138 ENTEK Other Hazardous Materials Entek did not specifically inspect for mercury containing fluorescent light tubes or light ballasts which may contain polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), thermostats which may contain mercury switches, equipment or systems which may contain Freon or other fluorocarbons, or smoke detectors which may contain a radioactive element. However, information pertaining to these materials is included in this report for your use and reference if needed. Introduction This report presents results of an asbestos and lead survey performed by Entek Consulting Group, Inc. (Entek) which included all interior and exterior areas of the Transportation Office and Break Room Portables located at the Buckeye Union School District Transportation Yard, 2480 Merrychase Drive, Cameron Park, CA I conducted this survey on February 28, I am a US EPA Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA)-accredited building inspector, Cal/OSHA Certified Asbestos Consultant (CAC) and State of California Department of Public Health (CDPH) certified Lead Inspector/Assessor. Building Description The Transportation Office portable has carpet flooring, vinyl cove base at all lower walls, pressed wood wall panels over untaped drywall and a suspended ceiling with fiberglass 2'x4' drop in ceiling panels. The exterior walls are wood and the roof is metal with roof sealants at edges, seams, screw heads, etc. The heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) unit is mounted at the east exterior wall of the portable. The Transportation Break Room portable has carpet and sheet vinyl flooring, vinyl cove base at all lower walls, pressed wood wall panels over plywood and a suspended ceiling with fiberglass 2'x4' drop in ceiling panels. The exterior walls are wood and the roof is metal with roof sealants at edges, seams, screw heads, etc. The heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) unit is mounted at the north exterior wall of the portable. Asbestos Inspection and Sample Collection Protocols Entek included in this survey all interior and exterior areas associated with the subject buildings. Bulk samples were collected of various materials suspected to contain asbestos by utilizing a power drill and coring tube, cutting the materials with a razor knife, or use of other appropriate hand tools. Miscellaneous materials were collected from each homogenous area in a manner sufficient to determine whether the material is or is not ACM as required in 40 CFR Part 763, Asbestos-Containing Materials in Schools; Final Rule and Notice, published October 30, Hazardous Materials Survey Report Buckeye USD, Transportation Office & Break Room Portables 4

139 ENTEK Approximate locations of all samples collected during this inspection are indicated on the Bulk Asbestos Material Analysis Request Form for Entek, which served as the chain of custody for the samples, and on the building diagrams attached to this report. Asbestos Bulk Sample Results There were several materials observed which are considered suspect under US EPA guidelines. Under current US EPA guidelines for conducting building inspections for ACM, all "suspect" materials must be assumed to contain asbestos until otherwise determined by laboratory testing. The samples of materials suspected of containing asbestos were submitted to Asbestech Laboratory located in Carmichael, California. Asbestech is accredited by the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) to perform analysis of asbestos in bulk materials by Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) using EPA Method 600/R-93/II6. A total of eight (8) bulk samples were collected during this survey. Some of the samples contained multiple layers which were individually analyzed to determine their asbestos content. Results of the analyses are listed in the following tables: Suspect Materials Found or Known TO Contain >1% Asbestos (CAT-I) Transportation Break Room Portable Sample ID# s Suspect Material Asbestos Content/Type Location Total Estimated Quantity ECG Transport-08A W hite Sealant on Metal Roof 1-5% Chrysotile Found on the metal roof of the Transportation Break Room Portable 5 Square Feet Suspect Materials Found NOT TO Contain Asbestos Transportation Office & Break Room Portables Sample ID# s Suspect Material EPA AHERA Suspected ACBM Asbestos Content Location ECG Transport-01A, 05A ECG Transport-02A, 07A Yellow Carpet Adhesive W hite Cove Base Adhesive Miscellaneous None Detected Transportation Office & Break Room Portables Miscellaneous None Detected Transportation Office & Break Room Portables ECG Transport-03A Drywall Miscellaneous None Detected Transportation Office Portable, Behind Pressed W ood W all Panels Hazardous Materials Survey Report Buckeye USD, Transportation Office & Break Room Portables 5

These terms include miscellaneous, surfacing, and thermal system insulation (TSI). Miscellaneous materials are building materials on structural components, structural members or fixtures, such as floor and ceiling tiles, and does not include surfacing material or TSI. Surfacing materials are materials that are sprayed-on, troweled-on, or otherwise applied to surfaces, such as acoustical plaster on ceiling and fireproofing materials on structural members, or other materials on surfaces for acoustical, fireproofing, or other purposes. TSI is material applied to pipes, fittings, boilers, breeching, tanks, ducts, or other structural components to prevent heat loss or gain, water condensation, or for other purposes. The information provided in the tables of this report are for use by the Owner in determining where asbestos containing materials are located, and whether or not any future work may impact those materials. The information is also provided for use by any contractor who may perform work in areas impacting the materials listed in this report, and for use as appropriate by asbestos abatement contractors to provide costs related to work impacting ACM. Any building materials which are considered suspect for containing asbestos which have not been identified in this report must be assumed to contain asbestos in amounts >1% until properly investigated and/or tested. Materials commonly excluded from being suspected for containing asbestos include, but are not limited to: unwrapped pink and yellow fiberglass insulating materials or products, foam insulation, bare concrete, wood, metal, plastic, or glass. All other types of building materials or coatings on the materials listed above are commonly listed as suspect and must be tested prior to impact by a Contractor.

141 ENTEK Asbestos Regulatory Requirements US EPA The US EPA NESHAP (40 CFR Part 61 - Nov. 20, 1990) requires materials containing greater than one percent asbestos be removed prior to renovation or demolition of a regulated building, if those materials are friable, or likely to become friable due to the forces expected to act upon them during a renovation or demolition project. In California there are delegated counties or districts which enforce the NESHAP regulations, and may have regulations more restrictive than the US EPA. The property included in this inspection is located in El Dorado County. The US EPA NESHAP asbestos regulations are jointly enforced in this county by the US EPA Region lx and CARB. A demolition is the wrecking, taking out, or burning of any load supporting structural member. A renovation is everything else. 10 day written notification to the US EPA Region IX and CARB is required prior to the performance of any demolition project regardless of asbestos being present or not. This notification would also apply to any renovation project which involves the wrecking, taking out, or burning of any load bearing structural member. The roof sealant on the Transportation Break Room portable which was found to contain asbestos, would not be regulated by the US EPA or CARB since it is a non-friable material and the quantity does not exceed 160 square feet, 260 linear feet or 35 cubic feet. Therefore, 10 day asbestos related notification would not be required prior to removal of this material. However, 10 day demolition related notification is required for all buildings which will be demolished on this project. Cal/OSHA Disturbance of any ACM or ACCM could generate airborne asbestos fibers and would be regulated by Cal/OSHA. Cal/OSHA worker health and safety regulations apply during any disturbance of ACM or ACCM by a person while in the employ of another. This is true regardless of friability or quantity disturbed. If more than 100 square feet of ACM does exist and will be impacted during the upcoming project, a licensed asbestos contractor, certified by the State of California, and registered with Cal/OSHA is required to perform the asbestos related removal work. Entek recommends a licensed asbestos contractor be used to remove any amount of asbestos on this project. For compliance with Title 8, Section 341.9, the asbestos contractor must send written notice at least one day (24 hours) prior to start of any work which will impact any amount of asbestos to the local office for the State of California, Department of Occupational Safety and Health, and perform all work in accordance with Cal/OSHA requirements.

142 ENTEK Lead Sampling Results One (1) bulk sample of tan exterior paint was collected from the exterior walls of the Transportation Office and Break Room Portables and placed into one sample bag. The sample was analyzed by atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS). Asbestech is accredited through the California State Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program (ELAP) for this type of analysis. Results of the analysis is listed in the following table: Paint Determined Not To Contain Lead (At or Above 50 ppm) Paint Color Lead Content Component/Location Tan Paint on Exterior Siding <50 ppm Exterior W ood W alls of Transportation Office & Break Room Portables Since the tan exterior paint sampled during this survey was not reported to contain lead at or above the laboratories reporting limit of 50 ppm, it is considered to not contain lead. Therefore, no special lead related training or work practices are required when disturbing this paint. The interior of the portables are void of painted components. Fluorescent Light Tubes and Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) Fluorescent light tubes which contain mercury are considered a universal waste and must be packaged and recycled appropriately if they are removed from a building and not used again. The regulation, called the Universal Waste Rule, are in the California Code of Regulations (CCR), Title 22, Division 4.5, Chapter 23. Fluorescent light tubes are the bulb or tube portion of an electric lighting device and are commonly referred to as lamps. Examples of other common electric lamps considered to be universal wastes include, but are not limited to, high intensity discharge, neon, mercury vapor, high pressure sodium, and metal halide lamps. Any lamp which is not spent and has been designated to be reused is not classified as a waste and does not meet the requirements of a hazardous waste or a universal waste. Spent lamps typically contain concentrations of mercury exceeding the established Total Threshold Limit Concentration (TTLC) and/or the Soluble Threshold Limit Concentration (STLC) values. Therefore, these lamps must be sent to an authorized recycle facility or to a universal waste consolidator for shipment to an authorized recycling facility. At a minimum, if removed lamps will not be reused they must be packaged in boxes/ packages/containers which are structurally sound, adequate to prevent breakage, and compatible with the content of the lamps. These packages must remain closed and be free of damage which could cause leakage under reasonably foreseeable conditions. Each container must be labeled or marked clearly with one of the following phrases: Universal Waste Lamp(s), or Waste Lamp(s), or Used Lamp(s). Entek recommends shipping any lamp not designated for reuse to a universal waste recycling facility once they have been packaged. Hazardous Materials Survey Report Buckeye USD, Transportation Office & Break Room Portables 8

143 ENTEK PCB containing light ballasts are to be considered a hazardous waste, and must be properly manifested for transport to a hazardous waste facility. Any contractor who may perform PCB related work (inspection, removal, clean-up) must be trained and qualified to do so. All workers must also follow current OSHA regulations including 29 CFR and 8 CCR 5192, as well as, other applicable federal, state, and local laws, and regulations. While light ballasts marked No PCB are not considered a hazardous waste, they are considered a universal waste. As a result, removal, packaging, and disposal/recycling of these types of ballasts must be conducted in accordance with current regulations. Thermostats With Mercury Switches It is possible existing thermostats utilize switches containing mercury. The mercury in these switches would be considered a hazardous waste if removed and disposed. Any work requiring removal of thermostats containing mercury switches, must include having the switches inspected for the presence of mercury, and subsequently following all requirements for packaging and disposal of any switch found to contain mercury. Freon and Fluorocarbons Freon and other fluorocarbon products associated with HVAC systems, refrigerators, etc. may be present in or on the exterior of the buildings included in this investigation. Prior to demolition of a structure or removal of existing HVAC systems, refrigerators, or any other type of equipment which typically uses these types of coolant products shall have the coolant materials investigated prior to their demolition and removed from the mechanical systems and recycled in accordance with Cal/EPA requirements. Smoke Detectors Which May Contain a Radioactive Element It is possible existing smoke detectors contain a radioactive element. These types of detectors are easily identified by reviewing the label which is usually found on the back of the detector. Older units may display the international radiation symbol (three bladed propeller) and the radioactive content. Newer units state the radioactive content and their Nuclear Regulatory Agency (NRC) license number. Any work requiring the removal of smoke detectors with a radioactive element must include contacting the manufacturer of the smoke detector to determine their return policies. The California Department of Toxic Substance Control (DTSC) has stated that it is a condition of the manufacturers NRC license they must accept returned units for disposal. Limitations Entek performed minor destructive sampling of floors, walls and ceilings in an effort to identify asbestos materials in such locations. However, it still may be possible for materials to be hidden in areas which are not included in this report. Furthermore, Entek did not employ any destructive measures on exterior areas covered with asphalt, concrete, or dirt.

170 ENTEK Asbestos Regulatory Requirements US EPA The US EPA NESHAP (40 CFR Part 61 - Nov. 20, 1990) requires materials containing greater than one percent asbestos be removed prior to renovation or demolition of a regulated building, if those materials are friable, or likely to become friable due to the forces expected to act upon them during a renovation or demolition project. In California there are delegated counties or districts which enforce the NESHAP regulations, and may have regulations more restrictive than the US EPA. The property included in this inspection is located in El Dorado County. The US EPA NESHAP asbestos regulations are jointly enforced in this county by the US EPA Region lx and CARB. A demolition is the wrecking, taking out, or burning of any load supporting structural member. A renovation is everything else. 10 day written notification to the US EPA Region IX and CARB is required prior to the performance of any demolition project regardless of asbestos being present or not. This notification would also apply to any renovation project which involves the wrecking, taking out, or burning of any load bearing structural member. The roof sealant on the former Board Room portable which was found to contain asbestos, would not be regulated by the US EPA or CARB since it is a non-friable material and the quantity does not exceed 160 square feet, 260 linear feet or 35 cubic feet. Therefore, 10 day asbestos related notification would not be required prior to removal of this material. However, 10 day demolition related notification to the US EPA Region lx and CARB is required for all buildings which will be demolished on this project. Cal/OSHA Disturbance of any ACM or ACCM could generate airborne asbestos fibers and would be regulated by Cal/OSHA. Cal/OSHA worker health and safety regulations apply during any disturbance of ACM or ACCM by a person while in the employ of another. This is true regardless of friability or quantity disturbed. If more than 100 square feet of ACM does exist and will be impacted during the upcoming project, a licensed asbestos contractor, certified by the State of California, and registered with Cal/OSHA is required to perform the asbestos related removal work. Entek recommends a licensed asbestos contractor be used to remove any amount of asbestos on this project. For compliance with Title 8, Section 341.9, the asbestos contractor must send written notice at least one day (24 hours) prior to start of any work which will impact any amount of asbestos to the local office for the State of California, Department of Occupational Safety and Health, and perform all work in accordance with Cal/OSHA requirements.

171 ENTEK Lead Sampling Results Five (5) bulk samples of paint were collected from interior and exterior surfaces of the buildings included on this project. This included three samples of white paint on interior drywall and tan paint on exterior wood siding. These two colors of paint were the predominant paints found during this survey. The samples were analyzed by atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS). Asbestech is accredited through the California State Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program (ELAP) for this type of analysis. Results of the analyses are listed in the following table: Paint Determined Not To Contain Lead (At or Above 50 ppm) Paint Color Lead Content Component/Location W hite Paint on Drywall <50 ppm Former Unit M and N, Interior W all Surfaces Tan Paint on Exterior Siding <50 ppm Former Unit M, N & Board Room, Exterior W ood Siding Since none of the paints sampled during this survey were reported to contain lead at or above the laboratories reporting limit of 50 ppm, they are considered to not contain lead. Therefore, no special lead related training or work practices are required when disturbing these paints. Fluorescent Light Tubes and Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) Fluorescent light tubes which contain mercury are considered a universal waste and must be packaged and recycled appropriately if they are removed from a building and not used again. The regulation, called the Universal Waste Rule, are in the California Code of Regulations (CCR), Title 22, Division 4.5, Chapter 23. Fluorescent light tubes are the bulb or tube portion of an electric lighting device and are commonly referred to as lamps. Examples of other common electric lamps considered to be universal wastes include, but are not limited to, high intensity discharge, neon, mercury vapor, high pressure sodium, and metal halide lamps. Any lamp which is not spent and has been designated to be reused is not classified as a waste and does not meet the requirements of a hazardous waste or a universal waste. Spent lamps typically contain concentrations of mercury exceeding the established Total Threshold Limit Concentration (TTLC) and/or the Soluble Threshold Limit Concentration (STLC) values. Therefore, these lamps must be sent to an authorized recycle facility or to a universal waste consolidator for shipment to an authorized recycling facility. At a minimum, if removed lamps will not be reused they must be packaged in boxes/ packages/containers which are structurally sound, adequate to prevent breakage, and compatible with the content of the lamps. These packages must remain closed and be free of damage which could cause leakage under reasonably foreseeable conditions. Each container must be labeled or marked clearly with one of the following phrases: Universal Waste Lamp(s), or Waste Lamp(s), or Used Lamp(s). Entek recommends shipping any Hazardous Materials Survey Report Form er District Facilities (Unit M, Unit N, Board Room) 9

172 ENTEK lamp not designated for reuse to a universal waste recycling facility once they have been packaged. PCB containing light ballasts are to be considered a hazardous waste, and must be properly manifested for transport to a hazardous waste facility. Any contractor who may perform PCB related work (inspection, removal, clean-up) must be trained and qualified to do so. All workers must also follow current OSHA regulations including 29 CFR and 8 CCR 5192, as well as, other applicable federal, state, and local laws, and regulations. While light ballasts marked No PCB are not considered a hazardous waste, they are considered a universal waste. As a result, removal, packaging, and disposal/recycling of these types of ballasts must be conducted in accordance with current regulations. Thermostats With Mercury Switches It is possible existing thermostats utilize switches containing mercury. The mercury in these switches would be considered a hazardous waste if removed and disposed. Any work requiring removal of thermostats containing mercury switches, must include having the switches inspected for the presence of mercury, and subsequently following all requirements for packaging and disposal of any switch found to contain mercury. Freon and Fluorocarbons Freon and other fluorocarbon products associated with HVAC systems, refrigerators, etc. may be present in or on the exterior of the buildings included in this investigation. Prior to demolition of a structure or removal of existing HVAC systems, refrigerators, or any other type of equipment which typically uses these types of coolant products shall have the coolant materials investigated prior to their demolition and removed from the mechanical systems and recycled in accordance with Cal/EPA requirements. Smoke Detectors Which May Contain a Radioactive Element It is possible existing smoke detectors contain a radioactive element. These types of detectors are easily identified by reviewing the label which is usually found on the back of the detector. Older units may display the international radiation symbol (three bladed propeller) and the radioactive content. Newer units state the radioactive content and their Nuclear Regulatory Agency (NRC) license number. Any work requiring the removal of smoke detectors with a radioactive element must include contacting the manufacturer of the smoke detector to determine their return policies. The California Department of Toxic Substance Control (DTSC) has stated that it is a condition of the manufacturers NRC license they must accept returned units for disposal. Limitations Entek performed minor destructive sampling of floors, walls and ceilings in an effort to identify asbestos materials in such locations. However, it still may be possible for materials to be hidden in areas which are not included in this report. Furthermore, Entek did not employ any destructive measures on exterior areas covered with asphalt, concrete, or dirt.
