EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Arcadis Canada Inc. (Arcadis) was retained by the Halton District School Board to conduct a pre-renovation

designated substances and hazardous materials survey in designated study areas of Brookdale Public

School located at 1195 Bridge Road in Oakville, Ontario.

It is our understanding that paint on metal roof decking inside the Gymnasium (Room 1) is scheduled to be

removed.

Asbestos-containing materials found to be present in the designated study area included:

• Assumed asbestos-containing thermal insulation applied to piping below ceiling in Room 1.

Measures and procedures for asbestos abatement work are prescribed in Ontario Regulation 278/05 -

Asbestos on Construction Projects and in Buildings and Repair Operations. If any materials which may

contain asbestos and which were not tested during the course of the designated substances survey are

discovered during any construction activities, the work shall not proceed until such time as the required

notifications have been made and an appropriate course of action is determined.

Lead was detected in the paint samples collected in the designated study area.

All applications should be handled according to the measures and procedures outlined in the Ministry of

Labour Guideline, Lead on Construction Projects, April 2011. In addition the EACO Lead Abatement

Guidelines, 2014 — Edition 1, Environmental Abatement Council of Ontario, also provides guidance and

recommended work practices.

Fluorescent lights and HID lights were identified in the designated study areas. Mercury should be assumed

to be present as a gas in all fluorescent light tubes, HID light bulbs and in all paint applications, albeit at

low levels. The fluorescent light tubes and HID light bulbs should be recycled for mercury if the lights are

removed.

Materials observed in the designated study areas which should be considered to contain silica included

cement block walls and mortar.

Silica can also be assumed to be present in any gravel ballast on roofs and will also be found in asphalt

roofing materials if rock or stone are present in the asphalt.

The Ministry of Labour Guideline, Silica on Construction Projects, dated April 2011, provides guidance in

controlling exposure to silica dust during construction activities.

Fluorescent lights and were observed in the designated study areas. Light ballasts, such as those

associated with the type of fluorescent lights (T8s) observed in the designated study area, are usually an

electronic-type which do not contain PCBs, however, this should be confirmed by an electrician at the time

of dismantling of the lights.



702170-122 – May 1, 2017 ES-2

Light ballasts, such as those associated with the type of HID lights identified in the designated study areas,

are typically a magnetic type which may contain PCBs. Inspection of product codes and date codes on the

ballasts can be used to determine the likely presence or absence of PCBs.

No equipment or materials potentially containing PCBs were identified in the designated study areas during

the course of the site investigation.

No equipment potentially containing Ozone-Depleting Substances (ODS) were identified in the designated

study areas during the course of the site investigation.

Readily-evident mould was not observed in the designated study areas during the course of the site

investigation.

1 INTRODUCTION

Arcadis Canada Inc. (Arcadis) was retained by the Halton District School Board to conduct a pre-renovation

designated substances and hazardous materials survey in designated areas of Brookdale Public School

located at 1195 Bridge Road in Oakville, Ontario.

The information in this report is to be provided to all bidders on a project in accordance with the

requirements of the Occupational Health and Safety Act.

The site is two-storey masonry structure.

It is our understanding that paint on metal roof decking inside the Gymnasium (Room 1) is scheduled to be

removed.

The designated study areas are shown on the floor plans provided in Appendix A.

The survey was undertaken to report on the presence or suspected presence of readily observable

designated substances and hazardous materials.

1.1 Scope of Work

The scope of work for our investigation included:

• review of existing information;

• investigation of readily-accessible areas in the designated study areas for the presence

of designated substances and hazardous materials used in building construction

materials;

• obtaining representative bulk samples of materials suspected of containing asbestos

and paint chip samples;

• laboratory analyses of bulk samples for asbestos content;

• laboratory analyses of paint chip samples for lead content; and

• preparation of a report outlining the findings of the investigation.

Mr. Sean Parliament of Arcadis visited the site on April 10, 2017 to conduct the designated substances

survey at Brookdale Public School.



702170-122 – May 1, 2017 2-1

2 REGULATORY DISCUSSION AND METHODOLOGY

Ontario Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA)

The Ontario Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA) sets out, in very general terms, the duties of

employers and others to protect workers from health and safety hazards on the job. These duties include,

but are not limited to:

• taking all reasonable precautions to protect the health and safety of workers [clause

25(2)(h)];

• ensuring that equipment, materials and protective equipment are maintained in good

condition [clause 25(1)(b)];

• providing information, instruction and supervision to protect worker health and safety

[clause 25(2)(a)]; and

• acquainting a worker or a person in authority over a worker with any hazard in the work

and in the handling, storage, use, disposal and transport of any article, device,

equipment or a biological, chemical or physical agent [clause 25(2)(d)].

In addition, Section 30 of the OHSA deals with the presence of designated substances on construction

projects. Compliance with the OHSA and its regulations requires action to be taken where there is a

designated substance hazard on a construction project.

Section 30 of the OHSA requires the owner of a project to determine if designated substances are present

on a project and, if so, to inform all potential contractors as part of the bidding process. Contractors who

receive this information are to pass it onto other contractors and subcontractors who are bidding for work

on the project.

Regulation for Construction Projects, O.Reg. 213/91

The Regulation for Construction Projects, O.Reg. 213/91, applies to all construction projects. The following

sections of the regulation would apply to situations where there is the potential for workers to be exposed

to designated substances:

Section 14 (5) A competent person shall perform tests and observations necessary for the

detection of hazardous conditions on a project.

Section 21 (1) A worker shall wear such protective clothing and use such personal protective

equipment or devices as are necessary to protect the worker against the hazards

to which the worker may be exposed.

(2) A worker's employer shall require the worker to comply with subsection (1).



702170-122 – May 1, 2017 2-2

(3) A worker required to wear personal protective clothing or use personal protective

equipment or devices shall be adequately instructed and trained in the care and

use of the clothing, equipment or device before wearing or using it.

Section 30 Workers who handle or use substances likely to endanger their health shall be provided

with washing facilities with clean water, soap and individual towels.

Section 46 (1) A project shall be adequately ventilated by natural or mechanical means,

(a) if a worker may be injured by inhaling a noxious...dust or fume;

(2) If it is not practicable to provide natural or mechanical ventilation in the

circumstances described in clause (1)(a), respiratory protective equipment suitable

for the hazard shall be provided and be used by the workers.

Section 59 If the dissemination of dust is a hazard to a worker, the dust shall be adequately controlled

or each worker who may be exposed to the hazard shall be provided with adequate

personal protective equipment.

Regulation for Designated Substances (O.Reg. 490/09)

The Designated Substance Regulation (O.Reg. 490/09) specifies occupational exposure limits (OELs) for

designated substances and requires an assessment and a control program to ensure compliance with these

OELs.

Although, O.Reg. 490/09 and the OELs do not apply to an employer on a construction project, or to their

workers at the project, employers still have a responsibility to protect the health of their workers and to

comply with the OHSA and other applicable regulations. Section 25(2)(h) of the OHSA requires that

employers take "every precaution reasonable in the circumstances for the protection of a worker".

Other regulatory requirements (and guidelines) which apply to control of exposure to designated

substances and hazardous materials are referenced in the sections below.

2.1 Asbestos

Asbestos has been widely used in buildings, both in friable applications (materials which can be crumbled,

pulverized or powdered by hand pressure, when dry) such as pipe and tank insulation, sprayed-on

fireproofing and acoustic texture material and in non-friable manufactured products such as floor tile,

gaskets, cement board and so on. The use of asbestos in friable applications was curtailed around the

mid-1970s and, as such, most buildings constructed prior to about 1975 contain some form of friable

construction material with an asbestos content. The use of asbestos in certain non-friable materials

continued beyond the mid-1970s.



702170-122 – May 1, 2017 2-3

Control of exposure to asbestos is governed in Ontario by Regulation 278/05 – Designated Substance –

Asbestos on Construction Projects and in Buildings and Repair Operations. Disposal of asbestos waste

(friable and non-friable materials) is governed by Ontario Regulation 278/05 and by Ontario Regulation 347,

Waste Management – General. O.Reg. 278/05 classifies asbestos work operations into three types (Type

1, 2 and 3), as shown in Table C-1 in Appendix C, and specifies procedures to be followed in conducting

asbestos abatement work.

2.2 Lead

Lead is a heavy metal that can be found in construction materials such as paints, coatings, mortar, concrete,

pipes, solder, packings, sheet metal, caulking, glazed ceramic products and cable splices. Lead has been

used historically in exterior and interior paints.

The Surface Coating Materials Regulations made under the Hazardous Products Act (SOR/2005-109) sets

a maximum concentration of total lead of 90 mg/kg (0.009 percent or 90 parts per million) for surface coating

materials, including paints, effective 21 October 2010. This criterion level applies to the sale and

importation of new surface coating materials.

The National Plumbing Code allowed lead as an acceptable material for pipes until 1975 and in solder until

1986.

The Ministry of Labour Guideline, Lead on Construction Projects, dated April 2011, provides guidance in

the measures and procedures that should be followed when handling lead containing materials during

construction projects. In the guideline, lead-containing construction operations are classified into three

groups - Type 1 (low risk), Type 2 (medium risk) and Type 3 (high risk) based on presumed airborne

concentrations of lead, as shown in Appendix C, Table C-2. Any operation that may expose a worker to

lead that is not a Type 1, Type 2, or Type 3b operation, is classified as a Type 3a operation.

2.3 Mercury

Mercury has been used in electrical equipment such as alkaline batteries, fluorescent light bulbs (lamps),

high intensity discharge (HID) lights (mercury vapour, high pressure sodium and metal halide), “silent

switches” and in instruments such as thermometers, manometers and barometers, pressure gauges, float

and level switches and flow meters. Mercury-containing lamps, the bulk of which are 1.22 m (four foot)

fluorescent lamps contain between 7 and 40 mg of mercury each. Mercury compounds have also been

used historically as additives in latex paint to protect the paint from mildew and bacteria during production

and storage.

intentional addition of mercury to Canadian-produced consumer paints for interior use was prohibited in

1991. Mercury may have remained in paints after 1991, however, as a result of impurities in the paint

ingredients or cross-contamination due to other manufacturing processes. The Surface Coating Materials



702170-122 – May 1, 2017 2-4

Regulations made under the Hazardous Products Act set a maximum total mercury concentration of

10 mg/kg (0.001 percent) for surface coating materials (including paint). This criterion level applies to the

sale and importation of new surface coating materials.

Mercury-containing thermostats and silent light switches are mercury tilt switches which are small tubes

with electrical contacts at one end of the tube. A mercury tilt switch is usually present when no switch is

visible. Mercury switches often have the word “TOP” stamped on the upper end of the switch, which is

visible after removing the cover plate. If mercury switches are to be removed, the entire switch should be

removed and placed into a suitable container for storage and disposal.

Waste light tubes generated during renovations or building demolition and waste mercury from equipment

must either be recycled or disposed of in accordance with the requirements of Ont. Reg. 347 - Waste

Management, General.

Waste mercury in amounts less than 5 kg (per month) are exempt from the generator registration

requirements prescribed by O.Reg. 347 – Waste Management – General. Waste mercury from mercury

switches or gauges should, however, be properly collected and shipped to a recycling facility or disposed

of as a hazardous waste. Removal of mercury-containing equipment (e.g., switches, gauges, controls, etc.)

should be carried out in a manner which prevents spillage and exposure to workers.

2.4 Silica

Silica exists in several forms of which crystalline silica is of most concern with respect to potential worker

exposures. Quartz is the most abundant type of crystalline silica. Some commonly used construction

materials containing silica include brick, refractory brick, concrete, concrete block, cement, mortar, rock and

stone, sand, fill dirt, topsoil and asphalt containing rock or stone.

The Ministry of Labour Guideline, Silica on Construction Projects, dated April 2011, provides guidance in

controlling exposure to silica dust during construction activities. In the guideline, silica-containing

construction operations are classified into three groups - Type 1 (low risk), Type 2 (medium risk) and Type

3 (high risk) based on presumed airborne concentrations of respirable crystalline silica in the form of

cristobalite, tridymite, quartz and tripoli as shown in Appendix C, Table C-3.

2.5 Vinyl Chloride

Vinyl chloride vapours may be released from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) products in the event of heating or

as a result of decomposition during fire. PVC is used in numerous materials that may be found in building

construction, including, for example, piping, conduits, siding, window and door frames, plastics, garden

hoses, flooring and wire and cable protection.



702170-122 – May 1, 2017 2-5

2.6 Acrylonitrile

Acrylonitrile is used to produce nitrile-butadiene rubber, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) polymers and

styrene-acrylonitrile (SAN) polymers. Products made with ABS resins which may be found in buildings

include telephones, bottles, packaging, refrigerator door liners, plastic pipe, building panels and shower

stalls. Acrylonitrile can be released into the air by combustion of products containing ABS.

2.7 Other Designated Substances

Isocyanates are a class of chemicals used in the manufacture of certain types of plastics, foams, coatings

and other products. Isocyanate-based building construction materials may include rigid foam products such

as foam-core panels and spray-on insulation and paints, coatings, sealants and adhesives. Isocyanates

may be inhaled if they are present in the air in the form of a vapour, a mist or a dust.

Benzene is a clear, highly flammable liquid used mainly in the manufacture of other chemicals. The

commercial use of benzene as a solvent has practically been eliminated, however it continues to be used

as a solvent and reactant in laboratories.

Arsenic is a heavy metal used historically in pesticides and herbicides. The primary use in building

construction materials was its use in the wood preservative chromated copper arsenate (CCA). CCA was

used to pressure treat lumber since the 1940’s. Pressure-treated wood containing CCA is no longer being

produced for use in most residential settings.

Ethylene oxide is a colourless gas at room temperature. it has been used primarily for the manufacture of

other chemicals, as a fumigant and fungicide and for sterilization of hospital equipment.

Coke oven emissions are airborne contaminants emitted from coke ovens and are not a potential hazard

associated with building construction materials.

2.8 Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs)

The management of equipment classified as waste and containing Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) at

concentrations of 50 parts per million (mg/kg) or greater is regulated by Ontario Regulation 362, Waste

Management – PCBs. Under this regulation, PCB waste is defined as any waste material containing PCBs

in concentrations of 50 mg/kg or greater. Any equipment containing PCBs at or greater than this level, such

as transformers, switchgear, light ballasts and capacitors, which is removed from service due to age, failure

or as a result of decommissioning, is considered to constitute a PCB waste. Although current federal

legislation (effective 1 July 1980) has prohibited the manufacture and sale of new equipment containing

PCBs since that time, continued operation of equipment supplied prior to this date and containing PCBs is

still permitted. Handling, storage and disposition of such equipment is, however, tightly regulated and must



702170-122 – May 1, 2017 2-6

be managed in accordance with provincial and federal government requirements as soon as it is taken out

of service or becomes unserviceable.

In most institutional, commercial facilities and in smaller industrial facilities, the primary source of equipment

potentially containing PCBs is fluorescent and H.I.D. light ballasts. Small transformers may also be present.

In larger industrial facilities, larger transformers and switch gear containing, or potentially containing, PCBs

may also be present.

PCBs were also commonly added to industrial paints from the 1940s to the late 1970s. PCBs were added

directly to the paint mixture to act as a fungicide, to increase durability and flexibility, to improve resistance

to fires and to increase moisture resistance. The use of PCBs in new products was banned in Canada in

the 1970s. PCB amended paints were used in speciality industrial/institutional applications prior to the

1970s including government buildings and equipment such as industrial plants, radar sites, ships as well

as non-government rail cars, ships, grain bins, automobiles and appliances.

Removal of in-service equipment containing PCBs, such as fluorescent light ballasts, capacitors and

transformers, is subject to the requirements of the federal PCB Regulations (discussed below).

The PCB Regulations, which came into force on 5 September 2008, were made under the Canadian

Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA 1999) with the objective of addressing the risks posed by the

use, storage and release to the environment of PCBs, and to accelerate their destruction. The PCB

Regulations set different end-of-use deadlines for equipment containing PCBs at various concentration

levels.

The Regulations Amending the PCB Regulations and Repealing the Federal Mobile PCB Treatment and

Destruction Regulations were published on 23 April 2014, in the Canada Gazette, Part II, and came into

force on 1 January 2015. The most notable part of the amendments is the addition of an end-of-use deadline

date of 31 December 2025 for specific electrical equipment located at electrical generation, transmission

and distribution facilities.

When the PCB materials are classified as waste, jurisdiction falls under the Ontario Ministry of the

Environment and Climate Change (MOECC) and O.Reg. 362. All remedial and PCB management work

must be carried out under the terms of a Director’s Instruction issued by an MOECC District Office (for

quantities of PCB fluid greater than 50 litres). The PCB waste stream, regardless of quantity, must be

registered with the MOECC, in accordance with O.Reg. 347, General - Waste Management. O.Reg. 362

applies to any equipment containing greater than 1 kg of PCBs.

NOTES:

(1) Sample results taken from a report prepared by Arcadis for the Halton District School Board entitled Pre-Renovation

Designated Substances and Hazardous Materials Survey, Brookdale Public School dated May 5, 2016.

(2) “Asbestos-containing material” is defined as material that contains 0.5% or more asbestos by dry weight.

< = less than.

Chrysotile = Chrysotile asbestos.

Bulk samples were analyzed by Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) analysis, except where “TEM” is noted, in which case Transmission

Electron Microscopy analysis was also performed.

Determination of the locations of asbestos-containing material was made based on the results of bulk

sample analysis, visual observations and physical characteristics of the applications as well as our

knowledge of the uses of asbestos in building materials.

Based on visual observations and results of laboratory analyses of samples collected by Arcadis Canada

Inc., the following asbestos-containing materials were found to be present in the designated study areas:

• Assumed asbestos-containing thermal insulation applied to piping below ceiling in Room 1.



702170-122 – May 1, 2017 3-4

Asbestos-containing thermal insulation applied to pipe fittings is a white-coloured cementitious material.

Asbestos-containing thermal insulation applied to pipe straights is “Air-Cell” insulation or “Anti-sweat”

insulation. “Aircell” is a trade name for a grey-coloured corrugated paper-like type of pipe insulation, usually

found on heating and domestic hot water piping. “Anti-sweat” insulation is a layered paper-like material,

typically brown in colour that may contain intermittent layers of black tar-like paper and/or intermittent layers

of a white paper-like material, usually found on domestic cold water lines and sanitary and rain water piping.

Asbestos-containing thermal insulation on pipe straights is a “pre-cast” thermal insulation. “Pre-cast”

insulation is a tightly packed white powder-like fibrous material normally found on heating and steam system

piping and boiler breeching.

Glass fibre insulation is readily visually distinguishable (typically yellow in colour) from asbestos-containing

insulation materials and was, therefore, not tested for asbestos content.

Thermal insulation is a friable material. The removal, alteration and/or disturbance of less than 1 m2 of

friable asbestos-containing materials is classified as a Type 2 enclosure operation as specified in O.Reg.

278/05. The removal, alteration and/or disturbance of more than 1 m2 of friable asbestos-containing

materials is classified as a Type 3 operation.

Asbestos may also be present in materials which were not sampled during the course of the asbestos

survey carried out by Arcadis, including, but not limited to, areas outside the designated study area, roofing

materials, fire doors and components of electrical equipment (e.g. electric wiring insulation, non-metallic

sheathed cable, electrical panel partitions, arc chutes, high-grade electrical paper, etc.), asphaltic

pavement, etc., and/or in locations that are presently inaccessible (e.g., behind walls). Asbestos may also

be present in the form of vermiculite insulation in cavities in concrete or cement block walls (used as in-fill

insulation). Confirmatory testing of any such materials could be undertaken as the need arises (i.e., at the

time of renovations, modifications or demolition) or the materials can be assumed to contain asbestos

based on findings in adjacent areas.

If any materials which may contain asbestos and which were not tested during the course of the designated

substances and hazardous materials survey are discovered during any construction activities, the work

shall not proceed until such time as the required notifications have been made and an appropriate course

of action is determined.

3.2 Lead

During the course of our site investigation(s), representative bulk samples were collected by Arcadis staff.

The samples were forwarded to EMSL Canada Inc. (EMSL) for lead analyses. Results of bulk sample

analysis for lead content are provided in Table 3.2. The laboratory report is provided in Appendix B.

P2 Room 1 Paint from concrete block walls – Beige coloured 1,000 mg/Kg

NOTE:

< = less than.

mg/Kg = milligrams lead per kilogram paint.

1 mg/Kg - 1 part per million (ppm).

Lead was detected in both of the paint samples collected.

Lead may also be present in lead pipe, mortar, in the solder on the seals of bell joints of any cast iron

drainpipe and in the solder on the sweated on joints between copper pipe and fittings.

The Ministry of Labour Guideline – Lead on Construction Projects, dated April 2011, provides guidance in

the measures and procedures that should be followed when handling lead containing materials during

construction projects. In the guideline, lead-containing construction operations are classified into three

groups - Type 1 (low risk), Type 2 (medium risk) and Type 3 (high risk) based on presumed airborne

concentrations of lead, as shown in Appendix C, Table C-2. Any operation that may expose a worker to

lead that is not a Type 1, Type 2, or Type 3b operation, is classified as a Type 3a operation.

In addition the EACO Lead Abatement Guidelines, 2014 — Edition 1, Environmental Abatement Council of

Ontario, also provides guidance and recommended work practices.

3.3 Mercury

During the course of our site investigation, fluorescent lights and HID lights were identified in the designated

study areas. Mercury should be assumed to be present as a gas in all fluorescent light tubes, HID light

bulbs and in all paint applications, albeit at low levels. The fluorescent light tubes should be recycled for

mercury if the lights are removed.

Proper procedures for removing mercury-containing equipment (thermostats, for example, and any other

mercury-containing equipment found to be present at the time of renovations or demolition) typically involve:



702170-122 – May 1, 2017 3-6

• removal of the mercury-containing equipment in a manner designed to prevent

breakage;

• removal of the equipment over or in a containment device sufficient to collect and

contain any mercury released in case of breakage;

• ensuring that a mercury clean-up system is readily available to immediately transfer any

mercury resulting from spills or leaks from broken equipment and that any mercury

resulting from spills or leaks is immediately transferred to an appropriate container;

• ensuring that the area in which equipment is removed is well ventilated;

• ensuring that employees removing equipment are thoroughly familiar with proper waste

mercury handling and emergency procedures, including transfer of mercury from

containment devices to appropriate containers;

• storing removed switches in closed, non-leaking containers that are in good condition;

and

• packing removed switches in the container with packing materials adequate to prevent

breakage during storage, handling and transportation.

Proper procedures for removing and handling mercury-containing fluorescent light tubes typically involve:

• ensuring that electrical power to light fixtures has been disconnected and locked out;

• taking all necessary precautions to ensure that fluorescent lamp tubes are removed in

a manner that prevents breakage; and

• transporting fluorescent lamp tubes to a licensed processing location for separation and

recovery of mercury.

The measures and procedures outlined in the MOL Guideline, Lead on Construction Projects for control of

potential exposure to lead in paint during construction activities will also serve to control potential exposure

to any mercury in paint.

3.4 Silica

Materials observed in the designated study areas which should be considered to contain silica included

concrete block and mortar.

Silica can also be assumed to be present in any gravel ballast on roofs and will also be found in asphalt

roofing materials if rock or stone are present in the asphalt.



702170-122 – May 1, 2017 3-7

The Ministry of Labour Guideline, Silica on Construction Projects, April 2011, provides guidance in

controlling exposure to silica dust during construction activities. In the guideline, silica-containing

construction operations are classified into three groups - Type 1 (low risk), Type 2 (medium risk) and Type

3 (high risk) based on presumed airborne concentrations of silica, as shown in Appendix C, Table C-3.

Additional precautionary measures should also be implemented for certain types of materials (e.g., plaster

and texture coat materials, including non-asbestos applications, concrete block, etc.). For minor

disturbances such as drilling, a HEPA-filtered attachment should be used. For removal of more than a

minor amount of material, enclosures should be constructed for dust control and separation of the work

area from adjacent areas.

3.5 Vinyl Chloride

As mentioned in Section 2.5 above, vinyl chloride would only be a potential exposure concern in the event

of combustion of PVC products.

3.6 Acrylonitrile

As mentioned in Section 2.6 above, acrylonitrile would only be a potential exposure concern in the event of

combustion of ABS products.


No other designated substances (benzene, isocyanates, arsenic, ethylene oxide and coke oven emissions)

were observed to be present in the designated study areas, and none would be expected to be encountered

in any building materials in a form that would represent an exposure concern. Arsenic may be present at

low levels in paint applications. The measures and procedures outlined in the MOL Guideline, Lead on

Construction Projects for control of potential exposure to lead in paint during construction activities will also

serve to control potential exposure to any arsenic (or mercury) in paint.

3.8 Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs)

Fluorescent lights were observed in the designated study area during the course of our site investigation.

Light ballasts, such as those associated with the type of fluorescent lights (T8s) observed in the designated

study area, are usually an electronic-type which do not contain PCBs, however, this would be confirmed by

an electrician at the time of dismantling of the lights.



702170-122 – May 1, 2017 3-8

Light ballasts, such as those associated with the type of HID lights identified in the designated study area,

are typically a magnetic type which may contain PCBs. Inspection of product codes and date codes on the

ballasts can be used to determine the likely presence or absence of PCBs.

3.9 Ozone-Depleting Substances (ODS) and Other Halocarbons

No equipment potentially containing ODS were identified in the designated study areas during the course

of the site investigation.

If any ODS-containing equipment is to be removed then they must be handled in the following manner:

• any equipment designated for disposal as scrap must be drained of its contents by a

licensed technician and equipped with a label indicating that the equipment no longer

contains any refrigerant. The specific requirements for information on the label, as

specified in the regulation, must be adhered to;

• equipment designated for relocation to another facility must be drained and labelled, as

above; and

• any equipment that is drained to facilitate relocation to another facility must be tested

for leaks prior to re-filling. The equipment must be re-filled within six months of the leak

test.

3.10 Mould

The investigation for mould included a visual inspection of readily-accessible surfaces throughout the

designated study areas to determine if any mould was evident. Readily evident mould was not observed

in the designated study areas during the course of the site investigation.

Control of exposure to mould is required under Section 25(2)(h) of the Ontario Occupational Health and

Safety Act, which states that employers shall take every precaution reasonable in the circumstances for the

protection of workers. Recommended work practices are outlined in the following documents:

• Mould Guidelines for the Canadian Construction Industry. Standard Construction

Document CC82 2004. Canadian Construction Association.

• EACO Mould Abatement Guidelines, 2004 — Edition 1, Environmental Abatement

Council of Ontario.



702170-122 – May 1, 2017 3-9

The investigation of mould was limited to visual observations of readily-accessible surfaces and did not

include intrusive investigations of wall cavities. During renovations/demolition/modifications, any mould-

impacted materials uncovered/discovered should be misted or wetted with water to reduce airborne dust.



702170-122 – May 1, 2017 4-1

Executive Summary

ARCADIS Canada Inc. (ARCADIS) was retained by DEI & Associates Inc. (DEI) to

complete a project-specific designated substances and hazardous materials survey

in designated areas of Brookdale Public School located at 1195 Bridge Road,

Oakville, Ontario.

It is our understanding that designated areas in the building are scheduled for

renovations.

Asbestos-containing materials found to be present in the designated study areas

included:

• Thermal insulation on pipe straights above ceilings in Corridor 63 and 64;

• Thermal insulation on pipe straights below ceilings in Rooms 26 and 27;

• Vinyl floor tiles in Rooms 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73 and 74.

Measures and procedures for asbestos abatement work are prescribed in Ontario

Regulation 278/05 - Asbestos on Construction Projects and in Buildings and Repair

Operations. If any materials which may contain asbestos and which were not tested

during the course of the designated substances survey are discovered during any

construction activities, the work shall not proceed until such time as the required

notifications have been made and an appropriate course of action is determined.

Lead was detected in the paint sample collected.

All applications should be handled according to the measures and procedures

outlined in the Ministry of Labour Guideline – Lead on Construction Projects,

April 2011.

Fluorescent lights were observed throughout the designated study areas. Mercury

should be assumed to be present as a gas in all fluorescent light tubes and in all

paint applications, albeit at low levels.

Materials observed in the designated study areas which should be considered to

contain silica included gypsum board, concrete, concrete block, brick mortar,

concrete block mortar, and ceiling tiles.

1. Introduction

ARCADIS Canada Inc. (ARCADIS) was retained by DEI & Associates Inc. (DEI) to

complete a project-specific designated substances and hazardous materials survey

in designated areas of Brookdale Public School located at 1195 Bridge Road,

Oakville, Ontario.

The information in this report is to be provided to all bidders on a project in

accordance with the requirements of the Occupational Health and Safety Act.

The building is a two-storey masonry structure.

It is our understanding that designated areas in the building are scheduled for

renovations.

The locations of designated study areas and asbestos containing materials are

shown on the floor plans provided in Appendix A.

The survey was undertaken to report on the presence or suspected presence of

readily-observable designated substances and hazardous materials.

2. Results and Discussion

The Ontario Occupational Health and Safety Act requires that a list of all “designated

substances” at a project site be provided to all bidders at the tendering stage and that

the “Constructor” for a project shall ensure that each prospective contractor and

subcontractor for the project has received a copy of the list before entering into a

contract. Eleven substances are classified as “designated substances” in Ontario:

asbestos, lead, silica, mercury, arsenic, benzene, acrylonitrile, ethylene oxide,

isocyanates, vinyl chloride, and coke oven emissions. Of these, asbestos, lead, silica

and mercury are considered the most likely to be encountered in materials and

equipment found in buildings.

Other regulatory requirements (and guidelines) which apply to control of exposure to

designated substances and hazardous materials are referenced in the sections

below.

The site review was undertaken, therefore, to report on the presence or suspected

presence of readily-observable designated substances present in the designated

study areas.

Sean Parliament of ARCADIS Canada Inc. visited the site on March 17, 2016 to

conduct the designated substances and hazardous materials survey.

2.1 Asbestos

Asbestos has been widely used in buildings, both in friable applications (materials

which can be crumbled, pulverized or powdered by hand pressure, when dry) such

as pipe and tank insulation, sprayed-on fireproofing and acoustic texture material and

in non-friable manufactured products such as floor tile, gaskets, cement board and so

on. The use of asbestos in friable applications was curtailed around the mid-1970s

and, as such, most buildings constructed prior to about 1975 contain some form of

friable construction material with an asbestos content. The use of asbestos in certain

non-friable materials continued beyond the mid-1970s.

Control of exposure to asbestos is governed in Ontario by Regulation 278/05 –

Designated Substance – Asbestos on Construction Projects and in Buildings and

Repair Operations. Disposal of asbestos waste (friable and non-friable materials) is

governed by Ontario Regulation 278/05 and by Ontario Regulation 347, Waste

Management – General. O.Reg. 278/05 classifies asbestos work operations into

three types (Type 1, 2 and 3), as shown in Table C-1 in Appendix C, and specifies

procedures to be followed in conducting asbestos abatement work.

NOTES: (1) Sample results obtained from report prepared by Decommissioning Consulting Services Limited

for the HDSB entitled “ Updated Survey of Asbestos Containing Materials, Brookdale Public School, Oakville, Ontario.” dated September 2014

(2) “Asbestos-containing material” is defined as material that contains 0.5% of more asbestos by dry weight

< = less than. “Asbestos-containing material” is defined as material that contains 0.5% or more asbestos by dry weight. Chrysotile = Chrysotile asbestos. Bulk samples were analyzed by Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) analysis, except where “TEM” is noted, in which case Transmission Electron Microscopy analysis was also performed.

Determination of the locations of asbestos-containing material was made based on

review of existing information and the results of bulk sample analysis, visual

observations and physical characteristics of the applications as well as our

knowledge of the uses of asbestos in building materials.

Based on visual observations and results of laboratory analyses of samples collected

by ARCADIS Canada Inc., the following asbestos-containing materials were found to

be present in the study-areas:

• Thermal insulation on pipe straights above ceilings in Corridor 63 and 64;

• Thermal insulation on pipe straights below ceilings in Rooms 26 and 27;

Pre-Renovation


and Hazardous

Materials Survey


702170-057 – May 2016 9

• Vinyl floor tile’s in Rooms 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73 and 74.

Glass fibre insulation is readily visually distinguishable (typically yellow in colour)

from asbestos-containing insulation materials and was, therefore, not tested for

asbestos content.

Vinyl floor tiles are a non-friable material. The removal, alteration and/or disturbance

of these non-friable asbestos-containing materials can be performed as a Type 1

operation as specified in O. Reg. 278/05 if the material is wetted and the work is

done only using non-powered, hand-held tools (see Table C-1 in Appendix C). If the

removal, alteration and/or disturbance work is done using power tools that are

attached to dust-collecting devices equipped with HEPA filters, then the work is

classified as Type 2. If the power tools do not have HEPA filtered dust collecting

devices, then the work is Type 3.

Thermal insulation is a friable material. The removal, alteration and/or disturbance of

less than 1 m2 of friable asbestos-containing materials is classified as a Type 2

enclosure operation as specified in O.Reg. 278/05. The removal, alteration and/or

disturbance of more than 1 m2 of friable asbestos-containing materials is classified as

a Type 3 operation.

Asbestos may also be present in materials which were not sampled during the course

of the asbestos survey carried out by ARCADIS, including, but not limited to, fire

doors, gaskets in piping, paints and coatings, block filler paint, components of

electrical equipment (e.g. electric wiring insulation, non-metallic sheathed cable,

electrical panel partitions, arc chutes, high-grade electrical paper, etc.), roofing

materials, concrete, asphaltic pavement, etc. Confirmatory testing of any such

materials could be undertaken as the need arises (i.e., at the time of renovations,

modifications or demolition) or the materials can be assumed to contain asbestos

based on findings in adjacent areas.

If any materials which may contain asbestos and which were not tested during the

course of the designated substances and hazardous materials survey are discovered

during any construction activities, the work shall not proceed until such time as the

required notifications have been made and an appropriate course of action is

determined.

2.2 Lead

Lead is a heavy metal that can be found in construction materials such as paints,

coatings, mortar, concrete, pipes, solder, packings, sheet metal, caulking, glazed

ceramic products and cable splices. Lead has been used historically in exterior and

interior paints.

The Surface Coating Materials Regulations made under the Hazardous Products Act

(SOR/2005-109) sets a maximum concentration of total lead of 90 mg/kg

(0.009 percent or 90 parts per million) for surface coating materials, including paints,

effective 21 October 2010. This criterion level applies to the sale and importation of

new surface coating materials.

The “National Plumbing Code” allowed lead as an acceptable material for pipes until

1975 and in solder until 1986.

During the course of our site inspection, two samples of the predominant types of

paint were collected by ARCADIS staff. The samples were forwarded to EMSL

Canada Inc. for lead analyses. Results of bulk sample analysis for lead content are

provided in Table 2.2. The laboratory report is provided in Appendix B.

Lead may also be present in lead pipe, mortar, glazing on ceramic tiles, in the solder

on the seals of bell joints of any cast iron drainpipe and in the solder on the sweated

on joints between copper pipe and fittings.

The Ministry of Labour Guideline – Lead on Construction Projects, dated April 2011,

provides guidance in the measures and procedures that should be followed when

handling lead containing materials during construction projects. In the guideline,

lead-containing construction operations are classified into three groups - Type 1 (low

risk), Type 2 (medium risk) and Type 3 (high risk) based on presumed airborne

concentrations of lead, as shown in Appendix C, Table C-2. Any operation that may

expose a worker to lead that is not a Type 1, Type 2, or Type 3b operation, is

classified as a Type 3a operation.

In addition the EACO Lead Abatement Guidelines, 2014 — Edition 1, Environmental

Abatement Council of Ontario, also provides guidance and recommended work

practices.

2.3 Mercury

Mercury has been used in electrical equipment such as alkaline batteries, fluorescent

light bulbs (lamps), high intensity discharge (HID) lights (mercury vapour, high

pressure sodium and metal halide), “silent switches” and in instruments such as

thermometers, manometers and barometers, pressure gauges, float and level

switches and flow meters. Mercury-containing lamps, the bulk of which are 1.22 m

(four foot) fluorescent lamps contain between 7 and 40 mg of mercury each. Mercury

compounds have also been used by many manufacturers historically as additives in

latex paint to protect the paint from mildew and bacteria during production and

storage.

The intentional addition of mercury to Canadian-produced consumer paints for

interior use was prohibited in 1991. Mercury may have remained in paints after 1991,

however, as a result of impurities in the paint ingredients or cross-contamination due

to other manufacturing processes. The Surface Coating Materials Regulations made

under the Hazardous Products Act set a maximum total mercury concentration of

10 mg/kg (0.001 percent) for surface coating materials (including paint). This

criterion level applies to the sale and importation of new surface coating materials.

Mercury-containing thermostats and silent light switches are mercury tilt switches

which are small tubes with electrical contacts at one end of the tube. A mercury tilt

switch is usually present when no switch is visible. Mercury switches often have the

word “TOP” stamped on the upper end of the switch, which is visible after removing

Pre-Renovation


and Hazardous

Materials Survey


702170-057 – May 2016 12

the cover plate. If mercury switches are to be removed, the entire switch should be

removed and placed into a suitable container for storage and disposal.

Waste light tubes generated during renovations or building demolition and waste

mercury from equipment must either be recycled or disposed of in accordance with

the requirements of Ont. Reg. 347 - Waste Management – General.

Waste mercury in amounts less than 5 kg (per month) are exempt from the generator

registration requirements prescribed by O.Reg. 347 – Waste Management – General.

Waste mercury from mercury switches or gauges should, however, be properly

collected and shipped to a recycling facility or disposed of as a hazardous waste.

Removal of mercury-containing equipment (e.g., switches, gauges, controls, etc.)

should be carried out in a manner which prevents spillage and exposure to workers.

During the course of our site inspections, fluorescent lights were observed

throughout the designated study areas. Mercury should be assumed to be

present as a gas in all fluorescent light tubes and in all paint applications,

albeit at low levels. The fluorescent light tubes should be recycled for mercury.

Mercury-containing thermostats were observed in rooms 72 and 73.

Proper procedures for removing mercury-containing equipment (thermostats, for

example, and any other mercury-containing equipment found to be present at the

time of renovations or demolition) typically involve:

• removal of the mercury-containing equipment in a manner designed to

prevent breakage;

• removal of the equipment over or in a containment device sufficient to

collect and contain any mercury released in case of breakage;

• ensuring that a mercury clean-up system is readily available to immediately

transfer any mercury resulting from spills or leaks from broken equipment

and that any mercury resulting from spills or leaks is immediately

transferred to an appropriate container;

• ensuring that the area in which equipment is removed is well ventilated;

• ensuring that employees removing equipment are thoroughly familiar with

proper waste mercury handling and emergency procedures, including

transfer of mercury from containment devices to appropriate containers;

Pre-Renovation


and Hazardous

Materials Survey


702170-057 – May 2016 13

• storing removed switches in closed, non-leaking containers that are in good

condition; and

• packing removed switches in the container with packing materials adequate

to prevent breakage during storage, handling and transportation.

Proper procedures for removing and handling mercury-containing fluorescent light

tubes typically involve:

• ensuring that electrical power to light fixtures has been disconnected and

locked out;

• taking all necessary precautions to ensure that fluorescent lamp tubes are

removed in a manner that prevents breakage; and

• transporting fluorescent lamp tubes and HID light bulbs to a licensed

processing location for separation and recovery of mercury.

The measures and procedures outlined in the MOL Guideline – Lead on Construction

Projects for control of potential exposure to lead in paint during construction activities

will also serve to control potential exposure to any mercury in paint.

2.4 Silica

Silica exists in several forms of which crystalline silica is of most concern with respect

to potential worker exposures. Quartz is the most abundant type of crystalline silica.

Some commonly used construction materials containing silica include brick,

refractory brick, concrete, concrete block, cement, mortar, rock and stone, sand, fill

dirt, topsoil and asphalt containing rock or stone.

Materials observed in the designated study areas which should be considered

to contain silica included gypsum board, concrete, concrete block, brick

mortar, concrete block mortar, and ceiling tiles.

Silica can also be assumed to be present in any gravel ballast on roofs and will also

be found in asphalt roofing materials if rock or stone are present in the asphalt.

Pre-Renovation


and Hazardous

Materials Survey


702170-057 – May 2016 14

The Ministry of Labour Guideline, Silica on Construction Projects, April 2011,

provides guidance in controlling exposure to silica dust during construction activities.

In the guideline, silica-containing construction operations are classified into three

groups - Type 1 (low risk), Type 2 (medium risk) and Type 3 (high risk) based on

presumed airborne concentrations of silica, as shown in Appendix C, Table C-3.

Additional precautionary measures should also be implemented for certain types of

materials (e.g., plaster and texture coat materials, including non-asbestos

applications, concrete block, etc.). For minor disturbances such as drilling, a

HEPA-filtered attachment should be used. For removal of more than a minor amount

of material, enclosures should be constructed for dust control and separation of the

work area from adjacent areas.

2.5 Vinyl Chloride

Vinyl chloride vapours may be released from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) products in the

event of heating or as a result of decomposition during fire. PVC is used in

numerous materials that may be found in building construction, including, for

example, piping, conduits, siding, window and door frames, plastics, garden hoses,

flooring and wire and cable protection.

2.6 Acrylonitrile

Acrylonitrile is used to produce nitrile-butadiene rubber, acrylonitrile-butadiene-

styrene (ABS) polymers and styrene-acrylonitrile (SAN) polymers. Products made

with ABS resins which may be found in buildings include telephones, bottles,

packaging, refrigerator door liners, plastic pipe, building panels and shower stalls.

Acrylonitrile can be released into the air by combustion of products containing ABS.


No other designated substances (benzene, isocyanates, arsenic, ethylene oxide and

coke oven emissions) were observed to be present in the designated study areas,

and none would be expected to be encountered in any building materials in a form

that would represent an exposure concern. Arsenic may be present at low levels in

paint applications. The measures and procedures outlined in the MOL Guideline –

Lead on Construction Projects for control of potential exposure to lead in paint during

construction activities will also serve to control potential exposure to any arsenic (or

mercury) in paint.

2.8 PCBs

The management of equipment classified as waste and containing Polychlorinated

Biphenyls (PCBs) at concentrations of 50 parts per million (mg/kg) or greater is

regulated by Ontario Regulation 362, Waste Management – PCBs. Under this

regulation, PCB waste is defined as any waste material containing PCBs in

concentrations of 50 mg/kg or greater. Any equipment containing PCBs at or greater

than this level, such as transformers, switchgear, light ballasts and capacitors, which

is removed from service due to age, failure or as a result of decommissioning, is

considered to constitute a PCB waste. Although current federal legislation (effective

1 July 1980) has prohibited the manufacture and sale of new equipment containing

PCBs since that time, continued operation of equipment supplied prior to this date

and containing PCBs is still permitted. Handling, storage and disposition of such

equipment is, however, tightly regulated and must be managed in accordance with

provincial and federal government requirements as soon as it is taken out of service

or becomes unserviceable.

In most institutional, commercial facilities and in smaller industrial facilities, the

primary source of equipment potentially containing PCBs is fluorescent and H.I.D.

light ballasts. Small transformers may also be present. In larger industrial facilities,

larger transformers and switch gear containing, or potentially containing, PCBs may

also be present.

PCBs were also commonly added to industrial paints from the 1940s to the late

1970s. PCBs were added directly to the paint mixture to act as a fungicide, to

increase durability and flexibility, to improve resistance to fires and to increase

moisture resistance. The use of PCBs in new products was banned in Canada in the

1970s. PCB amended paints were used in speciality industrial/institutional

applications prior to the 1970s including government buildings and equipment such

as industrial plants, radar sites, ships as well as non-government rail cars, ships,

grain bins, automobiles and appliances.

Removal of in-service equipment containing PCBs, such as fluorescent light ballasts,

capacitors and transformers, is subject to the requirements of the federal PCBs

Regulations (discussed below).

The PCB Regulations, which came into force on 5 September 2008, were made

under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA 1999) with the

objective of addressing the risks posed by the use, storage and release to the

environment of PCBs, and to accelerate their destruction. The PCB Regulations set

Pre-Renovation


and Hazardous

Materials Survey


702170-057 – May 2016 16

different end-of-use deadlines for equipment containing PCBs at various

concentration levels.

The Regulations Amending the PCB Regulations and Repealing the Federal Mobile

PCB Treatment and Destruction Regulations were published on 23 April 2014, in the

Canada Gazette, Part II, and came into force on 1 January 2015. The most notable

part of the amendments is the addition of an end-of-use deadline date of

31 December 2025 for specific electrical equipment located at electrical generation,

transmission and distribution facilities.

When the PCB materials are classified as waste, jurisdiction falls under the Ontario

Ministry of the Environment (MOE) and O. Reg. 362. All remedial and PCB

management work must be carried out under the terms of a Director’s Instruction

issued by an MOE District Office (for quantities of PCB fluid greater than 50 litres).

The PCB waste stream, regardless of quantity, must be registered with the MOE, in

accordance with O. Reg. 347, General - Waste Management. O. Reg. 362 applies to

any equipment containing greater than 1 kg of PCBs. Current MOE policies will,

therefore, allow a one-time disposal of up to 40 ballasts as municipal waste. For

quantities greater than 40, the ballasts must be classified as PCB waste and either

placed into temporary storage or disposed of at an acceptable facility.

Fluorescent lights were observed throughout the designated study areas. Light

ballasts, such as those associated with the type of fluorescent lights (T8s)

observed in the designated study areas, are usually an electronic-type which

do not contain PCBs, however, this would be confirmed by an electrician at the

time of dismantling of the lights.

2.9 Ozone-Depleting Substances (ODS) and Other Halocarbons

Ontario Regulation 463/10 – Ozone Depleting Substances and Other Halocarbons,

applies to the use, handling and disposal of Class 1 ozone-depleting substances,

including various chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), halons and other halocarbons, Class 2

ozone-depleting substances, including various hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs)

and halocarbons, and other halocarbons, including fluorocarbons (FCs) and

hydrofluorocarbons (CFCs). The most significant requirements for handling of ozone-

depleting substances (ODS) and other Halocarbons, which include, for example,

refrigerants used in refrigeration equipment and chillers, include the following:

• certification is required for all persons testing, repairing, filling or

emptying equipment containing ODS and other halocarbons;

Pre-Renovation


and Hazardous

702170-057 – May 2016 17

• the discharge of a Class 1 ODS or anything that contains a Class 1 ODS

to the natural environment or within a building is prohibited;

• the making, use of, selling of or transferring of a Class 1 ODS is

restricted to certain conditions;

• the discharge of a solvent or sterilant that contains a Class 2 ODS is

prohibited;

• the making, use of, selling of or transferring of a solvent or sterilant that

contains a Class 2 ODS is restricted to certain conditions;

• fire extinguishing equipment that contains a halon may be discharged to

fight fires, except fires for firefighting training purposes;

• portable fire extinguishing equipment that contains a halon may be used

or stored if the extinguisher was sold for use for the first time before 1

January 1996;

• records of the servicing and repair of equipment containing ODS and

other halocarbons must be prepared and maintained by the owner of the

equipment; and

• equipment no longer containing ODS and other halocarbons must be

posted with a notice completed by a certified person.

No equipment potentially containing ODSs were identified in rooms in the

designated study areas during the course of the site inspection.

Ontario Regulation 347, General Waste Management, has also been amended to

provide for more strict control of CFCs. The requirements under the amended

regulation apply primarily to the keeping of records for the receipt or recycling of CFC

waste.

702170-057 – May 2016 18

Moulds are forms of fungi that are found everywhere both indoors and outdoors all

year round. Outdoors, moulds live in the soil, on plants and on dead and decaying

matter. More than 1000 different kinds of indoor moulds have been found in

buildings. Moulds spread and reproduce by making spores, which are all small and

light-weight, able to travel through air, capable of resisting dry, adverse

environmental conditions, and hence capable of surviving a long time. Moulds need

moisture and nutrients to grow and their growth is stimulated by warm, damp and

humid conditions.

No readily-evident mould was observed in the designated study areas during

the course of the site inspection.

Control of exposure to mould is required under Section 25(2)(h) of the Ontario

Occupational Health and Safety Act, which states that employers shall take every

precaution reasonable in the circumstances for the protection of workers.

Recommended work practices are outlined in the following documents:

• Mould Guidelines for the Canadian Construction Industry. Standard

Construction Document CC82 2004. Canadian Construction

Association.

• EACO Mould Abatement Guidelines, 2004 — Edition 1,

Environmental Abatement Council of Ontario.

The inspection of mould was limited to visual observations of readily-accessible

surfaces and did not include intrusive inspections of wall cavities. During

renovations/demolition/modifications, any mould-impacted materials uncovered

should be misted or wetted with water to reduce airborne dust. The materials should

then be placed into a disposal bin and sealed. Workers involved in the demolition of

mould-impacted materials should wear appropriate protective clothing and equipment

and follow decontamination practices as outlined in the Canadian Construction

Association Standard Construction Document CCA-82 2004 - Mould Guidelines for

the Canadian Construction Industry.

3. Use and Limitations of this Pre-Demolition Designated Substances and

Hazardous Materials Survey Report

This report, prepared for the DEI & Associates Inc., does not provide certification or

warranty, expressed or implied, that the investigation conducted by ARCADIS

Canada Inc. identified all designated substances (as defined in the Ontario

Occupational Health and Safety Act) in the designated study areas at the subject

facility. The work undertaken by ARCADIS Canada Inc. was directed to provide

information on the presence of designated substances in building construction

materials based on visual inspection of readily accessible areas throughout the

building and on the results of laboratory analysis of a limited number of bulk samples

of material for asbestos content and laboratory analysis of a limited number of paint

samples for lead content. The survey did not include for identification of asbestos in

process materials, equipment (including electrical equipment and wiring), furniture

(e.g., chairs, table tops, chalkboards, etc.), nor material outside of the building

(e.g., asphaltic pavement).

The material in this report reflects ARCADIS Canada Inc. best judgment in light of the

information available at the time of the investigation, which was performed on March

17, 2016

This report is not intended to be used as a scope of work or technical specification for

remediation of designated substances or hazardous materials.

This report was prepared by ARCADIS Canada Inc. for DEI & Associates Inc. Any

use which any other party makes of the report, or reliance on, or decisions to be

based on it, is the responsibility of such parties.
