Friable means that the material, when dry may be crumbled, pulverized, br reduced to
powder by hand pressure.
The National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) regulations set forth by
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency control asbestos emissions from renovation and
demolition activities.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Construction Asbestos Standard 29
CFR 1926.1101 contains work practice and engineering control requirements and prohibitions that
must be observed regardless of the percentage of asbestos in the installed construction materials.
The standard also has exposure-bascd requirements consisting of a 0.01 fiber/ cc 8 hour Time
Weighted Average (TWA) Personal Exposure Limit (PEL) and a 1 fiber/ cc 30-minute excursion
�,, limit.

OSHA-asbestos definition. The one percent cut off is consistent with the definition of an Asbestos �'
containing Material (ACM) under the asbestos National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NESHAP). However, the OSHA standard has a definition for both "asbestos" and '
"asbestos-containing materials." The definition of asbestos does not have a one percent cut off,
therefore, asbestos that is present in percentages less than one percent continues to be covered by
the OSHA standard, 29 CFR 1926.1101. Work operations conducted in areas where the asbestos or
asbestos product is below one percent is an "unclassified" operation. The employer still must
follow the requirements in paragraphs (g)(1) [except (g)(1)(i)], (g)(2) and (g)(3) that describe
engineering and work practice controls operation as well as prohibitions that must be observed
regardless of the percentage of asbestos in the installed construction materials. The standard also
has exposure-based requirements consisting of a 0.01 fiber/ cc 8 hour Time Weighted Average
(TWA)Personal Exposure Limit(PEL)and a 1 fiber/ce 30-minute excursion limit.
Drywall Texturing Compound is classified as a surfacing material and is generally non-friable as
long as the texturing compaunds remain painted and in good condition. If the texturing compounds
are damaged by cutting, drilling, sanding etc., or damaged by water or fire, the texturing
compounds could become friable and release fibers. OSHA has classified the removal of drywall
texturing compounds as Class I asbestos work, the most hazardous class of asbestos jobs. Class I
asbestos work involves the removal of asbestos-containing or presumed asbestos-containing
thermal insulation and sprayed-on or troweled-on surfacing material. Texturing compounds must
be removed by properly asbestos trained personnel,prior to building demolition or renovation.
Joint Compounds associated with drywall materials are classified as non-friable as long as the
joint compounds remain painted and in good condition. If the joint compounds are damaged by
cutting, drilling, sanding etc., or damaged by water or fire, the joint compounds could become
friable and release fibers. OSHA has concluded that removal of non-ACM wallboard panels with
ACM joint compound poses a potential hazard to workers that must be controlled. If a wall shell is I
constructed of ACM joint compound and non-ACM wallboard panels, then removal of the wall
shell is Class II asbestos work.
The following is excerpted from a CDPHE Solid Waste Compliance Bulletin, Asbestos Waste
Disposal. Review/revised Apri12007.
Drywall and drywall mud may contain asbestos. The percent of asbestos contained in drywall and
its associated materials, including mud and tape, may be deter-mined based on a representative
composite sampling program. Drywall finishing mud and joint compound, referred to simply as
"mud", frequently has been found to contain a significant amount of asbestos (i.e. greater than 1%),
while the substrate it is applied over may or may not contain any asbestos. The question, then, is
how to handle this composite material in the event of a renovation or demolition project that will
impact these materials.
Two distinet situations may oecur. first, the demolition/renovation project may impact the mud
alone, such as could be the case during a sanding operation, or second. the demolition/renovation
pro�ec7 t may impact the composite material (the mud and the substrate drvwall it is a�plied over�
such as would be the case in the demolition of the drvwall.
In the first case, if the mud contains greater than 1% asbestos, the project must be handled as an
asbestos abatement project, subject to all the applicable requirements of the Air Pollution Control �
Division.
Foothills Environmental,Inc. 1320 Simms Street,Suite 102,Golden,CO 80401 (303)232-2660

,� In the second case, the proiect is considered to be an asbestos abatement proiect if the percent o„f
asbestos in the combined mud/drvwall composite material is greater than 1%.
If, on the other hand, the mud contains 1% or less of asbestos, the material is not considered to be
asbestos-containing material for purposes of the Air regulations and is not subject to the asbestos
abatement requirements. Similarly, if the composite analysis indicates an asbestos content of 1%or
less, even though the mud itself may be greater than 1%, the material is not considered to be
asbestos-containing material and does not fall under the asbestos abatement requirements of the Air
regulations. In both of these cases, the removed materials may be disposed of as construction and
demolition debris—i.e., non-asbestos waste. Adequate documentation must be kept to demonstrate
the determination regarding the concentration of asbestos in the materials being disposed. If
construction or demolition debris is commingled with any friable asbestos material, it all must be
disposed of as asbestos-contaminated debris. Proper materials characterization and planning should
occur early in the project to minimize the amount of asbestos-containing waste.
Asphaltic Roofing materials
In accordance with Regulation No. 8, Section III.S3. Asphaltic Materials-Tar impregnated roofing
felts, asphalt roofing tiles,roofing asphalts,roofing mastics, and asphaltic pipeline coatings that are
nonfriable and will remain nonfriable during abatement are exempt from this regulation.

General Notes
♦ ND indicates no asbestos was detected;tbe method detection limit is 1 %.
♦ Trace or"<1"indicates asbestos was identified in the sample,but the concentration is less than 1°/n.
♦ All regulated asbestos minerals(i.e.chrysotile,amosite,crocidolite,anthophyllite,tremolite,and actinolite)were sought in every layer of each sample,but only those asbestos
minerals detected are listed.Amosite is the common name for the asbestiform variety of the minerals cummingtonite and grunerite. Crocidolite is the common name used for the
asbestiform variety of the mineral riebeckite.
♦ Tile,vinyl,foam,plastic,and fine powder samples may contain asbestos fibers of such small diameter(<0.25 microns in diameter)that these fibers cannot be detected by PLM.
For such samples,more sensitive analytical methods(e.g.TEM,SEM,and XRD)are recommended if greater certainty about asbestos content is required. Semi-quantitative bulk TEM
floor tile analysis is accepted under NESHAP regulations.
♦ These results are submitted pursuant to Aerobiology Laboratory Associates,Inc.'s current terms and conditions of sale,including the company's standard warranty and limitation
of liability provisions. No responsibility or liability is assumed for the manner in which the results are used or interpreted.
♦ Unless notified in writing to return the samples covered by this report,Aerobiology Laboratory Associates,Inc.will store the samples for a minimum period of thirty(30)days
before discarding. A shipping and handling charge will be assessed for the return of any samples.
♦ Aerobiology does not guarantee the results of tape lifts,microvacs,wipe,and/or debris samples. Accurate analysis cannot be performed due to particle size,media used,and/or
amount of material given. Analysis of these materials should be preformed by a TEM. A result of ND does not indicate that the sample area does not contain asbestos. It means the
analyst could not identify asbestos in the specific sample for the reasons listed above.
Notes Required bv NVLAP
♦ This report must not be used by the client to claim product certification,approval,or endorsement by NVLAP,NIST,or any agency of the Federal Government.
♦ This test report relates only to tbe items tested or calibrated.
♦ This report is not valid unless it bears the name of a NVLAP-approved signatory.

State of Colorado
Asbestos Testing &Abatement Requirements
Asbestos testing and abatement protects workers, homeowners, neighbors and emergency services responders from ex-
posure to harmful asbestos. 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 POSTTIVE results at more than 1% 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.
� Te��d negative, or at 1% or below (1 copies of test results included)
.�
� Tested positive at more than 1%, 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 commerce
of many asbestos-containing product categories was set aside and did not take effect." - CDPHE
