APPLICABILITY This Article applies to Applicants for buildings constructed or remodeled from January 1, 1950 to December 31, 1980. 3-23-400. EXEMPTIONS Applications for remodeling, partial building, wood framed structure, and single-family residence demolition projects are exempt. 3-23-500. PCBS IN PRIORITY BUILDING MATERIALS SCREENING ASSESSMENT Every Applicant for a building demolition permit shall conduct a PCBs in Priority Building Materials Screening Assessment, a two-step process used to (a) determine whether the building proposed for demolition is high priority for PCBs -containing building materials based on the structure age, use, and construction (i.e., whether the building is an Applicable Structure); and if so (b) demonstrate the presence or absence and concentration of PCBs in Priority Building Materials through existing information or representative sampling and chemical analysis of the Priority Building Materials in the building. Applicants shall follow the directions provided in the PCBs in Priority Building Materials Screening Assessment Applicant Package (Applicant Package), which includes an overview of the process, Applicant instructions, a process flow chart, a screening assessment form, and the Protocol for Assessing Priority PCBs -Containing Materials before Building Demolition. Per the Applicant Package, for certain types of buildings built within a specified date range, the Applicant must conduct fiirther assessment to determine whether or not PCBs are present at concentrations > 50 ppm. This determination shall be made via existing data on specific product formulations (if available), or via conducting representative sampling of the priority building materials and analyzing the samples for PCBs at a certified analytical laboratory. Any representative sampling and analysis must be conducted in accordance with the Protocol for Assessing Priority PCBs -Containing Materials before Building Demolition. The Applicant Package shall provide all details. 3-23-600. AGENCY NOTIFICATION, ABATEMENT, AND DISPOSAL FOR IDENTIFIED PCBS When the PCBs in Priority Building Materials Screening Assessment identifies one or more Priority Building Materials with PCBs, the Applicant must comply with all related applicable federal and state laws, including potential notification of the appropriate regulatory agencies, including EPA, the Regional Water Board, and/or the DTSC. Agency contacts are provided in the Applicant Package. Additional sampling for and abatement of PCBs may be required. Depending on the approach for sampling and removing building materials containing PCBs, the Applicant shall notify or seek ORDINANCE NO. 2019-012 4
