2 METHODOLOGY
2.1 GENERALThe identification of hazardous materials involves a combination of visual inspection of the accessible areas of thebuilding/structure and the collection of representative samples of the suspect materials for the purpose of analyticalconfirmation. Where identical suspect materials are detected at different locations, visual confirmation only may havebeen made rather than additional sample collection.
2.2 IDENTIFICATION OF MATERIAL
2.2.1 ASBESTOS CONTAINING MATERIAL
Representative samples of materials suspected of containing asbestos were collected and analysed at our in-house NATAaccredited laboratory. The identification of asbestos fibres is based on using polarised light microscopy supplementedwith dispersion staining techniques. This is detailed in Australian Standard 4964-2004 ‘Method for the qualitativeidentification of asbestos in bulk samples. Asbestos samples were only collected for analysis where the safety ofpersonnel would not be compromised. Sampling was conducted in accordance with the WSP’s in house survey guide andthe United Kingdom Health & Safety Executive publication, ‘Methods for the Determination of Hazardous Substances100, surveying, sampling and assessment of asbestos-containing materials.
2.2.2 LEAD-BASED PAINT SYSTEMS
Representative samples of paint were collected and analysed at Envirolab Services NATA Accredited Laboratory. Leadcontent is reported in percentage weight by weight and compared with AS4361.2-2017, Guide to Lead PaintManagement, Part 2: Residential and Commercial Buildings lead containing paint system level of 0.1 per cent (w/w) ofthe dried film.
2.2.3 SYNTHETIC MINERAL FIBRES (SMF) MATERIALS
The survey for SMF was undertaken in accordance with the guidelines documented in the Code of Practice for the SafeUse of Synthetic Mineral Fibres [NOHSC: 2006 (1990)]. This includes documenting any materials visually assessed onsite as being consistent with SMF.
Our experienced surveyor visually identified and recorded the presence of synthetic mineral fibre products onsite.
The roof space and all levels containing ceiling voids must be visually inspected to verify the presence of SMF.Additionally, special detail must also be paid to pipework and ducting insulations types.
2.2.4 POLYCHLORINATED BIPHENYLS (PCBS)
Where access was available and power was isolated, representative examples of each major type of fluorescent lightfittings were examined to determine which lights were fitted with PCB containing ballast capacitors. The details of thebrand, model of each capacitor and capacity were recorded and checked against with the ANZECC database of knownPCB capacitors and PCB free capacitors.
The Australian and New Zealand Environment Conservation Council ‘Polychlorinated Biphenyls Management Plan,November 1996’ outlines the National Strategy for the management of PCBs.
The document defines PCB materials and wastes as follows:

2 mg/kg - <50 mg/kg - Non-Scheduled PCB material or waste.
>50 mg/kg - Scheduled PCB material or waste.
>100,000 mg/kg (10%) - Concentrated PCB material.
2.2.5 OZONE DEPLETING SUBSTANCES (ODS)
The main cause of ozone depletion and the ozone hole is man-made chemicals, especially man-made halocarbonrefrigerants, solvents, propellants, and foam-blowing agents which are commonly referred to as ozone-depletingsubstances (ODS).
The identification of potentially ODS, such as industrial refrigerators and air conditioning units, were visually identifiedduring the current survey.
Where ODS have been previously identified at the site, they have been included in the updated HAZMAT register.
2.2.6 UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANK (UST)
Inspection of the premises to determine the presence of above and below ground fuel storage tanks.Petroleum products are classified as a Dangerous Substance under the ACT Dangerous Substances Act 2004.The management of fuel storage tanks is regulated by WorkSafe ACT.

3 RESTRICTIONS / INACCESSIBLEAREA
Every effort was made to access all areas of the buildings; however, some areas were restricted due to building damage,excessive heights and electrical hazards. This included, but is not limited to the following areas:
— The roof-line to all buildings and structures over 3.0m in height;
— Inground and underground services (pits / pipes / etc);
— Portion on the ceiling voids;
— Portions of wall cavities;
— Inset pipe-works to the brick/concrete walls;
— Under ceramic tiles to walls and floors;
— All live electricity and mechanical plant/equipment;
— All electrical boards and circuit breakers;
In general, a presumption should be made that hazardous materials are present within areas not able to be accessed duringthe survey. Caution should be given during demolition works and works ceased if suspected hazardous materials areencountered and an assessment undertaken by a suitably qualified hazardous materials expert.

5 RECOMMEDATION FOR REMOVAL
5.1 GENERAL SITE ESTABLISHMENTn The asbestos containing materials should be removed prior to the commencement of demolition works.
The asbestos removal works are to be conducted in accordance with the SafeWork Australia document How toSafely Remove Asbestos – Code of Practice.
n All asbestos removal, transport and disposal must be performed in accordance with ACT legislative requirements.
n Where asbestos cannot be removed prior to mechanical demolition (e.g. where structures are unsound, inhibitingaccess to asbestos removal personnel), dust suppression must be employed during demolition. All building wastesuspected of containing asbestos must be removed as asbestos waste and placed in appropriately lined bins/trucksfor disposal to an approved waste facility.
n It is recommended that the removal works to be undertaken by a licenced asbestos removal contractor. The removalto be undertaken in accordance with the code of practice noted above and by a licenced asbestos removal contractor.
n Environmental management and WHS procedures should be put in place for the asbestos removal during demolitionworks to protect the workers, surrounding residents and environment.
n It is recommended that a licenced asbestos assessor is engaged to carry out asbestos fibre air monitoring during theremoval of the asbestos materials if asbestos removal works are to take place during other demolition works. Themonitoring is to be conducted in accordance with the National Occupational Health and Safety CommissionGuidance Note on the Membrane Filter Method for the Estimating Airborne Asbestos Fibre, 2nd Edition [NOHSC3003(2005)], April 2005, by a NATA accredited laboratory such as WSP Australia.
n At all times “H Class” asbestos vacuums and negative air units fitted with HEPA filters are to be used duringasbestos removal and remediation. These are to be regularly tested and maintained to operate at 99.995% efficiency,in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
n Filters for “H Class” vacuums should conform to the requirements for AS 4260-1997 High efficiency particulate are(HEPA) filters – Classification, construction and performance or its equivalent.
n Disposal of asbestos containing material must be undertaken in accordance the SafeWork Australia document Howto Safely Remove Asbestos – Code of Practice 2014 and the ACT EPA Guidelines at a land fill site licenced toaccept asbestos waste.
5.2 ENCLOSURE SET-UPn Potential entry points to the asbestos work area should be signposted and barrier taped in accordance with AS1319-
1994 Safety Signs for the Occupational Environment.
n A minimum 3 stage decontamination unit with clean change-shower-dirty shower-dirty change areas must also beinstalled and used under negative air pressure. Water from the decontamination unit should be captured, filtered,and the filters are to be disposed of as asbestos waste.
n Construction of the main negative air enclosures may require the inclusion of the outer brick walls in order tomaintain negative air conditions in the interior of the home. To obtain negative air conditions in the roof space, thecontractor will be required to place plastic sheeting (minimum of 200µm thickness) over the roof tiles or roofsheets, eaves and back to the brick outer walls. All windows and penetrations to the dwelling such as vents will besealed with 200µm plastic sheeting.

n In order to complete the above it may be necessary to remove items such as awnings, solar panels, fences, trellisesor other fittings attached to the house, that may impact upon enclosure or scaffold set-up.
n Once the enclosure set-up is complete an asbestos assessor is conduct an enclosure integrity test to all the seals ofthe enclosure and to measure the flow of the negative pressure units to ensure that it can maintain negative pressure.Work can only commence once the asbestos assessor has deemed the enclosure to be “satisfactory” to do so. Amanometer is to be attached to the enclosure to ensure that negative air pressure within is above 12 kPa.
5.3 NON-FRIABLE ACM FROM THE BUILDINGn Remove non-friable ACM material with minimal breakage.
n Maintain work in progress air monitoring (Control and Perimeter Locations).
n Refer to Worksafe ACT How to Safely Remove Asbestos Code of Practice 2014.
n Please Note that If present, all nails, screws and fasteners associated with ACM must be removed and disposed of asasbestos contaminated waste. All timber or metal battens must be decontaminated with the use of a HEPA vacuumcleaner.
n Place fragments of AC Sheeting material in 200µm polythene bags which are no longer than 1200mm and no widerthan 900mm.
n Place sheets of AC Sheeting directly into a bin in close proximity to works, lined with 200 µm plastic, and keptdamp to minimise the generation of airborne asbestos. Ensure that the bin is labelled and if to remain on site for anyperiod of time, kept secure at all times.
n In relation to the asbestos containing joint mastic and electrical backing board, polythene sheeting drop sheetsshould be placed under the material. The material removed with minimal breakage and placed within 200 µm thickpolythene bags or wrapped with 200 µm thick polythene sheeting. Any fixtures or fittings associated with thematerial such as screws, nails or brackets should be removed asbestos waste or if possible decontaminated. Thearea should be clear of any visible dust following the removal.
n Following the satisfactory clearance inspection and if deemed necessary by the licenced asbestos assessor, tintedPVA solution should be sprayed on timber or metal battens and polythene drop sheets prior to its removal for thework area and disposal.
n Following the completion of the above, an ‘emu or sparrow pick’ of the ground surface in proximity to removalworks (and along any waste/work route) is to be undertaken to remove any fragments of AC sheeting. All fragmentsare to be placed in 200 µm thick polythene bags which are no longer than 1200 mm and no wider than 900 mmwide. Bags are to be sealed and double bagged to reduce the risk of the bags splitting.
n Once the pick is complete, a clearance is to be conducted by the licenced asbestos assessor.
5.4 FRIABLE ACM FROM THE INTERIOR OF THE BUILDING
5.4.1 REMOVAL OF GASKET OR ROPE SEALS
The asbestos in gaskets and rope from plant and equipment will be friable. An enclosure with negative air extraction unitsmust be used for this type of asbestos removal work. When removing gaskets and rope seals: ensure the plant orequipment is shut down and isolated
n dismantle the equipment carefully. Protect any other components with plastic sheeting;
n ensure the plant and equipment has been made safe (pipework emptied, electrical supply isolated and equipmentshutdown, etc.);
n unbolt or unscrew the flange or dismantle the equipment;

n once accessible, dampen the asbestos with a fine water mist or similar. Continue dampening the asbestos as more ofit is exposed/accessible;
n ease the gasket or rope seal away with the scraper and place into the waste container positioned directlybeside/beneath it. Keep the area damp and scrape away any residue; and
n consider using an industrial vacuum cleaner fitted with a HEPA filter while scraping.
5.4.2 REMOVAL OF ASBESTOS-BACKED VINYL
As asbestos millboard is typically 100 per cent asbestos and very friable. An enclosure with negative air extraction unitsmust be used for this type of asbestos removal work.
n The asbestos millboard should be wetted down as the vinyl is peeled from the floor, preferably with the millboardattached.
n The vinyl can be cut into strips prior to its removal to facilitate bagging, or it can be rolled into one roll andwrapped securely with plastic, making sure it is totally sealed.
n If the vinyl sheeting cannot be removed without leaving some of the asbestos millboard on the floor surface, theremaining asbestos millboard should be wetted down and, when thoroughly soaked, scraped off the floor surface.
n Sufficient water should be used to dampen the asbestos millboard, but not so much that run-off or pools ofcontaminated water will occur.
n Alternative removal methods should only be used if they do not result in excessive fibre release from the asbestosmillboard and do not result in any additional hazard.
5.5 SYNTHETIC MINERAL FIBRES (SMF)Synthetic Mineral Fibres may be classified as hazardous depending on their age and manufacturing origin. It is thereforerecommended that some precautionary measures be implemented to ensure adequate protection of workers from potentialexposure.
Where SMF materials are to be handled or disturbed, the precautionary measures as outlined in the NationalOccupational Health and Safety Commission's National Code of Practice for the Safe use of Synthetic Mineral Fibre Products[NOHSC:2006(1990)] should be observed. The general requirements are as follows:
§ Personal protective clothing (long sleeve, loose fitting), gloves and half face (Class P1 or P2) respirators should beused, as well as eye protection and head covering in some circumstances.
§ The work area should be isolated and signposted.
§ Waste material should be bagged or sealed in solid containers prior to transport and disposal.
5.6 LEAD§ It is recommended that the easily detachable items containing lead paint do not require to go through the lead paint
removal procedures (i.e. wet sanding, chemical stripping or hand scrapping). However, when these items areremoved it is recommended that 200-micron thick drop sheets are to be placed on all ground surfaces in proximity tothe works and wrapped in 200 micron thick plastic sheeting to prevent contamination to the ground surfacessurrounding the building.
§ Items that cannot be easily removed which contain lead paint will be demolished under controlled conditions toreduce limit further ground contamination to the site and the waste will be included with demolition waste. Controlswill consist of but not limited too;

§ Spraying the lead in paint surface with a binding agent to limit potential paint flakes or dust depositing on the groundsurface;
§ Bunding around the demolition area to contain water run-off;
§ Water dust suppression during the demolition and loading phase; and
§ A minimum 10 metre exclusion zone around the demolition and loading out of the demolition waste.
As a precautionary and control measure, static lead in air monitoring should be undertaken during the remediation worksin accordance with Australian Standard AS 3640-2004 Workplace atmospheres - Method for sampling and gravimetricdetermination of inhalable dust by an experienced environmental scientist.
§ Clearance certification should be undertaken at the completion of the removal work. The clearance inspection shouldto be carried out by an occupational hygienist or licensed asbestos assessor specialised in the management ofhazardous materials.
§ Environmental management and OH&S procedures should be put in place for the remediation works to protect theworkers and the environment.
5.7 POLYCHLORINATED BIPHENYLS (PCBS)If the presence of PCB’s can be confirmed with the light fittings the following should be followed for the safe removal;
§ A detailed and site-specific work scope and technical specification will be developed prior to the removal of‘hazardous materials’ from the residence;
§ In accordance with the NSW WHS Regulations 2012 and NSW WHS Act 2012, removal of hazardous materialsmust be completed by a contractor licensed to remove hazardous materials (i.e. asbestos, lead, PCBs) and must becompleted under a site-specific permit. This permit can only be applied for by a licensed and qualified hazardousmaterials removal contractor; and
§ Removal of PCB containing materials is recommended to be removed by a qualified contractor with experience inhazardous waste and PCB removal. The removal contractor must follow legislative requirements for the PCBcontaining materials removal.
5.8 OZONE DEPLETING SUBSTANCES (ODS)§ Remove in accordance with the AIRAH Refrigerant Handling Code of Practice 2007.
§ Unit should be de-gassed by a licensed HVAC technician before disposal. As per the ozone protection andsynthetic greenhouse gas management regulations 1996 (amended 2016).

Guideline limits for Rinse Water Quality reported as per analytical requirements and specifications of AS 4187, Amdt 2 2019, Table7.2
The recommended maximums for analytes in urine are taken from “2018 TLVs and BEIs”, as published by ACGIH (where available).Limit provided for Nickel is a precautionary guideline as per Position Paper prepared by AIOH Exposure Standards Committee,2016.
Australian Drinking Water Guidelines recommend that Thermotolerant Coliform, Faecal Enterococci, & E.Coli levels are less than1cfu/100mL. The recommended maximums are taken from "Australian Drinking Water Guidelines", published by NHMRC & ARMC2011.
Surrogates are known additions to each sample, blank, matrix spike and LCS in a batch, of compounds whichare similar to the analyte of interest, however are not expected to be found in real samples.
Surrogate Spike
This comprises either a standard reference material or a control matrix (such as a blank sand or water) fortifiedwith analytes representative of the analyte class. It is simply a check sample.
LCS (LaboratoryControl Sample)
A portion of the sample is spiked with a known concentration of target analyte. The purpose of the matrix spikeis to monitor the performance of the analytical method used and to determine whether matrix interferencesexist.
Matrix Spike
This is the complete duplicate analysis of a sample from the process batch. If possible, the sample selectedshould be one where the analyte concentration is easily measurable.
Duplicate
This is the component of the analytical signal which is not derived from the sample but from reagents,glassware etc, can be determined by processing solvents and reagents in exactly the same manner as forsamples.

Quality Control Definitions
Samples for Microbiological analysis (not Amoeba forms) received outside of the 2-8°C temperature range do not meet the idealcooling conditions as stated in AS2031-2012.
Analysis of aqueous samples typically involves the extraction/digestion and/or analysis of the liquid phase only (i.e. NOT any settledsediment phase but inclusive of suspended particles if present), unless stipulated on the Envirolab COC and/or by correspondence.Notable exceptions include certain Physical Tests (pH/EC/BOD/COD/Apparent Colour etc.), Solids testing, total recoverable metalsand PFAS where solids are included by default.
Measurement Uncertainty estimates are available for most tests upon request.
Where sampling dates are not provided, Envirolab are not in a position to comment on the validity of the analysis whererecommended technical holding times may have been breached.
When samples are received where certain analytes are outside of recommended technical holding times (THTs), the analysis hasproceeded. Where analytes are on the verge of breaching THTs, every effort will be made to analyse within the THT or as soon aspracticable.
In circumstances where no duplicate and/or sample spike has been reported at 1 in 10 and/or 1 in 20 samples respectively, thesample volume submitted was insufficient in order to satisfy laboratory QA/QC protocols.
Matrix Spikes, LCS and Surrogate recoveries: Generally 70-130% for inorganics/metals (not SPOCAS); 60-140% fororganics/SPOCAS (+/-50% surrogates) and 10-140% for labile SVOCs (including labile surrogates), ultra trace organics andspeciated phenols is acceptable.
Duplicates: >10xPQL - RPD acceptance criteria will vary depending on the analytes and the analytical techniques but is typically inthe range 20%-50% – see ELN-P05 QA/QC tables for details; <10xPQL - RPD are higher as the results approach PQL and theestimated measurement uncertainty will statistically increase.
For VOCs in water samples, three vials are required for duplicate or spike analysis.
Spikes for Physical and Aggregate Tests are not applicable.
Filters, swabs, wipes, tubes and badges will not have duplicate data as the whole sample is generally extracted during sampleextraction.
Duplicate sample and matrix spike recoveries may not be reported on smaller jobs, however, were analysed at a frequency to meetor exceed NEPM requirements. All samples are tested in batches of 20. The duplicate sample RPD and matrix spike recoveries forthe batch were within the laboratory acceptance criteria.

Guideline limits for Rinse Water Quality reported as per analytical requirements and specifications of AS 4187, Amdt 2 2019, Table7.2
The recommended maximums for analytes in urine are taken from “2018 TLVs and BEIs”, as published by ACGIH (where available).Limit provided for Nickel is a precautionary guideline as per Position Paper prepared by AIOH Exposure Standards Committee,2016.
Australian Drinking Water Guidelines recommend that Thermotolerant Coliform, Faecal Enterococci, & E.Coli levels are less than1cfu/100mL. The recommended maximums are taken from "Australian Drinking Water Guidelines", published by NHMRC & ARMC2011.
Surrogates are known additions to each sample, blank, matrix spike and LCS in a batch, of compounds whichare similar to the analyte of interest, however are not expected to be found in real samples.
Surrogate Spike
This comprises either a standard reference material or a control matrix (such as a blank sand or water) fortifiedwith analytes representative of the analyte class. It is simply a check sample.
LCS (LaboratoryControl Sample)
A portion of the sample is spiked with a known concentration of target analyte. The purpose of the matrix spikeis to monitor the performance of the analytical method used and to determine whether matrix interferencesexist.
Matrix Spike
This is the complete duplicate analysis of a sample from the process batch. If possible, the sample selectedshould be one where the analyte concentration is easily measurable.
Duplicate
This is the component of the analytical signal which is not derived from the sample but from reagents,glassware etc, can be determined by processing solvents and reagents in exactly the same manner as forsamples.

LIMITATIONS OF A HAZARDOUS MATERIALSINSPECTIONSCOPE OF SERVICES
This hazardous materials inspection report (‘the report’) has been prepared in accordance with the scope of services setout in the contract, or as otherwise agreed, between the Client and WSP Australia (‘scope of services’). In somecircumstances the scope of services may have been limited by a range of factors such as time, budget, access and/or sitedisturbance constraints.
RELIANCE ON DATA
In preparing the report, WSP has relied upon data, surveys, analyses, designs, plans and other information provided bythe Client and other individuals and organisations, most of which are referred to in the report (‘the data’). Except asotherwise stated in the report, WSP has not verified the accuracy or completeness of the data. To the extent that thestatements, opinions, facts, information, conclusions and/or recommendations in the report (‘conclusions’) are based inwhole or part on the data, those conclusions are contingent upon the accuracy and completeness of the data. WSP willnot be liable in relation to incorrect conclusions should any data, information or condition be incorrect or have beenconcealed, withheld, misrepresented or otherwise not fully disclosed to WSP.
NO INSPECTION CAN BE GUARANTEED TO LOCATE ALL HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
In practice, it is generally impossible to locate all hazardous materials in the course of an inspection.
This is because of factors such as:
n The availability of building/plant construction plans. There is no instrument which can detect hazardous materials.
n Inaccessible and restricted areas during survey
The presence of hazardous materials must be determined visually, as there is no single, cost effective instrumentcurrently available for the purpose. Usually an inspector will take samples of suspect materials and have them analysedin a laboratory. Thus, any restrictions on the amount of sampling will reduce confidence in the hazardous materialsinspection findings. The consequence of this is that hazardous materials which cannot be seen will not be found.

HAZARDOUS MATERIALS ARE COMMONPLACE
From the early 1900s until the early 1970s, asbestos was widely used in industry. The use of asbestos cement sheets inroof pipes and wall cladding was particularly widespread, as was the use of ‘limpet’ asbestos fibre insulation in steelframed high-rise buildings. Asbestos was also used for applications such as insulation of pipes and high temperatureelectricity cables, in plastics, in PVC floor tiles, for reinforcement in cements, putties and mastic and in gaskets andfriction materials.
Whilst major uses of hazardous materials were sometimes recorded on engineering drawings, there are few records of thead hoc use of hazardous materials and products. To give examples from the building industry, plumbers frequently usedasbestos fibre in caulking compounds and builders often used Asbestos Cement sheeting as packing under floorboards.
In short, asbestos could be almost anywhere in a building or plant constructed before the 1980s.
RELIANCE ON A HAZARDOUS MATERIALS INSPECTION
The client must not rely upon an inspection or report as indicating that a site or building is ‘hazardous materials free’.All that the report can be relied upon to show is that no hazardous materials were found (or that only such hazardousmaterials were found as was reported to have been found) in the course of the inspection. The findings of the report mustbe considered together with the specific scope and limitations of the type of inspection undertaken.
REPORT FOR BENEFIT OF CLIENT
The report has been prepared for the benefit of the Client and no other party. WSP assumes no responsibility and will notbe liable to any other person or organisation for or in relation to any matter dealt with or conclusions expressed in thereport, or for any loss or damage suffered by any other person or organisation arising from matters dealt with orconclusions expressed in the report (including without limitation matters arising from any negligent act or omission ofWSP or for any loss or damage suffered by any other party relying upon the matters dealt with or conclusions expressedin the report). Other parties should not rely upon the report or the accuracy or completeness of any conclusions andshould make their own enquiries and obtain independent advice in relation to such matters.
For the purposes of this limitations statement, ‘conclusions’ include statements, opinions, facts, information, conclusionsand/or recommendations in the report.
