EXECUTIVE SUMMARY On December 15, 2014, at the request of a potential buyer, a property assessment for the presence of methamphetamine was conducted at 1809 Lydia Drive, Lafayette, CO 80026 (the subject property) by Weecycle Environmental Consulting, Inc. (WEC). The WEC employee was not authorized to do such assessments and virtually no aspect of State regulations was followed, and therefore, the assessment performed by WEC at this property was unlawful. During the unlawful assessment, the unauthorized consultant identified trace levels of methamphetamine at the property. Forensic Applications Consulting Technologies, Inc. (FACTs) was subsequently contracted to perform a legitimate “full clearance assessment” as specified in Section 6 of the State regulations. That assessment indicated the presence of methamphetamine contamination in excess of the regulatory limits in eight areas of the subject property. Between the dates of December 31, 2014 and January 14, 2015, Crystal Clean Decontamination performed decontamination services at the property. On January 14, 2014, FACTs performed a post-decontamination assessment as mandated in State Regulation 6 CCR 1014-3. Based on the totality of circumstances, FACTs concludes: • An illegal drug laboratory, as defined in Colorado Revised Statutes,§25-18.5-101(8) existed at the property since at least December 15, 2014, until the receipt of the post decontamination samples. • Based on the clearance sampling at the subject property in accordance with 6 CCR 1014-3, Part 1, § 6, the cleanup standards established by 6 CCR 1014-3, Part 1, § 7 have been met.

• Clearance sampling was performed and this report was prepared by Mr. Caoimhín P. Connell, Forensic Industrial Hygienist with FACTs. Mr. Connell was assisted in the field by Ms. Christine Carty, 1 President of FACTs. • This final “Post-Decontamination Report” includes a variety of other documents found on the digital disc that accompanies this report. The disc is an integral part of the report and contains, by reference, many of the required elements for a final report.

Subject Structure For the purposes of 6 CCR 1014-3, the property is a 2,132 square foot property not including a 630 square foot attic, and a second 484 square foot attic above the garage. During the performance of the December 22, 2014 Preliminary Assessment, public records from the Assessor’s Office were ambiguous which lead to ambiguities in GPS,

GIS and other directional services. As such, based on the best information available, FACTs presented aerial photographs of the structure. Based on more accurate information, we believe the structures thus depicted were incorrect. Therefore, we are correcting the Preliminary Assessment aerial photograph with the following aerial photograph which we believe properly depicts the correct structure.

General Site Layout2 Although only eight areas in the property required decontamination, the contractor elected to isolate only three compliant areas and clean all remaining areas. The three compliant areas that were isolated were: 1) Force air furnace system 2) Attic above garage 3) Attic above residence All other areas not listed above were cleaned.

REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS

County Requirements Boulder County, CO adopted Ordinance 2006-1 concerning methamphetamine contamination in vehicles and structures. Certain aspects of the Boulder County ordinance are contrary to State requirements and the county ordinance creates some conflicts with state regulations. In any event, Boulder County does not enforce State or County Regulations, and actively condones violations of statutes and regulations, both criminal and civil and will not be considered further.

Governing Body For this property, jurisdiction for the abatement of the public nuisance lies with the office of the “Governing Body.” The property lies within Boulder County, and pursuant to CRS §25-18.5-101(7), the office of the “Governing Body” is: Michael Richen, CIH Boulder County Public Health Administration/Environmental Health Site 3450 Broadway Boulder, CO 80304

SAMPLE COLLECTION

Wipe Samples The collection of the samples was performed as described in Section 6 of 6 CCR 1014-3. Exclusively discrete samples were collected for this property with the exception of the forced air system which must, by regulation, (§6.7.1.1.) be a composite sample.


The sample locations were identified by the Industrial Hygienist based on regulatory requirements, which disallow valid standard Industrial Hygiene decision making processes. As such, since the sampling is designed to satisfy regulatory requirements, FACTs cannot guarantee the validity or appropriateness of the samples or their results, and the samples are interpreted exclusively within the context of the regulations. The wipe sample medium was commercially available cotton-poly mixed wipes impregnated with USP isopropyl alcohol. Each proposed sample area was delineated with a measured outline, in compliance with §6.2.2. The wipe samples were collected by methodically wiping the entire surface of the selected area with moderate pressure; first in one direction and then in the opposite direction, folding the gauze to reveal fresh material as necessary. The samples were returned to their independent centrifuge tube and capped with a screw-cap.

Methamphetamine Analysis The wipe samples were submitted under the special regulatory chain-of-custody for analysis to Reservoirs Environmental Laboratories in Denver, CO for analysis by GCMS.3 The special regulatory chain-of-custody is not a normal chain of custody but rather contained the additional regulatory requirements found in Sections §6.2.14.1 through §6.2.14.12

QA/QC Precautions The regulations prohibit the application of standard scientifically valid Industrial Hygiene QA/QC methodologies, and therefore, FACTs employed the mandatory regulatory QA/QC provisions instead.

Field Blanks Field blanks were collected and submitted for analysis pursuant to the requirements of the regulations (which are contrary to good sampling practices). The utility of fields blanks, collected pursuant to State regulations is no longer valid, unless the results are below detection limits. Under normal, standard sampling environmental protocols, there are various types of “blanks.” The purpose of the field blank is to determine if the sampling materials and the handling procedures contributed to the presence of any contaminant identified. According to the new State regulations (Section 6.2.12.1), however, the Industrial Hygienist is required by regulations to open and expose the field blank in a contaminated property, and literally wave the sampling materials around in the potentially contaminated air. Therefore, if contaminant is identified in the field blanks, one would never know if the reported contamination was due to tainted sampling materials and poor handling, or if the reported contamination was the result of

3 The laboratory essentially uses the NIOSH Method 9106 “METHAMPHETAMINE and Illicit Drugs, Precursors and Adulterants on Wipes by Liquid-Liquid Extraction”


contamination after the blank had been exposed to/coming into contact with contamination while opening the field blank in a contaminated property and waving the sampling materials around in the potentially contaminated air. Similarly, pursuant to State regulations, the Industrial Hygienist is required to make every 11th sample and the last sample a field blank. In this way the ability to submit surreptitious blanks to check the laboratory efficacy is lost.

Field Spikes Field spikes are used to evaluate the laboratories ability to properly recover analyte from the samples, and to evaluated the parameter of “bias,” as well as accuracy and precision. However, the regulations state:

§3.7.6.3 … Spiked samples submitted for analysis shall not be used for purposes of compliance with the regulation.

Since the regulatory sampling protocol is not scientifically based, but is based on meeting arbitrary regulatory parameters, no statement regarding bias, precision or accuracy can be made outside of the claims of the laboratory itself. Therefore, no further interpretation is attempted. All other QA/QC considerations are provided in the accompanying laboratory report without interpretation.

Cross Contamination Prior to entering the property, the Industrial Hygienist and his Technician donned disposable Tyvek booties. Prior to the collection of each specific sample, a fresh pair of surgical gloves was donned to protect against the possibility of cross contamination. The pliable ruler used to measure each surface area was decontaminated with a single-use disposable alcohol wipe between samples; alternatively for some samples, single use disposal painter’s tape was applied to delineate the sampling area.

Sample Locations In the following drawings, FACTs has presented the locations of the Clearance Assessment samples. In the Preliminary Assessment, the compass directions were determined using the information on GIS sources. As a result, the compass directions in the drawings of the PA were erroneously rotated 90° clockwise. The compass directions in the following drawings are corrected. In the following figures, shaded sample indicators (triangles) indicate the samples collected during the initial sampling phase on December 22, 2014.

Sample Results The state regulations appear to have been written without editorial assistance so that even the word “methamphetamine “ was misspelled on official documents;4 one of the requirements of these regulations (§3.7.6.3) is that “…sample results shall be presented as reported by the analytical laboratory, and shall not be adjusted, changed, or manipulated in any way.” Therefore, for the purposes of meeting this requirement, the following figure is presented:

Figure 8

January 14, 2015 Sample Results Pursuant to §3.7.6.3 Obviously, however, in order to know which sample came from where, and compare the sample results with regulatory levels, at some point the sample results must be converted to units that are germane to the regulations. Therefore, in the following table, we have presented the data in units germane to the interpretation of the same for comparison against State levels. State regulations no longer permit an Industrial Hygiene interpretation of the data, and none is presented. The shaded samples were those clearance samples collected on December 22, 2014. All results are in µg/100cm2 unless otherwise indicated.

Section 3 Project Overview BuildSafe Environmental, Ltd. (BuildSafe) was contracted by the client to perform a

limited repair/renovation specific asbestos inspection (inspection) at the above referenced

“Site Address”. The inspection was conducted by an Environmental Protection Agency

(EPA) accredited and Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE)

certified Asbestos Building Inspector. The inspection was performed at the direction of

the client and only includes those materials, locations, and quantities specified in the

“Homogenous Areas in Work Scope Table”.

The client is planning repair/renovation activities that will disturb suspect Asbestos

Containing Building Materials (ACBM) within the repair/renovation affected areas at the

Site Address. CDPHE Air Quality Control Commission Regulation No. 8, Part B – Asbestos

(Reg 8) requires that all suspect ACBMs be properly inspected and sampled by certified

personnel prior to conducting any repair/renovation activities that will disturb the suspect

ACBMs. All samples were analyzed by a laboratory accredited under the National

Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP). The CDHPE has established the

following trigger levels for different types of properties, which specify how suspect and

confirmed ACBMs are inspected and subsequently abated:

With regard to single-family residential dwellings (SFRD), the trigger levels are

50 LF on pipes, 32 SF on other surfaces, or the volume equivalent of a 55-gallon

drum

With regard to all areas other than SFRDs, the trigger levels are 260 LF on pipes,

160 SF on other surfaces, or the volume equivalent of a 55-gallon drum

The purpose of the inspection was to identify, visually inspect, and sample all suspect

ACBMs, at the direction of the client, which may be disturbed during the course of the

repair/renovation work.

Section 4 Asbestos Inspection Procedure

The inspection procedure was conducted in accordance with EPA Asbestos Hazard and

Emergency Response Act (AHERA), CDPHE Reg 8, and applicable Occupational Safety

and Health Administration (OSHA) guidelines and regulations. These regulations specify

requirements and protocols for conducting asbestos inspections, sample analysis, and

asbestos abatement.

4.1 Suspect Asbestos Containing Building Materials

Homogenous Material Types

The inspection involved identification and sampling of suspect ACBMs in the areas

established by the client that would be part of the scope of work. Suspect ACBMs were

grouped into homogenous materials based on color, texture, and date of application.

Homogenous materials were given distinct codes (CDW01, FTC02, TS05, etc.) based on

the type sequence of the homogenous material. Details about the size, color, condition,

friability, quantity, location within each functional space and other important details for

each homogenous material were reported as part of the inspection. Homogenous

materials are grouped into one of three categories based on intended use:

1. Surfacing Material – material that is sprayed on, troweled on, or otherwise

applied to surfaces, such as acoustical plaster on ceilings and fireproofing materials

on structural members, or other materials on surfaces for acoustical, fireproofing,

or other purposes.

2. Thermal System Insulation – material applied to pipes, fittings, boilers,

breeching, tanks, ducts, or other interior structural components to prevent heat

loss or gain, or water condensation, or for other purposes.

3. Miscellaneous Materials – interior building material on structural components,

structural members or fixtures, such as floor and ceiling tiles, and does not include

surfacing material or thermal system insulation.

Homogenous Material Friability

Each homogenous material was given one of the three following friability categories

defined by the EPA and CDPHE:

1. Friable Material – materials that can be crumbled or reduced to powder by hand

pressure.

2. Category I Non-friable Material – materials that cannot be crumbled or

reduced to powder by hand pressure including resilient floor coverings, gaskets,

packing materials and asphalt impregnated roofing materials.

3. Category II Non-friable Materials – all other materials that cannot be

crumbled or reduced to powder by hand pressure that do not include category I

non-friable materials.

Homogenous Material Condition

Each homogenous material was given one of three condition categories based on visual

observation defined by the EPA and CDPHE:

1. Good Condition – No visible signs of damage were observed during the

inspection.

2. Damaged Condition – Visible signs of damage less than ten percent spread over

the entire material or twenty five percent localized.

3. Significantly Damaged Condition – Severe damage greater than ten percent

spread over the entire material or twenty five percent localized.

4.2 Sampling and Laboratory Analysis

Sample Collection

Bulk samples of each suspect homogenous material were collected randomly throughout

the homogenous material area within the scope of work. Bulk samples were sampled all

of the way through the material so that all associated layers within each homogenous

material are represented. Bulk samples were placed in closeable sample bags and then

labeled with a permanent marker with distinct sample identifiers (e.g., CDW1-1, FTC2-1,

MISC2-3, etc.) for transport to the laboratory. Sample locations and photographs of the

homogenous materials were also collected at this time during the inspection. Sample

quantities of each homogenous material were collected based on material type and

quantity detailed in the following table as required by regulation:

Homogenous Material

>5,000 SF

Thermal System Insulation Each Material

Patch < 6 LF, SF

Miscellaneous Material Each Material 1

Laboratory Sample Analysis

Bulk samples were submitted to the laboratory along with a completed chain of custody

form to the above listed NVLAP accredited laboratory for analysis by polarized light

microscopy (PLM) techniques per EPA methodology (EPA-600/M4-82-020, Dec. 1982).

Microscopic visual estimation was used in obtaining the percentage of asbestos within

each layer of the bulk samples.

Asbestos Containing Building Materials

EPA and CDPHE both define an asbestos containing building material (ACBM) as a

material which has an asbestos content of greater than one percent. In the event that a

friable material is estimated to contain “trace” or between zero-to-one percent, that

material must undergo a point-count analysis by the laboratory to confirm that the

material is trace asbestos-containing. Further, if a point count analysis is performed on a

bulk sample, the point count result takes precedence over the visual estimation result.

See appendix A for laboratory report and chain of custody documents.

Section 5

Conclusion

BuildSafe has performed a limited repair/renovation specific asbestos inspection of the

home/facility located at the Site Address. Through visual inspection and laboratory

analysis of bulk samples collected at the Site Address, BuildSafe recommends hiring a

certified general asbestos abatement contractor to remove any ACBMs that may have

been identified within the scope of work. All inspection activities were conducted at the

direction of the client and only include those materials, quantities and locations detailed

in sections 1 and 2 of this report. See sections 1 and 2 of this report for information

regarding inspection scope of work, suspect ACBMs, confirmed ACBMs, sample

information and laboratory analysis results.

5.1 Limitations

General Comments and Limitations

Reasonable effort was made by BuildSafe to locate and sample accessible suspect ACBMs

within the scope of work. However, for any structure, the existence of unique or

concealed suspect ACBMs is a strong possibility. BuildSafe only inspected and collected

suspect ACBM bulk samples in the repair/renovation areas at the direction of the client.

This limited repair/renovation asbestos inspection report is not considered a

comprehensive asbestos inspection report and is only valid for the materials and locations

detailed in sections 1 and 2 of this report.

Should further repair/renovation work expand outside of materials and locations listed in

sections 1 and 2 of this report, those locations must be properly inspected and sampled

by qualified personnel prior to disturbance of suspect ACBMs. Any subsequent abatement

of ACBMs must be performed in accordance with all federal, state and local regulations

pertaining to abatement, transport, and disposal of ACBMs.

The asbestos inspection was conducted in a manner consistent with the level of care and

skill exercised by professionals of the asbestos inspection profession. The results,

findings, conclusions and recommendations expressed in this report are based on

conditions observed during our limited inspection of the repair/renovation areas. The

information contained in this report is relevant to the date on which this survey was

performed, and should not be relied upon to represent conditions at a later date. This

report has been prepared on behalf of and exclusively for use by the client for specific

application to the project as discussed. Contractors or consultants reviewing this report

must draw their own conclusions regarding further investigation or remediation deemed

necessary. BuildSafe does not warrant the work of regulatory agencies, laboratories or

other third-parties supplying information which may have been used in the preparation

of this report. No warranty, express or implied is made.
