Designated Substances and Select Hazardous Materials Assessment <strong>6121</strong> Lundy’s <strong>Lane</strong>, <strong>Niagara</strong> <strong>Falls</strong>, <strong>Ontario</strong><br />

Scope of Work<br />

To produce the information required to meet Section 30 of the Occupational Health and Safety Act, OESN developed<br />

and implemented the following scope of work for the property located at <strong>6121</strong> Lundy’s <strong>Lane</strong>, <strong>Niagara</strong> <strong>Falls</strong>, <strong>Ontario</strong>:<br />

1. Identify and locate materials suspected of containing designated substances or other potentially hazardous<br />

substances throughout the interior and exterior of the building<br />

2. Collect bulk samples of materials suspected to contain designated substances and submit for analysis<br />

3. Document items suspected of containing designated substances and hazardous materials<br />

4. Document the bulk sampling and inspection methodology, assessment findings, and results of analytical<br />

work<br />

Bulk Sampling and Analysis Methodology<br />

General building assessment techniques and principles were applied for materials suspected of containing<br />

designated substances and select hazardous materials. All accessible materials suspected of containing designated<br />

substances were sampled and analyzed for the purpose of a Designated Substances and Select Hazardous<br />

Materials Assessment.<br />

The determination of materials to be sampled was based on the experience and knowledge of an OESN<br />

representative regarding the historical use of designated substances and hazardous materials in building materials.<br />

Trisha McPherson of OESN carried out the visual inspection and material bulk sampling at <strong>6121</strong> Lundy’s <strong>Lane</strong>,<br />

<strong>Niagara</strong> <strong>Falls</strong>, <strong>Ontario</strong>.<br />

Bulk Collection Methodology for Asbestos Samples<br />

Asbestos bulk sampling was performed using the method stated in Section 3 of O. Reg. 278/05 as amended.<br />

Sampling strategy for bulk sampling of asbestos included for the development of a homogeneous materials sampling<br />

coding system. Homogeneous is defined as materials similar in composition, colour and texture.<br />

The sampling plan for asbestos has the following coding system:<br />

HF–01<br />

HF – Homogeneous Floor Material (W - Wall, C - Ceiling, T - Thermal, M - Manufacturing)<br />

01 – The first homogeneous floor material sampled<br />

Analysis Methodology for Asbestos Samples<br />

All bulk samples collected during the assessment were sent to CEI Labs for analysis. CEI Labs is accredited by the<br />

National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP). Samples were analyzed using Polarized Light<br />

Microscopy (PLM). Sample preparation and analytical procedures are done in compliance with the procedures<br />

described in U.S. EPA Method 600/R93/116 Method for the Determination of Asbestos in Bulk Building Materials<br />

dated June 1993. Other procedures also utilized to supplement this method are described in Environmental<br />

Laboratory Accreditation Program 198.1. (ELAP 198.1).<br />

Bulk Collection Methodology for Lead, Mercury and Arsenic Samples<br />

Sampling strategy for bulk sampling of lead, mercury and arsenic included for the development of a homogeneous<br />

sampling coding system.<br />
