Asbestos testing and removal in Castle Pines
Castle Pines follows Colorado's state asbestos rules. Here is what's specific to Castle Pines, then the state rules every project has to meet.
What's specific to Castle Pines
- Castle Pines asks for asbestos test results — and clearance letters if anything was removed — with remodel or demolition permit applications, whatever the building's age.
- The city's guidance says material that tests above 1% asbestos must be abated.
The state rules that still apply
- Test first if you'll disturb more than 32 square feet of other surfaces, 50 linear feet of pipe or one 55-gallon drum in a house — and before any demolition.
- Crumbly asbestos above those amounts is removed by a state-certified abatement contractor under a state permit ($180–$420 for a house), after a 10-working-day notice.
- Demolition always needs a state demolition notice ($50 plus $5 for every 1,000 square feet demolished).
