1.0 INTRODUCTION DST Consulting Engineers Inc. (DST) was retained by G# Global Holdings Limited Partnerships (G3) to conduct a pre-demolition, hazardous building material assessment of the structures / buildings located at 95 Brooksbank Avenue, North Vancouver, British Columbia (herein referred to as the Subject Facility). 2.0 SCOPE OF WORK The survey was completed to identify the presence of select hazardous building materials limited to include asbestos-containing materials (ACMs), lead-based coatings (LBCs), ozone-depleting substances (ODSs), elemental mercury and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in electrical equipment in preparation for the proposed demolition activities.

3.0 REGULATIONS AND GUIDELINES 3.1 Provincial Regulations In British Columbia, the management of hazardous building materials in the work place is regulated by WorkSafeBC under the Workers’ Compensation Act (effective April 15, 1998), as amended by the Workers’ Compensation (Occupational Health and Safety) Amendment Act (effective October 1, 1999). Specific requirements of the Occupational Health and Safety Amendment Act are prescribed in the British Columbia Occupational Health and Safety (BC OH&S) Regulation.

Final Pre-Demolition Hazardous Building Material Survey September 2, 2015 Western Stevedoring – 95 Brooksbank Avenue, North Vancouver, BC DST File No.: BE-VC-021201


3.1.2 Hazardous Materials & Demolition/Renovations Section 20.112 of the BC OH&S Regulation details the requirements that employers and owners are responsible for before beginning work on the demolition, renovation or salvage of machinery, equipment, buildings, or structures. The employer or owner must:

Inspect the site to identify any asbestos, lead and/or other potentially hazardous materials that may be handled, disturbed, or removed;

Have the inspection results available at the worksite; and, Ensure that the hazardous materials are safely contained or removed.

3.1.3 Hazardous Wastes In British Columbia, environmental matters pertaining to waste generally fall under the jurisdiction of the British Columbia Ministry of Environment (MoE), pursuant to the Environmental Management Act. The key waste regulation under the Environmental Management Act relating to hazardous building materials is the Hazardous Waste Regulation (HWR), as amended from time to time. The HWR provides the requirements for the proper handling, storage, transportation, treatment, recycling and disposal of hazardous wastes in the province. The regulation also outlines the materials and criteria to be used to characterize waste as hazardous. 3.1.4 Asbestos-Containing Materials (ACMs) ACMs are regulated under Part 6 (sections 6.1 to 6.32) of the BC OH&S Regulation. General requirements prescribed in these sections are summarized below: Section 6.1 – Definitions According to this section of the OH&S Regulation, an ACM is defined as any manufactured article or other material, other than vermiculite insulation, that would be determined to contain at least 0.5% asbestos through analytical testing. Materials other than vermiculite must be tested in accordance with one of the following methods:

“Asbestos, Chrysotile by XRD, Method 9000” (Issue 2, dated August 15, 1994) in the NIOSH Manual of Analytical Methods, published by the United States National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, Centre for Disease Control;

“Asbestos (bulk) by PLM, Method 9002” (Issue 2, dated August 15, 1994) in the NIOSH Manual of Analytical Methods, published by the United States National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, Centre for Disease Control; or,



“Test Method for the Determination of Asbestos in Bulk Building Materials” (EPA/600/R-93/116, dated July 1993) published by the United States Environmental Protection Agency.

Section 6.3 – Exposure Control Plan According to this section of the BC OH&S Regulation, if a worker is or may be exposed to potentially harmful levels of asbestos, the employer must develop and implement an exposure control plan meeting the requirements of section 5.54 of the BC OH&S 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 According to 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 judgement, 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 for workplace exposure to lead. Employers are responsible for the following:



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;

Keep work area surfaces free of lead dust as much as possible; When removing lead dust, use a method that avoids spreading it into other work 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. 3.2 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."



Additionally, Environment Canada has published a report entitled, “Identification of Lamp Ballasts Containing PCBs”, revised in August 1991. This report can be referenced to determine the PCB-content in fluorescent lamp ballast. 3.2.2 Transportation of Dangerous Goods The transportation of hazardous wastes is governed under the Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG) Act and Regulations which outline the requirements for storage, handling, and transportation of hazardous waste, amongst other products. 4.0 METHODOLOGY The survey was completed by David Kernel, Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) certified building inspector, Certified Lead Inspector, Certified Lead Risk Assessor of DST, on August 26, 2015 to August 28, 2015. Suspect hazardous building materials were visually identified, based on the surveyor's knowledge of the historic composition of building products. Visual identification of materials suspected to contain hazardous materials were supported by the analysis of representative samples. Suspect ACM samples were analyzed for asbestos content at CARDNO ATC following the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Method 9002. Suspect LBCs samples were tested for lead content using a Niton X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) spectroscopy detector. The Niton XRF is designed to detect and quantify the amount of lead present in painted surfaces. Measurements were made following Niton XRF standard operating procedures for lead in surface coating measurements. Suspected ozone-depleting substances (ODSs), elemental mercury, and sources of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were visually identified based on appearance, age, and knowledge of historic applications/locations. Certificates of analysis are presented in Appendix I.

Based on the results of DST’s assessment and the analytical results, sixty eight (68) of the one-hundred and seven (107) suspected LBCs were found to contain potentially hazardous levels of lead. 5.4 Ozone Depleting Substances (ODSs) Equipment suspected to contain ozone-depleting substances was observed on-site based on visible manufacturer labels, where accessible. Observed equipment containing ODSs include:

Window mounted air conditioning units located throughout the Subject Facility; Domestic refrigerator located throughout the Subject Facility; and, Air Handling Units (AHUs) located on the roof tops throughout the Subject Facility.

5.5 Elemental Mercury Fluorescent light fixtures identified throughout the buildings of the Subject Facility are presumed to contain mercury vapor. No thermostats containing mercury ampoules were identified within the Subject Facility.



5.6 Polychlorinated Biphenyl’s (PCBs) Fluorescent light ballasts identified throughout the Subject Facility were suspect to contain PCBs. Transformers identified throughout the Subject Faculty are suspect to contain PCBs.

6.0 CONCLUSIONS Based on the site investigation, sampling and analysis, the following hazardous building materials were identified in the Subject Building:

ACMs; LBCs; ODS; Elemental Mercury; and, PCBs.

DST’s recommendations for each material, which are based upon both regulatory compliance and best practice guidelines, are included in the following sections.

**CAUTIONARY NOTE** The roofing systems on all buildings were not assessed at the time of the survey and will require intrusive (destructive) testing prior to demolition activities. DST did complete intrusive (destructive testing) within cinder block wall cavities at representative locations throughout the Subject Facility to identify and sample suspected hazardous building materials (including vermiculite insulation) in concealed wall cavities. Although such testing did not identify any suspected hazardous building materials, it is possible that additional suspected hazardous building materials may be concealed within the wall cavities throughout the Subject Facility. 7.0 RECOMMENDATIONS 7.1 Asbestos-Containing Materials Control the disturbance of the identified ACMs through any renovations using work procedures that meet the requirements of WorkSafeBC, specifically but not limited to include those requirements prescribed through Parts 5.48-5.59 – Controlling Exposure, and Parts 6.1 – 6.32 – Asbestos.



DST recommends reference to WorkSafeBC publication “Safe Handling of Asbestos, A Manual of Standard Practices” (WorkSafeBC Guideline). This document provides a guide to current practices that are to be followed in the Province of British Columbia, providing basic information on asbestos and asbestos 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 ACMs. Based on the recommendations provided in the WorkSafeBC Guideline, the abatement of asbestos-containing vermiculite block wall insulation should be completed following High Risk asbestos abatement protocols. In addition, a structural engineer should be retained to review and approve the methodology for selective demolition (i.e. disturbance to the cinder block wall to remove vermiculite insulation). Asbestos-containing wastes should be managed in accordance with the British Columbia Ministry of Environment and should be transported in accordance with the requirements of the Federal Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act. NOTE: As the Subject Facility was occupied and operational at the time of our assessment, DST recommends that additional destructive bulk sampling be conducted to the roof systems prior to any demolition activities to identify potential concealed hazardous building materials. 7.2 Lead-Based Coatings (LBCs) DST recommends that LBCs that may be impacted during restoration activities be removed in accordance with the requirements of WorkSafeBC. The disturbance of LBCs should be controlled through use of safe work procedures. Work procedures must be developed in accordance with the requirements of WorkSafeBC, specifically but not limited to include those requirements prescribed through Parts 5.48-5.59 – Controlling Exposure, and Parts 6.59-6.69 – Lead. Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) testing should be performed on identified lead-based paint, to facilitate the proper disposal of lead-containing wastes. DST recommends reference to WorkSafeBC publication “Lead – Preventing Exposure at Work”. This document 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.



7.3 Ozone-Depleting Substances (ODS) When taken out of service, ODS-containing equipment should be managed in accordance with the requirements prescribed in British Columbia’s Ozone-Depleting Substances and Other Halocarbons Regulation, including amendments up to B.C.
