Task 1 - Field Work: The asbestos survey will be completed by an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) accredited AHERA and Colorado State certified asbestos building inspector. The inspector will perform the physical assessment of suspect materials, plan and organize the building inspection; identify and map homogeneous areas and functional spaces; assess the condition and potential for future damage to friable materials; and collect samples. A minimum of three samples will be collected from each readily visible and accessible homogeneous area, in accordance with EPA National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPS) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) regulation 29 CFR 1926.1101. Sampling will follow the 3-5-7 rule under AHERA, specifying the collection of: 3 samples of surfacing materials less than 3,000 square feet in size. 5 samples of surfacing materials between 1,000 and 5,000 square feet in size; and 7 samples of surfacing materials greater than 5,000 square feet in size. Fewer samples may be collected at inspectors discretion of miscellaneous materials, and material in small patch areas. Additional samples may still need to be collected during demolition if hidden areas are revealed and materials are encountered that were not sampled earlier. A cost estimate for collection of samples from materials discovered during demolition. The samples will be submitted to Reservoirs, under proper chain-of-custody procedures, for analysis of asbestos content on a Rush same Day standard turn-around. Strom is an American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) accredited laboratory and participates in the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP). A minimum of three samples of a material is needed to categorize that material as non- asbestos-containing. As a cost saving procedure, and as specified by the asbestos inspector, the samples will be analyzed progressively. (If the first sample analyzed of a material contains asbestos, then the subsequent samples are not analyzed, since the material must be categorized as asbestos-containing.) Samples with layers will not be analyzed progressively. If less than or equal to ten percent of asbestos is detected in a friable sample, then the sample must be pointed-counted, including samples with results less than one percent. Point-counting is a systematic laboratory technique which can more accurately quantify the percent of asbestos. Friable material and non-friable material that could be rendered friable during renovation activities are required to be point-counted by Colorado Regulation No. 8. Task 1: Inspection. 1. Inspection Activities. Completion and field review of SOW related to destructive and non-destructive sampling homogeneous building materials limited to client specified specific small area locations planned for limited renovation. Building samples will be analyzed per building based on EPA requirements, with a maximum of 3-7 samples per and at client request limited to specific homogeneous small scale planned renovation areas. Additional sample of specific units will be required to fully characterize all suspect materials within units, and unit wall and ceiling cavities. Findings 1. Asbestos was detected above 1% in sample locations of friable acoustical ceiling spray, drywall friable wall compound and non-friable orange tile under Kitchen and bathroom ceramic tile. It is likely overspray of acoustical insulation may exist under carpet pad, along the upper par of walls, under flooring and within associated j-boxes and outlets. Laboratory results attached. 2. All of these materials were in good to fair condition, with small areas of localized damage at sample points. Conclusions 1. Any disturbance of ACM materials areas or types of materials must me conducted by a Colorado General Abatement Contractor in accordance with applicable State, EPA and OSHA regulations. 2. Newly discovered materials must be assumed asbestos, until tested and proven otherwise on a building specific basis. All of these materials were in good to fair condition, with small areas of localized damage at sample points. Please contact me if you have any question related to this project. Kris T.
