This last week has had some very positive news. I met with the owner of the building early in the week. He had just hired a firm to remove the asbestos. In Colorado, the owner of a building with asbestos must usually contract with at least three different firms. One company does only the testing and safety procedures. A second removes the asbestos under the direction of the Department of Health. The third company restores the building for habitation. <\/p>\n
Part of the owner\u2019s delay had to do with the multiple firms and an even larger number of regulatory agencies. The owner expects the apartment building to be reopened for occupancy in mid-July of 2013.<\/p>\n
I was assured that the new firm would work with us to recover most of our inventory and that we would have the priority for their help. We then met with the removal company staff and received more good news. They have been through our areas and confirmed that most of our material can be recovered. This now includes most of our research material and notes. No price as yet.<\/p>\n
The remediation project leader will meet with us at the end of this next week and they intend to submit a cleanup plan to the Dept. of Health on October 18th. We should be able to start the recovery shortly after DOH approval is given. We will give you updates as we get information. <\/p>\n
The Total War sample included with this update is the Axis Initial Setup and OB for June II 41.<\/p>\n
