1 Background Information

Based on the provided Statement of Work (SOW), COLE & XCG JV provided supervision consultancy services in support of the removal of asbestos-contaminated material (e.g. carpet) and ACM debris (drywall joint compound debris) throughout the Nurses Residence at 69 Seventh Avenue North, Sioux Lookout, ON. This ACM Clean-up was carried out to allow for general contractors to access the site safely. The Nurse’s Residence is currently unoccupied.

The following reports were provided along with the SOW for review:

− “Statement of Work – ACM Clean-Up Sioux Lookout – Refit Nurses Residence, Sioux Lookout, ON,” dated January 13, 2020, PWGSC;

− “Architectural Plans for Level 1 & 2”; and

− “Designated Substances and Hazardous Materials Survey Report, Nurses Residences, Sioux Lookout, ON,” dated December 10, 2019, COLE & XCG JV.

The intent of this project was to meet Public Works and Governments Services Canada (PWGSC) on behalf

of the client Indigenous Services Canada (ISC) – First Nations Inuit and Health Branch (FNIHB) obligations

under the Ontario Occupational Health and Safety Act prior to construction.

As this abatement work comprises of clean-up activities and removal of materials contaminated with

asbestos-containing materials, a modified program utilizing Type 2 precautionary measures was deployed.

Mr. Hassan Ktaech of COLE was on site to conduct visual inspections and air monitoring during the clean-

up activities between January 20 – 26, 2020. All contractor work was carried out by Matro Environmental

Solutions (MATRO) following applicable Asbestos Safety Precautions, as per Ontario Regulation 278/05,

“Designated Substance – Asbestos on Construction Projects and in Buildings and Repair Operations” under

the Occupational Health and Safety Act.

2 Sampling Methods Quality Control

Air samples are collected using a constant-flow high volume air-sampling pump. The sampling equipment

is calibrated before sampling to a flow rate of 15 liters/minute with a primary standard Dywer Rotameter,

using a filter cassette in-line. Samples are collected on a mixed cellulose ester (MCE) membrane filter with

0.8-micrometer pore size and 25-millimeter diameter. The filter is mounted inside a three-piece filter

cassette with a two-inch cowl.

PCM air samples are analysed in accordance with the Phase Contrast Microscopy (PCM) method, in

accordance with the "A" set of counting rules, following procedures specified in the National Institute for

Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Method 7400 “Asbestos and other Fibres by PCM”. It is

important to note that fibre type is not identified through the use of this method. All particles with lengths

of 5 micrometres or longer, and with length-to-width ratios of 3-1 or greater, are included in the count.

The Ministry of the Environment has established 0.04 f/cc of air as the 24-hour average ambient air quality

criterion (for asbestos) for the general environment. This limit is also based on the PCM method of

analysis. To ensure that building occupants are not exposed to fibre concentrations greater than those



acceptable for the general public during active asbestos abatement work, COLE has adopted the 0.04 f/cc

value as an action level for air samples collected outside asbestos abatement enclosures, during routine

monitoring of ongoing asbestos abatement work inside buildings.

Air analysis of samples collected to assess airborne fibre concentrations will be analyzed by an

independent commercial laboratory, EMC Scientific Inc., a laboratory accredited under the U.S. National

Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) to ensure consistent, accurate and defendable

results.

3 Scope of Work

3.1 Consultant Scope of Work

The consultant’s scope of work for this assignment included:

• Review of Contractor submittals and methodology pertaining to the work;

• Inspection of enclosures and precautions prior to the Contractor commencing work;

• Inspection of enclosures, Contractor health and safety precautions and abatement procedures during

work;

• Final visual inspections to verify that the removal and clean-up of asbestos-containing and

contaminated materials has been completed to the appropriate standards;

• Collection of occupied air samples to assess airborne fibre concentrations. Air sampling to be

performed in work areas upon completion; and

• Inspection of waste disposal procedures.

3.2 Contractor Scope of Work

The contractor’s work area and scope of work for this assignment included:

− Removal & disposal of all asbestos-contaminated carpet within both levels of the Nurses Residence;

− Removal & disposal of all asbestos-containing drywall joint compound debris found throughout the Nurses Residence;

− Deep cleaning of all furniture and hard surfaces within spaces of the Nurses Residences;

− Relocation of furniture with fabric elements (following cleaning procedures) into a containment area in each room; and

− Seal all openings identified on walls and ceilings throughout the Nurses Residence.

4 Methodology & Approach

Upon arrival to site COLE reviewed and revised the contractor’s workplan with respect to the scope of

work. The contractor’s team comprised of an eight (8) worker team plus a supervisor. The work was

addressed in two (2) separate shifts per day (7AM – 4pm & 5pm – 2AM) and the actual clean-up

commenced on the second level of the building. Work certificates for all team members have been verified

by COLE. Refer to Appendix A for copies of the certificates.



The approved methodology and approach to carry out the work comprised of the following sequential

tasks:

1. Dispose of any bulk pieces of drywall with asbestos-containing drywall joint compound found in

the room into a suitable container that is dust-tight, impervious to asbestos (6-mil polyethylene

bags), properly marked that it contains asbestos waste and double bagged, with the outer bag

being clear.

2. Vacuum carpet using a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) vacuum followed by cutting and

removing the carpet flooring in manageable sections. Roll the carpet, with the contaminated

surface on the inside, and contain each roll within two (2) layers of 6-mil thickness high density

polyethylene sheeting.

3. Seal all openings identified in the room using a 6- mil thickness high density polyethylene sheeting.

4. Clean all semi-porous and non-porous surfaces including but not limited to furniture, appliances,

floors, countertops and mirrors utilizing the HEPA sandwich technique. This technique consists of

using a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) vacuum to clean semi-porous and non-porous items,

then damp wiping or wet cleaning the surfaces, and then implementing another round of HEPA

vacuuming to more any leftover contaminants.

5. Pile all furniture with fabric elements (e.g. sofas, mattresses, etc.) in a corner of the room and

construct a containment from floor to ceiling to serve as a barrier wall for avoiding contact with

contaminants. Provide an access window on the enclosure to allow a visual of the items within

the containment.

6. Carry out a final cleanup of the space consisting of vacuuming the subfloor using a high-efficiency

particulate air (HEPA) vacuum and damp wiping or wet cleaning the surfaces.

7. COLE to conduct final visual inspection and MATRO to address deficiencies identified (if any).

8. Once the room is cleared, the door must be closed and sealed with duct tape from the outside to

avoid any cross contamination from other working areas.

9. Repeat tasks 1 to 8 for the next adjacent space.

Prior to executing the above, an access area was first established that provides the contractor (and

consultant) a safe and clean passageway to access the work area of the building. The main entrance of

the building (Room ID 101 & 103) was cleaned and a decontamination unit was erected to allow for

respiratory & personal protective equipment to be worn prior to entering the building. Refer to Appendix

B for location of this decontamination unit.



5 Observation and Results

5.1 Visual Observation

Visual inspections were completed on a regular and frequent basis during clean-up work to observe

worker procedures. Visual inspections during asbestos cleanup work revealed the following in all work

areas:

− Eating, drinking, chewing or smoking was not observed.

− Compressed air was not used to clean up and remove dust from any surface.

− Only persons wearing protective clothing and suitable respiratory protection entered the work

areas.

− Water containing a wetting agent was used to control the spread of dust.

− Asbestos materials scheduled for removal was wetted to reduce dust levels.

− All waste was double bagged, and independently sealed, prior to leaving the work site.

While conducting the current work, a previously unidentified but highly presumed friable asbestos-

containing material was noted to be present on the first-floor level stairwell landings. A total of two (2)

aluminized asbestos paper used as reflective heat shielding inside ceiling-mounted light fixtures were

identified to be in good condition. Refer to Appendix B for location of this asbestos-containing material.

5.2 Asbestos Waste Disposal Intelligence

All asbestos contaminated and asbestos-containing waste adhered with the requirements for the

packaging and transportation of asbestos as outlined in O. Reg. 347.

A 30’ yard roll-off container was used for the current asbestos waste clean-up program which was

equipped with two (2) liners to contain the waste. The first, a drawstring type liner, was used to contain

the asbestos-contaminated carpet rolls. Following placement of the carpet rolls, the second liner was used

atop of the carpet rolls, to contain the double bagged asbestos debris waste. Upon completion of this task

the draw string on the initial liner was closed and any excess slack was duct taped shut. The container

was identified to have a poster communicating the hazards with the container.

The Hidden Lake Landfill site located on the left-hand side of Highway 642, approximately 9 km east from

the intersection of Highway 642 and Highway 516, was used to dispose of the hazardous materials.

Following consultations with the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (Drinking Water

and Environmental Compliance Division) serving the Kenora and Thunder Bay District (which includes

Sioux Lookout), it was verified that the Sioux Lookout Hidden Lake Landfill is authorized to accept asbestos

waste. The preparations the landfill site must comply with, as stipulated in O. Reg. 347 Section 17, was

confirmed by COLE during a site visit to the landfill grounds. A total of 2080 kg asbestos waste was

recorded to have been disposed of as part of this clean-up program. Refer to Appendix E for a copy of the

waste transfer record.

The below list of compliant items was identified and verified by COLE on site:



1. The Hidden Lake Landfill site was noted to be equipped with a commercial vehicle scale to

measure the asbestos waste contained within the approved liner.

2. An excavated pit with suitable dimensions of 7’ (width), 25’ (length) and 10’ (depth) was noted

on the northeast section of the landfill site to receive the asbestos waste. Refer to Figure 1 below

for the location of the excavated pit.

3. The excavated pit was supervised by landfill site technicians and cordoned off with barricades to

prevent visitors from getting into the area to dispose of their household waste.

4. The container truck transporting the asbestos waste was provided with sufficient maneuvering

space to dump directly at the location of the pit excavated for the placement of the asbestos

waste.

5. During backfilling activities of the excavated pit, visitor access to the site was momentarily

prevented, and the equipment operator performed the task gently to avoid any potential

disturbance.

COLE was present for this entire process to ensure proper disposal management of the asbestos waste.

Refer to Appendix D for a series of site photographs highlighting the disposal process.

Figure 1 – Hidden Lake Landfill Site

5.3 Air Monitoring Results

Air monitoring completed after the completion of clean-up activities indicates that airborne fibre

concentrations are within acceptable levels. The air monitoring results are listed in the table below. Refer

to Appendix B, C & D for a collection of supporting documents to support the air monitoring event.



A total of sixteen (16) air samples were collected within the building, to assess airborne fibre concentrations. The concentration of 0.04 f/cc is deemed to be an appropriate standard to use for the interpretation of analytical results.

6 Recommendations and Conclusions

Based on observations and analytical results, COLE presents the following conclusions and recommendations:

1. Analytical results for all PCM air samples collected are 0.04 f/cc or less.

2. Based upon the above findings and in comparison, to the asbestos exposure criteria noted

above, the airborne fibre concentrations are within acceptable limits. The building is safe for

occupancy.

It should be noted that asbestos-containing materials remain present within the Nurses Building. All planned and upcoming site visits to the Nurses Residence must be aware of the presence, locations and conditions of the confirmed and assumed asbestos-containing materials. All requirements, as prescribed in O. Reg. 278/05, are to be complied with including the incorporation of appropriate precautionary measures if handling and/or disturbing identified asbestos-containing materials. For an understanding of the remaining asbestos-containing materials refer to COLE’s Designated Substances and Hazardous Materials Survey report (December 2019).

In addition to the asbestos-containing materials present on site, and for consideration during tendering stages, COLE recommends that allowances to the following are communicated:

1. Removal of asbestos-contaminated items such as (but not limited to) hard surfaces, curtains, linens and other furniture.

2. Clean interior demolition in order to access work areas scheduled for asbestos abatement.

The contractor, in consultation with the Client, are to determine the number of items scheduled for removal during a pre-bidding scheduled site meeting.
