This is an environmental mold assessment report from Southeast Environmental Microbiology Laboratories (SEEML) dated November 22, 2024, for a Bureau of Indian Affairs facility in Horton, KS. The report documents findings from spore trap sampling and surface/bulk sampling conducted at multiple locations including exterior areas, hallways, offices, basement, storage rooms, and server rooms.

The assessment identified several types of mold with Cladosporium and Penicillium/Aspergillus being the most prevalent species detected. Sample results showed spore counts ranging from 21 to 2,670 spores/m³ across different locations, with the highest concentrations found in exterior samples. The report includes detailed fungal descriptions, mycotoxin information, and general terminology related to mold assessment. The laboratory analysis was conducted using direct microscopy examination methods following SEEML SOP 7 for spore traps and SOP 18 for surface sampling. This assessment appears to be part of the documentation supporting a mold remediation solicitation (140A0325Q0004) for this facility.
