Donna Fowler Municipal Lands Administrator Foothills County PO Box 5605 High River, AB T1V 1M7

Dear Ms. Fowler:

Re: Hazardous Building Material Sampling LaForge Property – NE 18-20-28-W4M – Foothills County, Alberta

At the request of Ms. Donna Fowler of Foothills County, Wood Environment & Infrastructure Solutions (Wood) conducted a hazardous building materials survey at the LaForge property located at NE 18-20-28-W4M in Foothills County, Alberta (the “Site”).

BACKGROUND AND SITE DESCRIPTION

The Site is located on the south side of the Highwood River in Foothills County, Alberta. The property was reportedly located within the flood plain and options for demolition/removal are being considered for the Site buildings. The Site buildings were unoccupied at the time of the survey. The property was secured with a gate at the road access (Photo 1). The residential house building was located on the west portion of the property (Photo 2). The shop building was located on the north-central portion of the Site (Photo 3).

The purpose of the assessment was to identify, where reasonable and within the project scope of work, asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) and select other hazardous materials, namely lead and lead containing paint (LCP), mercury-containing equipment, ozone depleting substances (ODSs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in light ballasts, silica, and suspect visible mould growth (SVG), present within the subject structures that may require special handling or removal prior to demolition activities in accordance with current provincial regulations.

SAMPLING AND RESULTS

2.1 Asbestos Containing Materials

Wood collected a total of 14 samples of suspected ACMs and submitted them to EMC Laboratory Inc. (EMC) in Phoenix, Arizona, for confirmatory laboratory analysis. EMC is a National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) certified laboratory. The samples were analyzed using Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) methods (EPA 600/R-93/116). The laboratory analytical results are appended to this report.

30 September 2021 Foothills County Page 2

S:\Project Ce\Other\CT210112\2000\fin let-hms-ct210112-2000-30sept21-afullerton.docx

The following is a summary of the samples collected on 20 August 2021:

1. Sample ACM-01 (Photo 4) – Kitchen wall behind fridge – Gypsum board and joint compound (GBJC) was ‘none-detected’ for asbestos fibres.

2. Sample ACM-02 (Photo 5) – Living room storage closet – GBJC was ‘none-detected’ for asbestos fibres.

3. Sample ACM-03 (Photo 6) – Main floor bathroom – Beige vinyl roll flooring (VRF) and associated mastic were ‘none-detected’ for asbestos fibres.

4. Sample ACM-04 – Laundry room wall – GBJC was ‘none-detected’ for asbestos fibres.

5. Sample ACM-05 – Laundry room floor – VRF and associated mastic were ‘none-detected’ for asbestos fibres.

6. Sample ACM-06 (Photo 7) – Attic – Blown insulation was ‘none-detected’ for asbestos fibres.

7. Sample ACM-07 (Photo 8) – Basement metal stove pipe – Caulking was ‘none-detected’ for asbestos fibres.

8. Sample ACM-08 – Basement bedroom closet wall – GBJC was ‘none-detected’ for asbestos fibres.

9. Sample ACM-09 (Photo 9) – Basement alcove under stairs ceiling – GBJC was ‘none-detected’ for asbestos fibres.

10. Sample ACM-10 – Basement mechanical room wall – GBJC was ‘none-detected’ for asbestos fibres.

11. Sample ACM-11 – Basement hall closet ceiling – GBJC was ‘none-detected’ for asbestos fibres.

12. Sample ACM-12 (Photo 10) – Basement mechanical room floor by sump – VRF and associated mastic were ‘none-detected’ for asbestos fibres.

13. Sample ACM-13 – Basement bathroom ceiling – GBJC was ‘none-detected’ for asbestos fibres.

14. Sample ACM-14 (Photo 11) – Roof – Shingle was ‘none-detected’ for asbestos fibres.

Based on the laboratory analytical results, none of the sampled materials were ACM. As such, no asbestos abatement procedures are recommended.

ACMs may be present in forms that were not observed or sampled during the Site survey including, but not limited to, caulking and sealants, fire rated doors, thermal insulating materials such as gaskets associated with mechanical equipment, wiring and electrical components, or in areas that were not accessible at the time of the survey.



2.2 Lead

2.2.1 Lead-Containing Paint

Wood typically samples the predominant paint colours within the Site building as this has the most significant impact on demolition/disposal costs. At the time of the survey, Wood observed a beige paint throughout the house Site building interior and Wood collected one sample (LCP-01) of the beige paint within the basement mechanical room.

No large painted surfaces were observed within the shop building and no paint samples were collected within the shop building.

Wood submitted paint sample LCP-01 to EMC in Phoenix, Arizona, for laboratory analysis. The total lead concentration in sample LCP-01 was below the reportable detection limit of 100 parts per million (ppm). Based on the analytical testing, sample LCP-01 is not considered an LCP.

Other products on-site that may contain lead included copper plumbing fixture solders, plumbing fittings, cable coverings, and electrical equipment. These materials were not sampled at the time of the survey.

2.2.2 Other Lead-Containing Materials

There were no other lead-containing materials such as lead sheeting, cornices and other such materials observed at the Site.

2.3 Mercury Containing Equipment

Wood did not observe mercury-containing equipment associated to the Site buildings at the time of the survey.

2.4 Ozone Depleting Substances

Wood did not observe ozone depleting substances (ODSs) associated to the Site buildings at the time of the survey. No roof-mounted air conditioning units were observed, and Wood did not access the roof at the time of the survey. Air conditioning units may contain R22 refrigerant which is an ODS and must be handled or disposed of in accordance with current Federal and Provincial regulations.

2.5 Polychlorinated Biphenyls

Wood did not observe fluorescent light ballasts at the time of the survey. Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) associated to fluorescent light ballasts are not anticipated to be a concern at the Site.

2.6 Silica

Silica is present in many building materials such as masonry products and is, therefore, expected to be present at the Site. The concrete floor and foundation materials may contain silica. Precautions should be taken to prevent silica containing particulate from becoming airborne during the completion of renovation or demolition activities.



2.7 Suspect Visible Mould Growth

Wood did not observe suspect visible mould growth (SVG) at time of the survey. No samples were collected or submitted for laboratory analysis.

Signatory - Lab Director - Kurt Kettler

Distinctly stratified, easily separable layers of samples are analyzed as subsamples of the whole and are reported separately for each discernible layer. All analyses are derived from calibrated visual estimate and measured in area percent unless otherwise noted. The report applies to the standards or procedures identified and to the sample(s) tested. The test results are not necessarily indicated or representative of the qualities of the lot from which the sample was taken or of apparently identical or similar products, nor do they represent an ongoing quality assurance program unless so noted. These reports are for the exclusive use of the addressed client and that they will not be reproduced wholly or in part for advertising or other purposes over our signature or in connection with our name without special written permission. The report shall not be reproduced except in full, without written approval by our laboratory. The samples not destroyed in testing are retained a maximum of thirty days. The laboratory measurement of uncertainty for the test method is approximately less than 1 by area percent. Accredited by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program for selected test method for asbestos. The accreditation or any reports generated by this laboratory in no way constitutes or implies product certification, approval, or endorsement by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. The report must not be used by the client to claim product certification, approval, or endorsement by NVLAP, NIST, or any agency of the Federal Government. Polarized Light Microscopy may not be consistently reliable in detecting asbestos in floor coverings and similar non-friable organically bound materials.

to the following: a. The Standard Terms and Conditions which form a part of our Professional Services

Contract; b. The Scope of Services; c. Time and Budgetary limitations as described in our Contract; and d. The Limitations stated herein.

2. No other warranties or representations, either expressed or implied, are made as to the professional services provided under the terms of our Contract, or the conclusions presented.

3. The conclusions presented in this report were based, in part, on visual observations of the Site and attendant structures. Our conclusions cannot and are not extended to include those portions of the Site or structures, which are not reasonably available, in Wood’s opinion, for direct observation.

4. The environmental conditions at the Site were assessed, within the limitations set out above, having due regard for applicable environmental regulations as of the date of the inspection. A review of compliance by past owners or occupants of the Site with any applicable local, provincial or federal bylaws, orders-in-council, legislative enactments and regulations was not performed.

5. The Site history research included obtaining information from third parties and employees or agents of the owner. No attempt has been made to verify the accuracy of any information provided, unless specifically noted in our report.

6. Where testing was performed, it was carried out in accordance with the terms of our contract providing for testing. Other substances, or different quantities of substances testing for, may be present on-site and may be revealed by different or other testing not provided for in our contract.

7. Because of the limitations referred to above, different environmental conditions from those stated in our report may exist. Should such different conditions be encountered, Wood must be notified in order that it may determine if modifications to the conclusions in the report are necessary.

8. The utilization of Wood’s services during the implementation of any remedial measures will allow Wood to observe compliance with the conclusions and recommendations contained in the report. Wood’s involvement will also allow for changes to be made as necessary to suit field conditions as they are encountered.

9. This report is for the sole use of the party to whom it is addressed unless expressly stated otherwise in the report or contract. Any use which any third party makes of the report, in whole or the part, or any reliance thereon or decisions made based on any information or conclusions in the report is the sole responsibility of such third party. Wood accepts no responsibility whatsoever for damages or loss of any nature or kind suffered by any such third party as a result of actions taken or not taken or decisions made in reliance on the report or anything set out therein.

10. Provided that the report is still reliable, and less than 12 months old, Wood will issue a third-party reliance letter to parties that the client identifies in writing, upon payment of the then current fee for such letters. All third parties relying on Wood’s report, by such reliance agree to be bound by our proposal and Wood’s standard reliance letter. Wood’s standard reliance letter indicates that in no event shall Wood be liable for any damages, howsoever arising, relating to third-party reliance on Wood’s report. No reliance by any party is permitted without such agreement.
