1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

ABI Hazmat Corp. (ABI) was retained by Ministry of Transportation & Infrastructure, to

perform a Pre-Demolition Hazardous and Regulated Materials Survey. The hazardous

materials survey was conducted for the Grube Pit Trailer #380, located at in Chase, BC.

The survey was conducted on September 30,2019 by Ms. Sue Servia Environmental

Technologist EPT. Ms. Servia has completed the AHERA Certification Course required

by WorkSafeBC to conduct Hazmat Surveys.

The objective of the assessment was to identify the types, condition and extent of

hazardous materials that would be impacted during the demolition of the building. The

building is a wood frame approximately 624sq. ft. trailer, with a sheet metal roof and

siding. Trailer main construction Steel transport beams.

It was noted during the inspection of the north facing exterior wall of the trailer, that a

significant impact had occurred in the mid section of the north facing wall. ABI would

recommend that should an abatement take place within the trailer, that the structure be

surveyed by a structural engineer to insure stability of the trailer prior to abatement

commencement. (See Site Photos in Appendix C)

The survey was conducted using both visual and physical assessment techniques.

Samples of materials suspected of containing asbestos and collected include vinyl sheet

floor and drywall joint compounds. In total, five (5) suspect asbestos building material

samples were collected from the building to be analyzed for asbestos content. Three

(3) lead paint samples were collected from the interior of the building. Paint containing

lead greater than the laboratory limit of detection (>20mg/kg or ppm) is considered Lead

Based Paint according to the new WorkSafeBC May 2017 Publication.

Suspect asbestos containing samples were collected and submitted to Coast BC

Hazmat Inspections Inc. to be analyzed in accordance with the WorkSafeBC

Occupational Health & Safety Regulations and/or the National Institute of Occupational

Health and Safety (NIOSH) analytical methods. Suspect asbestos bulk sample results

are in Appendix A of this report. Suspect Lead in Paint/Coatings results are in Appendix

B of this report.

The building was also inspected for possible PCB (polychlorinated biphenyls) containing

fluorescent light ballasts, mercury containing thermostat switches, RCS (respirable

crystalline silica) and other hazardous materials during the inspection.

In summary, the findings from the assessment conclude that asbestos containing

materials are present in the construction materials of the trailer building. These

materials are present in quantities of significance and are of concern to any

contractor involved in the renovations of the building.

Asbestos containing Yellow Vinyl Sheet Flooring was discovered, hidden, under

newer flooring, through-out the washroom and office areas of the building.

All lead paint samples were found to have lead levels ranging from 189 ppm to

520 ppm, above the laboratory LOD (Limit of Detection) of 20 mg/kg or ppm (parts

per million).

Mercury vapour may exist within the fluorescent lighting bulbs of the lighting

fixtures, located in the in the office debris pile and office ceiling area of the

building.

Suspect – PCB ballasts were observed in the debris pile and office ceiling fixtures

building.

Ozone-Depleting Substances (ODS) are suspect due to a small HVAC and boiler

system observed in the Washroom area of the trailer.

materials survey was conducted for the Grube Pit Trailer #380, located at in Chase, BC.

The survey was conducted on September 30, 2019, BC. by Ms. Sue Servia

Environmental Technologist EPT and AHERA Certified building inspector for ABI

Hazmat Corporation.

Section 20.112 of the BC OH&S Regulation details the requirements that employers

and owners are responsible for before beginning work on the demolition, renovation

or salvage of machinery, equipment, buildings, or structures. The employer or owner

must inspect the site to identify any asbestos, lead and/or other potentially hazardous

materials that may be handled, disturbed, or removed through renovations.

The objective of the assessment was to identify the types, condition and extent of

hazardous materials that would be impacted during the demolition of the building. The

building exterior is plywood and sheet metal and interior walls were observed to be

constructed of wood panel materials. The majority of the flooring was constructed of

vinyl sheet flooring with a plywood substrate.

The survey was conducted using both visual and physical assessment techniques. In

total, five (5) suspect asbestos building material samples were collected from the

building to be analyzed for asbestos content.

Samples of suspect asbestos were collected and submitted to Coast BC Hazmat

Inspections Inc. to be analyzed in accordance with the WorkSafeBC Occupational

Health & Safety Regulations and the National Institute of Occupational Health and

Safety (NIOSH) analytical methods. Suspect asbestos bulk sample results are included

in Appendix A of this report.

Regulation. Additionally, and to ensure adequate coordination of the overall plan,

the employer must ensure that it is administered by a properly trained person.

Section 6.4 – ACM Inventory

For this section of the BC OH&S Regulation, the employer must ensure that a qualified

person collects representative samples of the materials in the workplace that the

qualified person suspects contain asbestos, and, through appropriate analysis and

professional judgment, determines whether each of the samples is an ACM.

This section of the BC OH&S Regulation also states that if a qualified person suspects

that an inaccessible material contains asbestos, the material must be treated as

asbestos-containing material unless a qualified person determines that it is not ACM.

WorkSafeBC Manual - Safe Handling of Asbestos, A Manual of Standard Practices

This manual outlines basic information on asbestos and asbestos products, health

hazards requirements for worker protection, safe work procedures and principles that

should be followed in selecting the most suitable technique for the safe abatement

of ACM. This document provides a guide to current practices that are to be followed

in the Province of British Columbia.

3.1.5 Lead & Lead-Based Coatings

(LBCs) Sections 6.59 to 6.69 – Lead

These sections of the BC OH&S Regulation describe specific requirements to:

• Develop and implement an exposure control plan if workers are or may be

exposed to lead;

• Conduct air monitoring if workers are at risk of overexposure to airborne

lead in a construction project;

• Post warning signs at the boundary of work areas where hazardous lead

exposures could occur;

• If lead might contaminate exposed skin or work clothing, meet the

requirements for personal hygiene;

• Keep work area surfaces free of lead dust as much as possible;

• When removing lead dust, use a method that avoids spreading it into other work

areas;

• Instruct and train workers who are at risk of exposure to lead;

• Develop and implement a health protection program if workers are exposed to

potentially hazardous levels of lead; and,

• Maintain records of risk assessments, worker exposures, and worker training.

WorkSafeBC Manual – Lead-Containing Paints and Coatings – Preventing Exposure

in the Construction Industry

This manual provides a guide to current practices that are to be followed in the Province

of British Columbia, providing basic information on lead and lead products, health

hazards and requirements for worker protection, safe work procedures and principles

that should be followed in selecting the most suitable technique for the safe abatement

of lead.

3.1.6 Ozone-Depleting Substances (ODS)

Provincial regulatory framework providing the requirements for the safe management,

storage and disposal of ozone-depleting substances are provided in British Columbia

Regulation (BC Reg.) 387/99, as amended from time to time – Ozone-Depleting

Substances Regulation respecting the appropriate management of ozone-depleting

substances within the province of British Columbia.

3.1.7 Respirable Crystalline Silica (RCS)

Sections 6.110–6.115 of the Occupational Health Safety (OHS) Regulation and related

OHS Guidelines have been updated to clarify employer requirements to protect workers

from the harmful effects of silica dust. Changes to the Regulation expand the sections

on rock dust to include specific regulations for protecting workers from the risks of

exposure to respirable crystalline silica (RCS) dust.

Silica is the basic component in sand and rock. It's in construction materials such as:

• Concrete, concrete block, cement, and mortar

• Masonry, tiles, brick, and refractory brick

• Granite, sand, fill dirt, and top soil

• Asphalt-containing rock or stone

• Abrasive used for blasting

Silica is the most common hazard on a work site. Any activity that creates dust can

expose workers to airborne silica. The most common ways to create silica dust are as

follows:

• Chipping, sawing, grinding, hammering, or drilling

• Crushing, loading, hauling, or dumping

• Building demolition

• Power cutting or dressing stone

• Facade renovation, including tuck-point work

• Abrasive or hydro blasting

• Dry sweeping or pressurized air blowing

• Tunneling, excavating, or earth moving

Inhaling silica dust can cause silicosis, a serious and irreversible lung disease. It can

be lethal. Silica damages the lung and causes scar tissue to form. This causes the lung

tissue to become thicker. Silica exposure can also cause lung cancer.

If a worker is or may be exposed to potentially harmful levels of respirable crystalline

silica, the employer must develop and implement an exposure control plan meeting the

requirements of section 6.110-6.115 of the BC OH&S Regulation. Additionally, and to

ensure adequate coordination of the plan, the employer must ensure that it is

administered by a properly trained person.

3.2 Applicable Federal Legislation

3.2.1 Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs)

The PCB Regulations SOR/2008-273 came into force on September 5, 2008. The

purpose of the regulations is to improve the protection of Canada’s environment

and the health of Canadians by minimizing the risks posed by the use, storage and

release of PCBs and by accelerating the elimination of these substances. The

Regulations also set out end-of-use and end-of-storage dates for PCBs. These dates

are listed in Environment Canada’s fact sheet, "PCB Regulations: An Overview."

Vinyl Sheet Flooring (VFT) Materials:

Asbestos containing yellow Vinyl Sheet Flooring materials were observed as

hidden flooring in the washroom and back office areas only. The sheet flooring

materials were sampled and found to contain 30% Chrysotile asbestos in the

paper backing. These VSF materials were observed to be in good to fair condition.

Prior to any demolition activities taking place which could disturb the asbestos

containing vinyl sheet flooring materials, the materials must first be removed and

disposed of in accordance with applicable regulations. Due to the high friability and

high asbestos content, the removal of these materials will pose a high risk of

asbestos exposure to the workers involved. Therefore, as a minimum, HIGH RISK
