Project # 6412.20
Inspection and Report by:
Century Environmental Hygiene, LLC

Fort Collins, CO 80524
Executive Summary
The property located at 750 University Drive, Estes Park, CO was inspected for Asbestos
Containing Materials (ACMs) prior to a water loss cleanup. Asbestos was found in the popcorn
ceiling texture and the orange peel wall texture. The drywall came back as OSHA-ACM. All
other materials sampled were Non-ACM. Any materials/areas not mentioned in this report
should be assumed ACM until sampled.
Purpose and Scope
The purpose of the inspection was to conduct an inspection and sampling of any suspect
materials prior to a remodel.
Methods
The inspection was performed on December 17th, 2019 by Paul Jaeckel a Certified Asbestos
Building Inspector (CDPHE # 830) of Century Environmental Hygiene, LLC (CEH) (ACF
14837). The survey was performed in accordance with protocols described in Regulation #8.
Homogeneous materials were determined by: 1) identifying a list of all materials suspected of
containing asbestos; 2) Classifying these materials as Surfacing, Thermal Systems, or
Miscellaneous material type; 3) Subdividing each material as necessary into Homogeneous
Materials based on color, texture, appearance and other observable factors; 4) identifying the
location(s) of each Homogeneous Material; 5) determining the quantity range of surfacing
materials (quantity range is <1000 SF, 1000-5000 SF, or over 5000 SF). Detailed measurements
are also included if so indicated in the proposal.
Methods for sampling were as described in Regulation 8. A minimum of 1-2 samples for each
Miscellaneous Homogeneous Material is collected. A minimum of 3 samples of each Thermal
System Homogenous Material is collected unless there are less than three linear or square feet of
such material in which case one sample per location is collected. A minimum of 3, 5 or 7
samples of each Surfacing Homogeneous Material were collected depending on the quantity
range identified. Samples are pseudo-randomly located except for surfacing materials which are
either located using a random sampling scheme as recommended in the EPA pink book, using
Table 2. Samples are assigned a unique sample number and submitted to a NVLAP accredited
lab under proper chain of custody for analysis by EPA methods for polarized light microscopy
((EPA-600/M4-82-020, 1982 and EPA-600/R-93/116, July 1993).
The assessment is performed by categorizing materials for friability, current damage, and type of
damage, but this information is only reported for materials that are found to be ACM.
Building Information
According to the Larimer County assessor the house was built in 1925 and remodeled in 1972. It
is approximately 630 sq. ft.
Findings
The popcorn ceiling texture found throughout the house came back as ACM (3/4% Chrysotile).
The orange peel wall texture found in the bedroom also came back as ACM (3% Chrysotile). The
drywall came back as OSHA-ACM, so OSHA procedures will need to be followed when removing
this material. The plaster found in the living room, dining room, and the bathroom came back as
Non-ACM. All material locations and sample results are provided in Table 1 (Appendix A).
Sample locations are provided in the sampling forms (Appendix C).

ACM-I/C = ACM that contains inconsistent results for the group of samples that characterize this material’s asbestos content. The material appeared to the Inspector during the inspection to be the same material type, but results
indicated that it wasn’t exactly the same. According to CDPHE rules, with 1 or more samples indicating asbestos being present, the whole group must be treated as ACM. Unless client performs relevant point counts and/or
additional sampling to further clarify the material’s asbestos content.
ACM = Asbestos-Containing Material. Samples according to AHERA quantities were collected and indicate the material contains over 1% asbestos and is defined by state and/or federal regulations as ACM. In some cases,
inconsistencies may occur (see lab report). For example, four out of five samples collected of this material type may contain asbestos and one did not. In this case, at client’s request, additional sampling might help determine if
the one sample represents a different material application in a sub-part of the area that is non-ACM. An example of when this can happen is when a building is textured, one room is remodeled later and a texture-to-match
existing is used.
Low % ACM. This material either contained a trace of asbestos, in which case it is ACM unless a Point Count (PC) analysis is performed and it is determined to be 1% or less asbestos by PC, or the material contained a low
percentage of asbestos e.g. 1-2% and a PC could still be performed and interpreted the same way. The client should consider requesting PC analysis of some or all samples to determine if the material may qualify as non-ACM.
(PC): If this term appears as a suffix, it indicates that Point Count analysis was employed and the Point Count results replaced the PLM result when the results were interpreted.
ACM-prog = ACM with progressive stop analysis. The material is ACM based on the results received, but not all of the samples were analyzed. Under progressive analysis, samples in a group are analyzed until one sample is
positive to keep within the project sample budget. At client’s request, additional samples can be analyzed to confirm that the material is homogeneous, although additional lab fees apply
Non-ACM indicates that at least the minimum numbers of required samples were analyzed for that type and quantity of material and that all samples indicated 1% or less asbestos so the material is classified by state and federal
agencies as non-ACM. Note that some OSHA requirements still apply if traces of asbestos are present.
P-ACM = Presumed ACM. This material can contain asbestos but was not sampled, and must be treated as ACM in accordance with state and/or federal regulations
OSHA-ACM. This material is considered ACM by OSHA but not by EPA/CDPHE because EPA and CDPHE allow joint compound used as filler at seams, edges, and screw holes etc. in drywall is not ACM if the composite of
the drywall and joint compound is 1% or less asbestos. Note that only a limited effort was made to determine if the material is used only at seams etc. and there is the possibility in parts of the building that a skim coat does
exist.
