ATRUE COPY CERTIFICATION ON LAST PAGE J.R. SMITH, CLERK Page 3 The Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA)'s Model Accreditation Plan (MAP) requires that asbestos professionals (including any worker, contractor or supervisor, inspector, management planner, or project designer) working with asbestos -containing building materials in a school, public or commercial building be accredited under a training program at least as stringent as the EPA Model Accreditation Plan (MAP). In addition, state and local agencies may have more stringent standards than those required by the federal government. Congress passed the Residential Lead -Based Paint (LBP) Hazard Reduction Act of 1992, also known as Title X, to protect families from exposure to lead from paint, dust, and soil. Section 1018 of this law directed HUD and EPA to require the disclosure of known information on lead-based paint and lead- based paint hazards before the sale or lease of most housing built before 1978. The United States' Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) banned lead paint in 1977 in residential properties and public buildings (16 Code of Federal Regulations 1303). Non-residential Structures - Waste Determination & Management LBP debris that comes from commercial or industrial sources, as opposed to households, may be subject to state and federal hazardous waste rules. In this case the generator must determine whether the debris fails, or is likely to fail, the toxicity characteristic for lead. Two scenarios are outlined below for making the waste determination and then managing the LBP debris in accordance with applicable standards: 1) whole -building demolition, and 2) renovation/abatement. Whole -Building Demolition The US EPA has stated that solid architectural components coated with LBP are less likely to be hazardous because of the small ratio of lead paint to total waste mass 1. The US Army conducted a study which concluded that whole -building demolition debris is not likely to exceed the toxicity characteristic standard for lead if it is handled as a single, whole waste stream and disposed of all together 2. Whole - building demolition debris is therefore considered a non -hazardous waste with regard to lead. No sampling/analysis of painted components for lead is required for disposal as non -hazardous waste. Proposed in January of 2006 to "reduce exposure to lead hazards created by renovation, repair, and painting activities that disturb lead-based paint and support the Federal Government's goal of eliminating childhood lead poisoning by 2010", the current regulations took effect on April 22, 2010. The rule requires that property owners, managers and contractors performing renovation, repair and painting activities that will disturb lead-based paint in pre -1978 housing or a child -occupied facility must be certified and follow the lead -safe work practices required by EPA's Lead, Renovation, Repair and Painting Program. To become certified, there must be an "application for firm certification" and payment of a fee to the EPA. An application must be approved or disapproved within 90 days after the EPA receives a complete application. There is the potential of $37,500 -a -day fines for violation. The site inspection was performed by walking the parcel boundary and accessible areas around and outside the property. In addition, observations were made of adjacent properties looking for RECs. The site reconnaissance was performed on October 5, 2021 by Gary Exner of Advantage Consulting LLC. This ESA Phase I report incorporates the EDR/FirstSearch Technology Corporation's Environmental FirstSearch Report to locate available regulatory agency (FDEP/USEPA) information pertaining to hazardous/petroleum materials (see Appendix III).
