sions and recommendations.
3. SITE DESCRIPTION
The subject site consists of two, second-floor mechanical rooms located on the east and west
sides of the Georgina Cole Library, located at 1250 Carlsbad Village Drive, in the city of Carls-
bad, county of San Diego, California. The following table describes the areas assessed for this
survey.

NIA = Not applicable ACP = acoustic ceiling panel
BURM =built-up roofing membrane ACT = acoustic ceflmg tile
s = stucco
VFT = vinyl floor tile VSF = vinyl sheet flooring W = wood
4. PHYSICAL LIMITATIONS
The survey was limited to the two mechanical rooms; an assessment of the remaining portions of
the structure was not performed. Physical limitations, such as locked rooms and fenced areas,
were not encountered during survey activities. However, since non-destructive sampling tech-
niques were used, there is a possibility that additional ACMs, LBPs or moisture/microbial
irnpActed areas may be encountered in inaccessible areas (e.g. interstitial wall and ceiling spaces)

..
during renovation activities. Suspect materials encountered during renovation activities that have
not been assessed either may be assumed to be hazardous and handled accordingly, or may be
sampled and analyzed to assess whether they are hazardous.
5. SAMPLE COLLECTION
On March 5,2004, the two mechanical rooms at the Georgina Cole Library were assessed for the
presence of asbestos, lead-based paint, and moisturdmicrobial impacted areas. The surveys fol-
lowed EPA guidelines, or industry standards, as appropriate, Within the limitations of the scope
of this assessment. Survey activities are described below.
!
5.1. Asbestos Survey
A preliminary visual assessment and bulk-sampling survey of suspect ACMs was pdormed.
Representative samples of suspect ACMs were collected after identification of homogeneous
!
i
sampling areas (areas in which the materials are uniform in color, texture, construction or appli-
cation date, and general appearance). Each homogeneous area was observed for material type,
location, condition, and friability. A total of 33 samples of materials suspected of being asbes-
tos-containing were collected during the survey, using EPA-recommended sampling
procedures. The Ninyo & Moore asbestos bulk sampling protocol is presented in Appendix A.
Building materials that were sampled and analyzed for the presence of asbestos are presented
in the attached Table 1, and the locations fiom which bulk asbestos samples were collected are
shown on Figure 1.
5.2. Paint Testing
To test surfaces for future contractor worker safety and waste characterization, a portable
NITON XL 309 XRF spectrum analyzer was utilized. The testing was conducted in gen-
eral accordance with accepted environmental science and engineering practices for
demolition projects. The testing methodology utilized is presented in Appendix B. A total
of 36 XRF readings were analyzed. Surfaces that were tested for the presence of lead are

Project No. 105204001
0 presented in the attached Table 2. A site map indicating the XRF testing orientation (A, B,
C, and D wall directions) utilized during the testing is provided on Figure 2.
5.3. Preliminary Microbial Assessment
Ninyo & Moore performed a reconnaissance of the subject areas, which included a visual
assessment of accessible areas and collection of non-destructive moisture readings utilizing
a Protimeter moisture meter to test potential areas of excessive moisture in the subject build-
ings. Non-viable surface and air sampling was not conducted as part of the survey activities.
Readings were obtained fiom areas where visible water staining was observed, including in-
terior wall, ceiling, and flooring materials. Surfaces were ranked as follows:

Water staining with greater than 5 square feet but less than 10 square feet of visible mi-
crobial growth
Water staining with greater than 10 square feet of visible microbial growth
Descriptions of the materials assessed, the moisture readings collected, the size of the af-
fected areas, and the potential source(s) of moisture are presented in Table 3.
6. LABORATORY ANALYSES AND RESULTS
The following sections describe the laboratory analyses performed and results obtained for sam-
ples collected during the asbestos survey, and the XEV testing results for lead.
6.1. Asbestos Analysis
After collection, the ACM samples were transferred to EMC Laboratories (EMC) for analy-
sis. EMC is a laboratory accredited in the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation
Program o\NLAp) for bulk asbestos fiber analysis. Because of material layering, of the 33
samples collected, 71 separate analyses were performed. The samples were analyzed for the
105204001 R 4
Georgina Cole Library March 19,2004
Project No- 105204001
presence and quantification of asbestos fibers, using polarized light microscopy with disper-
sion staining (PLM), in general accordance with the United Stated Environmental Protection
Agency (USEPA) Method 6OOM4-82-020. The lower limit of reliable detection for asbestos
using the PLM method is approximately one percent (1%) by volume. Materials in which no
asbestos was detected are defined in the laboratory report as “no” asbestos detected in the
Asbestos Detected column. Materials containing asbestos in amounts less than 1% but
greater than 0.1% are defined as containing “trace” amounts. Analytical results are summa-
rized in the attached Table 1. Copies of the laboratory analytical report and chain-of-custody
record are presented in Appendix C.
6.2. XRF Analysis
Currently, the State of California and the USEPA stipulate what concentrations of lead in
nonvolatile components of surface coatings or materials determine whether a material is
I considered to be a lead-based paint. The California Department of Health Services (DHS)
stipulates that materials containing an amount equal to or in excess of one milligram per
square centimeter (1.0 mg/cm2), or more than one-half of one percent (0.5%) by weight,
constitute a lead-based paint. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD) guideline for designating a painted surface as lead-containing is consistent with the
DHS. Paint that is chipping or peeling, or that may be removed from surfaces, and has a lead
content equal to or greater than 1,000 milligrams per kilogram (mag), requires handling as
a California Title 22 hazardous waste. In addition, under California Code of Regulations Ti-
tle8, Section 1532.1, specific worker protection measures are required in construction
projects where any lead is present. LBP testing results are summarized in the attached Ta-
ble2, and a copy of DHS form 8552 “Lead Hazard Evaluation Report” is included in
Appendix D.
6.3. Preliminary Microbial Assessment
In accordance with the scope of work, samples of potential microbial growth were not col-
lected as part of this assessment.

Project No. 105204001
7. F'INDINGS AND OPINIONS
The fmdings of these surveys are based on our visual observations, and analysis of suspect build-
ing materials. The findings are presented below.
7.1. Asbestos
Based on the analytical results of bulk samples collected during Ninyo & Moore's survey,
ACMs are located within the subject site. Materials that were sampled and tested for asbes-
tos content can be found in the attached Table 1, including their location and analytical
results.
The presence of ACMs in a building does not necessarily mean that the health of the occu-
pants is endangered. If these materials are in good condition and have not been disturbed,
exposures are expected to be negligible. However, when ACM deteriorates, is in damaged
condition, or is disturbed, such as during renovation operations, asbestos fibers may be re-
leased, creating a potential health hazard for building occupants, maintenance personnel, and
contractors. I
7.2. Lead-Based Paint
Based on the results of XRF assays collected during the survey, painted surfaces containing
concentrations of lead greater than 1.0 mgkm,, or 5,000 mg/kg, were identified at the sub-
ject site. Surfaces tested for lead content can be found in the attached Table 2.
1
The presence of LBPs in a building does not necessarily mean that the health of the occu-
pants is endangered. If painted surfaces are in good condition, and are not peeling or
otherwise deteriorated, exposures are expected to be negligible. However, when LBP dete-
riorates, is in damaged condition, or is disturbed, such as during renovation operations, lead-
containing dust may be released, creating a potential health hazard for building occupants,
maintenance personnel, and contractors.

7.3. Preliminary Microbial Assessment
Our visual assessment and moisture readings indicate that moisture or potential microbial
growth has not impacted the subject areas of the building. The results of the assessment are
presented in the attached Table 3.
8. RECOMMENDATIONS
Since ACMs and LBPs have been identified at the subject site, the following recommendations
and precautions are provided:
8.1. Asbestos
The identified ACMs should not be disturbed. Prior to renovation work that would disturb
identified ACMs, a licensed asbestos abatement removal contractor should remove the
ACMs. It is the contractor’s responsibility to confirm ACM quantities present prior to initiat-
ing renovation activities at the mechanical rooms of the subject building.
Because non-destructive sampling techniques were used, there is a possibility that additional
suspect ACMs may be found during building renovations. Ninyo & Moore recommends that
should additional suspect materials, not sampled or assessed in this report, be uncovered
during renovation: (a) samples of suspect materials should be collected for laboratory analy-
sis, and all activities that may impact the materials should cease until laboratory analytical
results are reviewed; or (b) the materials should be assumed to be hazardous and handled as
Such.
8.2. Lead-Based Paint
LBPs or surfaces identified to contain lead should be handled by an appropriately licensed
contractor in. accordance with all federal, state, and local regulations. It is the contractor’s
responsibility to confirm LBP quantities present.
Because non-destructive sampling techniques were used, there is a possibility that additional
suspect LBPs may be found during building renovations. Ninyo & Moore recommends that
1052O4001 R 7
Georgina Cole Library March 19,2004
Project No. 105204001
should additional suspect materials, not sampled or assessed in this report, be uncovered
during renovation: (a) samples of suspect materials should be collected for laboratory analy-
sis, and all activities that may impact the materials should cease until laboratory analytical
results are reviewed; or (b) the materials should be assumed to be hazardous and handled as
such.
8.3. Preliminary Microbial Assessment
Based on our visual reconnaissance, moisture and potential microbial growth has not im-
pacted the subject areas of the building. Should moisture or microbial growth impacted areas
be encountered the sources of the moisture should be verified by the appropriate qualified
personnel (e.g., plumber, roofer, landscaper etc.) and mitigated as necessary. Moisture- and
mold-impacted building materials should be remediated by a licensed mold remediation con-
tractor in accordance with EPA Document 402-K-01-001 titled “Mold Remediation in
Schools and Commercial Buildings,” dated March 2001, and other generally accepted guide-
lines for management of hngi in school buildings. These materials may also be asbestos-
containing. For this reason, it is recommended that a contractor that is knowledgeable and
.
trained in performing both asbestos and mold abatement perform the remediation services. If
additional microbial-impacted areas are found during renovation activities, these materials
should be managed in accordance with the above-referenced guidelines.
In addition, a consultant should be retained to provide remediation oversight activities, in-
cluding preparing a remediation specification, performing contractor monitoring and air
sampling, and performing post-remediation confirmation services.
9. LIMITATIONS
Ninyo & Moore’s opinions and recommendations regarding environmental conditions, as pre-
sented in this report, are based on limited sampling and chemical analysis. Further assessment of
potential adverse environmental impacts may be accomplished by conducting a more compre-
hensive assessment. The samples collected and used for testing, and the observations made, are
believed to be representative of the areas evaluated. However, if additional suspect building ma-
i05204OO l R Q
Georgina Cole Library March 19,2004
Project No. 105204001
terials are encountered during renovation activities, these materials should be sampled by quali-
fied personnel, and analyzed for content prior to further disturbance. In addition, please note that
quantities of impacted building materials are approximate. It is the contractor’s responsibility to
confinn quantities present.
The environmental services described in this report have been conducted in general accordance
with current regulatory guidelines and the standard of care exercised by environmental consult-
ants performing similar work in the project area. No warranty, expressed or implied, is made
regarding the professional opinions presented in this report. Variations in site conditions may ex-
ist and conditions not observed or described in this report may be encountered during subsequent
activities. Please also note that this study did not include an evaluation of geotechnical condi-
tions or potential geologic hazards.
This document is intended to be used only in its entirety. No portion of the document, by itself, is
designed to completely represent any aspect of the project described herein. Ninyo & Moore
should be contacted if the reader requires any additional information, or has questions regarding
content, interpretations presented, or completeness of this document.
0
The environmental interpretations and opinions contained in this report are based on the results
of laboratory tests and analyses intended to detect the presence and concentration of specific
chemical or physical constituents in samples collected fiom the subject site. The testing and
analyses have been conducted by an independent laboratory that is certified by the State of Cali-
fornia to conduct such tests. Ninyo & Moore has no involvement in, or control over, such testing
and analysis. Ninyo & Moore, therefore, disclaims responsibility for any inaccuracy in such
laboratory results.
Our findings, opinions, and recommendations are based on an analysis of the observed site con-
ditions. It should be understood that the conditions of a site can change with time as a result of
natural processes or the activities of man at the subject site or nearby sites. In addition, changes
to the applicable laws, regulations, codes, and standards of practice may occur due to govern-
ment action or the broadening of knowledge. The findings of this report may, therefore, be
invalidated over time, in part or in whole, by changes over which Ninyo & Moore has no control. @

ASBESTOS BULK SAMPLING PROTOCOL
105204001 R
SUSPECT ASBESTOS-CONTAINING MATERIALS
SAMPLING PROTOCOL
Personal Protection Equipment
Inhalation of asbestos fibers during asbestos survey may pose a serious health hazard, the
use of personal protection equipment (PPE) by building inspectors is crucial during the sam-
pling process. As a minimum level of protection, Inspectors should wear a respirator with
either a 111 or half-face mask type respirator and high efficiency disposable filter cartridges.
Full face masks will also prevent eye imtation from dust, fibers, and debris released during
the sampling operation. Disposable clothing should be worn during sampling if necessary.
Inspectors should have plastic bags to handle the disposal of drop cloths, protective clothing,
wet cloths, and debris.
Sampline Equipment
Inspectors will need various tools and aids to accomplish their sampling tasks:
A ladder and flashlight are needed to access areas and aid visibility.
Airtight, sampling containers (e.g., resealable plastic bags).
Aplastic spray mister bottle with water to spray the area to be sampled.
Plastic drop cloths to spread beneath the area to be sampled.
A knife, linoleum cutter, screwdriver, or other tool appropriate for collecting samples.
A caulking gun and compound for filling holes once a sample has been extracted.
Spray acrylic or adhesive to encapsulate sample extractions.
Duct tape for repairing thermal system insulation jackets.
Cloths and cleaner for decontaminating tools.
A vacuum cleaner equipped with high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters, if avail-
able.
Indelible ink pen for labeling sample containers.
Camera for photographic documentation.
ACM Sampling attachment
The types of suspect asbestoscontaining materials are divided into three categories. They
are: surfacing materials, thermal system insulation (TSI), and miscellaneous materials. The
procedures for smpling these three types are as follows:
Surfacing Materials
1. Spread the plastic drop cloth and set up other equipment, (e.g., ladder).
2. Put on protective equipment (respirator at all times when sampling fiiable material and
protective clothing if needed).
3. Label container with its sample identification number and fill out location and type of
material sampled on a sampling data form.
4. Mark the location and sample identification number of the sample container and on the
sample location map
5. Moisten area where sample is to be collected (spray the immediate area with water).
6. Collect sample using a clean knife or appropriate to cut out or scrape off a small piece of
the material. Be sure to penetrate all layers of material. Be careful not to disturb adjacent
material.
7. Place sample in a container and tightly seal it.
8. Wipe the exterior of the container with a wet wipe to remove any material which may
have adhered to it during sampling.
9. Clean your tools with wet wipes and wet mop or vacuum area with a HEPA vacuum to
clean all debris.
10. Fill hole with caulking compound or appropriate filler (to minimize subsequent fiber re-
lease) or for appearance.
11. Repeat the above steps at each sample location. Place sample containers in plastic bags.
12. Discard protective clothing, rags, and drop cloth in a plastic bag.
Thermal System Insulation
Sampling TSI follows the same procedural sequence as laid out above. Obtain samples from
exposed or damaged areas if possible. However, random sampling will require sampling of
some intact material. Sampling holes can be patched with plastic spackling, caulk, or fibrous
glass.
ACM SamplingallschmmI
Miscellaneous Materials
Samples of miscellaneous materials follows the same procedural sequence as laid out above
making sure that a cross section of the materials had been obtained.
Samples to Laboratory
The samples are transferred using standard chain-of-custody procedures to a laboratory ac-
credited in the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP), for bulk
asbestos fiber analysis. The samples are analyzed using polarized light microscopy with dis-
persion staining (PLWds) for the presence and quantification of asbestos fibers, in general
accordance with either EPA Method 600/M4-82-020 or EPA Method 600/R-93/116. The
lower Iimit of reliable detection for asbestos using the PLM/ds method is approximately 1%
by volume. California regulations now define ACMs as those materials having an asbestos
content of greater than one tenth of 1 % (0.1 %). Materials in which no asbestos was detected
are defined in the laboratory report as "none detected." Materials containing asbestos, in
amounts less than 1 % and greater than 0.1 %, are defined as containing "trace" amounts.

XRF TESTING METHODOLOGY
~. . . - . .. . .. . . .. . . .
105204001 R
XRFTESTING METHODOLOGY
To assess the painted surfaces for future contractor worker safety, x-ray fluorescence (XRF)
testing technologies were utilized. The testing was conducted in general accordance with the
following regulations: 1) Title 17, California Code of Remlations. Division 1. Chapter 8,
Accreditation Certification, and Work Practice in Lead Related Construction, Section 36000.
Mer a visual assessment, accessible painted surfaces were screened for lead content with a
NITON 309 XRF spectrum analyzer. XRF readings were taken using the standard paint
mode. Standard paint mode measurements have no predetennined testing length, and auto-
matically adjust to account for various types of substrates and material’s densities.
In the standard paint mode, the NITON 309 XRF tests until a K-shell result is indicated as
either positive or negative, compared to the threshold level based on the current precision of
the test. Correction for paint matrix and substrate effects is performed automatically.
XRF readings were made on testing combinations in all room eqyivalents in an effort to test
typical materials which are representative of the room equivalent. Testing combinations
were tested non-destructively by holding the XRF against the surf-ace being tested. At each
XRF sample location the shutter is opened, and one reading was made using the standard
paint testing mode. Results of each test were read from the digital display of the instrument
. console and recorded on the XRF Data Sheet attached as Table 2.
To ensure that the XRF equipment was working properly, various quality control tests were
performed before, during, and after the on-site work. At the beginning of the work day, three
start up validation measurements were made in the standard paint calibration mode, using
the calibration check standard associated with the particular XRF that was used. This painted
standard contains a known quantity of lead and allows the XRF operator to determine
whether the instrument is functioning within acceptable tolerance ranges for accuracy and
precision, as determined by the manufacturer.
In addition to the three starts up tests, calibration readings were taken on the red 1.06
mg/cm2 and/or yellow 1.57 mg/cm2 Standard Reference Material (SRM) paint film, devel-
oped by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Results of each reading a
XRT Testing atixhmnt
were recorded on the XRF Data Sheet. This calibration check was also performed after four
hours and at the end of the day. The quality control tests taken during testing at the subject
property were within the acceptable performance range prescribed by the XRF equipment
manufacturer. Documentation of the quality control calibration check is included in the XRF
Data Sheet, Table 2.
