(i) “PCBs in Priority Building Materials Screening Assessment” means the two-step process used to 1) determine whether the building proposed for demolition is high priority for PCBs-containing building materials based on the structure age, use, and construction; and if so 2) determine the concentrations (if any) of PCBs in Priority Building Materials revealed through existing information or representative sampling and chemical analysis of the Priority Building Materials in the building. Directions for this process are provided in the PCBs in the Priority Building Materials Screening Assessment Applicant Package. (j) “Priority Building Materials” means the following: a. Caulking: e.g., around windows and doors, at structure walkway interfaces, and in expansion joints; b. Thermal/Fiberglass Insulation: e.g., around HVAC systems, around heaters, around boilers, around heated transfer piping, and inside walls or crawl spaces; c. Adhesive/Mastic: e.g., below carpet and floor tiles, under roofing materials, and under flashing; and d. Rubber Window Gaskets: e.g., used in lieu of caulking to seal around windows in steel-framed buildings. (k) “Priority Building Materials Screening Assessment Applicant Package” (Applicant Package) means a document package that includes an overview of the screening process, Applicant instructions, a process flow chart, a screening assessment form, and the Protocol for Evaluating Priority PCBs-Containing Materials before Building Demolition (BASMAA 2018, prepared for the Bay Area Stormwater Management Agencies Association, August 2018).
