4 SFWMD District Structure S-197 April 2011 US 1at Canal C-111 Miami-Dade County, Florida DPS Project Number LBP1125 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Structure S-197 Diversified Professional Services Corp. (DPS) conducted a Lead Based Paint (LBP) survey of water control structure S-197 at Canal C-111, located east of US Highway 1, in Miami-Dade County. The structure is identified as S-197 by the SFWMD. It is our understanding that the District is planning to renovate and or demolish the structure. The purpose of this survey was to identify and sample painted surfaces to determine if LBP was applied onto the materials scheduled for removal or modification and to provide information regarding the identity, location, condition of these materials so that proper remediation and disposal methods can be evaluated. The survey was conducted on March 20, 2011 by Don Polanis an environmental engineer with DPS Corp. Nine samples were collected from the structure at six homogeneous areas. Based on the results of the testing none of the samples exceed the USEPA threshold for LBP 0f 5,000 ppm. DPS recommends that the Contractor review the results and formulate a site specific health and safety plan (HASP) in accordance with federal, state and their company health and safety policies. Should the Contractor dispose of structures with painted surfaces testing and disposal of those materials should be conducted in accordance with the EPA definitions outlined herein. Should the Contractor recycle the structure no additional testing is required. All scrap metals (as defined in Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 261.1(c)(6) and (9)) that are generated during the demolition of the structure must be recycled by a permitted recycling company and are exempt from hazardous waste management standards.

5 SFWMD District Structure S-193 January 2011 US 1at Canal C-111 page 1 Miami-Dade County, Florida DPS Project Number ASB INTRODUCTION DPS, conducted a LBP survey of the water control structure over Canal C-111 located east of US Highway 1, in Miami-Dade County. The structure is identified as SFWMD Structure number S The survey was conducted on March 20, 2011 by an environmental engineer. 1.1 Project Objective We understand this LBP survey was requested due to the planned renovation and or demolition of the structure. The LBP study was completed to classify different painted surfaces prior to planned disturbances or demolition activities. 2.0 STRUCTURE DESCRIPTION The structure is an earthen dam with corrugated metal pipes to convey water through the earthen dam and vertical culverts located upgradiant with mechanical gates to control water flow. The water control structure functions by opening and closing the gates mounted to large galvanized steel culverts. Sheet piling and concrete headwalls are used on the upstream and downstream sides of the structure and native soil forms an earthen dam crossing the C-111 canal. Water is channeled through the earthen dam via large diameter galvanized culverts. 3.0 FIELD ACTIVITIES 3.1 Sample Collection Based on results of the visual observation, samples of various painted surfaces were collected placed into sealable containers and labeled with unique sample numbers using an indelible marker. Nine samples were obtained from the structure at locations identified on the attached sketch. 3.2 Sample Analysis All nine paint samples were submitted to PEL laboratories, a NELAC accredited lab, for analysis. A copy of the laboratory report is attached. 4.0 REGULATORY OVERVIEW Specific regulations regarding lead based paints have been developed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). Lead-based paint is defined as a surface coating or paint containing lead in excess of 1.0 milligram per square centimeter (mg/cm2) or 0.5% by weight (US EPA Toxic Substance Control Act, Section 401). 0.5% is equivalent to 5000 parts per million (ppm). Based on regulations contained in the Lead-Based Paint Poisoning Prevention Act (LBPPPA) and promulgated by the Consumer Product Safety Commission

6 SFWMD District Structure S-197 April 2011 US 1at Canal C-111 Page 3 Miami-Dade County, Florida DPS Project Number LBP1125 (CPSC), lead-based paint is defined as paint containing more than 0.06% lead as of June In 1978, the CPSC banned the sale of lead-based paint to consumers. Under EPA regulations lead impacted wastes generated during abatement activities are handled as either a solid waste or a hazardous waste, depending on the amount and form of each of the heavy metals. If the maximum level of the metal in an extract of a representative sample of the waste stream proposed for disposal, as determined by a Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) laboratory analysis, is less than the regulatory level set in 40 CFR , then EPA regulations allow the material to be disposed of as solid waste at a solid waste landfill. If the TCLP analysis equals or exceeds the regulatory level, the material must be managed as a hazardous waste. The regulatory level for lead is 5.0 milligram per liter (mg/l). Impacted materials that are recycled, such as painted steel beams sent to a scrap metal yard, are not considered waste; therefore, they are exempt from waste disposal regulations, however other occupational and recycling regulations may apply. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) established the Lead Standard for the Construction Industry, 29 CFR , which applies to all construction work where an employee may be exposed to lead. These exposures include demolition and salvage of structures where lead or material containing lead are present and removal or encapsulation of materials containing lead, as well as alterations and repairs including painting and decorating. The standard defines the occupationally permissible exposure limit and specific requirements for construction work with and in lead materials. OSHA does not have a percentage lead in paint action level in their current construction lead standard. OSHA considers the lead regulation enforceable if the presence of any lead in paint at detectable concentrations is present when demolition or renovation activities are performed. Any abatement of the lead-based paint or cutting, sanding, and/or grinding of the structures painted with LBP should be performed in accordance with OSHA regulations. Demolition activities are regulated under the National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) statue for general dust control. Specifications for the proper work practices, controls and disposal should be developed to document compliance with all applicable regulations. All scrap metals (as defined in Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 261.1(c)(6) and (9)) are exempt from being subject to hazardous waste management standards in accordance with 40 CFR 261.4(a) and 40 CFR 261.6(a)(3). 5.0 FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Nine samples were collected from the structure at six homogeneous areas. Sample results ranged from not detected at Sample # 2 to 679 ppm at Sample #6. Based on the results of the testing none of the samples exceed the USEPA definition for LBP of 5,000 ppm.
