If you meet the States regulations for home owner primary residence provisions and choose to complete the abatement
your elf, then the Town requires a permit application (which you have applied for) and a State certified inspectors air
clearance report prior to issuing a building permit.

Good afternoon Sir,
Thanks for answering my questions on our call just now. I will be completing the demo and removal of the effected area
my self. I will have the air tested once the demo is complete to insure that the air quality meets the required standards
and provide this report to the building department for your approval.
I'm going to link the full text of Regulation 8, Part B, which is the controlling asbestos legislation in Colorado. Tip: this
linked document is fully searchable, so you can use ctrl+F to find keywords if you ever want to do so.

and Health Administration (OSHA) Regulation "Asbestos", 29
Homeowners do have options for doing work in their own home.
From section III.X. (EXEMPTIONS): "If you own a Single Family Residential Dwelling that is your primary residence and
you choose to do the abatement yourself, certification is not required."
III.G.5.b. The individual is performing the abatement project himself/herself in a single family residential dwelling that is
the individual's primary residence."
In the case where I am performing work in my own home, the only sections of Colorado's asbestos laws that I MUST
comply with are those contained in III.R (Waste Handling), which begins on page 49 of the linked regulation.The way the
regulation is written, as long as the asbestos hazard is confined to the inside my home,the state cannot intervene.
However,the material is considered hazardous waste, so once it leaves the protected envelope of your four walls and
goes out into the greater world, it constitutes a public health hazard unless stored,transported, and disposed of
properly at an approved landfill. I will follow the outlined in III.R.
Please confirm the receipt of this email and that I am okay to start demo and remove all other items such as plumbing
fixtures and framing if needed to abate the asbestos containing items.
Once again thank you for answering my questions and your help today on the phone.
Most Cordially,
Robert Kulikowski
