"<p><span xss=removed><strong>EXECUTIVE SUMMARY<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span>6639 Colborne Avenue, Burnaby, is a single-family home constructed in 1968 that is set to undergo restoration<br>work. Plans involve the removal of select drywall, cove base, ceramic tile, and sheet vinyl flooring from the<br>laundry\/mech, storage, bathroom, kitchen, living room, and bedroom.<br>The drywall joint compound sampled from the restoration area has tested positive for 1% Chrysotile asbestos. The<br>ceramic tile grout and cove base have tested negative for asbestos but adhere to the asbestos-containing drywall<br>substrate. Due to the difficulty in separating adhered materials, ceramic tile grout and cove base in the bathroom,<br>kitchen, living room, and bedroom must be included in the abatement. The laundry\/mech and storage room are<br>finished in wood panelling, which is not suspected to contain asbestos, and the cove base in these rooms may be<br>removed as clean waste. The sheet vinyl flooring sampled from the bathroom tested positive for 60% Chrysotile<br>asbestos. Fibreglass paperbacking was sampled from the wall cavity and has tested negative for asbestos. If new<br>materials that are not referenced in this report are uncovered or if the scope of work expands to include other areas<br>or materials, they must be handled as a potential source of asbestos until further testing and consultation suggest<br>otherwise.<br>In addition to asbestos sampling, lead testing was performed on interior paint and glazing applications to be<br>impacted. Moderate lead concentrations were detected in the paint and tile glazing applications. The contractor is<br>advised to review the WorkSafe BC Practices for Handling Lead to determine appropriate removal and disposal<br>methods of lead-containing products.<\/span><\/p>"
