"<p><strong>EXECUTIVE SUMMARY<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>6639 Colborne Avenue, Burnaby, is a single-family home constructed in 1968 that is set to undergo restoration\u00a0work. Plans involve the removal of select drywall, cove base, ceramic tile, and sheet vinyl flooring from the\u00a0laundry\/mech, storage, bathroom, kitchen, living room, and bedroom.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>The drywall joint compound sampled from the restoration area has tested positive for 1% Chrysotile asbestos. The ceramic tile grout and cove base have tested negative for asbestos but adhere to the asbestos-containing drywall substrate. Due to the difficulty in separating adhered materials, ceramic tile grout and cove base in the bathroom, kitchen, living room, and bedroom must be included in the abatement. The laundry\/mech and storage room are finished in wood panelling, which is not suspected to contain asbestos, and the cove base in these rooms may be removed as clean waste. The sheet vinyl flooring sampled from the bathroom tested positive for 60% Chrysotile asbestos. Fibreglass paper backing was sampled from the wall cavity and has tested negative for asbestos. If new materials that are not referenced in this report are uncovered or if the scope of work expands to include other areas or materials, they must be handled as a potential source of asbestos until further testing and consultation suggest otherwise.<\/p>\r\n<p>In addition to asbestos sampling, lead testing was performed on interior paint and glazing applications to be\u00a0impacted. Moderate lead concentrations were detected in the paint and tile glazing applications. The contractor is\u00a0advised to review the WorkSafe BC Practices for Handling Lead to determine appropriate removal and disposal\u00a0methods of lead-containing products.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong><\/strong><\/p>"
