Project Number: December 10, 2012

2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ECOH Management Inc. (ECOH) was retained by The City of Toronto to conduct a pre-renovation designated substance and hazardous materials survey of the Good Neighbours Club Community Centre, located at 170 Jarvis Street, Toronto, Ontario. Mr. Steve Bizi of ECOH performed the fieldwork on November 28, ECOH understands the renovation work will include removal and replacement of flooring materials throughout the facility. At the specific request of the City of Toronto, the Pre-Renovation Survey is specifically limited to materials that could become disturbed during the flooring replacement project (e.g. flooring materials,, drywall joint compound and plaster at floor level, etc.) Should the scope of work for the project change such that additional materials could be disturbed, further investigation for designated substances should be performed. This survey report fulfils requirements set forth within the Ministry of Labour Codes as well as the Ontario Occupational Health and Safety Act to inform workers of the presence of Designated Substances prior to renovation. KEY FINDINGS & RECOMMENDATIONS Asbestos All potentially asbestos-containing materials within the project area were sampled during the investigation, and laboratory analysis indicated that these materials are non-asbestos. Removal or disturbance of materials confirmed to be non-asbestos does not require asbestos safety precautions but should employ general health and safety precautions that may include dust suppression. During project work, if any additional materials are found beyond those which are described in this report, or described in the existing inventory of asbestos-containing materials (i.e. materials not previously identified, or materials that are not homogenous to those previously identified, or materials that become revealed during the work), additional testing for asbestos-content should be completed immediately and prior to disturbance of the material. Alternatively, these materials can be assumed to contain asbestos, and the appropriate level of asbestos safety precautions must be implemented. Disturbance of asbestos-containing materials (assumed or confirmed) must comply with Ontario Regulation 278/05 Designated Substance Asbestos on Construction Projects and in Buildings and Repair Operations. Classification of the asbestos operation should be determined by an experienced and qualified person. Lead No other major sources of lead or lead-containing products were observed during the survey; however, lead may be present in: Wiring connectors and electric cable sheathing; and Piping and solder joints on piping. The removal of all lead-containing building materials should be conducted following recommendations detailed within the Ministry of Labour Guideline, Lead on Construction Projects, dated April Renovation, demolition or general construction work involving the removal of non lead-based paints (i.e. trace concentrations of lead below 0.5%, or 5000 ppm, by dry weight) can be completed without lead specific safety precautions provided that: ECOH Management Inc.

3 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Work does not include 'fume generating activities' (heat producing) such as welding, torching, burning, high temperature cutting, etc.; Dust levels are maintained below 3 mg/m 3 ; and General health and safety construction procedures are implemented, which would include dust suppression methods, proper respiratory protection (minimum of a ½-face respirator), and protective clothing, as is appropriate for the work being completed. Materials containing even trace amounts of lead should be removed without grinding, cutting, torching, or chemical stripping. Additionally, workers should employ general safety precautions such as appropriate dust suppression methods and proper personal protective equipment. Silica Any work involving the disturbance of materials that may contain silica should be conducted following recommendations detailed in the Ministry of Labour document Guideline - Silica on Construction Projects, dated April Complete commentary on each of the designated substances in the project area can be found in the body of this report.

(ECOH) was retained by The City of Toronto to conduct a pre-renovation designated substance survey of the Good Neighbours Club Community Centre, located at 170 Jarvis Street, Toronto, Ontario. Mr. Steve Bizi of ECOH performed the fieldwork on November 28, ECOH understands the renovation work will include removal and replacement of flooring materials throughout the facility. At the specific request of the City of Toronto, the Pre-Renovation Survey is specifically limited to materials which could become disturbed during the flooring replacement project e.g. flooring materials,, drywall joint compound and plaster at floor level, etc.). Should the scope of work for the project change such that additional materials could be disturbed, further investigation for designated substances should be performed. This survey report fulfils requirements set forth within the Ministry of Labour Codes as well as the Ontario Occupational Health and Safety Act to inform workers of the presence of Designated Substances prior to renovation. The survey included an investigation for the presence of designated substances, namely: Asbestos Benzene Lead Coke Oven Emissions Mercury Ethylene Oxide Silica Isocyanates Acrylonitrile Vinyl Chloride Monomer Arsenic And, in addition, investigation for: Mould Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCB)s Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS) Urea Formaldehyde Foam Insulation (UFFI) The following report details the project scope of work, regulatory requirements, survey and analytical methodologies, survey statement of limitations, and findings and recommendations. 1.2 Regulatory Requirements Regulatory requirements and guidelines applicable to the designated substances and environmental issues noted above include, but are not limited, to the following: Ontario Occupational Health and Safety Act and applicable Regulations including; Designated Substances Ontario Regulation 490/09; and Designated Substance Asbestos on Construction Projects and in Buildings and Repair Operations Ontario Regulation 278/05.

The surveyor looked for the most common applications of building materials made with Designated Substances based on historical applications. 2.2 Asbestos Survey Methodology Asbestos Sampling Strategy and Analytical Methods Where required during the designated substances and hazardous materials survey, bulk samples of potentially asbestos-containing materials were collected for analysis, as per the requirements of Ontario Regulation 278/05; multiple samples (ranging from 3 to 7 depending on quantity and type of material) are required to confirm the absence of asbestos. Only one positive result (i.e. confirming the presence of asbestos) is required to classify a material as asbestos-containing. Therefore, ECOH s sampling strategy involves the collection of sufficient numbers of samples to meet regulatory requirements, followed by instructions to the laboratory to cease analysis when one sample within a series has already proven positive for asbestos. Sampling requires a small volume of material either to be removed from a damaged section of suspect material, or cut from intact material, and then repaired by sealing with tape in order to prevent fibre release. The collected samples were placed in plastic bags and sealed during shipment to an independent laboratory. A formal chain of custody procedure was maintained between ECOH and the sub-contracted laboratory during sample transport. Samples were then analysed following the analytical procedure prescribed by Ontario Regulation 278/05: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Test Method EPA/600/R-93/116: Method for the Determination of Asbestos in Bulk Building Materials, June Although not required by provincial regulation, all laboratories used by ECOH are accredited under the U.S. National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) to ensure consistent, accurate, and defensible results. See Appendix I for the Chain of Custody and the Certificate of Analysis, which detail analytical results for all bulk samples referenced in the findings section. 2.3 Lead Methodology The presence of lead in paint was assessed by the use of an X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) spectrum analyzer. The analyzer reports results instantaneously in units of mg/cm 2. Calibration of the analyzer was completed using a performance characteristic sheet, which stipulates calibration check ECOH Management Inc. Page 2

In cases in which XRF results were ambiguous, samples were submitted to a professional laboratory for further analysis by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. 2.4 Mould Assessment The mould assessment of the project area was conducted in accordance with the Canadian Construction Association, Standard Construction Document CCA 82, 2004; Mould Guidelines for the Canadian Construction Industry. Although there are no regulatory requirements or guidelines in Ontario for such an assessment, the preceding protocol has become accepted as the industry standard by most experts, consultants, and the Ontario Ministry of Labour. 2.5 Survey of Other Hazardous Materials Materials or equipment suspected of containing ODS, PCBs, UFFI and other Designated Substances are identified by appearance, age and knowledge of historic applications. 3.
