4.2. Asbestos and its uses
Asbestos is a term that refers to a group of naturally occurring fibrous
minerals. Because of their resistance to decay and their remarkable
insulating properties, asbestos fibers have been incorporated into thousands
of products and materials. Collectively these products are frequently referred
to as asbestos-containing materials (ACM). Many types of ACM have been
used in the construction of buildings and homes. ACM types are generally
put into one of three classifications, they are:
1. Surfacing materials
Surfacing materials are those products, which have been sprayed or trowelled
onto ceilings, walls, and other structural elements. (e.g. fireproofing, thermal
insulation, or decoration) Because of the type of mixture used in the
construction industry, these materials are commonly friable, that is they are
easily crushed or reduced to powder form with hand pressure.
2. Thermal systems insulation (TSI)
The insulation applied to mechanical systems, hot water pipes and heating
ducts often contains asbestos. Hot water pipes and heating systems are
covered with asbestos insulation primarily to prevent heat loss and to protect
32
Ï 4 Ï June 17, 2015
other nearby surfaces from the hot pipes. Much of this asbestos insulation
was manufactured from 1920 to 1972, and it was used in construction until
1978.
3. Miscellaneous
Miscellaneous ACM materials include all asbestos products, which cannot be
classified as either surfacing material or TSI. These materials are usually
non-friable and generally do not release asbestos fibers into the air unless
damaged. Products such as floor tile, mastic, roofing material and concrete
asbestos products are examples of miscellaneous ACM
4.3. Current Asbestos Regulations
The following is a summary of select major state and federal asbestos
regulations. These summaries are not intended to be a comprehensive
discussion of the specific regulations. In addition, this summary is not an all-
inclusive overview of the asbestos regulatory universe.
Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal-OSHA) Ï Title
8 CCR § 1529
On July 2, 1996, Cal-OSHA implemented revised general industry and
construction asbestos standards, which apply to all occupational exposure to
asbestos. The new Cal-OSHA construction standard requires owners of
buildings built prior to 1981 to presume that a variety of building materials
contain asbestos unless they are sampled and proved to not contain asbestos.
Employers whose employees work in these same buildings face the same
responsibility to either test materials or treat them as ACM.
The standard describes four classes of asbestos-related work: I) removal of
asbestos thermal systems insulation and surfacing materials, II) removal of
asbestos material which are not thermal systems insulation or surfacing
materials, III) repair and maintenance operations where small amounts of
asbestos or presumed asbestos (PACM) is likely to be disturbed, and IV)
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, II, and III activities. For each class, OSHA specifies
the type of training, work practices, air sampling, and personal protection
required of the employer and worker. This new regulation is a jobs based
standard. Specific notifications and work practices are required if asbestos
will be disturbed.
EPA's NESHAP Regulation Ï 40 CFR Part 61, Subpart M
NESHAP requires building owners to inspect a building for asbestos prior to
renovation or demolition. The EPA must be notified in advance of all
demolition (whether there is asbestos present or not) and if more than 160
square feet, 260 linear feet, or 35 cubic feet of Regulated Asbestos Containing
Materials (RACM) are going to be disturbed during renovation. RACM must
be removed before any demolition or renovation work disturbs it. Specific
work practices must be followed during the removal of RACM. RACM must
33
Ï 5 Ï June 17, 2015
be adequately wet when disturbed and must remain wet until placed in leak
proof containers. No visible emissions are allowed during collection,
packaging, transportation, or disposal of RACM. Records must be kept
regarding the transportation and disposal of RACM.
In many areas, including the Solano Area, the federal NESHAP regulation is
enforced by the local air quality management district (AQMD). In many
cases, EPA has "delegated" NESHAP enforcement to these local agencies.
Each AQMD has developed an enforcement regulation based on the NESHAP
regulation, and in many instances these local regulations are more stringent
then the Federal EPA NESHAP regulation

5.1. Lead Standards
The following is a discussion of the lead paint, dust, and soil standards
established by the California Department of Health Services (DHS),
California Occupational Safety and Health Administration (Cal OSHA),
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and U.S. Department of Housing
and Urban Development (HUD). These standards were used to compare with
the sample results obtained during the risk assessment of the subject
property
5.2. Lead-Based Paint and Lead-Containing Materials
The DHS, EPA, and HUD define "lead-based paint" (LBP) as any surface
coating which contains a lead content of 5,000 parts per million (ppm) (or
0.5% by weight) or greater. Accordingly, surface coatings containing a lead
content below these levels are not considered LBP and are not considered a
hazard as defined by DHS, EPA, and HUD. LBP can present a lead hazard if
the paint is damaged or deteriorated.
Cal OSHA defines lead-based paint at the Consumer Product Safety
Commission's (CPAC) level of 600 ppm for non-trigger tasks (trigger tasks
are discussed in the Lead-based Paint Regulation section of this report).
However, when trigger tasks are conducted, the Cal OSHA regulation must
be followed when there is any detectable lead in the product being
disturbed.

5.3. Lead In Dust
The DHS, EPA, and HUD have each established lead in dust standards to define the
presence of a lead hazard. According to these agencies, a lead hazard is determined to be
present when lead wipe sample results are at or above the following hazard levels.
Sample Location Hazard Level
Hard Floors 40 µm/sq ft (50 DHS)
Interior Window Sills 250 µm/sq ft
Exterior floors & horizontal window surfaces 400 µm/sq ft
5.4. LEAD-BASED PAINT REGULATIONS
5.4.1. California Department of Health Services (DHS) - Title 17,
CCR, Division 1, Chapter 8, Sections 35000-361000
The DHS has implemented a comprehensive regulation that provides
an accreditation process for lead training providers and professionals.
This regulation requires anyone conducting lead paint surveys, risk
assessments, lead paint abatement and lead hazard reduction work in
any public or residential building to be DHS trained and certified.
A written abatement plan describing exposure prevention procedures,
abatement methods, items to be abated, re-survey recommendations,
and instructions on how to maintain potential lead hazards in a safe
condition is required for all abatement work. DHS also requires
notification of upcoming abatement work on Form 8551. This form
must be posted at all job site entrances five days before abatement
begins.
The standard requires inclusion of certain elements in each hazard
evaluation report including a copy of DHS Form 8552. In addition, the
standard requires the use of HUD guidelines when performing lead
risk assessments, surveys, monitoring, abatement and interim control
work
5.5. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) - Title X
Under the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992 (Title X)
Congress required the EPA to take on many responsibilities. A few of the
key issues are discussed below.
On August 28, 1996, the EPA issued a model lead training and
accreditation regulation. States were given two years to develop their own
programs or adopt the EPA program. In California, the Department of
35
Ï 7 Ï June 17, 2015
Health Services (DHS) has developed a state training and accreditation
program, which is currently in effect.
In March 1996, the EPA issued the Real Estate Notification and Disclosure
Rule. This rule requires owners of all private housing built before 1978 to
take four actions, as follows:
1. Disclose any known hazards to potential buyers or renters.
2. Give potential buyers or renters the EPA/HUD lead disclosure
pamphlet titled "Protect Your Family from Lead In Your
Home."
3. Allow potential buyers ten days to conduct an optional survey
or risk assessment.
4. Add language to real-estate contracts that confirms compliance
with the activities described above.
The EPA's objective is to control renovation and remodeling work done in
homes that might create lead dust hazards. In May 1998, they issued a
regulation that will take effect in June 1999 requiring contractors working
in pre-1978 homes to notify the owner if they will disturb more that two
square feet of lead-paint
5.6. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
HUD was the first agency to develop lead standards. By the end of the
1980's, HUD was developing numerous regulations and guidance
documents to be used on HUD funded properties. In 1989, HUD published
the most comprehensive lead guidance document for survey and
management of lead paint hazards to date. A new guidance document
("Guidelines for the Evaluation and Control of Lead-Based Paint Hazards in
Housing") for risk assessments, surveys, interim controls, and abatement of
lead-based paint hazards replaced the old standard in August 1995.
Chapter 7 of the 1995 guideline was revised in October 1997.
The new HUD Standard remains the most comprehensive lead risk
assessment, survey, management, and abatement guidance document.
Many other federal, state, and local regulations mandate compliance with
HUD Guidelines
5.7. California Occupational Safety and Health Administration - CCR
Title 8 § 1532
Cal OSHA regulations are designed to regulate and enforce on-the-job
worker safety. Employers are required by law to ensure that employees are
not exposed to airborne lead levels which exceed the permissible exposure
3
limit (PEL) of 50 micrograms of lead per cubic meter of air (50 µg/m) over
an 8 hour time weighted average (TWA). Both California and Federal
OSHA standards requires worker training, air monitoring to determine
work exposure to lead, initial blood testing, personal protective equipment,
and specific work practices and engineering controls whenever employees
36
Ï 8 Ï June 17, 2015
disturb lead in any concentration (including less than 600 ppm) where
the disturbance will result in exposures to airborne lead in concentrations
over the OSHA Action Limit or PEL.
5.8. OSHA mandates that an employer assume the PEL will be exceeded when
conducting "trigger activities". The Cal OSHA standard also requires DHS
lead training and certification for any supervisors or workers who are
shown to be exposed to airborne lead levels above the PEL
6. Exclusions and Report Limitations
6.1. This report has been prepared by HTA for the exclusive use of HTA and its
client, and not for use by any other party. The sampling results discussed
in this report may not be appropriate for uses beyond its intended purpose
and stated scope. Any use by a third party of any of the information

8.2. Analysis of sample #24 (carpet/mastic sample) was reported to contain
brown tile. The possibility of carpet laid over asbestos containing tiles
exists in this structure. All floor tiles should be assumed to be ACM.
8.3. The lead paint sample from the door was a composite sample of the door
and steel structure of the building. The painted steel surfaces of the
supporting wall structure should be assumed to contain lead based paint.

TREE MANAGEMENT GUIDELINES AND POLICIES
FOR THE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF CITY PROPERTY
6.1.1 Conservation of Landmark Trees: These are individual trees that are considered
unique because of size, species, historical significance, and shall be given extra
protections and consideration for retention. Refer to the Glossary of Terms.
6.1.2 Conservation of Commemorative Program Trees: These are individual trees or
groves purchased by someone from the City of Ukiah to memorialize an
individual or group. Refer to the Glossary of Terms.
6.1.3 Existing Trees: Staff shall change use patterns in root zones whenever practical.
For example: Vehicles parked or materials stored in the root zone shall be
subject to an education and/or enforcement campaign to reverse the damage to
the tree roots; pathways causing excessive compaction around tree roots shall
be relocated if other options are deemed insufficient. Fencing, boulders, logs
and landscaping are reasonable deterrents to reduce further damage and shall
be used whenever practical. Refer to ISA BMP
.
6.1.4 Special consideration shall be given for unique situations. Every effort shall be
made to protect trees growing near underground streams.
6.1.5 Storm water flooding and sedimentation of drainage areas shall be properly
considered before tree removal.
6.1.6 The relationship of vegetation to slope stability will be a primary consideration in
all proposed vegetation management on slopes.
6.1.7 Diseased or Infested Plants That Pose Risk to Trees: Action shall be taken to
effectively decrease risk to other trees from pests and diseases. This may
include removal and destruction of affected materials, pesticide treatments
and/or alternative cultural practices. Other qualified experts shall be consulted
as needed. Refer to ISA BMP
.
6.1.8 Damage, Vandalism and Illegal Cutting: Action shall be taken whenever possible
to investigate and prosecute vandalism and illegal cutting of city-owned trees.
Compensation for damages shall be sought based on the appraised value in
accordance with The Guide for Plant Appraisal as authored by the Council of Tree
and Landscape Appraisers.
6.2 Planting: Planning before planting can ensure that the right tree is planted in the right
location. Proper tree selection and placement prevents tree damage and costly
maintenance like trimming. Consideration of water requirements and climate and
surrounding infrastructure such as sidewalks, sewer lines and overhead/underground
power lines shall improve the chances for optimum growth potential. Refer to the
;
ISA BMP and ISA BMP.
6.3 Root Environment and Tree Root Zones: Refer to the Glossary of Terms. Whenever
feasible, a pro-active program of cultural practices shall be implemented to maintain the
health and vitality of City trees. Refer to ISA BMP .
6.3.1 Trees in parks, fields and all other areas both developed and undeveloped:
48
City of Ukiah Tree Management Guidelines

TREE MANAGEMENT GUIDELINES AND POLICIES
FOR THE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF CITY PROPERTY
6.3.1.1 Soil Compaction: Every effort shall be made to avoid the
compaction of soil in root zones and to encourage penetration of
rainfall deep into the soil.
6.3.1.2 Mulch: Organic material such as mulch and leaves shall not be
removed
under the tree canopy.
6.3.1.3 Crews shall, when feasible and practical, establish and maintain
the areas under tree canopies free of turf and invasive plant
species. The use of native grasses and plants are encouraged, as
are plants associated with the trees above them. Special
consideration shall be given to oak trees and the use of drought
tolerant plants near them.
6.3.1.4 Parking: Vehicles and equipment should be parked on paved
areas, streets and parking lots.
6.3.1.5 Pavement: The use of pavement within park and garden areas
shall be limited as much as possible, especially under tree
canopies. Whenever pavement is necessary the use of
permeable materials is preferred. Remove the affected curb and
damaged or cracked pavement due to root uplift when feasible.
Level the section with mulch, chips, sand, or gravel rather than
replacing the area with impervious materials.
6.3.1.6 Leaf Blowers: The use of leaf blowers is discouraged. Leaf
blowers should not be used to blow debris with native soil.
6.3.1.7 Pesticides: The use of pesticides is discouraged. Please refer
to the City
Integrated Pest Management policy.
6.3.1.8 Stakes: In the unusual situation when stakes are needed they
should be driven in outside the root ball. ISA BMP Tree Support
Systems shall be followed.
6.4 Construction around Trees: Protection devices shall be installed to protect the tree
and root zones when near or within construction zones. The root system extends at
least to the edge of the canopy or drip line of the tree with most of the fine feeder roots
active in the top few inches of the soil. These roots need air to stay healthy in order to
provide the tree with nutrients and water. This root zone shall be protected from
compaction, changes in soil grade, digging, or other disturbances.
Protective fencing and warning signage will be required around the root zone. All tree
protection devices shall be visible, well-anchored, and approved in the field by the
Supervisor or designee prior to clearing, grading, or beginning of construction and shall
remain in place and maintained until the project is completed. Refer to
and
49
City of Ukiah Tree Management Guidelines

TREE MANAGEMENT GUIDELINES AND POLICIES
FOR THE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF CITY PROPERTY
6.5 Consultation with a Qualified Arboricultural Professional: When planning and
designing a public improvement project the City shall seek the appropriate qualified
expert when the project involves or is near a tree or trees.
6.6 Pruning Standards: The latest pruning standards established by the International
Society of Arboriculture shall be used in the maintenance of trees and are detailed in the
ISA Best Maintenance Practice booklets. Refer to ISA BMP ; ISA BMP
. Such maintenance will include:
6.6.1 General pruning for clearance to prevent injuries and to facilitate maintenance
and vehicle clearance.
6.6.2 Pruning dead, dying, and diseased sections to improve the health and
appearance of the tree and to prevent accidents.
6.6.3 Pruning for clearance around lighting and overhead lines.
6.6.4 Pruning back for authorized passage on service roads, walkways
and paths.
6.6.5 Pruning requested by a private property owner. Such requests do not obligate
the Department to prune trees, shrubs, and/or vegetation. It is the responsibility
of the business owner to plan their signage so that visibility is not affected by
growing trees.
6.6.6 Pruning in park areas identified as places of illegal or inappropriate activity in
order to improve general visibility and increased police surveillance.
6.7 Birds and Nesting: Except in emergencies nesting birds or nests shall not be disturbed
or harassed by pruning or removal activities. To avoid nesting season such activities shall
occur between September 1st and March 31st. Fish and Game Code 3503: "It is unlawful
to take, possess, or needlessly destroy the nest or eggs of any bird..." The Migratory
Birds Treaty Act of 1918 also applies.
6.8 Unnecessary Wounding:
promoting decay, as well as unnatural, dense and weak branching structure, topping
shall not be practiced or permitted except under special circumstances. Not only can a
tree sustain wounds to the branches or top, it can also sustain wounds to the trunk.
Therefore, these policies shall reinforce the protection of the trunk area from wounds
associated with a lawn mower or other equipment.
6.9 Hazardous Tree Management: Public health, safety and general welfare will be
maintained through the use of generally accepted professional practices of evaluation and
treatment to reduce risks to people and property from hazardous trees. Attention to proper
selection, planting and maintenance of new trees shall also be pursued to achieve long-
term risk reduction.
6.9.1 The City of Ukiah shall assess and manage the risk of tree failure within the
limits of available fiscal and human resources. Priority shall be given to locations
and situations with high probability of failure and high potential damage or injury
that may result.

TREE MANAGEMENT GUIDELINES AND POLICIES
FOR THE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF CITY PROPERTY
6.9.2 Notwithstanding an immediate hazard to safety and/or property, the City shall
utilize a written tree risk assessment methodology established by the ISA (ISA
Basic Tree Risk Assessment Form or equivalent) to evaluate the likelihood that
part or all of a tree will fail and cause damage and/or injury by a qualified
arboricultural professional. The components of the assessment shall include tree
health, species profile, site factors, history of failures, tree defects/conditions,
target assessment, risk categorization, mitigation options and recommend
inspection intervals when warranted.
6.9.3 Corrective action for high hazard rated trees shall be reasonable and prudent and
may include:
Moving any at-risk structures, equipment, fixtures or recreational sites;
7.0 Tree Removal: The City shall provide 72 hours of advance notice of the intended tree
or trees that shall be removed by posting a sign at the work site when feasible. The sign
telephone number that the public may contact for further information. Tree removal will
include:
7.0.1 Trees that pose substantial risk or hazard to the public, adjacent properties or to
public facilities.
7.0.2 Dead, dying or diseased trees.
7.0.3 Removal from properties being improved or developed under an approved
design, however, prior consideration to retention shall be given whenever
possible. Preference is to retain existing healthy trees when designing any
development rather than attempting mitigation.
7.0.4 Trees that block trails, drains or otherwise obstruct the use and function of
infrastructure elements.
7.0.5 Trees on sites that were over planted by design or are crowded from natural
competition. As the landscape grows, the Supervisor with consultation with a
qualified expert shall selectively remove trees on a site to maintain spacing for
optimal tree growth and function.
7.0.6 Removal requested by a private property owner. However, such requests do not
obligate the City of Ukiah to remove or allow removal of any trees, shrubs,
and/or vegetation.
7.0.7 Consideration shall be given for providing trunk and limbs for service projects
such as constructing benches and picnic tables. The use of wood chips for
mulching material around trees and vegetation in the parks is encouraged.
7.0.8 Any person aggrieved or impacted by a decision to remove a tree may appeal
the decision during the noticing period. A letter stating the reason(s) for the
51

determination.
determination and must be accompanied by supporting documentation from a
qualified arboricultural professional using the same tree risk assessment
methodology established by the ISA as detailed in Section 6.9.2.
7.1 Tree Replacement: At least one tree shall be planted for every tree that is removed
from City property. Replacement tree species shall be selected so that overall mature
canopy volume will be maintained or increased. It is preferable to plant the replacement
l
Section 6.2). New locations should be found on the same site or in the same
neighborhood at a location of similar or greater value. Preference shall be given for
planting native trees whenever feasible.
7.2 Replacement Plantings: The City shall undertake the task of replacement plantings to
mitigate the effects of vegetation removal and to reestablish the landscape and increase
overall mature forest canopy. The City shall determine the species of tree to be planted
on City property and the planting location. Every effort shall be made to select a species
compatible with the existing tree plantings on the street, the neighborhood identity, the
maturity of the trees, space available for growth, the presence of underground and
overhead utility lines, utility poles, streetlights, driveway approaches and fire hydrants.
7.3 Phasing: The City of Ukiah when appropriate shall consider a phased approach to
vegetation management to reduce potential short-term negative aesthetic and/or wildlife
habitat impacts (associated with such actions).
7.4 Wildlife and Habitat: Trees and forested areas are recognized as important habitat for
native wildlife and providing vital wildlife corridors. Trees, undeveloped landscapes and
creeks will be managed to optimize them for wildlife habitat. Refer to the City of Ukiah
Creeks Maintenance Policies and Procedures.
8.0 SUMMARY
These guidelines are set in place to enhance the urban forest within the City of Ukiah. As
industry standards change in regard to tree care, this document shall remain flexible to
incorporate needed changes.
