INTRODUCTION
On March 28, 1996, three bulk samples we reicollected o£ suspected asbestos
containing materials at Pomegranite Condos, 39100 Hwy 82, #E5, Aspen,
Colorado. The suspect material consists of sheetrock walls in the condo
that are planned for demolition.
The inspection was made and the samples were collected by John R. Peterman,
an A.H.E.R.A. and State of Colorado certified Building Inspector. Great
care was taken during the inspection and sampling to be as accurate as
possible. It should be noted that minimal damage was done to the existing
building structures during the inspection so there is no documentation for
unseen conditions or stored items.
All samples were analyzed by DCM Science Lab in Lakewood, Colorado. This
laboratory is deemed "Proficient" in the E.P.A. Quality Assurance (QA)
program for the determination of asbestos in bulk materials, and is
accredited by the American Hygiene Association (AIHA).
SAMPLING PROTOCOL
A random sampling scheme was used to sample the suspect materials that were
discovered. Great care was used to observe all possible areas, however, it
is impossible to be certain that every possible source is discovered. It is
the belief of the Inspector that all observable sources were noted and
sampled. If during any future demolition or renovation work suspect
material is discovered and would be disturbed, work should be halted until
the material has been tested. If work will disturb materials greater than
160 sq.ft., 260 ln, ft. or the volume equivalent of one 55 gal. drum,
additional sampling of the area would be required as per Colorado Regulation
8.
Renovation Area DesCYlptiOri:
The Pomegranite Condominiums Complex consists of several individual units
located at 39100 Hwy 82, Aspen, Colorado. Unit #E5 is the unit that the
survey/inspection was conducted in. The area that will be impacted by
planned renovation work is a wall and closets between two bedrooms in the
Northwest corner of the condo. At the requestof the owner, the
inspection/survey was confined to the renovation area. The walls to be
demolished consist of taped sheetrock with no texture. At the owners
request the samples were randomly collected inside the closets to minimize
the visual impact of the sampling. The ceilings in the effected areas is
exposed beam with tongue and grove exposed ceiling boards. The floors in
the effected area are carpeted.
A total of three composite sheetrock bulk samples were collected from the
area and submitted for laboratory analysis. The Laboratory Analysis
indicates that the composite sheetrock samples do contain asbestos that is
less than the Regulatory Limit (Greater than 196 asbestos)..
Conclusions and Recommendations:
The laboratory analysis of the composite sheetrock samples indicates that
the samples contain asbestos that is less than the Regulatory Limit (Greater
than 19e). The original analysis of the samples was done by PLM (Polarized
Light Microscopy) as per Regulatory Requirements the positive PLM. Samples
were re-analyized by Point Count Analysis which is more accurate than PLM.
The point count analysis verified that the asbestos content of the samples
was indeed less than the Regulatory Limits.
Based on current Regulations, the sheetrock partitions can be removed
without using asbestos abatement work practices. This is provided that the
joint mud is not sanded or impacted on exclusively. However, the OSHA
Regulations that require that unprotected workers not be exposed to airborne
asbestos fibers is still in place. -

BUIk Sample Analysis
BULK SAMPLE ANALYSIS PROCEDURES:
DCM Science Laboratory, Inc. analyzes bulk asbestos samples following procedures developed by the
McCrone Research Institute and in compliance with guidelines established by the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA-600/R-93/116, July, 1993).
Bulk samples are prepared for analysis using a 10X-80X stereo microscope in a hepa filter hood which
provides a contamination -free environment. The sample is then analyzed by polarized light microscopy
(PLM) at 100X. When the sample consists of more than one layer, each layer is prepared and analyzed
separately. Fiber and matrx materials are identified by the characterization of optical properties including
color and pleochlrorism, form, cleavage, relief, birefringence, extinction, orientation, twinning, interference
figure and other distinguishing features. Dispersion staining is also used to further aid in mineral
identification. All percentages of asbestos, other fibers and non -fibrous constituents are calculated from the
values obtained from the stereo and PLM microscopes analysis. In-house and NIST standards as well as a
chart prepared by R.D. Terry and G.V. Chilinger for "The Journal of Sedimentary Petrology", (Vollume 24, pp.
229-2341 1955) provide a guide for estimating percentages. All samples are archived for six months unless
other arrangements are made by the client.

QUANTITATIVE BULK SAMPLE ANALYSIS
(POINT COUNT)
QUANTITATIVE BULK SAMPLE ANALYSIS PROCEDURES:
DCM Science Laboratory, Inc. analyzes bulk samples in accordance with the National
Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Asbestos (Federal
Register, Vol. 55, No. 224, pp. 48406-48433, 11/20/90). The analytical procedures
followed are described in "Interim Method for the Determination of Asbestos in Bulk
Insulation Samples", ( USEPA 600/M4-83-020, 1982), with minor modifications
recommended by the Atmospheric Research and Exposure Assessment laboratory, USF.FA,
Research Triangle Park, N.C.
P
Samples analyzed by the point count method are milled to homogenize tl-ie samp e,
€ prepared on microscope slides and point counted using polarized light microscopy
¢ (PLM) in conjunction with a point counting stage and counter. Four hundred counts
are performed on a single preparation of the sample. If asbestos is identified but
not counted during the point counting procedure, total asbestos is reported as zero
and presence is noted on the report. Other preparation procedures including asking
and acid washing may be performed with client permission to improve accuracy in
determining asbestos concentration.
All samples are archived for six months unless other arrangements are made by the
client.
ACCREDITATION:
DCMSL is accredited by the AIHA (since 1986). Our accreditation number is 305. UCMSL
was accredited by NVLAP (since April 1, 1989), Our NVLAP Lab Code is 101258.
