PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF STUDY
This report presents the results of a subsoil study for the proposed Kuelling residence to be
Iocated on Lots 14A and 14B, Block 7, Bighorn Subdivision Fifth Addition,4872A and 4872B
Meadow Lane, Vail, Colorado. The project site is shown on Figure 1. The purpose of the study
was to develop recommendations for the foundation design. A site specific review of potential
geological hazards that may impact the site was also performed. The study was conducted in
accordance with our agreement for geotechnical engineering services to K.H. Webb Architects
dated November 15, 2016.
A field exploration program consisting of exploratory borings was conducted to obtain
information on the general subsurface conditions. Samples of the subsoils obtained during the
field exploration were tested in the laboratory to determine their classification, compressibility or
swell and other engineering characteristics. The results of the field exploration and laboratory
testing were analyzed to develop recommendations for foundation types, depths and allowable
pressures for the proposed building foundation. This report summarizes the data obtained during
this study and presents our conclusions, design recommendations and other geotechnical
engineering considerations based on the proposed construction and the subsurface conditions
encountered. The potential geologic hazard impacts at the site are also discussed in the report.
PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION
An existing duplex residence on the site will be removed for the new construction. The proposed
new building will be a duplex residence consisting of a two-story wood frame structure with
attached garages cut into the hillside slope and located on the lot as shown on Figure 1A. The
hillside cut will be up to about 16 feet deep and daylight to the west and north. Ground floors
are planned to be slab-on-grade. We assume relatively light foundation loadings, typical of the
proposed type of construction.
If building loadings, location or grading plans change significantly from those described above,
we should be notified to re-evaluate the recommendations contained in this report.
H-P KUMAR Project No. 16-7-596

SITE CONDITIONS
The site was occupied by an existing three story duplex residence located as shown on Figure 1.
The existing building appears to have a lower level cut about 8 feet deep into the hillside. The
terrain was variable and consisted of moderately steep to steep hillside in the southeast and
southwest portions of the lot transitioning to a relatively flat and strong slope down to the north
toward Meadow Lane in about the northern half of the lot. Slope grades range from about 15 to
50% on the hillsides and about 8 to 4% in the flatter areas. There is a narrow drainage flowing
out of the hillside terrain in the south-central portion of the lot to the northwest and into an
apparent shallow detention pond with a culvert outlet towards Meadow Lane. The drainage
channel area included apparent wetlands that extended to the southwest edge of the proposed
building, see Figure 1A. The survey plan provided also notes springs from the bottom of the
hillside along the south side of the wetlands area.
The site has been graded some for construction of the existing building. Vegetation consisted of
moderately thick and relatively large pine trees. The lot was covered by about 6 inches of snow
at the time of our field exploration.
GEOLOGIC HAZARDS
Potential major geologic hazards that could impact the subject site consist of rockfall and snow
avalanche according to the Town of Vail mapping(Town of Vail, 2000a, 2000b and 2000c).
The hazards are noted as high for the rockfall potential and possible influence zone for the
avalanche potential. The avalanche hazard risk is mapped in only about the southwestern 2/3 of
the lot and onto the building site. There may also be a risk of flooding from the drainage through
the site which should be evaluated by the civil engineer.
The rockfall risk is due to the bedrock outcrops above the site and are typically not frequent but
can damage homes and property when larger rocks fall. We generally agree with the high hazard
risk mapping for the rockfall. The avalanche risk occurs from snow pack on steep slopes when
weak layers of snow pack develop and/or additional heavy snow or precipitation add to the snow
pack. Based on the thick trees on and above the site, there has not been a recent avalanche in this
H-P KUMAR
Project No. 16-7-596
- 3 -
area and the risk is mapped as a potential impact rather than an area of historic impact. We
believe the avalanche risk at the site is low.
The potential hazards appear to be an active geologic process at the subject site and in nearby
areas, and should be expected in the future. However, without long term observations, it is not
possible to develop a statistical recurrence probability of the hazards. We are not aware of recent
rockfall or avalanche at the site. Although the probability of a rockfall or snow avalanche will
hit the residence is likely Iow, a rockfall or snow avalanche has the potential to cause major
damage to building with a risk of harm to the occupants. If this risk is not acceptable to the
owner, then the feasibility of mitigation should be considered.
Rockfall in the area has been mitigated with rockfall catching barriers and avalanche with soil
berms or impact walls which may or may not be feasible at the site due to the limited area on the
lot behind the residence and the adjacent properties. The mitigation would likely need to extend
beyond the property lines and could encompass multiple adjacent lots that are subject to similar
potential geologic hazards.
If the owner does not plan to mitigate the potential geologic hazards and accepts the risk they
may pose on the residence, this should be feasible based on Town of Vail code provided the
proposed construction and grading does not increase the existing rockfall or avalanche hazards to
adjacent properties including public streets, right-of-ways and easements. We should review the
building and grading plans when they are developed.
FIELD EXPLORATION
The field exploration for the project was conducted on December 5, 2016. Two exploratory
borings were drilled at the locations shown on Figure 1 to evaluate the subsurface conditions.
The borings were advanced with 4-inch diameter continuous flight augers powered by a truck-
mounted CME-45B drill rig. Locations of the borings were limited to the areas drilled due to the
existing development, trees and steep irregular terrain. The borings were logged by a
representative of H-P/Kumar.

Samples of the subsoils were taken with 1% inch and 2 inch I.D. spoon samplers. The samplers
were driven into the subsoils at various depths with blows from a 140-pound hammer falling 30
inches. This test is similar to the standard penetration test described by ASTM Method D-1586.
The penetration resistance values are an indication of the relative density or consistency of the
subsoils. Depths at which the samples were taken and the penetration resistance values are
shown on the Logs of Exploratory Borings, Figure 2. The samples were returned to our
laboratory for review by the project engineer and testing.
SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
Graphic logs of the subsurface conditions encountered at the site are shown on Figure 2. The
subsoils encountered were somewhat variable with respect to type, depths and engineering
characteristics. The subsoils encountered at Boring 1, below about 4 inches of asphalt pavement,
consisted of medium dense, slightly silty to silty sand and gravel with cobbles and probable
boulders that extended down to the drilled depth of 26 feet. The subsoils encountered at Boring
2, below about I foot of organic topsoil, consisted of about 13 feet of medium dense/stiff, clayey
sand and silt underlain by medium dense, silty sand and gravel with cobbles that extended down
to the drilled depth of 17 feet. Drilling in the sand and gravel with cobbles (coarse granular
soils) with auger equipment was difficult due to the cobbles and probable boulders and drilling
refusal was encountered in Boring 2 in the deposit.
Laboratory testing performed on samples obtained from the borings included natural moisture
content and density, and gradation analyses. Results of swell-consolidation testing performed on
a relatively undisturbed drive sample of the clayey sand and silt soils, presented on Figure 4,
indicate moderate compressibility under conditions of loading and wetting with a low hydro-
compression potential. Results of gradation analyses performed on a small diameter drive
sample (minus 1%2 inch fraction) of the coarse granular subsoils are shown on Figure 5. The
laboratory testing is summarized in Table 1.
H-P KU MAR Project No. 16-7-596
- 5 -
Free water was encountered in the borings at the time of drilling and when checked I day later at
depths of about 7%i to 81/2 feet. The subsoils were generally moist becoming wet near and below
the groundwater level.
FOUNDATION BEARING CONDITIONS
The fine-grained clayey sand and silt soils possess low bearing capacity and, in general, a
moderate settlement potential, especially if they were to become wetted. The coarse granular
soils possess moderate bearing capacity and relatively low settlement potential. At proposed
excavation depths, we expect the subgrade will transition from the compressible clayey sand and
silt soils to the relatively incompressible coarse granular soils. Groundwater will Iikely be
encountered in the deeper cut areas and require excavation dewatering and possibly subgrade
stabilization of soft areas.
Spread footings should be feasible for foundation support of the building with a risk of
settlement. To reduce the settlement risk, we recommend a minimum 3 feet of compacted
structural fill be provided below the spread footings in the fine grained clayey sand and silt soil
bearing areas. The structural fill can consist of the on-site coarse granular soils (minus 6-inch
fraction) or a suitable granular material such as road base can be imported. A lower risk of
foundation settlement would be to extend the spread footings down to bear entirely on the coarse
granular soils. Founding the building on micro-piles is also feasible and would provide a
relatively low risk of foundation settlement.
Provided below are recommendations for a spread footing foundation system. If
recommendations for a micro-pile foundation system are desired, we should be contacted.
DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS
FOUNDATIONS
Considering the subsurface conditions encountered in the exploratory borings and the nature of
the proposed construction, we believe the building can be founded with spread footings bearing
on a combination of the natural sand and gravel with cobbles soils or on a minimum 3 feet of
H-P 4 KUMAR
Project No. 16-7-596
- 6 -
compacted structural fill with some risk of settlement. The risk of settlement is primarily if the
fine grained clayey sand and silt soils below the structural fill were to become wetted and
precautions should be taken to prevent wetting of these bearing soils.
The design and construction criteria presented below should be observed for a spread footing
foundation system.
1) Footings placed on the undisturbed natural granular soils or compacted structural
fill should be designed for an allowable bearing pressure of 2,000 psf. Based on
experience, we expect initial settlement of footings designed and constructed as
discussed in this section will be up to about 1 inch. There could be some
additional settlement if the clayey sand and silt soils were to become wetted. The
magnitude of the additional settlement would depend on the depth and extent of
the wetting but may be on the order of%2 to 1 inch.
2) The footings should have a minimum width of 18 inches for continuous walls and
2 feet for isolated pads.
3) Exterior footings and footings beneath unheated areas should be provided with
adequate soil cover above their bearing elevation for frost protection. Placement
of foundations at least 48 inches below exterior grade is typically used in this
area.
4) Continuous foundation walls should be heavily reinforced top and bottom to span
local anomalies and better withstand the effects of some differential settlement
such as by assuming an unsupported length of at least 14 feet. Foundation walls
acting as retaining structures should also be designed to resist lateral earth
pressures as discussed in the "Foundation and Retaining Walls" section of this
report.
5) All existing fill, debris, topsoil and the required depth of clayey sand and silt soils
should be removed to provide a minimum 3 feet of structural fill below footing
areas in the non-coarse granular soil bearing areas. Any loose or disturbed soils
should also be removed, the subgrade adjusted to near optimum moisture content
and compacted to at least 95%standard Proctor density. If water seepage is
encountered, the excavation should be dewatered as needed and any softened soils
H-P k KUMAR
Project No. 16-7-596
- 7 -
removed and replaced with coarse granular soils to provide a firm subgrade for
footing construction and fill placement. Structural fill placed below the footing
areas should be compacted to at Ieast 98% standard Proctor density at a moisture
content near optimum. The structural fill should extend laterally beyond the
edges of the footings a distance equal to at least the depth of fill below the
footing.
6) A representative of the geotechnical engineer should observe all footing
excavations and observe and test structural fill placement on a regular basis prior
to concrete placement to evaluate bearing conditions.
FOUNDATION AND RETAINING WALLS
Foundation walls and retaining structures up to about 12 feet tall which are laterally supported
and can be expected to undergo only a slight amount of deflection should be designed for a
lateral earth pressure computed on the basis of an equivalent fluid unit weight of at least 55 pcf
for backfill consisting of the on-site soils. Cantilevered retaining structures up to about 12 feet
tall which are separate from the building and can be expected to deflect sufficiently to mobilize
the full active earth pressure condition should be designed for a Iateral earth pressure computed
on the basis of an equivalent fluid unit weight of at least 45 pcf for backfill consisting of the on-
site soils. Foundation walls and retaining structures taller than about 12 feet which are laterally
supported and can be expected to undergo only a slight amount of deflection should be designed
for a uniform lateral earth pressure of 27.5H in psf where H is the wall height in feet.
Cantilevered retaining structures taller than about 12 feet should be designed for a uniform
lateral earth pressure of 22.5H in psf where H is the wall height in feet. The wall backfill should
not contain topsoil or oversized (plus 6 inch) rocks and be properly placed and compacted.
All foundation and retaining structures should be designed for appropriate hydrostatic and
surcharge pressures such as adjacent footings, traffic, construction materials and equipment. The
pressures recommended above assume drained conditions behind the walls and a horizontal
backfill surface. The buildup of water behind a wall or an upward sloping backfill surface will
H-P--KUMAR Project No. 16-7-596
- 8 -
increase the lateral pressure imposed on a foundation wall or retaining structure. An underdrain
should be provided to prevent hydrostatic pressure buildup behind walls.
Backfill should be placed in uniform lifts and compacted to at least 90%of the maximum
standard Proctor density at a moisture content near optimum. Backfill placed in pavement and
walkway areas should be compacted to at least 95%of the maximum standard Proctor density.
Care should be taken not to overcompact the backfill or use large equipment near the wall, since
this could cause excessive lateral pressure on the wall. Some settlement of deep foundation wall
backfill should be expected, even if the material is placed correctly, and could result in distress to
facilities constructed on the backfill. Use of a select granular material, such as road base, as the
backfill material and increasing compaction to 98% standard Proctor density could be done to
reduce the backfill settlement.
The lateral resistance of foundation or retaining wall footings will be a combination of the
sliding resistance of the footing on the foundation materials and passive earth pressure against
the side of the footing. Resistance to sliding at the bottoms of the footings can be calculated
based on a coefficient of friction of 0.45. Passive pressure of compacted backfill against the
sides of the footings can be calculated using an equivalent fluid unit weight of 375 pcf for moist
condition and 250 pcf for submerged condition. The coefficient of friction and passive pressure
values recommended above assume ultimate soil strength. Suitable factors of safety should be
included in the design to limit the strain which will occur at the ultimate strength, particularly in
the case of passive resistance. Fill placed against the sides of the footings to resist Iateral loads
should be suitable granular material compacted to at least 95% of the maximum standard Proctor
density at a moisture content near optimum.
FLOOR SLABS
The natural on-site soils, exclusive of topsoil, appear suitable to support lightly loaded slab-on-
grade construction. We expect the excavation subgrade will transition from the fine grained
clayey sand and silt soils to coarse granular soils in areas. The fine grained soils may tend to
settle especially when wetted and removal and replacement of a depth of the fine grained soils
(typically about 2 feet) may be needed to reduce the risk of differential settlement and slab
H-P•KUMAR
Project No. 16-7-596
- 9 -
distress. We should review the exposed subgrade and the need for subexcavtion of a depth of the
fine grained soils and replacement with structural fill at the time of construction.
To reduce the effects of some differential movement, floor slabs should be separated from all
bearing walls and columns with expansion joints which allow unrestrained vertical movement.
Floor slab control joints should be used to reduce damage due to shrinkage cracking. The
requirements for joint spacing and slab reinforcement should be established by the designer
based on experience and the intended slab use. A minimum 6-inch layer of free-draining gravel
should be placed beneath ground level slabs for support and to facilitate drainage. This material
should consist of minus 2 inch aggregate with at least 50% retained on the No. 4 sieve and less
than 2%passing the No. 200 sieve.
All fill materials for support of floor slabs should be compacted to at least 95% of maximum
standard Proctor density at a moisture content near optimum. Required fill can consist of the
on-site coarse granular soils devoid of topsoil and oversized (plus 6 inch) rocks, or a suitable
imported granular fill material such as road base can be used.
UNDERDRAIN SYSTEM
Free water was encountered during our exploration and it has been our experience in the area that
groundwater can rise and local perched groundwater can develop during times of heavy
precipitation or seasonal runoff. Frozen ground during spring runoff can also create a perched
condition. Temporary dewatering of the excavation for construction and a permanent underdrain
system for below grade construction such as retaining walls, basement and crawlspace areas to
prevent wetting and hydrostatic pressure build-up is needed. It may be desirable to incorporate
the temporary excavation dewatering into the permanent underdrain system.
The drains should consist of drainpipe placed in the bottom of the wall backfill surrounded above
the invert level with free-draining granular material. The drains should be placed at each level of
excavation and at least I%2 feet below lowest adjacent finish grade and sloped at a minimum 1%
to a suitable gravity outlet. Several interior lateral drains on about 20 feet spacing may also be
needed below the ground floor slabs. Free-draining granular material used in the underdrain
H-P KU MAR Project No. 16-7-596
- 10-
system should contain less than 2%passing the No. 200 sieve, less than 50% passing the No. 4
sieve and have a maximum size of 2 inches. The perimeter drain gravel backfill should be at
least 2 feet deep, extend to above any seepage in the adjacent excavation cut face, and be
covered by a filter fabric such as Mirafi 140N or 160N.
SITE GRADING
There is risk of construction-induced slope instability due to the relatively deep proposed cut into
the hillside, especially if groundwater is encountered. We expect temporary cut slopes will need
to be no steeper than 1 horizontal (H) to 1 vertical (V) for dry slope conditions and 1%2(H) to 1
(V) or flatter where seepage is encountered. In areas where the cut slope cannot be laid back to a
stable grade, consideration should be given to shoring the cut slope face. Soil nail walls are
typically used in the area for shoring and can be for temporary condition or as a permanent type
wall system. Soil nail walls are typically design/build by qualified contractors with experience
in the area.
Permanent unretained cut and fill slopes should be graded at 2 (H) to 1 (V) or flatter and
protected against erosion by revegetation or other means. The risk of slope instability will be
increased if seepage is encountered in cuts and flatter slopes may be necessary. If seepage is
encountered in permanent cuts, an investigation should be conducted to determine if the seepage
will adversely affect the cut stability. This office should review site grading plans for the project
prior to construction.
SURFACE DRAINAGE
The following drainage precautions should be observed during construction and maintained at all
times after the residence has been completed:
1) Inundation of the foundation excavations and underslab areas should be avoided
during construction.
2) Exterior backfill should be adjusted to near optimum moisture and compacted to
at least 95% of the maximum standard Proctor density in pavement and slab areas
and to at least 90% of the maximum standard Proctor density in landscape areas.
H-P KUMAR Project No. 16-7-596
- Il -
3) The ground surface surrounding the exterior of the building should be sloped to
drain away from the foundation in all directions. We recommend a minimum
slope of 12 inches in the first 10 feet in unpaved areas and a minimum slope of 3
inches in the first 10 feet in paved areas. This may require a swale on the hillside
slope above the building.
4) Free-draining wall backfill should be capped with filter fabric and about 2 feet of
the on-site finer graded soils to reduce surface water infiltration.
5) Roof downspouts and drains should discharge well beyond the limits of all
backfill.
6) Landscaping which requires regular heavy irrigation should be located at least 5
feet from foundation walls.
LIMITATIONS
This study has been conducted in accordance with generally accepted geotechnical engineering
principles and practices in this area at this time. We make no warranty either express or implied.
The conclusions and recommendations submitted in this report are based upon the data obtained
from the exploratory borings drilled at the locations indicated on Figure I, the proposed type of
construction and our experience in the area. Our services do not include determining the
presence, prevention or possibility of mold or other biological contaminants (MOBC) developing
in the future. If the client is concerned about MOBC, then a professional in this special field of
practice should be consulted. Our findings include interpolation and extrapolation of the
subsurface conditions identified at the exploratory borings and variations in the subsurface
conditions may not become evident until excavation is performed. If conditions encountered
during construction appear different from those described in this report, we should be notified so
that re-evaluation of the recommendations may be made.
This report has been prepared for the exclusive use by our client for design purposes. We are not
responsible for technical interpretations by others of our information. As the project evolves, we
should provide continued consultation and field services during construction to review and
1-I-P KUMAR Project No. 16-7-596
- 12 -
monitor the implementation of our recommendations, and to verify that the recommendations
have been appropriately interpreted. Significant design changes may require additional analysis
or modifications to the recommendations presented herein. We recommend on-site observation
of excavations and foundation bearing strata and testing of structural fill by a representative of
the geotechnical engineer.

Dear Mr.Venerable:
Attached is the report for the bulk sampling of suspected asbestos-containing materials at
4872 Meadow Lane,Vail,Colorado. This report must be used for complete building
demolition purposes only.
This investigation was conducted on behalf of and for the exclusive use of Paragon
Homes(client). This report and the findings herein shall not,in whole or in part,be
disseminated or conveyed to any other party,nor used by any other party,in whole or in
part,without prior written consent of Boulder Environmental Inc.
Personnel knowledgeable of asbestos containing materials should always oversee
demolition activities. Demolition work should be halted and sampling performed by a
state of Colorado licensed building inspector if additional materials, which are suspected
of containing asbestos, are encountered.
If you have any questions regarding the contents of this report,please do not hesitate to
contact us.

ASBESTOS SURVEY AND BULK SAMPLING REPORT
FOR BUILDING DEMOLIT ION OF THE
4872 Meadow Lane,Vail,Colorado
Introduction:
On April 11, 2018, Boulder Environmental Inc.'s Building Inspector, Chris Maron,
conducted an asbestos-containing materials survey. The purpose of the survey was to
identify asbestos containing materials (ACM) and materials presumed to contain asbestos
(PACM) as defined by the Environmental Protection Agency(EPA)for the purposes of
eventual building demolition.
Sampling:
During the sampling process,suspect ACM was separated into three EPA categories.
These categories are thermal system insulation(T SI),surfacing ACM, and miscellaneous
ACM. T SI includes all materials used to prevent heat loss or gain or water condensation
on mechanical systems. Examples of T SI are pipe coverings, boiler insulation, duct
wrap,and mud packed fitting cement. Surfacing ACM includes all ACM that is sprayed,
trowelled, or otherwise applied to a surface. These applications are most commonly used
in fireproofing, decorative and acoustical applications. Miscellaneous materials include
all ACM not listed in the thermal system insulation or surfacing categories, such as
linoleum,vinyl asbestos flooring, and ceiling tile.
Boulder Environmental Inc. followed EPA recommended sampling guidelines for
identification of asbestos in bulk matrices. A set of one(1), three(3), five (5), or seven
(7) samples were collected for each material type and analyzed by Polarized Light
Microscopy (PLM). Each sample set was systematically analyzed. Upon determination
that a sample in a set contained asbestos, analysis of the remaining samples in the set was
discontinued. If no asbestos was detected during the analyses, the suspect material was
determined to be negative for asbestos content.
Suspect materials are assigned numerical values based on an evaluation of the building
materials condition at the time of the inspection. The numbers assigned are: 1. Damaged
or significantly damaged thermal system insulation ACM. 2. Damaged friable surfacing
ACM. 3. Significantly damaged friable surfacing ACM. 4. Damaged or significantly
damaged friable miscellaneous ACM. 5. ACM with potential for damage.6. ACM with
potential for significant damage.7. Any remaining friable ACM or friable suspected
ACM.

Results:
The following materials are presumed to be asbestos containing:
PRESUMED ASBESTOS CONTAINING MATERIALS
MATERIAL LOCATION CONDITION
Tar impregnated roofing* 5,000 square feet on roof Non friable
*Certain non-friable asbestos containing materials such as those noted may remain in a building
during complete"conventional"demolition of a building. The Colorado Department of Public
Health and Environment,Air Pollution Control Division,does not require a notification to be
submitted for a project involving the removal of non-friable tar-impregnated asbestos roofing
felts. However,if the roofing felt is friable or will become friable during its removal, all of the
permitting,notification, certification and waste handling sections of Regulation No. 8 would
apply.
Discussion:
Sample analyses results are reported in percentages of asbestos and non-asbestos
components. The EPA defines any material that contains greater than one percent(1%)
asbestos, utilizing PLM, as being an asbestos containing material. Materials that are
identified as"none detected" are specified as not containing asbestos.
Asbestos removal permit or notification requirements:
When the quantity of ACBM to be removed exceeds">260 LF or 160 SF or a 55-
gallon drum", a permit or notification and a ten working day waiting period are required
before a permit is valid. These circumstances also require a notification fee of$80 for a
non-friable asbestos removal or a permit fee of$400 for a friable asbestos removal.
These trigger levels apply to all SFRD's which are intended to be demolished.
Obtaining a State Demolition Permit:
Prior to building demolition/relocation/burning, Colorado requires a state issued
demolition permit. The building, or portion thereof, must be free of regulated asbestos
containing materials before application for the demolition permit.
There is a 10 working-day advance notification requirement for permit applications. Day
1 is the Pt business day following the postmark or hand-delivery date.(Working Day
means Monday through Friday and including holidays that falls on any of the days
Monday through Friday.)

Phone:(303)382-1175 Fax:1 (866)699-4121
An inspector accredited by the EPA and CDPHE must sign a statement (in blue ink)
certifying that the building is eligible for demolition to begin the demolition permit
application process.
If a demolition follows a permitted or noticed asbestos abatement project within 10
business days of the completion of the abatement project,the 10 working-day advance
notification requirement will be waived.
Upon request, (as it typically serves your project timeline), BEI will forward the required
original application, signed in blue ink, directly to the demolition contractor if you have
selected one. This way you are not deemed a courier and do not incur further
inconvenience prior to beginning the ten working days after CDPHE receives the fee and
application necessary to obtain a demolition permit.
Emergency asbestos abatement/demolition permits may be issued if project
circumstances pose an immediate hazard to public health and environment. CDPHE does
not typically waive permit waiting periods because of financial hardships or planning
issues. Requests for emergency asbestos abatement/demolition permits must be made in
writijg by the building owner to: Permit Coordinator, Colorado Dept. of Public Health
and Environment, APCD-SS-B1, 4300 Cherry Creek Drive South,Denver,CO 80246-
1530, Phone: 303-692-3100, Fax: 303-782-0278, Email: cdphe.asbestos@state.co.us.
Please note that walk-in business address for CDPHE is different from the mailing
address on CDPHE forms. Their physical address is 700 South Ash Street,Denver,
Colorado.

Conclusion:
No asbestos removal is necessary prior to complete,conventional building
demolition. Please contact Boulder Environmental Inc. and instruct us where to send the
demolition notification application. CDPHE will only process complete applications,
bearing the signature of a qualified building inspector signed in blue ink.
This survey was conducted following A& L Abatement Inc.'s removal of 8,500
square feet of asbestos containing drywall systems. The abatement was completed
on April 2, 2018, under permit 18SU0598A.
Both sides of the ski lodge wereabated down to the studs and the only remaining
presumed asbestos containing material was the non-friable, tar impregnated roofing noted
below.
The following presumed asbestos containing materials remain in the building as long as
they remain non-friable during conventional building demolition:
• —5,000 square feet of tar impregnated roofing on the roof
Non-friable asbestos containing materials as noted may remain in a building during
demolition.Occupational Safety and Health Administration guidelines should be
followed while disturbing or handling these materials. State of Colorado licenses and
certifications for asbestos handling are not required so long as materials remain non-
friable.
Workers disturbing asbestos containing materials must be OSHA/EPA trained and
asbestos containing materials must be disposed of in a land-fill approved by the EPA to
receive asbestos waste.
Workers disturbing materials that contain 1% asbestos or less must be OSHA trained and
follow OSHA handling guidelines while handling and disposing such materials.
The results of this survey pertain only to materials tested. The laboratory reports
supporting these findings above are attached. Please contact Boulder Environmental Inc.
if you have any questions or concerns regarding this report.

2.0 Introduction
ETest Network, LLC (ETN) was hired to do a limited asbestos inspection at the project address and collected
bulk samples of suspect asbestos containing materials (ACM) within a portion of the property. The
inspection's purpose was to identify potentially hazardous ACM prior to a remediation and/or demolition.
3.0 Project Scope
The project tested the drywall and texture throughout the left and right unit.
4.0 Property Type
This site is a residential condo.
5.0 Certifications
ETest Network, LLC is licensed by the State of Colorado, Department of Public Health and the Environment
(CDPHE), as an Asbestos Consulting Firm. License Number ACF-20073. Mr. Michael Regall is licensed as an
Asbestos Building Inspector by the CDPHE. License Number 19847.
6.0 Methodology
6.1 Guidelines
Guidelines used for the limited inspection were established by the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) and the CDPHE. Statistically random bulk-samples representative of the suspect ACM of each
homogeneous area were collected according to the guidelines published as EPA Final Rule: Title
II of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), 15 USC, Sections 2641 through 2654 and in
compliance with 40 CFR, Part 763 and CDPHE Regulation Number 8, Part B - "Emission Standards
for Asbestos." (Reg. 8).
6.2 Homogeneous Areas
ETN has organized field information according to the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act
(AHERA) definition of a Homogeneous Area (HA). AHERA defines a Homogeneous Area as "suspect
material of similar age, appearance, function, and texture." Samples collected within an HA can be
assumed to represent the entire HA so long as the HA adheres to the definition and samples are taken
in sufficient quantity to meet at least the minimum standard. Homogeneous Areas are assigned by
ETN for each type of suspect ACM in the areas defined by the scope of the limited inspection.
6.3 Sample Collection
ETN has collected sample quantities for each HA based on regulatory guidelines outlined in Section
6.4 of this report. The sample locations were randomized based on a simple grid pattern applied to a
sketch of the corresponding HA.
Sampling is by nature a destructive process and has been conducted only in areas already slated for
remediation/demolition. The possibility exists that there may be additional suspect ACM materials
hidden from view of the inspector at the time of the inspection which will require a re-inspection and
additional sampling.
6.4 Sample Classification and Quantities
Procedures for sampling are based on both the type and relative amount of each suspect ACM within
the HA. ETN has collected at least the minimum number of samples based on the guidelines below.
The area of each HA has been approximated based on field measurements. Types of materials and
areas are listed below:
A. Surfacing Materials: up to 1,000 ft2 of material requires a minimum of three (3) samples; between
1,000 ft2 and 5,000 ft2 of material requires a minimum of five (5) samples; over 5,000 ft2
of material requires a minimum of seven (7) samples; one (1) sample of each patch
B. Thermal System Insulation (TSI): each homogeneous area requires a minimum of three (3)
samples; at least one (1) sample must be collected from each patch; and collect enough samples
sufficient to adequately assess the material and determine the asbestos content for TSI fittings
such as pipe elbows or T's.
C. Miscellaneous Materials: collect enough samples sufficient to determine the asbestos content.
6.5 Sample Characteristics
ETN inspectors classify sample materials based on friability and condition.
A sample may either be friable or non-friable. A friable material is defined by the EPA as "any
materials that can be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure when dry." By
contrast a non-friable material will withstand hand pressure.
Sample condition will describe the level to which, if at all, the sampled material is damaged at the
time of inspection.
- Good: Material with no visible damage or deterioration, or showing only very limited damage or
deterioration.
- Damaged: The surface is crumbling, blistered, water-stained, gouged, marred or otherwise abraded
over less than one-tenth of the surface if the damage is evenly distributed (one-quarter if the
damage is localized)
- Significant Damaged: One tenth of the surface crumbling, blistered, water-stained, gouged,
marred, deteriorated, showing adhesive failure or if material is hanging from the surface (one-
quarter if the damage is localized)
6.6 Laboratory Procedures
Bulk samples of suspect ACM were analyzed by Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM)with dispersion
staining, as described in 40 CFR Part 763 and the National Emissions Standard for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NESHAP). For analysis the samples were sent to a laboratory that is accredited by the
National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NAVLAP).
Samples containing more than 1% asbestos are regulated and must be remediated by a licensed firm.
Samples reported as "Trace" must be considered as containing over 1% asbestos unless it is re-
analyzed using a point count method which verifies it to contain less than 1% asbestos.
6.7 Untested Materials
Any potential ACM that is not explicitly listed in the inspection results and lab report is an untested
material. All such materials are assumed to be asbestos containing until they have been tested. This
includes layers of ACM material that are hidden at the time of the test, layers of ACM material which
are underneath the surface layers, areas outside the tested scope of work, and any other potential
ACM in the property. In the event that these ACM materials are discovered please contact ETN
immediately to have additional testing done prior to any disturbance. ETN is not responsible for
spills, cleanup, damages, or any other cost, or legal actions as a result of the disturbance of such ACM
materials.

8.0 Conclusion and Recommendations
ACM was identified in the residence within HA 1-2 of the scope of the limited inspection and bulk-sampling
performed on November 29th, 2015,therefore, according to OSHA standards professionally trained and
licensed abatement workers are required to remove or disturb the above-referenced sampled materials.
Be sure to isolate areas that contain ACM and prevent any disturbance of the materials. This includes any
overspray or other bits of material that may be found on other structural materials in the area of the
identified ACM. Turn off all air movement equipment and seal off all HVAC leading to or from the affected
areas.
If the ACM has been damaged or disturbed in any way it is necessary to immediately restrict access to the
space. Workers entering this area must wear all appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Shut
down any and all equipment in the affected area including air movement, dehumidification, and HVAC. Be
sure to check with certified HVAC contractor to prevent any damage caused by freezing in cold weather
environments. Lock the space and place appropriate signage on the exterior building or unit to prevent
unauthorized entry.
Take note of all layers and areas listed in Section 7.0 of this report and of the Lab Report in the Appendix.
Stop work and contact ETN prior to removing any materials not listed in this report. Likewise if the scope of
work is expanded after the time of testing, contact ETN prior to removing any materials in other areas of the
building. See Section 6.7 for further explanation.
If you need assistance in reading any portion of this report or in interpreting any of the results, please
contact your ETN inspector. We are happy to be of assistance.
If the asbestos containing materials (ACM) are disturbed in anyway that would constitute a minor spill.
Minor spill guidelines are included on the next page for you reference.
