Date: 06/06/2016 Asbestos Sampling Report
To: Greg Cummings Regarding: 5147 Gore Circle, Vail, CO
Mr. Cummings,
On 06/02/2016, Mr. Cummings requested an asbestos inspection for a demolition. Element
Environmental conducted an asbestos inspection of suspect asbestos containing materials
which would be impacted during the demolition. If other suspect materials become
visible/apparent during demolition or construction activities, work in that area should be halted
and more sampling/testing must take place, per Colorado regulations. Any suspect materials
that were not tested are to be assumed to contain asbestos.
A limited bulk sampling of from all suspect materials was conducted in accordance with
Colorado State Requirements. Said requirements state: For surfacing materials, each
homogenous area of less than 1000 SF, a minimum of three samples must be collected
randomly. For each homogenous area of 1000-5000 SF, a minimum of five samples must be
collected. For areas larger than 5001 SF a minimum of seven samples must be collected,
respectively. For miscellaneous materials at least one sample must be taken. A homogeneous
area is defined as one which shares suspect material, texture, color, location, and/or apparent
time of construction.
Josh Johnson, a Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment certified building
inspector, certification number: 18401, performed the inspection. Samples taken were sent to
Aerobiology Laboratory, in Denver, for PLM (Polarized Light Microscopy) analysis. Attached are
the lab’s documents with analyses and findings.
