Boulder County Updates: Flood Clean Up and Asbestos removal

1.      The Environmental Protection Agency has waived the need to have asbestos testing done before debris is removed from damaged property.  This is hugely important and will allow the cleanup to go much faster and at much less cost.   I will send out an extensive FEMA Q & A sheet a bit later – it is of great help as well.

2.       BARHA member Appraiser Bill Kamin has passed along this info:  I have had numerous calls from people wanting to order an appraisal of their property in order to establish damages for tax purposes. In most cases, this is not necessary. In most cases, the actual cost of cleanup and repairs is the measure of loss.

3.       Longmont has opened a separate website for flood related info at www.LongmontOEM.com

4.       Please DO NOT put mud or silt into the Western Dumpsters – only debris.amage around Boulder County uneven. Some areas had no significant problems, others were pretty much devastated. Surely one of the worst aspects of the flood is the mix of sewage and storm water.
Important information just came out re asbestos mediation.
