3 Pre-Renovation Hazardous Materials Survey Report, CFB Edmonton Pool July 14, 2016 Executive Summary McElhanney Consulting Services Ltd. (McElhanney) was retained by Republic Architecture (the Client ) on behalf of CFB Edmonton to conduct a Pre-Demolition Hazardous Materials Survey (Hazmat) at the Athletic Centre Pool (herein referred to as the Site ). For this project, the scope of work included the sampling of suspected asbestos containing materials (ACMs) and lead based paints with its substrate. Samples collected included vermiculite insulation, drywall and paint colours. Samples were submitted to AGAT Environmental Laboratories for analysis. Although the Site is federally owned and operated by CFB Edmonton, this hazardous materials assessment was performed in accordance with Alberta provincial Health and Environmental guidelines and standards for applicable parameters. Applicable regulatory bodies and guidance s include the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHS), Alberta Building Code, Alberta Occupational Health and Safety Code (2009) regulations and the Alberta Asbestos Abatement Manual. It is understood that the Client intends to renovate a portion of the pool building including the roof trusses (support system). This renovation includes the removal and disturbance of interior and exterior paints, walls and concrete surfaces. The work plan for this project was developed to target potentially hazardous material areas that will be or are suspected to be impacted as a result of the renovation works. Materials sampled for ACM content during the Hazmat included sprayed limpet asbestos insulation, drywall and fibrous insulation vapour barrier material. Based on laboratory results of the seven (7) submitted suspected asbestos containing material samples, McElhanney determined that three (3) samples (AS-1, AS-2 and AS-3) were found to positively contain asbestos. These three samples were reported as 0.5-5%, SP (Stop Positive) and SP respectively. These three samples represent bulk sampling of the sprayed limpet asbestos insulation. This material (where placed in the pool building) as being found exceeding the guideline limitation of 0.1% should all be considered hazardous if disturbed. See Photo #2 in Appendix A for a view of the representative sample location for AS-1. The laboratory results did not identify asbestos in drywall or the fibrous vapour barrier samples taken from interior walls. All material was observed in fair condition; no additional ACMs were determined. Should potential asbestos be observed during renovation or demolition (within walls or above the interior ceiling) please stop work and contact McElhanney immediately. ACM materials (greater than 0.1 % Asbestos) that may be disturbed or removed during demolition and/or renovations must be handled as per the Alberta Occupational Health and Safety Code 2009 regulations and the Alberta Asbestos Abatement Manual. Four (4) select samples of paint with its substrate were collected and submitted for lead leachate testing. The purpose of the testing was to determine if the leachate generated from the samples would be hazardous or non-hazardous as defined in the regulations. If determined to be hazardous, special disposal provisions and handling requirements would be required, as per the local Environmental Public Health Services, and Alberta Occupational Health and Safety regulations and/or Code. Based on laboratory results of the four (4) submitted paint samples, McElhanney determined that all but one paint sample (PS-1 39 mg/kg) exceeded the guideline limitation of 90 mg/kg. PS-2 through PS-4 were reported as containing 314 mg/kg, 209 mg/kg and 180 mg/kg respectively. These three (3) paint samples used within and on the exterior roof support system (including bow trusses, etc.) of the Site building were found to exceed the guideline of 90 mg/kg and are to be considered as hazardous Page i

4 Although the PS-1 sample was found to only contain 39 mg/kg, it is still considered lead containing and, as a best management practice, should be disposed of during the required lead abatement process. See Section 3 Table 2 for Lead Analytical Results for the various paint colours and locations. Paint that is determined as hazardous should be dealt with according to guideline requirements of the Environmental Public Health Service and current Alberta Occupational Health and Safety regulations Page ii

6 Pre-Renovation Hazardous Materials Survey Report, CFB Edmonton Pool July 14, Introduction McElhanney Consulting Services Ltd. (McElhanney) was retained by Republic Architecture (the Client ) on behalf of CFB Edmonton (Department of Defense Canada) to conduct a Pre-Demolition Hazardous Materials Survey (Hazmat) at the Athletic Centre Pool Renovation herein referred to as the Site. The Site location is presented below in Figure 1. The Athletic Centre Pool building structure consisted of slab on grade concrete floor, concrete cinder block interior and exterior walls with additional wood stud and drywall interior walled rooms. The interior was open space (pool) for approximately 70% of the area and a few various sized rooms (dressing, storage and inferred maintenance). Site photos (Photo 1 to 7) taken during the June 30 th, 2016 site visit are provided in Appendix A. Figure 1: Site Location, CFB Edmonton Athletic Centre Pool Page 1

7 2. Assessment Methodology Pre-Renovation Hazardous Materials Survey Report, CFB Edmonton Pool July 14, 2016 Site specific tasks for the assignment included the following: Site visit to review the existing building conditions; Collection of representative samples of suspected ACMs and lead in paint (with substrate) materials for laboratory analysis; Review and analysis of analytical results; and Preparation of this summary report. 2.1 CONFIRMATORY SAMPLING As a result of the inferred age and observed construction details of the structure, McElhanney reviewed the existing building surfaces for the presence of ACMs and lead containing paint. Representative samples were collected based on the age, condition, composition and location of the material being sampled. Sampling was limited to visually accessible areas of the proposed renovation of the structure Asbestos Asbestos is a hazardous material as defined in the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHS), Alberta Building Code, Alberta Asbestos Abatement Manual and Alberta Occupational Health and Safety Code (2009) regulations. Buildings built before 1990 may contain ACMs. Asbestos is identified as a designated substance in the Alberta Occupational Health and Safety Code (2009). If there is more than 10 kg of pure asbestos, or asbestos-containing material that has more than 0.1 per cent asbestos by weight and the amount exceeds 10 kg, the employer must establish a code of practice governing the storage, handling, use and disposal of the asbestos. If there is a possibility that the fibers may be released in an uncontrolled manner, the employer must also establish a code of practice governing procedures to be followed to prevent uncontrolled release and procedures to be followed in the event of a release. For the purposes of interpretation, a code of practice is not mandatory for materials containing less than one per cent asbestos by weight. This applies to the specific material, not the total waste. Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Act, Alberta Building Code as well as portions of the Alberta Asbestos Abatement Manual and Alberta Occupational Health and Safety Code (2009) regulations stipulates that the presence of asbestos in building materials equal to or greater than 0.05 mg/m 3 must be handled as an ACM. This requires special handling, management, disposal and assessment by qualified professionals. Depending on the existing condition, location and type of fiber present, ACMs pose varying levels of risk and as such differentiates between friable and non-friable ACMs. A friable ACM is a material that is crumbled or powdered, or can be crumbled or powdered by hand pressure. Non-friable materials such as vinyl floor tiles can become friable if they are for example cut, drilled, sanded or otherwise modified to generate and release dust from the media Page 2

8 Pre-Renovation Hazardous Materials Survey Report, CFB Edmonton Pool July 14, 2016 The Alberta Building Code is the provincial legislation that has specific prohibitions on the types of asbestos products that can be used in buildings. The Code also has provisions regarding when asbestos containing building products had to be removed or otherwise managed in buildings being demolished or renovated. These provisions have been transferred to the Occupational Health and Safety Code. Sampling procedures generally followed Section Sampling of Materials Suspected to Contain Asbestos of the Alberta Asbestos Abatement Manual (2012). Including the following; Bulk samples of materials suspected to contain asbestos must be collected by a competent person. It is considered to be a low risk activity and the appropriate procedures need to be followed. (1) Sample materials when the immediate area is not in use and there are no unprotected workers nearby. (Only the persons doing the sampling should be in the immediate area.) (2) Spray the material with a light mist of water. (3) Take the sample in a manner that avoids disturbing it any more than necessary. If there is a cover over the suspected asbestos which must be damaged for access, it must be properly repaired immediately after the sample is collected. (4) Take a representative sample from within the material by penetrating the entire depth of the material, since materials may have been applied in more than one layer or covered with paint or another protective coating. (5) Ensure that materials having different appearances, colours or textures are sampled separately. (6) Place the samples in sealable, impervious containers and label them as laboratory samples. The containers should have WHMIS labels that contain the following information (sample quantity less than 10 kg): a. Product identifier b. A statement to the effect that the material may contain asbestos. c. The statement Hazardous laboratory sample. For hazard information or in an emergency call and an emergency telephone number. (7) If pieces of the material break during sampling, clean the contaminated area with a vacuum cleaner equipped with a HEPA-filtered exhaust or by wet-wiping. Where necessary, polyethylene drop cloths should be placed under the sample area to catch and contain loose waste generated during sampling. (8) The workers doing the sampling must wear an appropriate respirator (at least a half-mask airpurifying respirator equipped with high efficiency particulate filters) and should also wear disposable gloves and change gloves each time a sample is collected. The gloves will be disposed of as asbestos waste. (9) Ensure that sampling tools and other equipment used during sampling are properly decontaminated. (10) Put waste materials into labelled bag appropriate for asbestos waste Page 3

9 Pre-Renovation Hazardous Materials Survey Report, CFB Edmonton Pool July 14, 2016 Materials sampled for ACM content during the Hazmat included sprayed limpet asbestos insulation, drywall and fibrous insulation (inferred) vapour barrier material. Based on laboratory results of the seven (7) submitted suspected asbestos containing material samples, McElhanney determined that three (3) samples (AS-1, AS-2 and AS-3) were found to positively contain asbestos. These three samples were reported as 0.5-5%, SP (Stop Positive) and SP respectively. These three samples represent bulk sampling of the sprayed limpet asbestos insulation. This material (where placed in the pool building) as being found exceeding the guideline limitation of 0.1% should all be considered hazardous if disturbed. See Photo #2 in Appendix A for a view of the representative sample location for AS Lead in Paint The content of lead in paints is regulated at the federal level in Canada. In June 2009, the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act (CCPSA) was passed and the definition of lead paint changed. In the Surface Coating Materials Regulations (SCMR) made under the CCPSA, the concentration of total lead in a surface coating material may not exceed 90 mg/kg (ppm or about 0.009%) when a dried sample is tested in accordance with a method that conforms to good laboratory practices. Lead abatement and management requires qualified professionals and contractors to safely handle and dispose of the lead impacted surfaces. Lead-containing paints and coatings do not present a hazard if they remain intact. The health risks occur when paints are chipped, peeled or are otherwise disturbed. The disturbance of lead-containing materials may generate dust within the work environment causing the potential for inhalation or ingestion by the occupants and/or workers. Analytical paint samples were collected and submitted for each colour observed on the exterior and interior surfaces. Analytical results were compared to the above stated SCMR guideline presented within the AB Occupational Health and Safety Bulletin (November 1013) and the results are presented below: Based on laboratory results of the four (4) submitted paint samples, McElhanney determined that all but one paint sample (PS-1 39 mg/kg) exceeded the guideline limitation of 90 mg/kg. PS-2 through PS-4 were reported as containing 314 mg/kg, 209 mg/kg and 180 mg/kg respectively. These three (3) paint samples used within and on the exterior roof support system (including bow trusses, etc.) of the Site building were found to exceed the guideline of 90 mg/kg and are to be considered as hazardous. Although the PS-1 sample was found to only contain 39 mg/kg, it is still considered lead containing and, as a best management practice, should be disposed of during the required lead abatement process. See Section 3 Table 2 for Lead Analytical Results for the various paint colours and locations Page 4

10 Pre-Renovation Hazardous Materials Survey Report, CFB Edmonton Pool July 14, Results The Site visit was conducted June 30 th, McElhanney was accompanied by Mr. Dennis Kikuchi a Department of Defense Canada representative. Samples were collected of potential ACMs and paint then were delivered via strict Chain of Custody (COC) to AGAT Environmental Laboratories in Calgary for analysis. 3.1 ANALYTICAL RESULTS Tables 1 and 2 summarize the samples collected, identify laboratory results of asbestos or lead in paint reported and the condition of the materials (Photos 1 to 10) as observed at the sampling locations.

12 Pre-Renovation Hazardous Materials Survey Report, CFB Edmonton Pool July 14, Recommendations Based on the findings of this investigation and the observations of the materials identified on the Site, McElhanney recommends the following measures be taken by the Client: 4.1 Asbestos Containing Materials Adherence to the applicable Sections (Part 2 & 4) of the Alberta Occupational Health & Safety Code (2009) when working around designated asbestos containing areas. Development of an Exposure Control (Management) Plan by a qualified professional. Place appropriate signage around building notifying workers of the existence of Asbestos. It is our understanding and recommendation that following the removal of the paint by washing, concrete surfaces will be inspected and either, any areas that appear to have concrete parging will be treated as ACMs or more samples will be collected to determine the extent of the ACM material. In areas not accessible during the Site visit (walls or attic), asbestos containing substances may exist. Should materials be encountered which may contain asbestos (vermiculite insulation, concrete parging, etc.), work should be stopped in this area and the materials assessed by a qualified professional. Sampling and analysis of the suspect material(s) may be required in order to confirm. 4.2 Lead Based Paints Place appropriate signage stating potential for exposure to high levels of Lead. Lead based paints can be encapsulated. Loose or flaking areas should be repaired or abated per applicable guideline requirements. Where possible (and if applicable), lead abatement work should be completed during ACM removal to minimize the need for additional barriers. Following removal or abatement of lead based paints clearance sampling must be completed to determine if the lead in dust content is within acceptable tolerances. Results must be received and accepted by a qualified professional prior to barrier removal. For landfill disposal, it is recommended that wastewaters (or thinners) generated from washing lead based paints must be sampled for lead leachate analysis. The results of the testing will allow for disposal of the waste and determine if the leachate is hazardous or non-hazardous and if special disposal options and handling are required. Although the PS-1 sample was found to only contain 39 mg/kg, it is still considered lead containing and, as a best management practice, should be disposed of during the required lead abatement process. Legislation under Alberta s Occupational Health and Safety Code 25 has general and specific requirements related to lead. Occupational exposure limits (OELs) are provided for lead compounds. These limits apply to workers directly or indirectly involved with tasks using lead. o if a worker may be exposed to lead at the work site an employer must identify the health hazards associated Page 7

13 Pre-Renovation Hazardous Materials Survey Report, CFB Edmonton Pool July 14, 2016 o o o o o o o o o with the exposure and assess the worker s exposure procedures must be established to minimize worker exposure to lead and workers must be trained in these procedures suitable showers, change rooms or other facilities must be provided to allow workers to remove contamination before leaving the work site. Only articles and clothing that have been properly decontaminated or cleaned can be taken from the work site by workers no worker may eat, drink or smoke in an area of the workplace contaminated with lead the employer must ensure that release of airborne dust containing lead is kept as low as reasonably practicable and prevent unnecessary accumulations of lead (such as the build-up of lead dust) at the work site a lead exposure control plan must be developed if workers may be exposed to lead regular air and surface testing are required to ensure the controls in place are effective medical monitoring (blood lead testing) must be made available to workers exposed to lead. The employer must pay the cost of a blood lead level test a Code of Practice must be developed if there is more than a small amount (10 kg) of lead at the work site personal protective equipment must be properly selected, used and maintained 4.3 General Recommendations PCB and mercury containing products were not detected or observed during the Hazmat Assessment. As a matter of good housekeeping, all light ballasts and electrical transformers (if any) to be removed from the building should be inspected for PCBs content and disposed of appropriately. During demolition removal of existing surfaces may reveal additional concealed products or materials that may be suspected ACMs. Should these untested materials be encountered, a qualified professional must be contacted to review the materials and possibly collect and submit samples for laboratory analysis. Mercury containing thermostats were not observed at the site. All thermostats or potential mercury containing devices to be removed from the building should be inspected for mercury switches and disposed of appropriately. The contents of this report should be discussed with building staff and the general contractor for distribution and awareness Page 8

14 Pre-Renovation Hazardous Materials Survey Report, CFB Edmonton Pool July 14, Hazmat Exposure Control Plan (Asbestos, Lead, etc.) When working in areas designated to be containing hazardous materials such as asbestos, lead, mercury, silica dust, etc. It is a requirement to follow the Alberta Occupational Health and Safety Code (2009), specifically Parts 2 and 4. In addition, key elements of an Exposure Control Plan are presented below; An exposure control plan explains the work procedures and other controls that will be used to reduce workers risk of asbestos exposure. The plan must detail steps to eliminate risk or to control and reduce risk by either: Substituting with safer materials, where feasible or Using engineering controls, administrative controls, or PPE Strict adherence to the ALARA principle as well as exposure limits and appropriate respiratory and skin protection are essential elements of an exposure control plan. Employers must also ensure that qualified persons perform a formal risk assessment to determine which workers may be exposed to asbestos and the extent of any exposure. The risk assessment applies not only to the asbestos itself but also to the methods used to remove or handle it. Who needs an exposure control plan for asbestos? An exposure control plan may be required by many employers, including: Construction and demolition contractors Asbestos abatement contractors Asbestos building surveyors Hazardous materials consultants School district maintenance facilities Commercial building management agencies City and municipal building inspectors Insurance adjusters City, municipal, and private waste facilities Restoration contractors Elements of an exposure control plan Each workplace is unique, so an exposure control plan should be specific to the workplace or operation. Exposure control plans should be developed only by a qualified person Page 9

15 Pre-Renovation Hazardous Materials Survey Report, CFB Edmonton Pool July 14, 2016 Any exposure control plan must include the following: Statement of purpose Responsibilities of employers, supervisors, and workers Risk identification and assessment Risk controls Written safe work procedures Worker education and training Written records Hygiene facilities and decontamination procedures Health monitoring Statement of purpose The purpose of an exposure control plan is to prevent harmful exposure of workers to chemicals or materials (including asbestos) in the workplace. The following is an example of a typical statement of purpose: [Name of employer] is committed to providing a safe and healthy workplace for all of our staff. A combination of measures will be used to achieve this objective, including the most effective control technologies available. Our work procedures will protect not only our workers but also any other workers who enter our workplace. All employees must follow the procedures described in this plan to prevent or reduce exposure to asbestoscontaining materials. Responsibilities of employers, supervisors, and workers Employers Employers have the following responsibilities: Ensure that the resources (such as safe work procedures, worker training, PPE) required to implement and maintain the exposure control plan are readily available where and when they are required. Select, implement, and document the appropriate site-specific control measures. Ensure that supervisors and workers are educated and trained to an acceptable level of competency. Ensure that workers use appropriate PPE (such as disposable coveralls, eye protection, and respirators). Conduct a periodic review of the plan s effectiveness, including a review of the available control technologies to ensure that these are selected and used when practicable. Maintain records of training and inspections. Ensure that a copy of the exposure control plan is available to workers. Supervisors Supervisors have the following responsibilities: Ensure that workers are adequately instructed in the workplace controls. Ensure that workers use appropriate PPE Page 10

16 Pre-Renovation Hazardous Materials Survey Report, CFB Edmonton Pool July 14, 2016 If workers require respirators, ensure that they have been fit-tested and that the results are recorded. Direct work in a manner that eliminates or minimizes the risk to workers. Workers Workers have the following responsibilities: Know the hazards of the workplace. Follow established safe work procedures as directed by the employer or supervisor. Use any required PPE as instructed. Report any unsafe conditions or acts to the supervisor. Know how and when to report exposure incidents. Hazard identification and risk assessment Employers must ensure that potential workplace hazards are identified and that the risks associated with those hazards are assessed. If there may be asbestos-containing materials at the worksite that will be disturbed, the employer will need to do the following before work begins: Conduct an asbestos survey to identify potential hazards. Assess the risks associated with those hazards. Control the risks by eliminating or minimizing them. Exposure limit The occupational exposure limit for airborne asbestos is a 0.1 fibres per millilitre 8-hour time weighted average. As asbestos is a confirmed human carcinogen, the ALARA principle also applies, and workplace exposure must be reduced to levels as low as reasonably achievable. Risk controls Risk controls are measures that are used to eliminate the risk to workers or, if elimination is not possible, minimize the risk. Hierarchy of controls Some types of controls are more effective than others, but it may not always be practicable to use the more effective solution. Whenever possible, however, controls must be implemented in the following order of preference: 1. Substitute less hazardous materials or processes. 2. Use engineering controls, such as barriers, containment, and local exhaust ventilation. 3. Use administrative controls, such as signage and proper use of washing facilities. 4. Use PPE. This is considered the last line of defense and should be used only when other controls are not practicable, or in addition to other controls. The proper use, fit, and disposal of PPE must also be considered Page 11

17 Pre-Renovation Hazardous Materials Survey Report, CFB Edmonton Pool July 14, 2016 Workplace controls should be based on a risk assessment conducted by a qualified person. Written safe work procedures Written safe work procedures describe how to carry out specific tasks safely and efficiently. In general, safe work procedures are written for: Hazardous tasks Complicated tasks, so that important steps don t get missed Frequently performed tasks Less routine tasks, to remind workers of the hazards and how to control the risks Written safe work procedures must specify any required PPE, when it must be used, and where it can be found. Post the procedures where they will be available to workers. These procedures must be submitted along with an NOP prior to the start of an asbestos abatement project. How to develop a written safe work procedure Follow these five steps when developing a written safe work procedure: 1. Determine the overall task for which the safe work procedure is needed. 2. Break down the task into its basic steps. 3. Identify the hazards associated with each step. 4. Identify the actions needed to minimize the risks to workers from these hazards. 5. Prepare a list of the actions that workers must do when performing the task. Hygiene facilities and decontamination procedures Employers must also provide adequate work procedures and washing facilities to help control asbestos exposure, including: Good housekeeping procedures, including end-of-workday procedures Washing facilities Shower facilities, as required (e.g., for high-risk and some moderate-risk work) Clean eating and drinking facilities Worker education and training Employers must ensure that workers are informed about the contents of the exposure control plan, and that they are educated and trained to work safely. Exposure control plans should describe worker education and training, and how they will be carried out. Education and training are particularly important for new workers Page 12

18 Pre-Renovation Hazardous Materials Survey Report, CFB Edmonton Pool July 14, 2016 Written records The exposure control plan must be written down, and records should be kept for each component of the plan. For example, document education and training activities keep track of who was trained, when the training took place, and what it included. Other documentation should include the following: Workplace inspections Health and safety meetings Accident investigations Health monitoring records Health monitoring An exposure control plan for asbestos should include medical monitoring of workers, such as annual lung function testing and periodic (every two to three years) chest X-rays for asbestos abatement workers. Reviewing the plan Review the exposure control plan at least once a year, and update it as necessary. During this process, consult with the joint health and safety committee (or the worker health and safety representative, if applicable). Notification of Project (NOP) As per Section 36 of the Alberta Occupational Health & safety Code, Notification must be given to a Workplace Health and Safety regional office or the province-wide Contact Centre at least 72 hours before beginning the activities that may release asbestos fibres. The Contact Centre telephone number is This notification must include the location of the work site, the start and completion dates and a description of the work to be performed. This is accomplished by completing and submitting the Asbestos Project Notification Form (Form ASB001) developed by Alberta Human Services. The form is also available by contacting the Workplace Health and Safety regional office Contact Centre or printing it from the Alberta Occupational Health and Safety website Page 13
