1 REAL ESTATE & FACILITIES MANAGEMENT Facilities Planning & Development Hazardous Materials Survey Of: MARPOLE PLACE ELEVATOR / MECHANICAL ROOMS Sampling Date: 2016/01/15 Building Code: 2035 Address: 1305 West 70 th Avenue, Vancouver, BC Surveyor: Patrick Li Work Notification Number: Requested By: Sandra Korpan Purpose: TARGETED HAZARDOUS MATERIAL SAMPLING Executive Summary A City of Vancouver Hazardous Materials Technician has completed a targeted hazardous materials survey of the Marpole Place (1305 West 70 th Ave) Elevator / Mechanical Rooms. This was completed as requested in preparation for upcoming Boiler Replacement and Elevator Repair Work. A targeted hazardous materials survey only identifies the hazardous building materials that could be encountered or disturbed by building workers or occupants during routine repair and maintenance and by minor, foreseeable damage. This was a non-destructive survey; therefore hidden materials were not addressed and any hidden materials which may contain asbestos, lead, PCBs or mercury should be assumed to be hazardous until sampling demonstrates otherwise.

2 Scope of Work A visual inspection of all areas within the Marpole Place (1305 West 70 th Ave) Elevator / Mechanical Rooms for the presence of building materials suspected to contain asbestos, lead, mould and other hazards such as mercury, PCBs, rodent/bird droppings, needles/sharps. Surficial sampling was conducted. An assessment of potentially hazardous materials, denoting their condition, potential for disturbance/damage, accessibility to workers or public, estimated quantity, if suspect asbestos containing, their friability, potential for fiber release and worker exposure was assessed. Collection and analysis of material samples from the Elevator / Mechanical Rooms for the presence of suspect hazardous materials. A risk assessment for the current condition of any damaged lead containing materials determined to be present within the buildings including the priorities for removal/repairs. Recommendations for the removal/repair of any damaged hazardous materials determined to require immediate action. Asbestos-Containing Material: Methodology and Results Materials sampled were selected based on our experience and guidelines provided by WorkSafeBC (Safe Work Practices for Handling Asbestos). Building materials were assessed for potential asbestos content and eight (8) representative samples have been analyzed for asbestos by COV-approved labs. Two (2) asbestos-containing materials were identified in the representative samples. Cinderblock walls may contain vermiculite insulation. No drilling was performed to access the inside of the bricks for this survey.

3 Lead-Based Paints and Coatings: Methodology and Results Total Lead in Paint Eight (8) representative samples of paint were collected to test for the presence of lead. The samples were analyzed at a COV-approved lab for total lead. Information from the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) suggests that the improper removal of lead paint containing 600 mg/kg lead results in airborne lead concentrations that exceed half of the exposure limit. Depending on the potential receptors and the work to be performed, paints with lead contents as low as 90 mg/kg can also result in dangerous airborne lead levels. A task-, and site-specific risk assessment must be conducted by City of Vancouver s Hazardous Materials Team to determine if an Exposure Control Plan and safe work procedures are required (Lead- Containing Paints and Coatings: Preventing Exposure in the Construction Industry, WSBC 2011). Two (2) of the paint samples exceeded the suggested exposure prevention limit of 600 mg/kg paint (Table 2). Leachable Results of Lead in Paint: No samples were analyzed for leachable lead. If required, leadbased paint should be tested for leachable lead prior to disposal to determine if they are hazardous waste as defined by BC Ministry of Environment.

PCBs: Fluorescent light fixtures in this property may contain PCBs within the light ballasts. The ballasts should be removed from the light fixture and placed in a secured area for inspection. If they are determined to contain PCBs they must be disposed of in accordance with BC Ministry of Environment regulations. SHARPS/NEEDLES: None observed BIOLOGICAL HAZARDS: None observed OZONE-DEPLETING SUBSTANCES: Refrigeration units may contain CFCs and must therefore be disposed of in accordance with the BC Ministry of Environment s Ozone- Depleting Substances and Halocarbons Regulations (2004). The units Page 3 of 8

4 SILICA-CONTAINING MATERIALS: Present in concrete foundation OTHER HAZARDS AND NOTES: None observed must be treated as CFC-containing until it has been determined otherwise. If any of these hazardous materials are to be disturbed, contact City of Vancouver Hazardous Material Team for assistance with risk assessment, control and disposal procedures. RISK ASSESSMENT AND RECOMMENDATIONS Prior to renovation or demolition activities, the hazardous materials identified in this report must be safely contained before disturbance. Depending on the areas to be renovated or demolished, additional destructive sampling may be required to identify asbestos-containing materials that were not accessed during this targeted hazardous materials survey.
