2.0) Executive Summary

City of Colorado Springs has authorized Colorado Environmental Solutions to perform alead-based paint inspection at the Detached Single Family Property(Single Unit) locatedat 3115 Michigan Ave Colorado Springs, CO 80910. Colorado Environmental Solutionstested all painted components according to the specifications described in the protocolsfor lead-based paint testing in Chapter 7 of the Housing and Urban Development (HUD)Guidelines (Revised 1997) for the inspection of lead based paint. In addition all Federal,State and Local regulations governing the inspection of lead-based paint were followed.The lead-based paint inspection was performed using a Niton XLp 300 X-rayfluorescence (XRF) analyzer. From the exterior of the property wall “A” is aligned withthe street and wall “B”, “C”, and “D” proceed clockwise around the exterior of the property. When testing the interior wall “A” in each room is the wall aligned with street.While facing wall “A”, wall “B” will always be to your right, wall “C” directly behind youand wall “D” to the left. Doors, windows and closets are designated as left, center or right depending on their location on the wall. In addition to a visual inspection of allpainted surfaces throughout the entire property a surface-by-surface XRF inspectionwas performed to determine which surfaces were deteriorated and/or contained lead-based paint.

3.0) Scope of Inspection

3.1) Background Information

The property is located at 3115 Michigan Ave Colorado Springs, CO 80910. It is anDetached Single Family Property(Single Unit) built in 1967 with 1620 total square feet.Colorado Environmental Solutions has been contracted by City of Colorado Springs toperform a lead-based paint inspection on the above referenced property to determinethe possible presence, condition, and location of lead-based paint. The inspection wasconducted on June 30, 2014 from 12:00pm to 12:30pm.

3.2) Training

Colorado Environmental Solutions is a certified evaluation firm in the state of Colorado(Certification # 17808). Matt Hothem, the inspector who performed the inspection is acertified Lead Inspector/Risk Assessor in the state of Colorado (Certification # 17807).Colorado Environmental Solutions inspectors have been trained in the use, calibrationand maintenance of the Niton XLp 300 X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) analyzer, along withthe principles of radiation safety.

3.3) Methods

Inspections are done using the inspection protocol in Chapter 7 of the Housing of UrbanDevelopment (HUD) Guidelines for the Evaluation and Control of Lead-Based PaintHazards in Housing (1997 Revision) as well as all other Federal, State and Localguidelines. Testing is done using a Niton XLp 300 X-Ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzerbearing serial # of 25987 and a source date of 1/28/2011. The calibration of the XRFanalyzer is done in accordance with the Performance Characteristic Sheet (PCS) for theinstrument. The X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) instruments are calibrated using a NationalInstitute of Standards and Technology (NIST) calibration sample closet to 1.0 mg/cm2of lead content. Three calibration readings are taken before and after each inspection toinsure manufacturer’s standards are met. In addition three calibrations readings mustbe taken every four hours during an inspection. If for any reason the instrument is notmaintaining a consistent calibration reading within the manufacturer’s standards theanalyzer is sent back to the manufacturer for repair.

4.0) Findings

4.1) Lead-based paint inspection results

Colorado Environmental Solutions has determined that the components highlighted inyellow of Appendix B/XRF Data sheets contain lead in amounts greater than or equal to 1.0mg/cm2.

4.2) Visual Assessment Results

The visual assessment identified the following:Deteriorated paint....................................................................................................... YesPainted surfaces that are chewable, impact surfaces or friction surfaces..................YesBare soil (soil surface that is not covered by pavement, sod or landscaping)............YesExcessive accumulation of dust on most interior surfaces ...........................................No

5.0) Conclusions

The components highlighted in yellow that are in Appendix B/XRF Results were

found “positive” for lead, as defined by the EPA and HUD as containing lead in

concentrations equal to or greater than 1.0 mg/cm2.

5.1) Lead Positive Findings and Stabilization Recommendations

a. Findings

Colorado Environmental Solutions found the components listed below to have a Leadcontent above the limit of 1.0 mg/cm2 as defined by the EPA and HUD.

READING COMPONENT SIDE SUBSTRATE COLOR ROOM CONDITION DESC. FLOOR RESULTS XFR RESULT

283 SHWR WALL C CONCRETE BEIGE BATHROOM INTACT Positive 1.8

b. Recommendations

The components listed above tested Positive for Lead-based Paint and are in INTACT condition; therefore, stabilization of the components listed above is not recommended atthis time. Colorado Environmental Solutions recommends the prospective owner have ongoing monitoring every 6 months to ensure a hazard does not become present.Please note: if the components listed above are disturbed an any way including but notlimited to; renovation, demolition, and modernization a hazard will become present andColorado Environmental Solutions recommends stabilizing the positive componentsutilizing “Lead Safe Work Practices” as outlined in The Lead Safe Housing Rule 24 CFRPart 35 as amended June 21, 2004.

5.2) Conclusions

According to Chapter 7 HUD guidelines, if one testing combination (i.e. window, door) ispositive for lead in an interior or exterior room equivalent, then all other similar testingcombinations in those areas are also assumed to be positive for lead. Likewise, thesame is true for negative readings. All inaccessible areas are assumed to be positiveeven though they were not tested.

Given that the lead evaluation results indicate the presence of lead-based paint, theprospective owner may wish to obtain, at the owner’s expense, additional services of alead-based paint inspector or risk assessor, certified for the state in which the propertyis located, to help understand the positive results. This inspector would review the reportprovided by the Colorado Environmental Solutions and might reevaluate any area(s) inquestion and/or additional areas, and might make additional recommendations aboutlead hazard control actions. In addition the owner may wish to obtain additional servicesfrom a lead-based paint risk assessor to help explain how to address the positivefindings in developing the paint stabilization plan that would result in the reduction ofhazards.

This evaluation was completed in accordance with Lead Safe Housing Rule 24 CFRPart 35 subpart F as amended (2004). These evaluation methods can include direct

observation, immediate provision of results, repeated testing, and time-and-motionanalysis.

Those components which were found to contain LBP and which were in intact conditionshould be monitored by the owner of the dwelling; any further deterioration ofcomponents or components that are already in poor condition should undergo correctiveaction to mitigate any potential hazards. In addition, some painted surfaces may containlevels of lead below 1.0 mg/cm2; these components could create lead dust or leadcontaminated soil hazards if the paint is turned into dust by abrasion, scraping, sandingor friction. If conditions of intact paint surfaces become destabilized, these conditionswill need to be addressed in the future. If any construction or modernization work isdone on the premises, this report should be given to the contractors, as well as to anyfuture tenants.

In compliance with HUD’s Final Rule, potential hazards resulting from LBP must besubjected to corrective action to stabilize all deteriorated LBP in housing built before1978, unless the property is exempt. Paint stabilization repairs any defect in thesubstrate and/or in building components that are causing the paint deterioration,removes all loose paint and other material from the surface to be treated utilizing leadsafe work practices, and, in most cases, applies a new protective coating or paint. Anystabilization/construction activities that affect the existing paint films (including sandingand demolition) must be initiated by workers who have received proper training in thehandling of lead-contaminated materials.

Colorado Environmental Solutions recommends stabilizing the positive componentsutilizing “Lead Safe Work Practices” as outlined in The Lead Safe Housing Rule 24 CFRPart 35 as amended June 21, 2004. In order for paint stabilization methods to besuccessful, components must be dry, structurally sound, and waterproof. Interim controlmeasures on friction or impact surfaces, such as windows and doors, may lead to rapidtreatment failure. It is the contractor’s responsibility to follow all city, state and federalregulations when performing Lead Hazard Reduction Activities. All quantities are estimates. It is the contractor’s responsibility to confirm all quantities and conditions.

6.0) Disclosure Responsibility

A copy of this report must be provided to new lessees (tenants) and purchasersof this property under Federal Law (24 CFR part 35 and 40 CFR part 745) beforethey become obligated under a lease or sales contract. The complete report mustalso be provided to new purchasers and it must be made available to newtenants. Landlords (lessors) and sellers are also required to distribute aneducational pamphlet and include standard warning language in their leases orsales contracts to ensure that children and pregnant women are protected fromlead-based paint (LBP) hazards

7.0) Disclaimers

This is our report of a visual survey, and X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) analysis ofthe readily accessible areas of this building and tested components. Thepresence or absence of lead-based paint (LBP) or lead-based paint hazardsapplies only to the tested or assessed surfaces on the date of the field visit and itshould be understood that conditions might change due to deterioration ormaintenance. The results and material conditions noted within this report wereaccurate at the time of the inspection and in no way reflect the conditions at theproperty after the date of the inspection. Ongoing monitoring by the owner isusually necessary. No other environmental concerns were addressed during thisinspection.

The results of this inspection are only applicable to the dwelling inspected on thedate(s) indicated and further activities at the dwelling may alter the results.

Those surfaces that do not contain lead-based paint at or above the federal, state,or local standards may still pose a hazard if disturbed.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Lead in ConstructionStandard states that “negative” readings (i.e. those below the HUD/EPA definitionof what constitutes LBP [1.0 mg/cm2]) do not relieve contractors from performingexposure assessments (personal air monitoring) on their employees per theOSHA Lead Standard, and should not be interpreted as lead free. Although areading may indicate “negative”, airborne lead concentrations still may exceedthe OSHA Action Level or the OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) dependingon the work activity.
