Fire Station 2 Asbestos Abatement Plan
{city of
Carlsbad
Memo ID# 2019124
This memorandum provides information about asbestos abatement at Fire Station 2.
Background
On Oct. 18, a Council Memorandum (Attachment A) was issued regarding the presence of mold
· at Fire Station 2. As part of the mold remediation efforts, staff removed a portion ofthe carpet
and had the adhesive material tested. Test results (Attachment B) confirmed the presence of
asbestos. Fire station staff will remain temporarily relocated until asbestos abatement efforts
are complete.
Discussion
Prior to 1980, asbestos was commonly used in manufacturing a variety of building materials,
including floor adhesives. As a result, asbestos is present in many older buildings. It is generally
not a concern unless disturbed, such as during construction.
Samples taken on Oct. 18 confirmed the presence of asbestos on the adhesive material beneath
a section of carpet in the station. An asbestos remediation company has been retained to
remove the carpet and adhesive according to state health and safety code standards, and abate
the asbestos-containing materials. This work is expected to take between seven and 10 days.
Upon completion of the asbestos abatement, a flooring contractor will install new vinyl flooring
throughout the facility.
Fire personnel have already been temporarily relocated and will continue to use facilities at Fire
Station 5 as needed. Fire administration staff are working closely with Carlsbad Firefighters'
Association leadership to address any health concerns and minimize operational impacts
associated with the temporary relocation of staff.
Next Steps ·.
In accordance with California Health and Safety Code Division 20, Chapter 10.4 [25915.2(a)] an
employee notice (Attachment C) will be distributed on Oct. 25 to share the test results and

abatement plan. The notice was developed by city staff from the Fire Department, Facilities,
Human Resources and Risk Management.
Alliance Environmental, a firm specializing in asbestos abatement, will begin work on Oct. 29, ·
2019. Upon conclusion of the asbestos removal and abatement, sampling will again be
conducted to ensure the absence of mold and asbestos. The anticipated completion date for
both the asbestos abatement and mold remediation efforts is Nov. 8,. 2019. Affected personnel
will continue to receive timely updates on the progress of the'se efforts, and will have resources
av~ilable to them for addressing their health or safety concerns,

Attachment C
As part of the recent mold remediation at Fire Station 2, ,Facilities staff removed a portion of
the carpet and had the adhesive material tested. Test results confirmed the presence of
asbestos. Lab results are attached as a reference.
Prior to 1980, asbestos was commonly used in manufacturing of a variety of building materials,
including floor adhesives. As a result, asbestos is present in many older buildings. It is generally ·
not a concern until removal by sanding or scraping sends asbestos dust into the air.
Facilities has retained an asbestos remediation company, Alliance Environmental, to remove
the carpet and adhesive according to state health and safety code standards. New flooring will
then need to be installed. Removal of the flooring, abating the asbestos-containing materials
and reinstalling the flooring will extend the anticipated mold remediation completion date by
about a week. Alliance Environmental will start their work on Tuesday, October 29, 2019, with
an anticipated completion date of November 5th. Upon completion of the asbestos
abatement, we will have a flooring contractor install new vinyl flooring throughout t.he facility.
We are hoping to have all work completed November 8th th, with a move-in date of November
9thth. This date may change as construction progresses, and we will be sure to keep you
informed should that occur.
We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your flexibility as this work is completed.
