File Number: 19-367 <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 all <br />details. <br />3-23-600. 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 be regulated under the Toxic Substances <br />Control Act (TSCA). Additionally, the disposal of PCBs waste shall be subject to California Code <br />of Regulations (CCR) Title 22 Section 66262. Additional information shall be in the Applicant <br />Package. <br />3-23-700. 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 />3-23-800. Information Submission and Applicant Certification <br />(a) The Applicant shall conduct a PCBs in Priority Building Materials Screening Assessment and <br />submit the associated information and results as part of the building demolition permit <br />application, including the following (see Applicant Package for more details): <br />1. Owner and project information, including location, year building was built, description of <br />building construction type, and anticipated demolition date. <br />2. Determination of whether the building proposed for demolition is high priority for <br />PCBs-containing building materials based on the structure age, use, and construction. <br />3. If high priority for PCBs-containing building materials based on the structure age, use, and <br />construction, the concentration of PCBs in each Priority Building Materials present. If PCBs <br />concentrations are determined via representative sampling and analysis, include a contractor’s <br />report documenting the assessment which includes the completed QA/QC checklist from the <br />Page 4 City of San Leandro Printed on 6/25/2019 <br />239
