Asbesws Sampling and AnÍllysl:s
The properties are located within the jurisdiction of the South Coast Air Quality Management
District (SCAQMD). The $CAQMD requires at least 3 samples ftomeach type of construction
material (Le., different type of flooring or ceiling material) used in the buildings. Based on the
assumption that up to 3 different types of construction materials have been used in each unit
(roof, ceilíng, flooring), GCE estimates that at least 9 samples will need to be collected from the
ceiling, roof. and flooring of the single family properties for analyst!. GCE assumes up to four
units for the multi.family properties and a common roof; therefore, 27 samples will be collected
from each multi-family residential property ror anal)'1lis. The actual number of samples may be
different based on our site visit.
The samples will be collected by an AHERA-<:ertified professional. The samples will be
analyzed using US EP A Method 6001R-93-ll6.
The results of the survey will be provided to the City ina letter report,. or as a part of the Phase I
ESA report,. whichever the City prefers. The approximate SIIIIIpling ,locations will be marked on
the floor plan for the dwelling, provided by the City, and will be included in the report. The
report will also include a brief discussion of oW' findings, copies of the laboratory reports and
chain of custody documents. '
Lead SampUng and Analysis
At this time the State of California does not have any requirements for pre-demo1ition waste
survey and sampling. Therefore to provide the City with an estimatl:d cost, GeE assum~ three
types of construction màterials and bulk sampling after demolition to characterize the
construction debris/waste. , '
GeE estimates that at l~ 30 samples will need to be collected from the units for analysis. The
actual number of samples may be different based on our site visit.
The samples will be collected by a qualified staff. and will be analyzed for total lead using
US EPA Method 7420. '
The results of the survey Will be provided to the City in a letter report, or as a part of the Phase I
ESA report, whicheva- thci City prefers. The approximate sampling locations will be marked on
the floor plan for the d~lling, provided by the City, and will be included in the repon. The
repon will also include a brief discussion of our findings, copies of the laboratory reports and
chain of custody documents. ' '
