EXHIBIT C
INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS — PUBLIC WORKS AND CONSTRUCTION
1. Provision of Insurance. Without limiting Contractor's indemnification of City, and
prior to commencement of Work, Contractor shall obtain, provide and maintain at
its own expense during the term of this Contract, policies of insurance of the type
and amounts described below and in a form satisfactory to City. Contractor agrees
to provide insurance in accordance with requirements set forth here. If Contractor
uses existing coverage to comply and that coverage does not meet these
requirements, Contractor agrees to amend, supplement or endorse the existing
coverage.
2. Acceptable Insurers. All insurance policies shall be issued by an insurance
company currently authorized by the Insurance Commissioner to transact
business of insurance in the State of California, with an assigned policyholders'
Rating of A- (or higher) and Financial Size Category Class VII (or larger) in
accordance with the latest edition of Best's Key Rating Guide, unless otherwise
approved by the City's Risk Manager.
3. Coverage Requirements.
A. Workers' Compensation Insurance. Contractor shall maintain Workers'
Compensation Insurance providing statutory benefits and Employer's
Liability Insurance with limits of at least one million dollars ($1,000,000)
each employee for bodily injury by accident and each employee for bodily
injury by disease in accordance with the laws of the State of California,
Section 3700 of the Labor Code. In addition, Contractor shall require each
subcontractor to similarly maintain Workers' Compensation Insurance and
Employer's Liability Insurance in accordance with California law for all of the
subcontractor's employees. The insurer issuing the Workers'
Compensation insurance shall amend its policy by endorsement to waive
all rights of subrogation against City, its elected or appointed officers,
agents, officials, employees and volunteers. Contractor shall submit to City,
along with the certificate of insurance, a Waiver of Subrogation
endorsement in favor of City, its elected or appointed officers, agents,
officials, employees and volunteers.
B. General Liability Insurance. Contractor shall maintain commercial general
liability insurance, and if necessary umbrella liability insurance, with
coverage at least as broad as provided by Insurance Services Office form

million dollars ($2,000,000) completed operations aggregate. The policy
shall cover liability arising from premises, operations, products -completed

contract).
C. Automobile Liability Insurance. Contractor shall maintain automobile

covering bodily injury and property damage for all activities of Contractor
arising out of or in connection with Work to be performed under this
Contract, including coverage for any owned, hired, non -owned or rented
vehicles, in an amount not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000)
combined single limit for each accident.
D. Builder's Risk Insurance. For Contracts with property exposures during
construction, Contractor shall maintain Builders Risk insurance or an
installation floater as directed by City, covering damages to the Work for "all
risk" or special causes of loss form with limits equal to 100% of the
completed value of contract, with coverage to continue until final
acceptance of the Work by City. At the discretion of City, the requirement
for such coverage may include additional protection for Earthquake and/or
Flood. City shall be included as an insured on such policy, and Contractor
shall provide City with a copy of the policy.
4. Other Insurance Requirements. The policies are to contain, or be endorsed to
contain, the following provisions:
A. Waiver of Subrogation. All insurance coverage maintained or procured
pursuant to this Contract shall be endorsed to waive subrogation against
City, its elected or appointed officers, agents, officials, employees and
volunteers or shall specifically allow Contractor or others providing
insurance evidence in compliance with these requirements to waive their
right of recovery prior to a loss. Contractor hereby waives its own right of
recovery against City, and shall require similar written express waivers and
insurance clauses from each of its subcontractors.
B. Additional Insured Status. All liability policies including general liability,
products and completed operations, excess liability, pollution liability, and
automobile liability, if required, shall provide or be endorsed to provide that
City, its elected or appointed officers, agents, officials, employees and
volunteers shall be included as additional insureds under such policies.
C. Primary and Non Contributory. Contractor's insurance coverage shall be
primary insurance and/or the primary source of recovery with respect to
City, its elected or appointed officers, agents, officials, employees and
volunteers. Any insurance or self-insurance maintained by City shall be
excess of Contractor's insurance and shall not contribute with it.
D. Notice of Cancellation. All policies shall provide City with thirty (30)
calendar days' notice of cancellation or nonrenewal of coverage (except for
Houalla Enterprises Ltd. Page C-2
nonpayment for which ten (10) calendar days' notice is required) for each
required coverage except Builders Risk Insurance, which shall contain an
endorsement with said required notices.
5. Additional Agreements Between the Parties. The parties hereby agree to the
following:
A. Evidence of Insurance. Contractor shall provide certificates of insurance to
City as evidence of the insurance coverage required herein, along with a
waiver of subrogation endorsement for workers' compensation and other
endorsements as specified herein for each coverage. All of the executed
documents referenced in this Contract must be returned to City within ten
(10) regular City business days after the date on the "Notification of Award"
Insurance certificates and endorsements must be approved by City's Risk
Manager prior to commencement of performance. Current certification of
insurance shall be kept on file with City at all times during the term of this
Contract. City reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all
required insurance policies, at any time.
B. City's Right to Revise Requirements. The City reserves the right at any time
during the term of the Contract to change the amounts and types of
insurance required by giving Contractor ninety (90) calendar days' advance
written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial
additional cost to Contractor, City and Contractor may renegotiate
Contractor's compensation.
C. Right to Review Subcontracts. Contractor agrees that upon request, all
agreements with subcontractors or others with whom Contractor enters into
contracts with on behalf of City will be submitted to City for review. Failure
of City to request copies of such agreements will not impose any liability on
City, or its employees. Contractor shall require and verify that all
subcontractors maintain insurance meeting all the requirements stated
herein, and Contractor shall ensure that City is an additional insured on
insurance required from subcontractors. For CGL coverage,
subcontractors shall provide coverage with a format at least as broad as CG
20 38 04 13.
D. Enforcement of Contract Provisions. Contractor acknowledges and agrees
that any actual or alleged failure on the part of City to inform Contractor of
non-compliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligations on
City nor does it waive any rights hereunder.
E. Requirements not Limiting. Requirements of specific coverage features or
limits contained in this Exhibit A are not intended as a limitation on
coverage, limits or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally
provided by any insurance. Specific reference to a given coverage feature
is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not
Houalla Enterprises Ltd. Page C-3
intended by any party or insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of
other coverage, or a waiver of any type. If the Contractor maintains higher
limits than the minimums shown above, the City requires and shall be
entitled to coverage for higher limits maintained by the Contractor. Any
available proceeds in excess of specified minimum limits of insurance and
coverage shall be available to the City.
F. Self -Insured Retentions. Contractor agrees not to self -insure or to use any
self-insured retentions on any portion of the insurance required herein and
further agrees that it will not allow any indemnifying party to self -insure its
obligations to City. If Contractor's existing coverage includes a self-insured
retention, the self-insured retention must be declared to City. City may
review options with Contractor, which may include reduction or elimination
of the self-insured retention, substitution of other coverage, or other
solutions. Contractor agrees to be responsible for payment of any
deductibles on their policies.
G. City Remedies for Non Compliance. If Contractor or any subcontractor fails
to provide and maintain insurance as required herein, then City shall have
the right but not the obligation, to purchase such insurance, to terminate this
Contract, or to suspend Contractor's right to proceed until proper evidence
of insurance is provided. Any amounts paid by City shall, at City's sole
option, be deducted from amounts payable to Contractor or reimbursed by
Contractor upon demand.
H. Timely Notice of Claims. Contractor shall give City prompt and timely notice
of claims made or suits instituted that arise out of or result from Contractor's
performance under this Contract, and that involve or may involve coverage
under any of the required liability policies. City assumes no obligation or
liability by such notice, but has the right (but not the duty) to monitor the
handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve City.
Coverage not Limited. All insurance coverage and limits provided by
Contractor and available or applicable to this Contract are intended to apply
to the full extent of the policies. Nothing contained in this Contract or any
other agreement relating to City or its operations limits the application of
such insurance coverage.
J. Coverage Renewal. Contractor will renew the coverage required here
annually as long as Contractor continues to provide any Work under this or
any other Contract or agreement with City. Contractor shall provide proof
that policies of insurance required herein expiring during the term of this
Contract have been renewed or replaced with other policies providing at
least the same coverage. Proof that such coverage has been ordered shall
be submitted prior to expiration. A coverage binder or letter from
Contractor's insurance agent to this effect is acceptable. A certificate of
insurance and/or additional insured endorsement as required in these
Houalla Enterprises Ltd. Page C-4
specifications applicable to the renewing or new coverage must be provided
to City with five (5) calendar days of the expiration of the coverages.

STK Architecture, Inc. July 2016
D. Protect above and below grade utilities which are to remain.
E. Protect bench marks, existing structures, sidewalks, paving and curbs from excavation
equipment and vehicular traffic.
3.03 CLEARING AND GRUBBING
A. All building, slab and pavement areas and all surfaces to receive compacted fill should be
cleared of existing undocumented fill, loose soil, vegetation, debris, and other unsuitable
materials. We recommend a minimum overexcavation of at least 24 inches to provide
assurance of processing loose and disturbed soils. All existing undocumented fill should be
removed. .
B. Abandoned underground utility lines should be traced out and completely removed from the site.
Each end of the abandoned utility line should be securely capped at the entrance and exit to the
site to prevent any water from entering the site. Soils loosened due to the removal of trees
should be removed and replaced as controlled compacted fill under the direction of the
geotechnical engineer.
3.04 PREPARATION OF BUILDING AREA
A. The proposed fire station building area should be over -excavated to the depth necessary to
provide at least 24 inches of compacted fill below footing bottoms, or to a depth equal to the
footing width, whichever is deeper. The over -excavated area should extend outside of the
exterior footing lines for a distance of at least five feet, where possible. Following
over -excavation the surface should be prepared as recommended below in the following
section, Preparation of Surfaces to Receive Compacted Fill.
3.05 PREPARATION OF SURFACES TO RECEIVE COMPACTED FILL
A. All surfaces to receive compacted fill should be subjected to compaction testing prior to
processing. Testing should indicate a relative compaction of at least 85 percent within the
unprocessed native soils. If roots or other deleterious materials are encountered or if the relative
compaction fails to meet the acceptance criterion, additional over -excavation will be required
until satisfactory conditions are encountered. Upon approval, surfaces to receive fill should be
scarified, brought to near optimum moisture content, and compacted to a minimum of 90
percent relative compaction.
3.06 PLACEMENT OF COMPACTED FILL
A. Fill materials consisting of on-site soils or approved imported granular soils should be spread in
shallow lifts and compacted at near optimum moisture content to a minimum of 90 percent
relative compaction. Depending on weather conditions preceding construction, the soils may be
at very high moisture contents and could require drying back or processing to achieve stability
prior to and during fill placement. This should be investigated by the grading contractor prior to
the commencement of site grading.
3.07 PREPARATION OF SLAB AND PAVING AREAS
A. All surfaces to receive asphalt concrete paving or concrete slabs -on -grade should be processed
and tested to assure compaction for a depth of at least of 12 inches. This may be accomplished
by a combination of over -excavation, scarification and recompaction of the surface, and
replacement of the excavated material as controlled compacted fill. Compaction of the slab
areas should be to a minimum of 90 percent relative compaction. Compaction within the
proposed pavement areas should be to a minimum of 95 percent relative compaction for both
the subgrade and base course.
3.08 UTILITY TRENCH BACKFILL
A. It is our opinion that utility trench backfill consisting of the on-site soil types should be placed by
mechanical compaction to a minimum of 90 percent relative compaction. This is with the
exception of the upper 12 inches under pavement areas where the minimum relative
compaction should be 95 percent. Jetting of the native soils is not recommended.

STK Architecture, Inc.
3.09 TESTING AND OBSERVATION
July 2016
A. During grading, tests and observations shall be performed by the Geotechnical Engineer or this
representative in order to verify that the grading is being performed in accordance with the
project specifications. The minimum acceptable degree of compaction shall be 90 percent of
the maximum dry density as obtained by the ASTM D1557 test method. Where testing
indicates insufficient density, additional compactive effort shall be applied until retesting
indicates satisfactory compaction.
B. Testing will be also conducted to verify that the soils will not subject concrete to sulfate attack
and are not corrosive. Testing of any proposed import will be necessary prior to placement on
the site. Testing of on-site soils may be done on either a selective or random basis as site
conditions indicate.
C. If tests indicate work does not meet specified requirements, remove work, replace and retest at
no cost to Owner.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The subject site is located at 1348 Irvine Avenue in the City of Newport Beach,
California. The site rests southwest of and adjacent to the intersection of Irvine Avenue
and Dover Drive in the City of Newport Beach, California. The site is located in a mixed
use area of Newport Beach. The fire station site encompasses approximately 0.34
acres and is bounded on the northwest by Irvine Avenue, northeast by Dover Drive, and
southwest by tennis courts, handball courts and other recreational facilities associated
with the adjacent Mariners Park. The location of Fire Station No. 6 is shown on Figure
1 below.
Figure 1: U.S.G.S. Topographic Map, Newport Beach 7.5' Quadrangle, and Google Earth Aerial Image (2014)
The site is currently occupied with the fire station, apparatus bay, site pavement (concrete),
and landscaping. The topography may be described as relatively planar. The ground
surface elevation in the vicinity of the proposed building site is approximately 82 feet above
mean sea level.
The proposed project will consist of demolition and replacement of the existing
apparatus bay. The new apparutus bay will be designed as a separate structure. We
anticipate the building will be of steel -frame construction and the foundation for the new
structure will consist of shallow spread and continuous footings with concrete slab -on -
grade floors. New pavement and landscaping areas are also planned. We have not

will not exceed 20 kips.
Grading is expected to consist of preparation of the building pad area for the proposed
structure as well as pavement and landscape areas. We assume that rough cuts and
fills on the order of 2 feet or less will be required to achieve final site grades (not
including any remedial over -excavation).
The engineering geology and seismicity review has been prepared utilizing the
suggested "Checklist for the Review of Geologic/Seismic Reports for California Public
Schools, Hospitals and Essential Services Buildings" (California Geologic Survey, Note
No. 48, 2013). The scope of services provided for this evaluation included:
■ Review of available published and unpublished geologic and geotechnical data in
our files pertinent to the site, including photogeologic analysis of aerial photographs;
• Geologic field reconnaissance of the site and adjacent areas by a State of California
Certified Engineering Geologist;
• Preparation of this report presenting our findings, conclusions and recommenda-
tions, from an engineering geologic standpoint.
GEOLOGIC SETTING
Regional Geology: The subject site is situated within a natural geomorphic province in
southwestern California known as the Peninsular Ranges. It is characterized by steep,
elongated ranges and valleys that trend northwesterly. The City of Newport Beach is
located in the northern part of the Peninsular Ranges Province. The Peninsular
Ranges extend into lower California and are bound on the east by the Colorado Desert.
The Los Angeles Basin and the island group (Santa Catalina, Santa Barbara, and the
distinctly terraced San Clemente and San Nicolas islands), together with the
surrounding continental shelf (cut by deep submarine fault troughs), are included in this
province (CGS, 2002).
More specifically, the site is situated on Newport Mesa, which lies on the southerly
portion of the Central Block of the Los Angeles Basin. The present-day Los Angeles
physiographic basin of coastal southern California is an alluviated lowland, sometimes
called the "coastal plain", which is bounded on the north by the Santa Monica
Mountains and the Elysian, Repetto, and Puente Hills and on the east and southeast by
Geotechnical Report —Fire Station 46 Apparatus Bay
Project No. 5168-171, July 2015 3 of 28 Inland Foundation Engineering, Inc.
the Santa Ana Mountains and San Joaquin Hills. The lowland surface slopes gently
south or seaward, but it is interrupted by the Coyote Hills near the northeast margin, by
a line of elongated low hills and mesas to the south and west that extends from
Newport Bay northwest to Beverly Hills, and by the Palos Verdes peninsula at the
southwest extremity (Yerkes, et al., 1965).
Local Geology: Locally, as mapped by Morton (2009), the site is shown to be mantled
by middle to early Pleistocene -age paralic deposits (map symbol Qvop) generally
described as consisting of mostly sorted, moderately permeable, reddish -brown,
interfingered strandline, beach, estuarine and colluvial deposits of silt, sand, and
cobbles.

Groundwater: The Coastal Plain of Orange County Groundwater Basin (Orange
County Basin) underlies a coastal alluvial plain in the northwestern portion of Orange
County. The basin is bounded by consolidated rocks exposed on the north in the
Puente and Chino Hills, on the east in the Santa Ana Mountains, and on the south in
the San Joaquin Hills. The basin is bounded by the Pacific Ocean on the southwest
and by a low topographic divide approximated by the Orange County - Los Angeles
County line on the northwest (DWR, 2004).
The project site lies within the Orange Groundwater Management Zone of the East
Coastal Plain Hydrologic Subarea of the Lower Santa Ana River Hydrologic area of the
Santa Ana River Hydrologic Unit (Regional Water Quality Control Board — Santa Ana
Region (RWQCB-SA, 2008). Groundwater within the Orange Groundwater
Management Zone is designated for existing or potential municipal, agricultural, and
industrial service and process supply uses (RWQCB-SA, 2008).
Apparent perched groundwater was encountered within our exploratory borings B-01
and B-02 at a depth of approximately 9.5 feet. Perched groundwater levels were
reported for the neighboring site to the southwest in 2002, at depths of 11 and 13 feet
(GSI, 2002).
A map entitled "June 2014 Groundwater Elevation Contours for the Principal Aquifer",
prepared by the Orange County Water District presents mapped groundwater
elevations for the principal aquifer in the vicinity of the site. Extrapolation of the
groundwater elevation contours suggests that the elevation of the principal groundwater
table is approximately -30 feet msl. Given that the ground elevation of the site is
approximately 81 feet above msl, the elevation to the surface of the principal aquifer is
estimated to be greater than 100 feet beneath the existing ground surface. Figure No.
3 presents a portion of the referenced groundwater elevation contour map.

Surface Water: No indications of surface water (ponding, drainage, etc.) were
observed on the site during the time of this study. A review of the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM), Map No.

Oil and Gas Wells: According to the State of California Division of Oil, Gas &
Geothermal Resources (2015), there are no records of any historical wells on the
subject site. Three nearby historic wells, located approximately 500' to 1000' from the
project site were identified. Data for the wells located to the north and south of the site
indicate that these wells are plugged and inactive. Well data for the mapped well to the
west of the site indicate that this well was drilled in 1905. A representative from the
Division of Oil, Gas & Geothermal Resources searched for this well on August 3, 1977
and could not locate it. Figure 5 presents a portion of the map generated by the
California Division of Oil, Gas & Geothermal Resources Well Finder application,
depicting the mapped locations of the referenced wells.

Faulting: There are at least 30 major late Quaternary active/potentially active faults
that are within a 100 -kilometer radius of the site (Blake, 2000). Of these, there are no
faults known to traverse the site, based on published literature, nor was there any
photogeologic or surficial geomorphic evidence suggestive of faulting on the site. In
addition, the site is not located within a State of California "Alquist-Priolo Earthquake
Fault Zone" for fault rupture hazard (Hart and Bryant, 2007).
The closest portion of the Newport -Inglewood fault zone is located approximately 2.5
miles southwest of the site. This fault is expected to be capable of generating a 7.1
magnitude earthquake. The Newport -Inglewood fault zone extends approximately 45
miles from the southern edge of the Santa Monica Mountains, through Long Beach and
Torrance, southeast to Newport Bay, where it continues offshore to merge with the

Rose Canyon Fault (Grant and Shearer, 2004). The total length of the combined
Newport -Inglewood fault zone and Rose Canyon fault is approximately 130 miles
(Treiman and Lundberg, 1999). The Newport -Inglewood fault zone is a nearly vertical
right -lateral strike -slip fault zone at depth. At the surface, the fault zone is a series of
discontinuous, left -stepping, en echelon fault segments that define a zone of
deformation that extends from Los Angeles through Long Beach to Newport Beach
(Ziony and Yerkes, 1985). The Newport -Inglewood fault zone was the source of the
1933 magnitude 6.4 Long Beach Earthquake (SCEC, 2004).

photographs dating from 1953 to 2015 (see References for a listing) to aid in assessing
the geologic and geomorphic characteristics with respect to the site and vicinity. The
photogeologic analysis did not reveal indicators suggestive of active fault -related
features. This included the lack of photolineations and/or no consistent tonal variations
across the site, or trending toward the site.
Our review indicates that no documented active faults traverse toward the subject site,
based on published literature. No surficial indications or geomorphic features were
observed within the aerial photographs or field reconnaissance that are suggestive of
active faulting.
Historic Seismic Activity: A computerized search, based on southern California
historical earthquake catalogs, has been performed using the computer program
EQSEARCH developed by Blake (1989) and EPI (Reeder, 1997). The following table
and discussion summarizes the historic seismic events (>>-M4.0) that have been
estimated and/or recorded during from 1800 to June 2015, within a 100 kilometer (62
mile) radius of the site.

It should be noted that pre -instrumental seismic events (generally before 1932) have
been estimated from isoseismal maps (Toppozada, et al., 1981 and 1982). These data
have been compiled generally based on the reported intensities throughout the region,
thus focusing in on the most likely epicentral location. Instrumentation since 1932 has
greatly increased the accuracy of locating earthquake epicenters. A summary of the
historic earthquake data is as follows:
❑ The nearest estimated significant historic earthquake epicenter (pre -1932) was
approximately 21 miles northeast of the site (April 22, 1918, M5.0).
❑ The nearest recorded significant historic earthquake epicenter was the Long Beach
Earthquake M6.3 event of March 11, 1933, located approximately four miles
southwest of the site.
Geolechnical Report — Fire Slation -6 :I ppara(us Bar
Proiecr Ab, S168-171..ndy 2015 10 of 28 Inland Foundation Engineering, Inc.
❑ The largest estimated historical earthquake magnitude (pre -1932) was the
December 8, 1812, M6.9 event, approximately 53 miles to the northeast.
❑ The largest recorded historical earthquake magnitude was the M6.7 Northridge
event that occurred on January 17, 1994, located approximately 55 miles to the
northwest.
❑ The largest estimated ground acceleration estimated to have been experienced at
the site was 0.379 which resulted from the Long Beach M6.3 event of March 11,
1933, located approximately four miles southwest of the site.
Seismic Parameters: The site coordinates (WGS 84) are 33.6334°N / -117.9030°W.
On the bases of the subsurface conditions and local fault characteristics, the 2013
California Building Code (CBC) provides the following seismic design parameters as
presented in Table 3.

requirements are designed to remain standing after an earthquake in order for
occupants to safely evacuate, but then may have to ultimately be demolished (Larson
and Slosson, 1992).
It is the responsibility of both the property owner and project structural engineer to
determine the risk factors with respect to using CBC minimum design values for the
subject project. The previously -outlined CBC seismic classifications and data have
been provided for use by the project structural engineer, to aid in evaluating design cri-
teria, if needed. This information should be used to help select the appropriate seismic
parameters, as outlined in the California Building Code (CBC, 2013). In addition, a site-
specific seismic shear -wave study could also be performed to properly evaluate the soil
profile type for site classification and seismic design purposes.
Secondary Seismic Hazards: Therip mary geologic hazard affecting the project is that
of ground shaking. Secondary permanent or transient seismic hazards generally
associated with severe ground shaking during an earthquake include, but are not
necessarily limited to; ground rupture, liquefaction, seiches or tsunamis, landsliding,
rockfalls, and seismically -induced settlement. These are discussed below:
Ground Rupture: Ground rupture is generally considered most likely to occur
along pre-existing faults. Since there are no faults that are known to traverse the
site, the potential for ground rupture is considered to be low.
Liquefaction and Seismically -Induced Settlement: In general, liquefaction is a
phenomenon that occurs where there is a loss of strength or stiffness in the soils
that can result in the settlement of buildings, ground failures, or other hazards.
The main factors contributing to this phenomenon are: 1) cohesionless, granular
soils having relatively low densities (usually of Holocene age); 2) shallow ground
water (generally less than 50 feet); and 3) moderate to high seismic ground
shaking.
According to the City of Newport Beach General Plan (2006), the project site is
not located in a mapped area with liquefaction potential. Due to the presence of
the shallow groundwater and relatively loose granular soils encountered during
our exploration, the effects of soil liquefaction during a seismic event were
analyzed. The results of our analysis indicate that the soil encountered in Boring
B-2 between depths of 18 and 21 feet may liquefy during the design seismic
event. However, using Ishihara's criteria (1985), the liquefiable layer is
sufficiently thin and deep that the potential for liquefaction -induced ground
damage is negligible.
Geotechnical Report — Fire Statim, 'h ,lpparalu.r Bay
Rroje,I ko 5163-1 71, h,4, 2015 12 of 28 Inland Foundation Engineering, Inc.
Seismically -induced settlement generally occurs within areas of loose granular
soils and consists both of liquefaction settlement below the water table and dry -
sand settlement above the water table. The analysis for seismically induced
settlement was based upon Tokamatsu and Seed (1984). The seismic
parameters included a horizontal acceleration of 0.682g and a Moment
Magnitude of 7.1. The results indicate negligible potential for seismically induced
settlement. Computer output generated during the analyses are appended.
Exploratory boring B-2 was used as the representative soil profile.
Seiches/Tsunamis: A seiche is a standing wave in an enclosed or partially
enclosed body of water. In order for a seiche to form, the body of water needs to
be at least partially bounded, allowing the formation of the standing wave.
Tsunamis are very large ocean waves that are caused by an underwater earth-
quake or volcanic eruption, often causing extreme destruction when they strike
land.
Figure 7 presents a portion of the Tsunami Inundation Map for Emergency
Planning, Newport Beach Quadrangle (CEMA/CGS, 2009). Based on this
emergency planning map, the project site does not lie within a mapped tsunami
inundation area.

There are no bodies of water on or adjacent to the project site. Based on the
distance to large, open bodies of water and the elevation of the site with respect
to sea level, it is our opinion that the potential of seiches/tsunamis does not
present a hazard to this project.
Landsliding: Due to the relatively low-lying relief of the site and adjacent areas,
the potential for landsliding due to seismic shaking is considered very low.
Rockfalls: Since no large rock outcrops are present at or adjacent to the site, the
possibility of rockfalls during seismic shaking is nil.
Debris Flows: Debris flows are composed of a slurry -like mass of liquefied
debris (ranging up to boulder size) that moves downhill under the force of gravity.
Such slurries are dense enough to support very large particles but not solid
enough to resist flowing downhill. Debris flows are most common in steep
mountain canyons when a mass of mud and debris becomes saturated during a
heavy rainstorm and suddenly begins to flow down the canyons (Prothero &
Schwab, 1996). Based on the location of the site and the relatively planar
topography of the property up -gradient of site, it is our opinion that the hazard of
debris flow should be considered low.
Erosion: No indication of wind or water surface erosion was observed on the site
or adjacent properties at the time of our study. It is our opinion that the hazard of
erosion at this site should be considered low.
Other Geologic Hazards: There are other geologic hazards not necessarily
associated with seismic activity that occur statewide. These hazards include; natural
hazardous materials (methane gas, hydrogen -sulfide gas, tar seeps); Radon -222 Gas;
regional subsidence, and naturally occurring asbestos. Of these hazards, there are
none that appear to impact the site.
SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
The field and laboratory exploration and testing indicate that the site is underlain by
Pleistocene -age paralic deposits consisting of both granular and fine-grained soils.
Soils encountered within our exploratory borings included interbedded fine- to medium -
grained silty sand (SM), fine- to medium -grained sand (SP), clayey sand (SC), fine-
grained clay and sandy clay (CL). In general, the granular soils encountered were
loose to dense, with penetration blow counts (N -values) ranging from 9 to more than 50.
Fine-grained soils were generally firm to very stiff with N -values ranging from 5 to 43.

Distance (ft.)
Laboratory testing indicates that the near surface on-site soils are non -expansive. An
expansion index of 8 was indicated by our laboratory testing on a sample of near
surface soil obtained from a depth of 5.25-8.0 feet. Plasticity indices within the upper
fifteen feet ranged from 1 to 15.
Consolidation testing of the native alluvial soil indicates that it is normal to moderately
over -consolidated. This testing also indicates that the soil is not subject to saturation
collapse.
Analytical testing indicates the concentration of sulfates in the soil is less than 0.1
percent which is considered to be negligible with respect to sulfate attack on concrete.

Chloride concentrations are less than 100 parts per million. The soil is slightly alkaline
with a pH value of 8.4. The saturated resistivity value of more than 2,000 ohm -cm
indicates that the site soils may be moderatley corrosive to buried metal. This should
be addressed by a qualified corrosion engineer for elements of construction that may
be subject to corrosion.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
On the basis of our field and laboratory exploration and testing, it is our opinion that the
proposed construction will be feasible from a geotechnical engineering standpoint.
Existing site soils should be suitable for providing foundation support with appropriate
recompaction, as recommended herein.
Analytical testing indicates sulfate concentrations are very low. Per ACI 318, Table
4.2.1, the soil can be classified as Class SO with respect to sulfate exposure. Chloride
concentrations are also very low. However, saturated resistivity values indicate that the
site soils may be moderately corrosive with respect to buried metal. This should be
addressed by a qualified corrosion engineer for elements of construction that may be
subject to corrosion.
Groundwater was encountered within our exploratory borings at a depth of
approximately 9.5 feet beneath the ground surface. Data suggests that historical high
groundwater elevations are on the order of 8 feet below the existing ground surface.
The following paragraphs present more detailed design criteria which have been
developed on the basis of our field and laboratory exploration and testing.
Foundation Design: Foundations for the proposed apparatus bay may consist of
shallow spread footings with a slab -on -grade floor. For design, we recommend an
allowable soil bearing capacity of 2,500 pounds per square foot. This value may be
increased by 1/3 for short-term transient wind and seismic loads.
Building footings should be supported by compacted fill over suitably dense alluvial
soils. The fill thickness below footings should be at least equal to the footing width, or
24 inches, whichever is greater. Conditions encountered in our exploratory borings
indicate that suitably dense native alluvial soil is present at a depth of approximately
five feet below existing grades.
Static settlement of foundations properly designed and constructed as recommended
herein is expected to be less than one inch total. Differential settlement between
foundations of similar size and load is expected to be less than'/2-inch in 30 feet.
Geotechnical Report — Fire Station 46 Apparatus Bay
Project No. 5168-171, July 2015 16 of 28 Inland Foundation Engineering, Inc.
Lateral Design: Resistance to lateral loads will be provided by a combination of friction
acting at the base of the slab or foundation and passive earth pressure. A coefficient of
friction of 0.40 between soil and concrete may be used with dead load forces only. A
passive earth pressure of 300 pounds per square foot, per foot of depth, may be used
for the sides of footings poured against recompacted or dense native material. These
values may be increased by 1/3 to provide for lateral loads of short duration such as
those caused by wind or seismic forces. Passive earth pressure should be ignored
within the upper one foot except where confined as beneath a floor slab, for example.
Trench Wall Stability: Significant caving did not occur within our exploratory borings.
All excavations should be configured per with the requirements of CalOSHA. We would
classify the soils as Type C, per CalOSHA criteria. The classification of the soil and the
shoring and/or slope configuration should be the responsibility of the contractor on the
basis of the trench depth and the soil encountered. The contractor should have a
"competent person" on-site for the purpose of assuring safety within and about all
construction excavations.
Retaining Walls: Retaining walls may be necessary during construction and/or
landscaping. For on-site soils, the retaining walls should be designed for an active
earth pressure equivalent to that exerted by a fluid weighing not less than 40 pounds
per cubic foot (pcf).
For walls that are restrained, an "at -rest' lateral equivalent fluid pressure of 60 pounds
per cubic foot is recommended, with the resultant applied at mid -height of the wall.
Any applicable construction and seismic surcharges should be added to the above
pressures. Figure 9 presents a typical retaining profile.

At least 12 inches of granular material should be used in the backfill behind the walls
and water pressure should not be permitted to build up behind retaining walls. The
upper 12 to 18 inches of the backfill should consist of soil having a low permeability
(less than 10-6 cm/sec). All backfill should be non -expansive.
A subdrain should be constructed along the base of the backfill. Typical recommended
retaining wall backfill and drainage details are shown in the detail above.
Concrete Slabs -on -Grade: All concrete slabs -on -grade should have a
minimum thickness of four inches. During final grading and prior to the
placement of concrete, all surfaces to receive concrete slabs -on -grade should be
compacted to maintain a minimum compacted fill thickness of 12 inches.
Load bearing slabs may be designed using a modulus of subgrade reaction not
exceeding 125 pounds per square inch per inch.
Slabs that are designed and constructed per the provisions of the American
Concrete Institute (ACI) as a minimum will perform much better and will be more
pleasing in appearance. Shrinkage of concrete should be anticipated. This will
result in cracks in all concrete slabs -on -grade. Shrinkage cracks may be
directed to saw -cut "control joints" spaced on the basis of slab thickness and
reinforcement. ACI typically recommends control joint spacings in unreinforced
concrete at maximum intervals equal to the slab thickness times 24. A level
subgrade is also an important element in achieving some "control" in the
locations of shrinkage cracks. Control joints should be cut immediately following
Geotechnical Report — Fire Station 96 Apparatus Bay
Project No. 5168-171, July 2015 18 of 28 Inland Foundation Engineering, Inc.
the finishing process and prior to the placement of the curing cover or
membrane. Control joints that are cut on the day following the concrete
placement are generally ineffective. The placement of reinforcing steel will help
in reducing crack width and propagation as -well -as providing for an increase in
the control joint spacing. The use of welded wire mesh has typically been
observed to be of limited value due to difficulties and lack of care in maintaining
the level of the steel in the concrete during placement. The addition of water to
the mix to enhance placement and workability frequently results in an excessive
water -cement ratio that weakens the concrete, increases drying times and
results in more cracking due to concrete shrinkage during the initial cure.
It should be assumed that the soils under the slab will likely become saturated
during the life of the structure. Moisture will also be emitted from the concrete
mixture as it cures. Flooring manufacturers may have specific requirements
related to emission rates from concrete that should be achieved prior to the
placement of flooring. Typically, these range from 3 to 5 pounds of water per
1000 square feet per 24-hour period. The emission rates are measured using an
approximate 72 -hour test procedure that we are able to conduct upon request.
The drying time of the concrete may be reduced using a lower water -cement
ratio such as 0.5 or 0.45. The use of fly ash may enhance workability of the mix
and reduce the alkali content within the slab. The use of a chemical membrane
or curing compound may increase the drying time. Other suitable curing
methods are available. The curing method is important in reducing plastic
shrinkage cracking and should not be eliminated to reduce dry times.
Where slabs are to receive moisture sensitive floor coverings, we recommend
the use of a vapor retarder. There are various products manufactured for this
purpose. ASTM currently provides a standard water vapor permeance of 0.3
perms. Such materials would allow up to 18 gallons of water per week in a
50,000 square foot area. Therefore, it should be understood that these materials
are not vapor "barriers". Some flooring applications may require more effective
retarders. Therefore, the selection of the vapor retarder should be based upon
the type of flooring material and is not considered to be a geotechnical
engineering design parameter.
Vapor retarders should have a minimum thickness of 10 -mil unless otherwise
specified. It is possible that the retarders will be exposed to equipment loads
such as ready -mix trucks, buggies, laser screeds, etc. In such cases, the
thickness should be increased to at least 15 -mil. Vapor retarders should be
placed between two 2 -inch thick layers of sand to reduce the potential of
punctures and to aid in the curing process. In lieu of this, the concrete may be
Geotechnical Report — Fire Station 46 Apparatus Bay
Project No. 5168-171, July 2015 19 of 28 Inland Foundation Engineering, Inc.
placed directly upon the vapor retarder but should be designed with
reinforcement to offset additional curling stresses. Seams and holes made for
underground utilities should be properly sealed per the recommendations of the
manufacturer.
The vapor retarder recommended in the preceding paragraphs is a common
method of reducing the migration of moisture through the slab. It will not prevent
all moisture migration through the slab nor will it prohibit the formation of mold or
other moisture related problems. For moisture sensitive floor coverings, an
expert in that field should be consulted to properly design a vapor retarder
suitable for the specific application.
If concrete is to be placed on a dry absorptive subgrade in hot and dry weather,
the subgrade should be dampened but not to a point that there is freestanding
water prior to placement. The formwork and reinforcement should also be
dampened.
Expansive Soils: Results of laboratory tests indicate that near surface soils
have a very low expansion potential according to ASTM criteria. As such, no
special recommendations to mitigate the effects of expansive soils are
necessary.
Concrete Pavement Design: We recommend that all surfaces that will support
fire apparatus be paved with Portland cement concrete (PCC). All surfaces to
receive concrete paving should be underlain by a minimum compacted fill
thickness of 12 inches (excluding aggregate base).
On the basis of an R -value of 12, we recommend a pavement section consisting
of 9 inches of PCC over 12 inches of Class 2 aggregate base. The concrete
should have a minimum 28 -day modulus of rupture of 600 psi. This corresponds
to a compressive strength of approximately 4,500 psi. The Class 2 aggregate
base should comply with current Caltrans requirements. The aggregate base
should be compacted to at least 95 percent relative compaction based on ASTM
D1557. The upper 12 inches of pavement subgrade soil, below the aggregate
base, should also be compacted to a minimum relative compaction of 95
percent.
The above recommendations are based on the assumption that the concrete
pavement will be constructed with doweled joints. We have also assumed that
the concrete pavement will be restrained laterally by concrete curb/gutter or
building foundations and that the edges of the concrete will be protected from
Geotechnical Report - Fire Station 46 Apparatus Bay
Project No. 5168-171. July 2015 20 of 28 Inland Foundation Engineering, Inc.
traffic loads by curbs or paved shoulders. If unrestrained pavement edges or
non -doweled joints are desired, this firm should be contacted so that revised
recommendations can be developed.
Construction joints should be sawcut in the pavement at a maximum spacing of
30 times the thickness of the slab, up to a maximum of 15 feet. Pavement
sawcutting should be performed within 12 hours of concrete placement,
preferably sooner. Sawcut depths should be equal to approximately '% of the
slab thickness for conventional saws or one inch when early -entry saws are
utilized on slabs nine inches thick or less. Construction joints should not be
placed near flow lines. The use of plastic strips for formation of jointing is not
recommended. The use of expansion joints is not recommended, except where
the pavement will adjoin structures.
General Site Grading: All grading should be performed per the applicable
provisions of the 2013 California Building Code. The following specifications
have been developed on the basis of our field and laboratory testing:
1. Clearing and Grubbing: All building, slab and pavement areas and all
surfaces to receive compacted fill should be cleared of existing loose
soil, vegetation, debris, and other unsuitable materials. We recommend
a minimum overexcavation of at least 24 inches to provide assurance of
processing loose and disturbed soils. All existing undocumented fill
should be removed.
Abandoned underground utility lines should be traced out and
completely removed from the site. Each end of the abandoned utility
line should be securely capped at the entrance and exit to the site to
prevent any water from entering the site. Soils loosened due to the
removal of trees should be removed and replaced as controlled
compacted fill under the direction of the geotechnical engineer.
2. Preparation of Building Area: The proposed apparatus bay building
area should be overexcavated to the depth necessary to provide at least
24 inches of compacted fill below footing bottoms, or to a depth equal to
the footing width, whichever is deeper. The overexcavated area should
extend outside of the exterior footing lines for a distance of at least five
feet, where possible. Following over -excavation the surface should be
prepared as recommended below in the following section, Preparation of
Surfaces to Receive Compacted Fill.
Geotechnical Report —Fire Station d6 Apparatus Bay
Project No. 5168-171, July 2015 21 of 28 Inland Foundation Engineering, Inc.
3. Preparation of Surfaces to Receive Compacted Fill: All surfaces to
receive compacted fill should be subjected to compaction testing prior to
processing. Testing should indicate a relative compaction of at least 85
percent within the unprocessed native soils. If roots or other deleterious
materials are encountered or if the relative compaction fails to meet the
acceptance criterion, additional overexcavation will be required until
satisfactory conditions are encountered. Upon approval, surfaces to
receive fill should be scarified, brought to near optimum moisture
content, and compacted to a minimum of 90 percent relative
compaction.
4. Placement of Compacted Fill: Fill materials consisting of on-site soils
or approved imported granular soils should be spread in shallow lifts and
compacted at near optimum moisture content to a minimum of 90
percent relative compaction. Depending on weather conditions
preceding construction, the soils may be at very high moisture contents
and could require drying back or processing to achieve stability prior to
and during fill placement. This should be investigated by the grading
contractor prior to the commencement of site grading.
5. Preparation of Slab and Paving Areas: During final grading and
immediately prior to the placement of concrete or a base course, all
surfaces to receive asphalt concrete paving or concrete slabs -on -grade
should be processed and tested to assure compaction for a depth of at
least of 12 inches. This may be accomplished by a combination of
overexcavation, scarification and recompaction of the surface, and
replacement of the excavated material as controlled compacted fill.
Compaction of the slab areas should be to a minimum of 90 percent
relative compaction. Compaction within the proposed pavement areas
should be to a minimum of 95 percent relative compaction for both the
subgrade and base course.
6. Utility Trench Backfill: It is our opinion that utility trench backfill
consisting of the on-site soil types should be placed by mechanical
compaction to a minimum of 90 percent relative compaction. This is
with the exception of the upper 12 inches under pavement areas where
the minimum relative compaction should be 95 percent. Jetting of the
native soils is not recommended.
7. Testing and Inspection: During grading tests and observations should
be performed by the project geotechnical engineer or his/her
representative to verify that the grading is being performed per the
Geotechnical Report — Fire Station 46 Apparatus Bay
Project No. 5168-171, July 2015 22 of 28 Inland Foundation Engineering, Inc.
project specifications. Field density testing should be performed per the
current ASTM D1556 or ASTM D6938 test methods. The minimum
acceptable degree of compaction should be 90 percent of the maximum
dry density as obtained by the ASTM D1557 test method except where
superseded by more stringent requirements, such as beneath pavement
or in deep fills. Where testing indicates insufficient density, additional
compactive effort should be applied until retesting indicates satisfactory
compaction.
Testing should also be conducted to verify that the soils will not subject
concrete to sulfate attack and are not corrosive. Testing of any
proposed import will be necessary prior to placement on the site.
Testing of on-site soils may be done on either a selective or random
basis as site conditions indicate.
GENERAL
The findings and recommendations presented in this report are based upon an
interpolation of the soil conditions between boring locations. Should conditions be
encountered during grading that appears to be different than those indicated by this
report, this office should be notified.
This report was prepared prior to the preparation of a grading plan for the project. We
recommend that a pre -job conference be held on the site prior to the initiation of site
grading. The purpose of this meeting will be to assure a complete understanding of the
recommendations presented in this report as they apply to the actual grading per-
formed.

APPENDIX A
FIELD EXPLORATION
For our field exploration, two exploratory borings were excavated by means of a truck
mounted rotary auger rig at the approximate locations shown on Figure No. A-5. Logs
of the materials encountered were made on the site by a staff geologist. These are
presented on Figure Nos. A-3 through A-4.
Representative relatively undisturbed samples were obtained within our borings by
driving an 18 -inch long thin-walled steel penetration sampler (SPT) with successive
30 -inch drops of a 140 -pound hammer. The number of blows required to achieve each
six inches of penetration were recorded on our boring logs and used for estimating the
relative consistency of the subsoils. Two different samplers were used. The first
sampler used was a Standard Penetration Test Sampler (SPT) for which published
correlations relating the number of hammer blows to the strength of the soil are
available. The second sampler type was a Modified California split barrel sampler,
which is larger in diameter, carrying brass sample rings having inner diameters of 2.41
inches. Relatively undisturbed samples were removed from the sampler and placed in
moisture sealed containers in order to preserve the natural soil moisture content. They
were then transported to our laboratory for further observations and testing.
Representative bulk samples were obtained and returned to our laboratory for further
testing and observations. The results of this testing are discussed and presented in
Appendix B.

LABORATORY TESTING
Representative bulk soil samples were obtained in the field and returned to our
laboratory for additional observations and testing. Laboratory testing was generally
performed in two phases. The first phase consisted of testing in order to evaluate the
apparent compaction of the existing natural soil and the general engineering
classifications of the soils across the site. This testing was performed in order to
estimate the engineering characteristics of the soil and to serve as a basis for selecting
samples for the second phase of testing. The second phase consisted of soil
mechanics and analytical testing. This testing included direct shear testing,
consolidation testing, expansion testing, and testing to estimate the concentration of
water-soluble sulfate, pH, resistivity and chlorides. These tests were performed in order
to provide a means of developing specific design recommendations based on the
strength and corrosive characteristics of the soil.
CLASSIFICATION AND COMPACTION TESTING
Unit Weight and Moisture Content: Each ring sample was weighed and measured to
evaluate its unit weight. A small portion of each sample was then subjected to testing
to evaluate its moisture content. This testing was performed per the current ASTM
Standards D2937 and D2216. This was used in order to evaluate the dry density of the
soil in its natural condition. The results of this testing are shown on the Boring Logs
(Figure Nos. A-3 through A-4).
Classification Testing: Two soil samples were selected for classification testing. This
testing consists of mechanical grain size analyses and Atterberg Limit tests. This
testing was performed per the current ASTM Standards D422 and D4318. These tests
provide information for developing classifications for the soil in accordance with the
Unified Classification System. This classification system categorizes the soil into
groups having similar engineering characteristics. The results of this testing are very
useful in detecting variations in the soils and in selecting samples for further testing.
The results of this testing are presented on Figure No. B-4.

Project Vo. 5168-171, July 2015 B-1 Inland Foundation Engineering, Inc.
SOIL MECHANICS TESTING
Direct Shear Testing: Two samples were selected for direct shear testing. This
testing was performed per the current ASTM Standard D3080. This testing measures
the shear strength of the soil under various normal pressures and is used in developing
parameters for foundation design and lateral design. Testing was performed using
recompacted test specimens which were saturated prior to testing. Testing was
performed using a strain controlled test apparatus with normal pressures ranging from
500 to 2,500 pounds per square foot. The results of this testing are shown on Figure
No. B-5.
Consolidation Testing: Two samples were selected for consolidation testing. This
testing was performed per the current ASTM Standard D2435. For this test, relatively
undisturbed samples were selected and carefully trimmed into a one inch thick by 2.5 -
inch diameter consolidometer. The consolidometer was moisture sealed in order to
preserve the moisture content of the sample during the initial stages of testing. Loads
ranging from 325 to 20,800 pounds per square foot were applied progressively with the
rate of settlement declining to a value of 0.0002 inches per hour prior to the application
of each subsequent load. At a preselected load, water was introduced into the
consolidometer in order to observe the potential for saturation collapse. The results of
this testing are presented graphically on Figure Nos. B-6 through B-7.
R -value Testing: One sample was selected for R -value testing. This test measures
the ability of soil to resist lateral deformation under applied vertical loads, and is used in
developing parameters for pavement structural sections. Testing was performed in
accordance with Caltrans Test Method 301. The results of this testing are shown on
Figure No. B-8.
Analytical Testing: One sample was selected to determine the concentration of
soluble sulfates, chlorides, pH level, and resistivity of and within the on-site soils. The
following table presents the results of this testing:

Expansion Testing: One sample was selected for Expansion testing. Expansion
testing was performed per the current ASTM Standard D4829. This testing consists of
remolding 4 -inch diameter by 1 -inch thick test specimens to a moisture content and dry
density corresponding to approximately 50 percent saturation. The samples are
subjected to a surcharge of 144 pounds per square foot and allowed to reach
equilibrium. At that point the specimens are inundated with distilled water. The linear
expansion is then measured until complete. The results of this testing are shown
below.

APPENDIX C
LIQUEFACTION AND SEISMIC SETTLEMENT ANALYSIS
The potential for liquefaction was analyzed using the EQLIQU & SETTLE"2"
liquefaction program. This program conducts a simplified analysis based on the in-situ
conditions and the seismic parameters developed for the site.
In general, liquefaction is a phenomenon that occurs where there is a loss of strength or
stiffness in the soils that can result in the settlement of buildings, ground failures, or
other hazards. The main factors contributing to this phenomenon are: 1) cohesionless,
granular soils having relatively low densities (usually of Holocene age); 2) shallow
ground water (generally less than 50 feet); and 3) moderate -high seismic ground
shaking. The results of our analysis indicate that the soil encountered in Boring B-2
between depths of 18 and 21 feet may liquefy during the design seismic event.
However, using Ishihara's criteria (1985), the liquefiable layer is sufficiently thin and
deep that the potential for liquefaction -induced ground damage is negligible.

Our inspection was performed on May 20, 2016
Anyone reading this report should read the entire report, including attachments, which are part
of this report. We use "we" throughout, rather than the awkward repeating of our name.
Project -Specific Limitations
None. This was not a limited survey, however, the building was occupied during our inspection
and we did not do destructive sampling, e.g. checking for presence of older flooring materials
under the ceramic tile . The general limitations at the end of this report apply to all projects.
Company Background
Since 1991 we have provided services at many thousands of properties of all types. Our goals
have always been to produce superior reports, offer superior value, and provide superior
service. Significantly, about 33% of our revenue has been from sub -consulting work for
medium and large consulting companies who demand top quality and choose to trust us to do
work for their clients. Our clients include investors, architects, lenders, attorneys, government
organizations, property management firms and other consulting firms. We provide a wide range
of services needed for pre-acquisition due diligence of commercial properties and for
management and correction of identified hazards or deficiencies. Please visit our web site for
more information: http://www.masekconsulting.net
Asbestos Survey Findings
A Friable material can be broken, crumbled, pulverized or reduced to powder by hand pressure
when dry (e.g. structural fireproofing, pipe insulation, ceiling tile, ceiling texture). Non -Friable
materials include items such as vinyl floor tile, mastics, plastic roof cement, stucco, drywall joint
compound & texture, roofing, and sheet vinyl flooring (when in place and in good condition,
friable once disturbed). A non -friable material may become friable when disturbed or
deteriorated.
Materials Reported To Contain Greater Than Zero, But Less Than 1 % Asbestos
Many people, including many in the environmental consulting, abatement contracting, and other
contracting industries, do not know that work involving materials which contain less than one
percent asbestos is still covered by numerous regulations, and that such materials may not be
treated as if they contained no asbestos.
Letters from the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) interpreting
their regulations make it clear that materials containing less than 1 % asbestos are still covered
by significant portions of their asbestos regulations and that employers must exercise due
diligence to avoid violations and exposures to asbestos. Some of those are:
A letter dated April 17, 1997 to Mr. Leon Petrakis states that the OSHA standard covers
both "asbestos" and "asbestos -containing materials" and that "asbestos that is present
in percentages less than one percent continues to be covered by the OSHA standard."
Asbestos, Lead and Miscellaneous Toxic Materials (universal wastes) Survey Report Fire Station at 1348 Irvine
Blvd., Newport Beach, CA May 26, 2016 Page 2 of 50
A letter dated August 13, 1999 to Mr. Walter Chun regarding demolition (including during
renovation) of materials containing less than one percent asbestos makes several key
points:
• The contractor has an implied obligation to determine if the materials
contain some asbestos and must exercise due diligence to identify the
presence of asbestos in materials, even if the owner has provided a proper
asbestos inspection / survey showing that the materials are not Asbestos
Containing Materials (ACMs, containing more than 1% asbestos). An
investigation of whether any of the materials are prone to contain some
amount of asbestos which is less than or equal to 1% would be one
example of action the employer must take in order to meet the test of
exercising due diligence.
• Unless the contractor produces an initial negative exposure assessment
showing that neither asbestos Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) will be
exceeded, they must comply with the many elements of the standard that
are applicable when either asbestos PEL is exceeded.
• Even if neither asbestos PEL is exceeded or might be exceeded, the use
of wet methods and prompt clean-up and disposal of wastes and debris,
as well as record keeping requirements associated with the negative
exposure assessment, still apply.
• Employees who are working while the contractor seeks to produce a
negative exposure assessment must be provided with the protective
clothing described in 29 CFR 1926.1101 (1), at least half -mask air -purifying
respirators with high efficiency filters, and training that meets the mandates
of 29 CFR 1926.1101(k)(9)(viii).
A letter dated February 1, 2005 to Mr. Skip Bolding indicates that removal of drywall is
Class II work if any of the components of the drywall system (e.g. the drywall joint
compound) contain more than 1% asbestos. It goes on to state that if none of the
components contain more than 1 % asbestos, the requirements depend on whether the
employee exposures to airborne asbestos exceed either the 30 -minute or 8 -hour PELs.
Even if neither PEL is exceeded, wet methods, prompt clean-up and disposal of wastes
and debris contaminated with asbestos in leak -tight containers, and prohibitions against
the use of high speed abrasive saws without HEPA-filtered exhaust, compressed air
removal, and employee rotation to lower exposure still apply.
The California Code of Regulations, Title 8, Chapter 3.2. California Occupational Safety and
Health Regulations (DOSH or CAL/OSHA), Subchapter 2. Regulations of the Division of
Occupational Safety and Health, Article 2.5. Registration—Asbestos-Related Work, Sub -section
341.6. Registration Requirements, defines an Asbestos Containing Construction Material
(ACCM) as any manufactured construction material which contains more than 1/10th of 1%
(0.1 %) asbestos by weight.
There are several issues:
Asbestos, Lead and Miscellaneous Toxic Materials (universal wastes) Survey Report Fire Station at 1348 Irvine
Blvd., Newport Beach, CA May 26, 2016 Page 3 of 50
1) The Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) method commonly used really only has a
resolution of about 1%.
2) The analytical method and laboratory accreditation people require that the laboratory
report seeing asbestos in a sample, even if they do not see enough to feel comfortable
calling it 1%. We have seen such samples which we have collected under a PLM
microscope, and a sample prepared by the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation
Program with 0.3% asbestos, and the asbestos was clearly visible in those samples.
3) Many of the materials contain binders and such which obscure the asbestos fibers,
especially the finer fibers.
4) Materials such as stucco have an inconsistent asbestos content, as they were field
mixed (We have met "old-timers"in the construction industry who told us that they used
one coffee can of asbestos per mixer barrel of stucco).
5) Analysis by a Transmission Electron Microscope is the only proper method for
additional analysis of non -friable materials, as PLM point counting is known to miss
asbestos found by TEM analysis, and TEM analysis is essentially the same or lower cost
than the far less accurate point counting. Please see the News section of our web site
for an article on point counting. Due to the cost of additional analysis, few clients ever
request anything beyond routine PLM analysis.
6) Both EPA and OSHA regulate asbestos, so the regulations of both, and corresponding
state and local regulations, must be considered.
Homoqeneous Areas and SamDles
To make the following table and this report readily readable, we utilize 12 point or larger type
for all but the page footers and attachments. People also do not like having to turn pages to read
them, especially if they are reading a screen. For the convenience of readers, we minimize the
number of columns by using convenient codes for condition, disturbance potential, friability,
removal, and waste handling.
Damage may be physical, due to deterioration, or due to water. Significant Damage means 10%
or more evenly distributed, or 25% or greater localized damage. Damage means less than 10%
damage (e.g. abraded, gouged, blistered, peeling, crumbling). Good means no or very little
damage or deterioration.
Materials may be disturbed by contact, vibration, or air erosion, and all of those possible sources
of disturbance are considered in determining if there is potential for significant damage, potential
for damage, or low potential for damage.
Taking all of those factors into consideration, materials which contain asbestos (those containing

Category I non -friable ACM is any asbestos -containing packing, gasket, resilient floor covering
or asphalt roofing product which contains more than one percent (1 %) asbestos as determined
using polarized light microscopy (PLM) according to the method specified in Appendix A,
Subpart F, 40 CFR Part 763. (Sec. 61.141), or assumed to be such.
Category II non -friable ACM is any material, excluding Category I non -friable ACM, containing
more than one percent (1 %) asbestos as determined using polarized light microscopy according
to the methods specified in Appendix A, Subpart F, 40 CFR Part 763 that, when dry, cannot be
crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure. (Sec. 61.141), or assumed to be
such.
If all or portions of materials which contain asbestos are removed (using typical methods and
equipment), the following Waste codes indicate how the waste should be disposed:
F - Friable, hazardous asbestos waste;
NF - Non -Friable, non -hazardous asbestos waste; or
O - OSHA regulations regarding materials containing greaterthan zero, but less than 1 %
asbestos apply. Dispose as construction debris or non -friable asbestos waste,
depending on the requirements of the landfill where the waste is disposed.
Suspect materials which are not sampled must be assumed to contain asbestos. Materials are
typically assumed to contain asbestos due to the material being readily identifiable (e.g.
asbestos -cement items), lack of access, or to avoid the cost of laboratory analysis for materials
which commonly contain asbestos (e.g. plastic roof cement).
We generally omit the prefix of the sample numbers from the sketch(es) or drawings for clarity.
Such prefixes are used solely to prevent the laboratory from accidentally mixing samples from
different batches.

Please see the Scope of Services section below for information on our sampling protocols.
We use the words "roughly' or "approximately" with quantities to prevent contractor change
orders for minor variations in quantity. Contractors should verify the site conditions, material
location(s), and quantities to their satisfaction prior to committing to a price for removal work.

Lead (paint and ceramic tile) Survey Findings
Lead-based paint (XRF readings greater than or equal to 1.0 mg/cm2 in most places) was
identified on:
• Sliding door frame from the living room to the patio.
No lead -glazed ceramic tile (XRF readings >= 1.0 mg/cm2)was identified.
Lead Survey Samples
A room equivalent is an identifiable part of a building (e.g., room, exterior, corridor, stairway,
Asbestos, Lead and Miscellaneous Toxic Materials (universal wastes) Survey Report Fire Station at 1348 Irvine
Blvd., Newport Beach, CA May 26, 2016 Page 7 of 50
foyer, Etc.). Closets or other similar areas adjoining rooms are not considered as separate room
equivalents unless they are obviously dissimilar from the adjoining room equivalent.
The regulations require one reading from each testing combination, except for walls, where one
reading is required from each wall (up to a maximum of four readings from the largest walls in
testing combinations with more than four walls).
Each testing combination may be composed of more than one building component (such as two
similar windows within a room equivalent).
For multifamily developments or apartment buildings, common areas and exterior sites are
treated as separate types of units, not as room equivalents.
If similar building component types with identical substrates (such as windows) are all found to
contain lead paint in the first five interior room equivalents, testing of that component type in the
remaining room equivalents may be discontinued.
Surfaces covered with wallpaper are assumed to be painted
For varnished, stained, or similar clear -coated floors, measurements in only one room equivalent
are permissible if it appears that the floors in the other room equivalents have the same coating.
Some testing combinations have multiple parts. For example
• All of the parts of an interior window sash;
• All of the parts of the window frame and trim (casings, stops, jambs, aprons, Etc.);
• All of the parts of baseboard assembly (main board, quarter round, and so forth);
• All of the parts of a door (stiles, rails, panels, mullions, panels, Etc.); and,
• All of the parts of a door frame assembly (jambs, stops, transoms, casings, Etc.).
Because it is highly unlikely that all the parts would have different painting histories, they are not
considered separate testing combinations, unless we have substantial evidence that different
parts have separate, distinct painting histories.
When the plus or minus indication on the XRF instrument is such that adding the amount
indicated to the reading would cause it to be equal to or over the positive level (1 or 0.7,
depending on the locality), we add it and report that amount.
In the Title 17, California Code Of Regulations, Division 1, Chapter 8:
"Industrial building" means a structure that is used primarily for industrial activity, which
is generally not open to the public, including but not limited to, warehouses, factories, and
storage facilities. 'Industrial building" does not include any structure which fits the
definition of a public building or a residential building.
Asbestos, Lead and Miscellaneous Toxic Materials (universal wastes) Survey Report Fire Station at 1348 Irvine
Blvd., Newport Beach, CA May 26, 2016 Page 8 of 50
"Public building" means a structure, or part of a structure, and its land, which is generally
accessible to the public, including but not limited to, schools, daycare centers, museums,
airports, hospitals, stores, convention centers, government facilities, office buildings and
any other building which is not an industrial building or a residential building.
"Residential building" means a structure, or part of a structure, and its land, which is used
or occupied, or intended to be used or occupied, in whole or in part, as the home or
residence of one or more persons.
A firehouse is obviously an "industrial building" as it clearly is not a "residential building," since
nobody is allowed to live in it, nor a "public building," since it is not open to the public, no matter
its former use.

Recommendations
All persons who read and use this report should read the entire report and all of the
attachments.
Information on laws and regulations is provided as a convenience, not as a substitute for proper
legal advice and review of the entire text of the applicable laws and regulations.
It is routine for us to be hired to oversee, monitor, and document abatement work on large
projects and school projects. All clients should consider reducing their liability from claims which
could arise during or after abatement work by retaining us to oversee, monitor, and document
that work.
Limitations of Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) Analytical Methods
It is possible that materials reported to contain less than 1% asbestos by Polarized Light
Microscopy (PLM) analysis may or may not actually contain asbestos. Non -friable Organically
Bound (NOB) such as floor tiles (vinyl and asphalt), roofing materials, mastics, and caulking may
contain asbestos which is tightly bound to the matrix material and therefore not easily isolated
and detected by microscopy. PLM many not detect asbestos fibers less than 0.2 microns in
diameter. Because asbestos fibers found in NOB materials may be less than 0.1 microns in
diameter, this method can sometimes yield low estimates or even false negative results. In New
York, both PLM and TEM analysis is required in order to declare that samples of NOB materials
do not contain asbestos. Clients in other areas may wish to have samples of non -friable
organically bound materials reported as "none detected" under PLM analysis re -analyzed by
TEM.
Miscellaneous Toxic Materials
There are numerous laws and regulations covering the handling, transport, and disposal of toxic
materials. All of the miscellaneous toxic materials should be properly handled, packed,
transported and disposed by workers with proper training and personal protective equipment,
including, but not limited to:
• Proper removal and disposal of all batteries, with recycling of all lead -acid
batteries;
• Assuming that all fluorescent lamp tubes and mercury-vapor lamps contain levels
of mercury which require that they be properly disposed, and careful removal and
packing of them, then transport to a recycling company;
• Assuming that all lamp ballasts / HID ballasts contain PCBs, except those found
to be marked / date coded as not containing PCBs, and removal and packing for
recycling and disposal by transportation to a recycling company (not land fill
disposal);
• Properly removal and disposal of all radioactive exit signs.
Asbestos, Lead and Miscellaneous Toxic Materials (universal wastes) Survey Report Fire Station at 1348 Irvine
Blvd., Newport Beach, CA May 26, 2016 Page 30 of 50
• Proper removal and disposal of all devices containing oils, such as air conditioning
compressors, pumps, compressors, etc.;
• Proper removal and disposal of all refrigerants from all equipment containing
refrigerants, such as chillers, air conditioners, water coolers, and
refrigerators/freezers (the technician(s) performing the refrigerant recovery must
be trained and certified under Section 608 of the Clean Air Act, 40CFR Part 82);
and,
• Collection, packaging, and proper disposal (by recycling) all mercury containing
switches and mercury thermometers.
Advance Notification Is Required Prior To Asbestos Abatement Work:
California has many Air Pollution Control Districts (APCDs) and Air Quality Management
Districts (AQMDs): Amador, Antelope Valley, Bay Area, Butte, Calaveras, Colusa, Eastern
Kern, EI Dorado, Feather River, Glenn, Great Basin, Imperial, Lake Lassen, Mariposa,
Mendocino, Modoc, Mojave Desert, Monterey Bay, North Coast, Northern Sierra, Northern
Sonoma, Placer, Sacramento, San Diego, San Joaquin, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara,
Shasta, Siskiyou, South Coast, Tehama, Tuolumne, Ventura, and Yolo-Solano. In most of
them, the federal asbestos NESHAP (National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutant)
provisions requiring a two week advance notification for removal of more than 160 square feet
or 260 linear feet of asbestos containing materials apply. In the South Coast Air Quality
Management District (SCAQMD) which encompasses Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, and
parts of San Bernardino Counties, a ten working day advance notification must be given for
work on more than 100 square feet of asbestos containing material. SCAQMD has an
agreement with US EPA to administer the asbestos NESHAP. Rule 1403 is their asbestos
regulation regarding notification and asbestos removal and demolition work. Their Rule 222
governs use of negative air machines and HEPA vacuums for asbestos work. Before starting
work, the current notification requirements should be verified. Notification is also required prior
to demolition. The company or organization actually doing the work is responsible for
notification.
Asbestos abatement contractors must display a posting board at each work location, and it
should contain copies of their notification, license, OSHA temporary job site notification, and
other information such as the location of emergency medical facilities. Copies of the AHERA
training, annual asbestos worker medical exam, and latest respirator fit test report for each
worker and supervisor must be on site.
Notifications to Employees, Contractors, Tenants, and the Public:
1) Building owners must notify their employees and other owners (e.g of tenant
companies) within 15 days of their knowledge of the presence of asbestos containing
materials (Connelly Act, AB 3713, California Health and Safety Code, Section 25915),
and annually thereafter.
2) Federal OSHA construction asbestos regulations, 29CFR1926.1101 (k), and the
corresponding California regulations, apply to communication of hazards during
Asbestos, Lead and Miscellaneous Toxic Materials (universal wastes) Survey Report Fire Station at 1348 Irvine
Blvd., Newport Beach, CA May 26, 2016 Page 31 of 50
construction activities.
3) Federal OSHA general industry asbestos regulations, 29CFR1910.10010)(2)(i), and
the corresponding California regulations, require that building owners determine the
presence, location, and quantity of materials which contain asbestos at the work site, and
inform employees about the presence and location of those materials. Again, tenants are
not employees. While this aspect of the regulation is widely ignored, as most commercial
building have either not been inspected for asbestos, or only partially inspected, we
suggest that all building owners implement an asbestos management (O&M) program
based on at least a walkthrough asbestos survey. Asbestos was used in many common
building materials up to the late 1980s, so having an asbestos management program in
place minimizes liability and costs.
4) Federal OSHA general industry asbestos regulations, 29CFR1 910.1001 0)(2)(iii)
requires that building owners inform employers of employees, and employers inform
employees who will perform housekeeping activities in areas which contain asbestos
(actual or presumed) of the presence and location of those materials which may be
contacted during such activities.
5) Federal OSHA general industry asbestos regulations, 29CFR1910.10010)(4)(i), and
the corresponding California regulations, require that building owners or employers affix
or post labels or signs so that employees will be notified of what materials contain, or are
presumed to contain, asbestos. The labels are to be attached in such areas where they
will clearly be noticed by employees who are likely to be exposed, such as at the
entrance to mechanical room/areas. The labels must complywith the requirements of 29
CFR 1910.1200(f) of OSHA's Hazard Communication standard, and must include the
following information:
DANGER
CONTAINS ASBESTOS FIBERS
AVOID CREATING DUST
CANCER AND LUNG DISEASE HAZARD
6) There is a slight variation in wording of the warnings in California's Connelly Act, AB
3713, California Health and Safety Code, Section 25915:
CAUTION.
ASBESTOS.
CANCER AND LUNG DISEASE HAZARD.
DO NOT DISTURB WITHOUT PROPER TRAINING AND EQUIPMENT
Asbestos, Lead and Miscellaneous Toxic Materials (universal wastes) Survey Report Fire Station at 1348 Irvine
Blvd., Newport Beach, CA May 26, 2016 Page 32 of 50
so we usually develop signs and labels which are a combination of the California and OSHA
wording.
7) In a January 24, 1996 letter to Ms. Lisa K. Rushton interpreting their 29CFR1910.1101
and 29CFR1926.1101 regulations, OSHA stated: "Signs and labels are required to be
posted on or near the product. However, it is generally not feasible to put labels on walls
and floors. If it is not feasible, alternatives may be used. For example, if asbestos
containing floors are being serviced by employees using a common equipment room day
after day, then a sign or label for the asbestos flooring can be posted in that room."
8) California's Connelly Act, AB 3713, California Health and Safety Code, Section 25915,
Sub -Section 25915.5 states: "An owner required to give notice to employees pursuant
to this chapter, in addition to notifying his or her employees, shall mail, in accordance
with this subdivision, a copy of that notice to all other persons who are owners of the
building or part of the building, with whom the owner has privity of contract. Receipt of a
notice pursuant to this section by an owner, lessee or operator shall constitute knowledge
that the building contains asbestos -containing construction materials for purposes of this
chapter. Notice to an owner shall be delivered by first-class mail addressed to the person
and at the address designated for the receipt of notices under the lease, rental
agreement, or contract with the owner. "
9) The California Proposition 65 notification signs which building owners (excepting many
or most government buildings) should have posted on your buildings cover many
materials and substances, but they are not sufficient for notifying employees or
contractors working on the building.
Contractor / Emolover Reaistration / Licensin
An employer who will be engaging in asbestos-related work involving 100 square feet or more
of surface area of asbestos -containing construction material must be registered with DOSH.
Asbestos abatement contractors must have this registration in addition to a contractor's license,
so they are typically used to perform such work. The square footage of ACCM to be disturbed
is computed by adding up the surface area of all ACCMs which will be handled during the
course of the work being performed by the employer, even if it is in noncontiguous locations in
all of the buildings, structures, premises, fixtures, machinery or other areas which will be
handled during the course of the work forwhich the employer has contracted, whether pursuant
to single or multiple contracts with the same hirer. This generally means that a licensed
asbestos abatement contractor must be utilized, unless a particular employer feels that theywill
have enough asbestos work that training and equipping some of their staff and becoming
registered is cost effective.
If the work involves less than 100 sq. ft. of ACCM, the employer must send a simple "report of
use" to Cal/OSHA. All other occupational health and safety work rule requirements apply -
especially those from Title 8 of the California Code of Regulations, 1529. For more information
about "reports of use" and the database of carcinogen use reports, call 415-703-5190. Also, see
8 CCR 5203, the Carcinogen Report of Use Requirements.

OSHA Asbestos Regulations
The federal OSHA asbestos regulations for the construction industry are contained in
29CFR1926.1101. The corresponding California regulations are at California Code of
Regulations, Title 8 - Industrial Relations, Division 1- Industrial Relations, Chapter 4 - Division
of Industrial Safety, Sub -chapter 4 - Construction Safety Orders, Article 4 - Dusts, Mists, Fumes,
Vapors, and Gases, §§1529. Asbestos.
All of these OSHA regulations use the following definitions
ACM is Asbestos Containing Material (alsoACBM, which is Asbestos Containing Building
material)
PACM is Presumed Asbestos Containing Material;
Surfacing Material is material that is sprayed, troweled -on or otherwise applied to
surfaces, such as acoustical plaster on ceilings and fireproofing materials on structural
members; and,
TSI is Thermal System Insulation (e.g. pipe and boiler insulation).
The California regulations mirror the federal OSHA regulations, and defines four classes of work
on asbestos containing materials:
"Class I asbestos work" means activities involving the removal of TSI and
surfacing ACM and PACM.
"Class II asbestos work" means activities involving the removal of ACM which is
not thermal system insulation orsurfacing material. This includes, but is not limited
to, the removal of asbestos -containing wallboard, floor tile and sheeting, roofing
and siding shingles, and construction mastics.
"Class III asbestos work" means repair and maintenance operations, where
"ACM", including TSI and surfacing ACM and PACM, is likely to be disturbed.
"Disturbance" means activities that disrupt the matrix of ACM or PACM, crumble
or pulverize ACM or PACM, or generate visible debris from ACM or PACM.
Disturbance includes cutting away small amounts of ACM and PACM, no greater
than the amountwhich can be contained in one standard sized glove bag orwaste
bag in order to access a building component. In no event shall the amount of ACM
or PACM so disturbed exceed that which can be contained in one glove bag or
waste bag which shall not exceed 60 inches in length and width.
"Class IV asbestos work" means maintenance and custodial activities during
which employees contact but do not disturb ACM or PACM and activities to clean
up dust, waste and debris resulting from Class I, ll, and III activities.
The regulations require that all Class I, II and III asbestos work shall be conducted within
regulated areas, with all of the related requirements for demarcation, signs, respirators, and so
Asbestos, Lead and Miscellaneous Toxic Materials (universal wastes) Survey Report Fire Station at 1348 Irvine
Blvd., Newport Beach, CA May 26, 2016 Page 34 of 50
forth
All asbestos work performed within regulated areas must be supervised by a competent person.
A competent person for Class I and Class II work must be trained as an asbestos supervisor,
as originally defined in the US EPA Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA), 40
CFR 763 - available on the US EPA web site.
For Class III work, the competent person need only have the 16 hour training required for
maintenance and custodial staff who disturb ACMs (also known as Operations & Maintenance
or O&M training).
The OSHA regulations at 29CFR1 926.1101 (k)(9)(iii) require that training of workers for Class
I operations and for Class II operations that require the use of critical barriers (or equivalent
isolation methods) and/or negative pressure enclosures be the equivalent in curriculum, training
method and length to the EPA Model Accreditation Plan (MAP) asbestos abatement workers
training (40 CFR Part 763, subpart E, appendix C). However, 1926.1101(k)(9)(iv)(A) covering
work with asbestos containing roofing materials, flooring materials, siding materials, ceiling tiles,
or asbestos cement panels, allows a much shorter 8 hour training class for workers. That
shorter class must include "hands-on" training and all the elements included in paragraph
(k)(9)(viii) of that section, plus the specific work practices and engineering controls set forth in
paragraph (g) of that section which specifically relate to the category of work to be performed.
Many private training facilities provide the asbestos supervisor and worker initial and annual
refresher training classes, as well as the O&M training classes. Unless it is reasonably certain
that the supervisor and workers will never need to disturb more than the small amount of ACM
allowed under Class III, they need the normal AHERA supervisor and worker classes.
Despite the small size of Class III projects, they must be conducted using engineering and work
practice controls which minimize the exposure to employees performing the asbestos work and
to bystander employees:
(A) The work shall be performed using wet methods.
(B) To the extent feasible, the work shall be performed using local exhaust ventilation
(C) Where the disturbance involves drilling, cutting, abrading, sanding, chipping,
breaking, or sawing of thermal system insulation or surfacing material, the employer shall
use impermeable drop cloths, and shall isolate the operation using mini -enclosures or
glove bag systems or another isolation method.
(D) Where the employer does not produce a "negative exposure assessment' for a job,
or where monitoring results show the PEL (Permissible Exposure Limit) has been
exceeded, the employer shall contain the area using impermeable drop cloths and plastic
barriers or their equivalent, or shall isolate the operation using another listed and
compliant control system.
(E) Employees performing Class III jobs, which involve the disturbance of thermal system
insulation or surfacing material, or where the employer does not produce a "negative
Asbestos, Lead and Miscellaneous Toxic Materials (universal wastes) Survey Report Fire Station at 1348 Irvine
Blvd., Newport Beach, CA May 26, 2016 Page 35 of 50
exposure assessment" or where monitoring results show a PEL has been exceeded,
shall wear respirators which are selected, used and fitted according to the applicable
regulations.
Federal OSHA published a nice informal summary of their asbestos regulations for the
construction industry, publication OSHA3096, Revised in 2002. It is available online.
Lead Regulations
Three federal agencies regulate lead paint under Title X of the Housing and Community
Development Act of 1992: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA). The federal lead regulations for construction work are contained in
29CFR1926.62 and the corresponding California regulations in CCR 8 Section 1532.1 have
some additions or revisions which are not in the federal regulations.
In California, accreditation, certification, and work practices for lead-based paint and lead
hazards are regulated by Title 17, California Code Of Regulations, Division 1, Chapter 8.
California Senate Bill 460 amended H&SC 17920.10 by adding "lead hazards" as a violation,
amended H&SC 17961 to allow local agencies to enforce 17920.10 when lead hazards are
present, and amended H&SC 105251-56 making it illegal for contractors to create lead hazards
and to allow local enforcement agencies to perform enforcement. In California, lead abatement
work must be performed by California CDPH (formerly DHS) accredited supervisors and
workers.
The action level for employee exposure to airborne lead is 30 pg/m3 averaged over an 8 -hour
day. The Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) is 50 pg/m3 averaged over an 8 -hour day.
If lead is present in a construction workplace in any quantity, the construction employer is
required to make an initial determination of whether any employee's exposure to airborne lead
exceeds the action level. This initial determination requires that the employer perform an
exposure assessment to monitorthe construction workers' exposures unless they have objective
data from similar operations performed within the previous 12 months, or data from outside
sources such as trade associations and suppliers. In a letter to Mr. William F. Alcarese dated
September 10, 2008, federal OSHA stated that an employer working with paint which contains
any amount of lead in such as way that would generate airborne levels to which employees may
be exposed, must conduct exposure monitoring (or use objective or historical data to
demonstrate that the action level is not exceeded.
Monitoring for an initial exposure assessment may be limited to a representative number of
employees who are reasonably expected to have the highest exposure levels. Such monitoring
is typically done by clipping small battery -powered air pumps to the employees' belts, with hoses
running to filter cassettes clipped to the lapel of their shirts.
Some people mistakenly assume that work on materials found to contain any lead, even a low
reading such as 0.18 mg/cm', requires use of a lead abatement contractor. That is incorrect,
as abatement personnel are mainly trained to remove lead paint and ceramic tile, not to perform
normal construction tasks.
Asbestos, Lead and Miscellaneous Toxic Materials (universal wastes) Survey Report Fire Station at 1348 Irvine
Blvd., Newport Beach, CA May 26, 2016 Page 36 of 50
There are four categories of tasks with different requirements for performing exposure
assessments when lead is present and when the amount of lead is unknown:
1) For common miscellaneous construction tasks such as demolition using
machinery, drilling holes through walls to run pipes or conduits, driving fasteners
into surfaces, the regulations do not list any special requirements for performing
exposure assessments. However, if an employer of an employee performing such
a task has any reason to believe that an employee may be exposed to lead in
excess of the PEL, they are required to implement the same personal protective
measures as for category 2 below. It is obvious that many employers assume that
employees performing such work, especially with paint containing less than 1.0
Mg/CM2 of lead, will not be exposed above the PEL.
In California, Title 8, Section 1532.1 states that exposure assessment for such
tasks is not required if data showing that the paint contains less than 600ppm of
lead is available. However, that is a lesser standard than in the federal
regulations, and federal OSHA, in a letter to Mr. William F. Alcarese dated
September 10, 2008, states "Accordingly, for all tasks governed by OSHA's Lead
in Construction standard (29 CFR 1926.62) involving paints having any level of
lead, employers must comply with the assessment measures and any applicable
protections of that standard." Also, data showing if the paint is above or below
600ppm of lead is usually not available, as the X -Ray Fluorescence (XRF)
machines which are the normal and preferred method of testing produce results
in units of milligrams per square centimeter, not ppm, and no conversion between
the two units is possible.
2) For the tasks listed below, performing an exposure assessment requires that the
workers involved be provided with personal protective clothing and equipment,
change areas, hand washing facilities, biological monitoring (blood tests), training,
and tight fitting air purifying half -face or better respirators as specified in the
regulations :
Manual demolition of structures (e.g., dry wall)
Manual scraping;
Manual sanding;
Heat gun applications;
Power tool cleaning with dust collection systems; and,
Spray painting with lead paint;
3) For the tasks listed below, performing an exposure assessment requires that the
workers involved be provided with personal protective clothing and equipment,
change areas, hand washing facilities, biological monitoring (blood tests), training,
and tight fitting air purifying full -face or better respiratory protection as specified
Asbestos, Lead and Miscellaneous Toxic Materials (universal wastes) Survey Report Fire Station at 1348 Irvine
Blvd., Newport Beach, CA May 26, 2016 Page 37 of 50
in the regulations :
Using lead containing mortar;
Lead burning;
Rivet busting;
Power tool cleaning without dust collection systems;
Cleanup activities where dry expendable abrasives are used;
Abrasive blasting enclosure movement and removal;
4) For the tasks listed below, performing an exposure assessment requires that the
workers involved be provided with personal protective clothing and equipment,
change areas, hand washing facilities, biological monitoring (blood tests), training,
and tight fitting full -face PAPR or better respiratory protection as specified in the
regulations:
Abrasive blasting; and,
Welding, cutting, and torch burning.
Lead Waste Disposal
To determine if lead waste, including soil, demolition debris, and waste from lead abatement
projects, is hazardous waste:
1) Sample the waste and have a laboratory perform a Total Threshold Limit
Concentration (TTLC) test (preparation EPA 30506, test method EPA 60106). If
that test indicates 1,000 parts per million (ppm) or more lead, the waste is
hazardous waste.
2) If the test results indicate that the waste contains 50ppm or less of lead, it is not
a hazardous waste.
3) If the waste contains 50 or more ppm of lead, but less than 1,000ppm of lead,
then a California California Waste Extraction Test (WET - preparation method
CAC 66261.126, test method EPA 60106) should be performed on the waste
sample.
4) If the waste exceeds the Soluble Threshold Limit Concentration (STLC) for lead
of 5 ppm, it is a California hazardous waste.
Hazardous wastes must be disposed of at a hazardous waste landfill and must be hauled under
a proper manifest by a licensed hazardous waste transporter.
Asbestos, Lead and Miscellaneous Toxic Materials (universal wastes) Survey Report Fire Station at 1348 Irvine
Blvd., Newport Beach, CA May 26, 2016 Page 38 of 50
In an E-mail message sent 5/27/2004, Mr. Charles Corcoran (Ccorcora@dtsc.ca.gov or 916-
327-4499), Chief of the Waste Identification and Recycling Section of the California Department
of Toxic Substances Control stated that "The waste must be classified as it will be generated.
If the entire building is to be demolished, then that is the waste to be classified. In the event the
whole building is demolished, if the entire waste does not exceed the 350 ppm limit [note - his
E-mail was written before the 350ppm requirement expired, therefore reverting back to the 1,000
ppm TTLC and 5 ppm STLC limits] or exhibit any hazardous waste characteristic, it may be
disposed to a C&D landfill. If any individual components are first removed from the building, then
DTSC would consider those wastes to be separately generated and would expect the generator
to characterize them as a distinct waste."
To perform the profile testing, a representative sample of the waste needs to be collected. If a
whole building is to be disposed, then the sample would be of the entire debris (we would take
care to avoid over or under sampling any particular building components). If the waste is a
window, then some of the wood, some of the glass, and some of the putty should be included.
If the waste is ceramic tile (as during a school bathroom remodeling project), then some tile,
some grout, and some of the mortar needs to be included. If the waste is wood trim, then a
chunk of the wood needs to be cut out. If the waste is painted concrete, then a core or chunk
of the concrete needs to be collected. In all cases, the sample should approximate the
proportion of lead paint / lead ceramic tile and other materials actually present in the waste. The
laboratory will require that the sample they receive be pulverized.
All Field Personnel Should Have Basic Asbestos and Lead Training
All contractors working on existing buildings should see that all of their field personnel have at
least the two hour asbestos awareness training, and that any of their employees who will be
performing work involving spot disturbances / removal of materials which contain asbestos have
the 16 hour training needed for performing OSHA Class III asbestos work. They should also
see that all field personnel also have the basic training on respiratory protection needed forwork
with lead (they would receive this during the 16 hour asbestos training).
Exposure Assessment Programs Are Mandatory
All contractors should have well organized asbestos and lead exposure assessment programs
and exposure assessment databases. Exposure assessment is mandatory, and until exposure
assessment data is obtained, contractors must provide respiratory protection and other
measures which could be very inconvenient, cumbersome, and expensive. Exposure
assessment data is generally only good for one year, so ongoing collection of data avoids
having out of date exposure assessment data. It also builds up a nice database of information
to show that the contractor is in compliance with the applicable laws and regulations and that
workers are not being improperly exposed.
Exposure assessment data is collected for workers with similar experience and training
performing similar tasks. It is important to organize the exposure assessment data in the
contractor's database by tasks and experience.
The actual data collection involves placing personal air pumps on the belts of the workers being
monitored, with a filter cassette hanging over their shoulder and clipped to their collar so that
Asbestos, Lead and Miscellaneous Toxic Materials (universal wastes) Survey Report Fire Station at 1348 Irvine
Blvd., Newport Beach, CA May 26, 2016 Page 39 of 50
it is in their "breathing zone." Asbestos exposure assessments require both 30 -minute
"excursion" (highest exposure) sample and 8 hour samples. Lead exposure assessments
require 8 hour samples (a typical work shift. It is important to record the sample information -
flow rate, work task being monitored, and worker experience. The filter cassettes should be
properly labeled and are submitted to a laboratory for analysis of the lead or asbestos content.
Once initial exposure assessment data is obtained, the Contractor need only provide the
respiratory protection and other measures indicated by the exposure assessment data for each
task -experience combination.
The federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Respiratory Protection
Standard is 29 CFR 1910.134. Employees who are required to wear respirators must be
provided with training on the use of the respirator, and a physical examination by a doctor to
show that they are fit to wear a respirator. They must be offered a selection of respirators or
different brands and sizes to find one that fits well, and must be fit tested (once per year) to see
that the respirator seals well when they are wearing it.
Scope of Services
We performed a visual examination of those areas to determine the overall construction and
usage of the building(s) and to plan and coordinate the survey work, taking into account any
information provided on the age and construction of the building(s). We examined any plans
and documents supplied to us determine if any ACMs were specified and to provide information
on remodeling or renovation work. Areas of potential ACM were identified using the available
information on the age of the building, construction materials present and the consultant's
expertise.
Asbestos Containing Materials (ACMs) Which Are Banned
It is important not to view the dates of the laws / regulations which banned the materials listed
below as absolute cut-off dates. In many cases, the laws / regulations allowed suppliers to sell
their existing supplies, and the manufacturers may not have immediately been aware of the new
laws / regulations. For example, we have spoken with a large manufacturer of drywall joint
compound in southern California and learned that they were still manufacturing drywall joint
compound with asbestos in the middle 1980s. Ourexperience inspecting thousands of buildings
of all types also confirms that asbestos containing drywall joint compound was used in many
buildings constructed in the middle 1980s.
Spray applied fireproofing was banned by the 1973 Clean Air Act (CAA) Asbestos
National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutant (NESHAP);
• Wet -applied and pre -formed (molded) asbestos pipe insulation and pre -formed
(molded) asbestos block insulation on boilers and hot water tanks were banned
by the 1975 Clean Air Act (CAA) Asbestos National Emission Standard for
Hazardous Air Pollutant (NESHAP);
• Spray applied decorative ACM (e.g. acoustic ceiling texture) was banned by the
1978 Clean Air Act (CAA) Asbestos National Emission Standard for Hazardous

Air Pollutant (NESHAP);
• Patching compounds which are used to cover, seal or mask cracks, joints, holes
and similar openings in the trim, walls, ceiling, etc. of building interiors (also used
to create textured effects) which a consumer can purchase (those where the sale
or use of the product by consumers is facilitated, and those containing respirable
free form asbestos which are used in residences, schools, hospitals, public
buildings or other areas where consumers have customary access) were banned
by the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) in 1978 - see 16 CFR
1304;
Artificial emberizing materials (ash and embers) containing respirable freeform
asbestos (generally packaged in an emberizing kit for use in fireplaces, and
designed for use in such a manner that the asbestos fibers can become airborne
under reasonably foreseeable conditions of use were banned by the US
Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) in 1978 - see 16 CFR 1305;
• Spray -on application of materials containing more than 1 % asbestos to buildings,
structures, pipes, and conduits unless the material is encapsulated with a
bituminous or resinous binder during spraying and the materials are not friable
after drying was banned by the 1990 Clean Air Act (CAA) Asbestos National
Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutant (NESHAP);
• Asbestos paper products (flooring felt, roll board, and corrugated, commercial, or
specialty paper) were banned by the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) - On
July 12, 1989, the US EPA issued a final rule banning most asbestos -containing
products. While most of that regulation was overturned by the Fifth Circuit Court
of Appeals in New Orleans in 1991, the bans on these materials were affirmed;
and,
• Products that have not historically contained asbestos, otherwise referred to as
"new uses" of asbestos were banned by the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA)
- On July 12, 1989, the US EPA issued a final rule banning most asbestos -
containing products. While most of that regulation was overturned by the Fifth
Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans in 1991, the bans on these materials
were affirmed.
Various asbestos containing materials were specifically listed as NOT banned by the US EPA's
guidance document of May 18, 1999, but this list is far from comprehensive, as many other
common materials which are not banned are not listed:
Troweled -on Surfacing Materials (e.g. cement stucco and gypsum plaster);
Asbestos -cement corrugated sheet, shingles, flat sheet, millboard, and pipe;
Asbestos clothing for adults;
Pipeline wrap;

Automatic transmission components;
Clutch facings;
Friction materials;
Brake pads, linings, and blocks;
Gaskets;
Non -roofing coatings; and,

Which Materials Commonly Contain Asbestos?
The list in the table below was developed based on US EPA publications and our experience
performing asbestos surveys / inspections of thousands of buildings of all types.
While the production and usage of some have been banned, and most others are simply no
longer produced or installed, many are still legal and new products containing asbestos could
appear on the market, so this list may become out of date.

sloppy use of the imprecise term "wallboard") repeated in other documents. All the times

Asbestos Sampling
Representative samples of potential / suspect ACM were collected after identification of
homogeneous sampling areas (these are areas in which the materials are uniform in color,
texture, construction or application date and general appearance) of potential ACM. Each
homogeneous area of potential ACM was observed for material type, location, condition, and
friability. Representative samples were collected from each area of potential ACM, excepting
areas which were inaccessible, or areas of assumed ACM. The building(s) was examined for
the presence of previous or multiple layers of materials, if applicable. If no suspect materials
were identified, or if only materials assumed to contain asbestos were identified, no samples
were collected.
Most of the laws and regulations regarding asbestos sampling reference the AHERA section on
sampling (40CFR763.86). We used that protocol, with additions to be more conservative, but
not to overly increase the cost of asbestos surveys. Given the lack of detailed guidance in
AHERA regarding miscellaneous materials, our judgement and extensive experience were
important factors in determining the appropriate number of samples. For example, we know
that drywall joint compound is difficult for the laboratories to analyze due to the presence of
binders and such and the relatively low asbestos content, so we collect more samples from an
area of it than we would from a similar area of a material such as sheet vinyl flooring which is
very easy to analyze and which typically was made with a relatively high asbestos content. Of
course, we do not sample non -suspect materials (see the table of suspect materials above).
Suspect materials were assumed to contain asbestos or were sampled as follows:
Friable Surfacing Material, which is a friable suspect material sprayed -on, troweled -on,
or otherwise applied to surfaces, such as acoustical plaster on ceilings and fireproofing
materials on structural members, or other materials on surfaces for acoustical,
fireproofing, or other purposes:
• At least three bulk samples from each homogeneous area that is 1,000 ft
2 or less;
At least five bulk samples from each homogeneous area that is greater
than 1,000 ft z but less than or equal to 5,000 ft z; and,
At least seven bulk samples from each homogeneous area that is greater
than 5,000 ft 2.

Blvd., Newport Beach, CA May 26, 2016 Page 46 of 50
Friable Thermal System Insulation, which is a friable suspect material applied to pipes,
fittings, boilers, breeching, tanks, ducts, orother interior structural components to prevent
heat loss or gain, or water condensation, or for other purposes:
• At least three bulk samples from each homogeneous area;
• At least one bulk sample from each homogeneous area of patched thermal
system insulation if the patched section is less than 6 linear or square feet;
and,
• In a manner sufficient to determine whether the material is ACM or not
ACM, bulk samples from each insulated mechanical system where cement
or plaster is used on fittings such as tees, elbows, or valves.
Friable Miscellaneous Materials, which are interior building materials on structural
components, structural members or fixtures, such as ceiling tiles:
• Bulk samples from each homogeneous area in a manner sufficient to
determine whether the material is ACM or not ACM.
Nonfriable Materials which are interior building materials on structural components,
structural members or fixtures, such as floor tiles:
• In a manner sufficient to determine whether the material is ACM or not
ACM, bulk samples from each homogeneous area.
Sampling was done based on the friability of the material at the time of the asbestos survey.
Reasonable care was taken to reduce accidental fiber release into the building environments.
In order to reduce the potential for fiber release while collecting samples of suspect materials,
the test areas were sprayed with a water -containing surfactant. The tools used for collection of
samples were cleaned with soapy water -soaked cloths between samples in order to avoid cross -
contamination of samples. The samples were placed into heavy plastic sample bags which
were then sealed and labeled. The location, type, and other information on each sample were
recorded.
Asbestos Laboratory Analysis
A chain -of -custody form accompanied the samples to the laboratory. The samples were
analyzed by an NVLAP accredited laboratory using the Polarized Light Method (PLM, EPA
600/R-93/116 and/or EPA 600/M4 -82-020600M4). The PLM method is, by far, the most
commonly used method to analyze bulk materials for the presence of asbestos. This method
utilizes the optical properties of minerals to identify the selected constituent. The use of this
method enables identification of the type and approximate percentage of asbestos in a given
sample. The detection limit of the PLM method for asbestos identification is about one percent
by volume.
Lead Survey

Suspect areas of lead (paint and ceramic tile glaze) were analyzed using non-destructive In
place testing using a portable Thermo Niton 700-703ALXp portable XRF (X -Ray Fluorescence)
instrument.
Miscellaneous Toxic Materials Survey
The following tasks were performed:
• Inspection of a representative sample of fluorescent light fixtures forthe presence
of PCB -containing ballasts (that not labeled as not containing PCBs and/or date
coded before 1979) and fluorescent tubes containing mercury which need to be
recycled;
• Identification of high intensity discharge lighting which may/does contain PCB -
containing ballasts;
• Identification of mercury switches, as in thermostats, pressure/level controls,
"silent' switches, and such;
• Identification of oil -cooled electrical transformers, containers of transformer oil, oil -
filled capacitors, and oil filled high voltage switches not labeled as containing less
than 5ppm PCBs and, if specified in our contract, testing them for PCB content
(except those without sample ports, and those which are energized, which will be
assumed to contain PCBs);
• Identification of refrigeration / HVAC equipment containing refrigerants;
• Identification of radioactive (self -illuminating) exit signs;
General Limitations
The conclusions presented in this report are professional opinions based on the indicated data
described in this report. Opinions and recommendations presented herein apply to site
conditions existing at the time of the site visit(s). Changes in the conditions of the property may
occur with time due to natural processes or various activities on the subject property. Changes
in applicable codes and standards may also occur as a result of legislation or the broadening
of knowledge. Accordingly, this report may become invalid. This report is intended only for the
client, purpose, location, and project indicated. The only persons or companies which may rely
on it are our client, an abatement contractor hired by our client, and the client of our client when
we are sub -consultants. All others may not rely upon this report without having a contract in
place with us. We do not warrant that the information supplied to us by others is accurate.
Reports such as this prepared by any consultant are never intended to be definitive studies of
the presence of asbestos and/or lead at the subject properties. Other locations of asbestos
and/or lead may exist at the subject property, and the levels may vary from those stated in this
report. There may be variations in the composition of materials which appear similar. Materials
may be hidden from view and not accessible. This is especially so for occupied structures or
structures where damage and invasive sampling need to be minimized (such as structures not
Asbestos, Lead and Miscellaneous Toxic Materials (universal wastes) Survey Report Fire Station at 1346 Irvine
Blvd., Newport Beach, CA May 26, 2016 Page 48 of 50
owned by our client).
For pre -demolition surveys of vacant buildings, we do not hesitate to examine the structure in
several areas, looking for multiple layers of materials and materials which are under other
materials. We very, very rarely miss anything. However, we are performing surveys, not
demolition work, so may not see things such as a patch of floor tile hidden under carpeting, and
not detected by our typical examination of the area under the carpet at a corner(s) or existing
hole(s). We examine the structure(s) in several locations, but do not pull up all of the carpet,
or cut numerous holes in floors and walls. That would constitute demolition work, not survey
work, and could also create contamination due to excessive disturbances of suspect materials.
Location and sampling of underground items, such as asbestos -cement pipes, would have been
outside of the scope of services for this project.

Avoiding laboratory bias is done by minimizing the information provided to the laboratory.
Therefore, we do not give information to the laboratory about which samples are or are not
homogeneous, where they were collected, the full address of the building, and the name of the
owner, as such information could be the cause of laboratory bias.
A sketch follows. We generally omit the prefix of the sample numbers from the sketch(es) or
drawings for clarity. Such prefixes are used solely to prevent the laboratory from accidentally
mixing samples from different batches.
