EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
ECOH Management Inc. (ECOH) was retained by The City of Toronto to conduct a pre-renovation
designated substance and hazardous materials survey of the Good Neighbours’ Club Community Centre,
located at 170 Jarvis Street, Toronto, Ontario. Mr. Steve Bizi of ECOH performed the fieldwork on
November 28, 2012.
ECOH understands the renovation work will include removal and replacement of flooring materials
throughout the facility. At the specific request of the City of Toronto, the Pre-Renovation Survey is
specifically limited to materials that could become disturbed during the flooring replacement project (e.g.
flooring materials, mastic, drywall joint compound and plaster at floor level, etc.) Should the scope of work
for the project change such that additional materials could be disturbed, further investigation for designated
substances should be performed.
This survey report fulfils requirements set forth within the Ministry of Labour Codes as well as the Ontario
Occupational Health and Safety Act to inform workers of the presence of Designated Substances prior to
renovation.
KEY FINDINGS & RECOMMENDATIONS
Asbestos
All potentially asbestos-containing materials within the project area were sampled during the
investigation, and laboratory analysis indicated that these materials are non-asbestos.
Removal or disturbance of materials confirmed to be non-asbestos does not require asbestos safety
precautions but should employ general health and safety precautions that may include dust suppression.
During project work, if any additional materials are found beyond those which are described in this
report, or described in the existing inventory of asbestos-containing materials (i.e. materials not
previously identified, or materials that are not homogenous to those previously identified, or materials
that become revealed during the work), additional testing for asbestos-content should be completed
immediately and prior to disturbance of the material. Alternatively, these materials can be assumed to
contain asbestos, and the appropriate level of asbestos safety precautions must be implemented.
Disturbance of asbestos-containing materials (assumed or confirmed) must comply with Ontario Regulation
278/05 – Designated Substance – Asbestos on Construction Projects and in Buildings and Repair
Operations. Classification of the asbestos operation should be determined by an experienced and qualified
person.
Lead
No other major sources of lead or lead-containing products were observed during the survey; however, lead
may be present in:
•
Wiring connectors and electric cable sheathing; and
•
Piping and solder joints on piping.
The removal of all lead-containing building materials should be conducted following recommendations
detailed within the Ministry of Labour Guideline, “Lead on Construction Projects”, dated April 2011.
Renovation, demolition or general construction work involving the removal of non lead-based paints (i.e.
trace concentrations of lead below 0.5%, or 5000 ppm, by dry weight) can be completed without lead
specific safety precautions provided that:

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
•
Work does not include 'fume generating activities' (heat producing) such as welding, torching, burning,
high temperature cutting, etc.;
•
Dust levels are maintained below 3 mg/m3; and
•
General health and safety construction procedures are implemented, which would include dust
suppression methods, proper respiratory protection (minimum of a ½-face respirator), and protective
clothing, as is appropriate for the work being completed.
Materials containing even trace amounts of lead should be removed without grinding, cutting, torching, or
chemical stripping. Additionally, workers should employ general safety precautions such as appropriate
dust suppression methods and proper personal protective equipment.
Silica
Any work involving the disturbance of materials that may contain silica should be conducted following
recommendations detailed in the Ministry of Labour document “Guideline - Silica on Construction
Projects”, dated April 2011.
Complete commentary on each of the designated substances in the project area can be found in the body of
this report. The executive summary is not intended to substitute for the complete report, nor does it discuss
certain specific issues documented within the report.

SURVEY METHODOLOGY
2.1
General Approach
To ensure familiarity with the project area, the surveyor made reference to previous surveys, facility
floor plans (provided for reference in Appendix II) and other documentation available prior to
commencing the survey. The surveyor looked for the most common applications of building
materials made with Designated Substances based on historical applications.
2.2
Asbestos Survey Methodology
2.2.1
Asbestos Sampling Strategy and Analytical Methods
Where required during the designated substances and hazardous materials survey, bulk samples of
potentially asbestos-containing materials were collected for analysis, as per the requirements of
Ontario Regulation 278/05; multiple samples (ranging from 3 to 7 depending on quantity and type
of material) are required to confirm the absence of asbestos. Only one positive result (i.e.
confirming the presence of asbestos) is required to classify a material as asbestos-containing.
Therefore, ECOH’s sampling strategy involves the collection of sufficient numbers of samples to
meet regulatory requirements, followed by instructions to the laboratory to cease analysis when one
sample within a series has already proven positive for asbestos.
Sampling requires a small volume of material either to be removed from a damaged section of
suspect material, or cut from intact material, and then repaired by sealing with tape in order to
prevent fibre release. The collected samples were placed in plastic bags and sealed during shipment
to an independent laboratory. A formal chain of custody procedure was maintained between ECOH
and the sub-contracted laboratory during sample transport. Samples were then analysed following
the analytical procedure prescribed by Ontario Regulation 278/05: U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency Test Method EPA/600/R-93/116: Method for the Determination of Asbestos in Bulk
Building Materials, June 1993. Although not required by provincial regulation, all laboratories
used by ECOH are accredited under the U.S. National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program
(NVLAP) to ensure consistent, accurate, and defensible results.
See Appendix I for the Chain of Custody and the Certificate of Analysis, which detail analytical
results for all bulk samples referenced in the findings section.
2.3
Lead Methodology
The presence of lead in paint was assessed by the use of an X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) spectrum
analyzer. The analyzer reports results instantaneously in units of mg/cm2. Calibration of the
analyzer was completed using a performance characteristic sheet, which stipulates calibration check

limits between 0.8 to 1.2 mg/cm2. In cases in which XRF results were ambiguous, samples were
submitted to a professional laboratory for further analysis by atomic absorption spectrophotometry.
2.4
Mould Assessment
The mould assessment of the project area was conducted in accordance with the Canadian
Construction Association, Standard Construction Document CCA 82, 2004; “Mould Guidelines for
the Canadian Construction Industry”. Although there are no regulatory requirements or guidelines
in Ontario for such an assessment, the preceding protocol has become accepted as the industry
standard by most experts, consultants, and the Ontario Ministry of Labour.
2.5
Survey of Other Hazardous Materials
Materials or equipment suspected of containing ODS, PCBs, UFFI and other Designated
Substances are identified by appearance, age and knowledge of historic applications.

CITY OF TORONTO
PRE-RENOVATION DESIGNATED SUBSTANCE SURVEY
GOOD NEIGHBOURS’ CLUB COMMUNITY CENTRE
170 JARVIS STREET, TORONTO, ONTARIO
ECOH PROJECT NUMBER: 14308
DECEMBER 2012
Please note; paint, adhesives, plastics and fuel residue present throughout the project area may
contain trace amounts of Acrylonitrile, Arsenic, Benzene, Ethylene Oxides, Isocyanates, Lead,
Mercury and/or Vinyl Chloride Monomer. However, none of these materials were observed in a
hazardous or unsafe condition. Dust suppression and personal protection procedures should be
implemented during the demolition of materials that may contain any of the above-mentioned
substances.
4.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The following recommendations meet requirements of the Occupational Health and Safety Act.
Asbestos recommendations meet the requirements of Ontario Regulation 278/05, Designated
Substance – Asbestos on Construction Projects and in Buildings and Repair Operations. Based
upon the observations of this assessment, ECOH Management Inc. offers the following
recommendations:
4.1
Asbestos
All potentially asbestos-containing materials within the project area were sampled during the
investigation, and laboratory analysis indicated that these materials are non-asbestos.
Removal or disturbance of materials confirmed to be non-asbestos does not require asbestos
safety precautions but should employ general health and safety precautions that may include dust
suppression.
During project work, if any additional materials are found beyond those which are described in
this report, or described in the existing inventory of asbestos-containing materials (i.e. materials
not previously identified, or materials that are not homogenous to those previously identified, or
materials that become revealed during the work), additional testing for asbestos-content should
be completed immediately and prior to disturbance of the material. Alternatively, these materials
can be assumed to contain asbestos, and the appropriate level of asbestos safety precautions must
be implemented.
Disturbance of asbestos-containing materials (assumed or confirmed) must comply with Ontario
Regulation 278/05 – Designated Substance – Asbestos on Construction Projects and in Buildings
and Repair Operations. Classification of the asbestos operation should be determined by an
experienced and qualified person.
4.2
Lead
The removal of any identified lead-containing building materials should be conducted following
recommendations detailed within the Ministry of Labour Guideline, “Lead on Construction
Projects”, dated April 2011.
Renovation, demolition or general construction work involving the removal of non lead-based
paints (i.e. trace concentrations of lead below 0.5%, or 5000 ppm, by dry weight) can be completed
without lead specific safety precautions provided that:
1. Work does not include 'fume generating activities' (heat producing) such as welding, torching,
burning, high temperature cutting, etc.;

2. Dust levels are maintained below 3 mg/m3; and
3. General health and safety construction procedures are implemented, which would include dust
suppression methods, proper respiratory protection (minimum of a ½-face respirator) and
protective clothing, as is appropriate for the work being completed.
Materials containing even trace amounts of lead should be removed without grinding, cutting,
torching, or chemical stripping. Additionally, workers should employ general safety precautions
such as appropriate dust suppression methods and proper personal protective equipment.
4.3
Silica
Any work involving the disturbance of materials that may contain silica should be conducted
following recommendations detailed in the Ministry of Labour document “Guideline - Silica on
Construction Projects”, dated April 2011.
5.
STATEMENT OF LIMITATIONS

heterogeneous soil samples be conducted by TEM for confirmation of “None Detected” by PLM. This report relates only to the samples tested and may not be reproduced, except in full, without the
written approval of SAI. This report may not be used by the client to claim product endorsement by NVLAP or any other agency of the U.S. government. Estimated MDL is 0.1%.
