2. Background
The Owner owns the real property at 13981 Quebec Street in Thornton, Colorado (Adams County
Parcel No. 0157120401001). The address of the project (13981 Quebec Street) refers to the
historical farm and agricultural outbuildings located in the northern portion of the real property
and is herein referred to as the "Aylor Property". The project area within the Aylor Property
consists of the northern approximately 35-acres of undeveloped, former agricultural land with an
abandoned farmhouse, several abandoned outbuildings, and ancillary structures. During due
diligence activities conducted by ERO and by DS Consulting, Inc. (DS Consulting) asbestos building
materials were identified within the structures as well as a Major Asbestos Spill, as defined under
Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE), Air Quality Control Division
(AQCD) Regulation No. 8, Part B, within and/or around the structures. In addition, because
several of the structures are structurally unsound, a variance request for the controlled
demolition of asbestos containing materials has been developed and approved by the CDPHE
AQCD for the safe abatement of materials within unsounds structures.
Site location maps are shown on Attachment A.
Detailed scope of work for asbestos abatement is described in Attachment B.
Detailed scope of work for post-abatement site demolition and removal activities is described in
Attachment C.
Additional project documents are included in Attachment D.
Project insurance requirements are described in Attachment E
