City of Ramsey <br />Project B1610732.00 <br />November 28, 2016 <br />Page 3 <br />Bulk asbestos analysis was conducted in accordance with the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) <br />Method 40 CFR, Chapter 1, Part 763, Subpart F, and Appendix A (7/1/87 Edition). <br />C.2. Lead -Based Paint <br />Testing of limited building components for lead -based paint was accomplished utilizing a Niton XL X-Ray <br />Fluorescence (XRF) field portable analyzer, Model No. XLP303A - Serial No. 22287, equipped with a 40- <br />milocurie CD-109 source - Serial No. TR3277, installed on March 17, 2015. <br />Analysis decision -making protocols were based on compliance with the United States (US) EPA and <br />Minnesota Department of Health (MDH), which consider any x-ray fluorescence (XRF) result of 1.0 <br />milligram per square centimeter (mg/cm2) or greater to be "lead -based paint." The following is a list of <br />lead -based paints that were found on the limited building components tested. <br />■ No "lead -based paint" was detected in the surfaces tested at the time of the inspection. <br />Refer to Table III in Appendix C, which lists the sample numbers, sample locations, component <br />descriptions, XRF field results, and the paint condition for each sample. <br />C.3. Miscellaneous Regulated Waste <br />A visual inspection for miscellaneous regulated waste materials that require separate handling and <br />disposal prior to disturbance during building demolition was also performed as part of this assessment. <br />The following is a list of items documented at the site: <br />C.3.a. Poly -Chlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) <br />■ Light ballasts <br />■ Transformers <br />C.3.b. Mercury <br />■ Batteries — smoke detectors, emergency lighting, exit signs and security system. <br />■ Electrical Systems — electrical panels, load meters, supply relays, control switches, fuses, <br />motors, and pumps. <br />■ Heating — natural gas furnace, gauges, space heater controls, thermostats, and unit heater <br />controls. <br />■ Lighting —fluorescent lamps, "silent" wall switches, explosion proof lighting, high -intensity <br />discharge, neon and high-pressure sodium lamps. <br />C.3.c. Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and Hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) <br />■ Fire extinguishers <br />■ Refrigerants — heat pumps, roof -top air conditioners and walk-in coolers. <br />C.3.d. Hazardous Waste <br />■ Chemicals — antifreeze, paint cans, paint drums, polyurethane, solvents, stains, industrial <br />lubricants, chemical sealer, presoak/wall cleaner, and foaming polish. <br />■ Lead — exit signs, lead -acid batteries, and security system. <br />■ Petroleum products —oils in miscellaneous motors and door closers, machine oil, and <br />machine pistons. <br />BRAUN <br />INTERTEC <br />
