Applicability <br />This Article applies to Applicants for buildings constructed or remodeled from January 1, 1950 to <br />December 31, 1980. <br />Section 4. Exemptions <br />Applications for remodeling, partial building, wood framed structure, and single-family residence <br />demolition projects are exempt. <br />Section 5. PCBs in Priority Building Materials Screening Assessment <br />Every Applicant for a building demolition permit shall conduct a PCBs in Priority Building <br />Materials Screening Assessment, a two-step process used to <br />a. determine whether the building proposed for demolition is high priority for PCBs- <br />containing building materials based on the structure age, use, and construction (i.e., whether <br />the building is an Applicable Structure); and if so <br />b. demonstrate the presence or absence and concentration of PCBs in Priority Building <br />Materials through existing information or representative sampling and chemical analysis of the <br />Priority Building Materials in the building. <br />Applicants shall follow the directions provided in the PCBs in Priority Building Materials <br />Screening Assessment Applicant Package (Applicant Package), which includes an overview of <br />the process, Applicant instructions, a process flow chart, a screening assessment form, and the <br />Protocol for Assessing Priority PCBs-Containing Materials before Building Demolition. Per the <br />Applicant Package, for certain types of buildings built within a specified date range, the Applicant <br />must conduct further assessment to determine whether or not PCBs are present at concentrations <br />≥ 50 ppm. This determination shall be made via existing data on specific product formulations (if <br />available), or via conducting representative sampling of the priority building materials and <br />analyzing the samples for PCBs at a certified analytical laboratory. Any representative sampling <br />and analysis must be conducted in accordance with the Protocol for Assessing Priority <br />PCBs-Containing Materials before Building Demolition. The Applicant Package shall provide <br />additional details. <br />Section 6.Agency Notification, Abatement, and Disposal for Identified PCBs <br />When the PCBs in Priority Building Materials Screening Assessment identifies one or more <br />Priority Building Materials with PCBs, the Applicant must comply with all related applicable <br />federal and state laws, including potential notification of the appropriate regulatory agencies, <br />including EPA, the Regional Water Board, and/or the DTSC. Agency contacts are provided in the <br />Applicant Package. Additional sampling for and abatement of PCBs may be required. <br />Depending on the approach for sampling and removing building materials containing PCBs, the <br />Applicant shall notify or seek advance approval from USEPA before building demolition. Even in <br />circumstances where advance notification to or approval from USEPA is not required before the <br />demolition activity, the disposal of PCBs waste shall remain regulated under the Toxic <br />Substances Control Act (TSCA). Additionally, the disposal of PCBs waste shall remain subject to <br />California Code of Regulations (CCR) Title 22 Section 66262. Additional information shall be in <br />the Applicant Package. <br />Section 7. Compliance with California and Federal PCBs Laws and Regulations <br />Applicants must comply with all Federal and California laws and regulations, including but not <br />limited to health, safety, and environmental laws and regulations, that relate to management and <br />cleanup of any and all PCBs, including but not limited to PCBs in Priority Building Materials, other <br />PCBs-contaminated materials, PCBs-contaminated liquids, and PCBs waste. <br />Section 8.
