1.0 INTRODUCTION
Advanced Environmental Consulting, LLC (AEC) was retained to perform industrial hygiene services related to post-
asbestos abatement work area/containment visual inspection services at the above-referenced location.
Colorado Regulation No. 8 – Part B Section III.P, clearing an asbestos abatement project “applies to areas of public access
where the amount of asbestos-containing material (ACM) that will be abated exceeds the trigger levels.”
2.0 SITE DESCRIPTION AND PROJECT DETAILS
The asbestos visual clearance was conducted on January 15, 2020 at the above referenced location. The building is a
commercial property. AEC was responsible for consulting with the abatement representative, to ensure the abatement areas
(bathroom) and materials (under trigger level sheet vinyl) removed were understood so that inspection could be properly
performed.
3.0 FINAL VISUAL PROCEDURES
Upon completion of asbestos removal activities, a final visual inspection of the work area is required by the applicable
regulations. A certified air monitoring specialist (AMS) must visually inspect each work area to determine whether all dust
and debris has been removed. If the inspector notes any such dust or debris, or any other potential asbestos containing
materials (ACM) still on site, the abatement contractor is required to re-clean the work area until such time that the
inspecting AMS does not observe any such materials in the work area.
It was determined that the abatement contractor had properly cleaned the work area completely prior to the
inspection/clearance.
4.0 FINAL VISUAL CLEARANCE
Zachary Stubbs conducted the onsite visual inspection of the materials. Zachary Stubbs is a certified Colorado Department
of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) and Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) certified Air
Monitoring Specialist (AMS) (Certification Number 25336). AEC is a CDPHE certified Asbestos Consulting Firm
(Certification Number 20874).
It was determined that the abatement contractor had properly cleaned the work area completely and the inspecting AMS
required no further cleaning prior to the inspection.
5.0 COLORADO REG. NO. 8 – III.S.1 – RESILIENT FLOOR TILE & SHEET VINYL FLOORING
Based on CDPHE Regulation Number 8, Part B – Emission Standards for Asbestos, Section III.S.1 and Appendix B, there
are six (6) procedures that must be followed by contractors conducting asbestos abatement.
These procedures are:
Never sand any resilient floor or it’s backing to remove them from the floor;
Use a vacuum equipped with a HEPA filter, disposable dust bag, and metal floor attachment (no brush):
All sheet removal must be done using detergent solution;
All tile removal must be done by wetting (misting the tile prior to removal with a garden sprayer, except when heat
is being used for removal;
All felt scraping must be done wet;
Do not dry sweep;
Material removed must be placed in heavy-duty polyethylene bags at least 6-mil thick or in a closed leak-tight
container, properly labeled and disposed of in an authorized landfill.
It is recommended to have a third-party clearance conducted after removal of all non-regulated projects. All requirements
of Clearing Abatement Projects are optional, except that if air monitoring is performed, and the area has public access, the
maximum allowable asbestos level shall not be exceeded.
6.0 CONCLUSIONS
AEC provided asbestos abatement visual inspection/clearance services at the above-referenced location. A visual inspection
was conducted where ACM was removed. All surrounding areas were free of dust and debris; therefore, the area was properly
cleaned.
7.0 LIMITATIONS
