1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
ABI Hazmat Corp. (ABI) was retained by Ministry of Transportation & Infrastructure, to
perform a Pre-Demolition Hazardous and Regulated Materials Survey. The hazardous
materials survey was conducted for the Grube Pit Trailer #380, located at in Chase, BC.
The survey was conducted on September 30,2019 by Ms. Sue Servia Environmental
Technologist EPT. Ms. Servia has completed the AHERA Certification Course required
by WorkSafeBC to conduct Hazmat Surveys.
The objective of the assessment was to identify the types, condition and extent of
hazardous materials that would be impacted during the demolition of the building. The
building is a wood frame approximately 624sq. ft. trailer, with a sheet metal roof and
siding. Trailer main construction Steel transport beams.
It was noted during the inspection of the north facing exterior wall of the trailer, that a
significant impact had occurred in the mid section of the north facing wall. ABI would
recommend that should an abatement take place within the trailer, that the structure be
surveyed by a structural engineer to insure stability of the trailer prior to abatement
commencement. (See Site Photos in Appendix C)
The survey was conducted using both visual and physical assessment techniques.
Samples of materials suspected of containing asbestos and collected include vinyl sheet
floor and drywall joint compounds. In total, five (5) suspect asbestos building material
samples were collected from the building to be analyzed for asbestos content. Three
(3) lead paint samples were collected from the interior of the building. Paint containing
lead greater than the laboratory limit of detection (>20mg/kg or ppm) is considered Lead
Based Paint according to the new WorkSafeBC May 2017 Publication.
Suspect asbestos containing samples were collected and submitted to Coast BC
Hazmat Inspections Inc. to be analyzed in accordance with the WorkSafeBC
Occupational Health & Safety Regulations and/or the National Institute of Occupational
Health and Safety (NIOSH) analytical methods. Suspect asbestos bulk sample results
are in Appendix A of this report. Suspect Lead in Paint/Coatings results are in Appendix
B of this report.

The building was also inspected for possible PCB (polychlorinated biphenyls) containing
fluorescent light ballasts, mercury containing thermostat switches, RCS (respirable
crystalline silica) and other hazardous materials during the inspection.
In summary, the findings from the assessment conclude that asbestos containing
materials are present in the construction materials of the trailer building. These
materials are present in quantities of significance and are of concern to any
contractor involved in the renovations of the building.
Asbestos containing Yellow Vinyl Sheet Flooring was discovered, hidden, under
newer flooring, through-out the washroom and office areas of the building.
All lead paint samples were found to have lead levels ranging from 189 ppm to
520 ppm, above the laboratory LOD (Limit of Detection) of 20 mg/kg or ppm (parts
per million).
Mercury vapour may exist within the fluorescent lighting bulbs of the lighting
fixtures, located in the in the office debris pile and office ceiling area of the
building.
Suspect – PCB ballasts were observed in the debris pile and office ceiling fixtures
building.
Ozone-Depleting Substances (ODS) are suspect due to a small HVAC and boiler
system observed in the Washroom area of the trailer.

Regulation. Additionally, and to ensure adequate coordination of the overall plan,
the employer must ensure that it is administered by a properly trained person.
Section 6.4 – ACM Inventory
For this section of the BC OH&S Regulation, the employer must ensure that a qualified
person collects representative samples of the materials in the workplace that the
qualified person suspects contain asbestos, and, through appropriate analysis and
professional judgment, determines whether each of the samples is an ACM.
This section of the BC OH&S Regulation also states that if a qualified person suspects
that an inaccessible material contains asbestos, the material must be treated as
asbestos-containing material unless a qualified person determines that it is not ACM.
WorkSafeBC Manual - Safe Handling of Asbestos, A Manual of Standard Practices
This manual outlines basic information on asbestos and asbestos products, health
hazards requirements for worker protection, safe work procedures and principles that
should be followed in selecting the most suitable technique for the safe abatement
of ACM. This document provides a guide to current practices that are to be followed
in the Province of British Columbia.
3.1.5 Lead & Lead-Based Coatings
(LBCs) Sections 6.59 to 6.69 – Lead
These sections of the BC OH&S Regulation describe specific requirements to:
• Develop and implement an exposure control plan if workers are or may be
exposed to lead;
• Conduct air monitoring if workers are at risk of overexposure to airborne
lead in a construction project;
• Post warning signs at the boundary of work areas where hazardous lead
exposures could occur;
• If lead might contaminate exposed skin or work clothing, meet the
requirements for personal hygiene;

areas;
• Instruct and train workers who are at risk of exposure to lead;
• Develop and implement a health protection program if workers are exposed to
potentially hazardous levels of lead; and,
• Maintain records of risk assessments, worker exposures, and worker training.
WorkSafeBC Manual – Lead-Containing Paints and Coatings – Preventing Exposure
in the Construction Industry
This manual provides a guide to current practices that are to be followed in the Province
of British Columbia, providing basic information on lead and lead products, health
hazards and requirements for worker protection, safe work procedures and principles
that should be followed in selecting the most suitable technique for the safe abatement
of lead.
3.1.6 Ozone-Depleting Substances (ODS)
Provincial regulatory framework providing the requirements for the safe management,
storage and disposal of ozone-depleting substances are provided in British Columbia
Regulation (BC Reg.) 387/99, as amended from time to time – Ozone-Depleting
Substances Regulation respecting the appropriate management of ozone-depleting
substances within the province of British Columbia.
3.1.7 Respirable Crystalline Silica (RCS)
Sections 6.110–6.115 of the Occupational Health Safety (OHS) Regulation and related
OHS Guidelines have been updated to clarify employer requirements to protect workers
from the harmful effects of silica dust. Changes to the Regulation expand the sections
on rock dust to include specific regulations for protecting workers from the risks of
exposure to respirable crystalline silica (RCS) dust.
Silica is the basic component in sand and rock. It's in construction materials such as:
• Concrete, concrete block, cement, and mortar
• Masonry, tiles, brick, and refractory brick
• Granite, sand, fill dirt, and top soil
Grube Pit Trailer #380 September 30, 2019
Chase Gravel Pit PRE-DEMOLITION
Chase, BC HAZARDOUS MATERIALS SURVEY
ABI Hazmat Corp. Page 11 AHERA# 1029230
• Asphalt-containing rock or stone
• Abrasive used for blasting
Silica is the most common hazard on a work site. Any activity that creates dust can
expose workers to airborne silica. The most common ways to create silica dust are as
follows:
• Chipping, sawing, grinding, hammering, or drilling
• Crushing, loading, hauling, or dumping
• Building demolition
• Power cutting or dressing stone
• Facade renovation, including tuck-point work
• Abrasive or hydro blasting
• Dry sweeping or pressurized air blowing
• Tunneling, excavating, or earth moving
Inhaling silica dust can cause silicosis, a serious and irreversible lung disease. It can
be lethal. Silica damages the lung and causes scar tissue to form. This causes the lung
tissue to become thicker. Silica exposure can also cause lung cancer.
If a worker is or may be exposed to potentially harmful levels of respirable crystalline
silica, the employer must develop and implement an exposure control plan meeting the
requirements of section 6.110-6.115 of the BC OH&S Regulation. Additionally, and to
ensure adequate coordination of the plan, the employer must ensure that it is
administered by a properly trained person.
3.2 Applicable Federal Legislation
3.2.1 Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs)
The PCB Regulations SOR/2008-273 came into force on September 5, 2008. The
purpose of the regulations is to improve the protection of Canada’s environment
and the health of Canadians by minimizing the risks posed by the use, storage and
release of PCBs and by accelerating the elimination of these substances. The
Regulations also set out end-of-use and end-of-storage dates for PCBs. These dates
are listed in Environment Canada’s fact sheet, "PCB Regulations: An Overview."

4.1 ASBESTOS
Vinyl Sheet Flooring (VFT) Materials:
Asbestos containing yellow Vinyl Sheet Flooring materials were observed as
hidden flooring in the washroom and back office areas only. The sheet flooring
materials were sampled and found to contain 30% Chrysotile asbestos in the
paper backing. These VSF materials were observed to be in good to fair condition.
Prior to any demolition activities taking place which could disturb the asbestos
containing vinyl sheet flooring materials, the materials must first be removed and
disposed of in accordance with applicable regulations. Due to the high friability and
high asbestos content, the removal of these materials will pose a high risk of
asbestos exposure to the workers involved. Therefore, as a minimum, HIGH RISK

asbestos safe work procedure will be required for the removal of the asbestos
containing vinyl sheet flooring materials.
4.2 POLYCHLORINATED BIPHENYLS (PCBS)
Fluorescent light fixtures were observed within the debris pile/ Office area of the
building. The ballast within the lighting fixture inspected were observed to be Suspect
PCB containing.
If a light fixture with a PCB containing ballast is discovered, it must be removed from
the fixture and disposed of in accordance with applicable regulations. If the lighting
ballast does not contain PCBs, it will be stated on the ballast label as “no PCBs” and
all ballasts not labelled as non-PCB containing must be treated as PCB containing.
Environment Canada has published a report entitled, “Identification of Lamp Ballasts
Containing PCBs”, revised in August 1991. This report can be referenced to
