About this file

This is a Hazardous Materials Report prepared by GeoEnvironmental Resources, Inc. for Woolpert, Inc., on behalf of the City of Suffolk, Virginia, for the renovation of the former Virginian Pilot Building located at 157 N Main Street, Suffolk, VA. The report documents comprehensive hazardous materials sampling and analysis conducted during inspections on October 15, 2025, June 19, 2026, and July 2026 to identify asbestos-containing materials (ACM), lead-based paint (LBP), mold, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), mercury-containing equipment, and other hazardous materials prior to planned interior and roof renovations. One hundred four bulk samples of suspect ACM were collected and analyzed, along with six paint chip samples and two mold tape lift samples. The project scope includes removal and replacement of interior partition walls, plumbing fixtures, HVAC equipment, ceilings, and roof on the first floor, a small portion of the second floor, and the roof of the approximately 38,380 square-foot building constructed circa 1950.

The laboratory analysis identified multiple asbestos-containing materials requiring abatement or controlled demolition procedures, including friable exterior light well window glazing (5% Chrysotile, 100 linear feet), non-friable floor tiles and mastic containing 2% to 4% Chrysotile (totaling approximately 16,554 square feet of residual black mastic), black mastic on HVAC ducts (3% to 10% Chrysotile, 5,104 square feet), exterior asbestos cement ceiling panels (15% Chrysotile, 767 square feet), parapet wall flashing (2% to 8% Chrysotile, 2,500 square feet), and an estimated 200 square feet of wall cavity waterproofing and ten fire-rated doors assumed to contain ACM. Paint sampling identified lead-based paint on structural steel and cadmium and chromium concentrations above laboratory detection limits in multiple samples. Mold growth was confirmed on exposed brick on the south interior wall, with quantitative spore counts indicating Ascospores and Cladosporium species. The report specifies that all ACM disturbance must be performed by Virginia Licensed Asbestos Abatement Contractors in accordance with federal and state regulations including 29 CFR 1926.1101, 40 CFR 61, and Virginia regulations. All demolition debris containing ACM must be transported to landfills accepting Category I and II non-friable ACM, and all painted surfaces must be properly characterized prior to disposal to ensure compliance with EPA RCRA regulations and leachable metal limits.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

It is our understanding a renovation is planned for 157 N. Main street in Suffolk, VA. Renovations are to include removal and replacement of interior partition walls, removal and replacement of plumbing fixtures, removal and replacement of HVAC equipment, ceiling replacement and roof replacement.

The renovation work is limited to the first floor and a small portion of the second floor and the roof.

The renovation/demolition will require disturbance of existing suspect hazardous materials associated with the renovation project. Prior to the demolition work, existing hazardous materials must be identified and appropriate precautions taken prior to their disturbance in order to protect workers and the environment.

At the time of our initial inspection in October 2025 the building was generally intact with interior walls and ceilings. When we conducted our site inspection in July 2026, the interior of the building was generally gutted. Interior walls and ceilings were demolished.

SAMPLING METHODOLOGIES

SUSPECT ASBESTOS-CONTAINING MATERIALS

(ACM)

The AHERA regulation, 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 763, is the primary governing regulation when performing asbestos surveys. This regulation was originally enacted for school buildings, but has since been applied to public and commercial buildings by the Asbestos School Hazard Abatement Reauthorization Act (ASHARA) in 1994 and by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) worker protection regulations in 1995, specifically 29 CFR 1926.1101(k).

The demolition of structures is also subject to 40 CFR Part 61 “National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants” (NESHAPs).

Asbestos-Containing Material (ACM) is specifically addressed in 40 CFR 61 Subpart M “National Emission Standard for Asbestos.”

ACM is generally divided into three primary classifications as follows: (a) Surfacing material, (b) Thermal System Insulation, and (c) Miscellaneous material. These classifications are defined in 40 CFR 763.83 as provided below.

Miscellaneous material means interior building on structural components, structural members or fixtures, such as floor and ceiling tiles, and does not include surfacing material or thermal system insulation.

Surfacing material means material in a building that is sprayed-on, troweled-on, or otherwise applied to surfaces, such as acoustical plaster on ceilings and fireproofing materials on Page 5structural members, or other materials on surfaces for acoustical, fireproofing, or other purposes.

Thermal system insulation means material in a building applied to pipes, fittings, boilers, breeching, tanks, ducts, or other interior structural components to prevent heat loss or gain, or water condensation, or for other purposes.

The sampling methodologies employed to address the ACM categories described above are as follows:

Surfacing material – An accredited inspector shall collect, in a statistically random manner that is representative of the homogeneous are, bulk samples from each homogeneous area of friable surfacing material that is not assumed to be ACM, and shall collect the samples as follows:

(1) At least three bulk samples shall be collected from each homogeneous area that is 1,000 SF or less.

(2) At least five bulk samples shall be collected from each homogeneous area that is greater than 1,000 SF but less than or equal to 5,000 SF.

GER

GER 130-8410

Woolpert #10015069.02

(3) At least seven bulk samples shall be collected from each homogeneous area that is greater than 5,000 SF.

Thermal system insulation - An accredited inspector shall collect the samples as follows:

(1) At least three bulk samples, in a random distributed manner from each homogeneous area of thermal system insulation that is not assumed to be ACM.

(2) Collect at least one bulk sample from each homogeneous are of patched thermal system insulation that is not assumed to be ACM if the patched section is less than 6 linear or square feet.

(3) In a manner sufficient to determine whether the material is ACM or not ACM, collect bulk samples from each insulated mechanical system that is not assumed to be ACM where cement or plaster is used on fittings such as tees, elbows, or valves.

(4) Bulk samples are not required to be collected from any homogeneous area where the accredited inspector has determined that the thermal system insulation is fiberglass, foam glass, rubber, or other non-ACBM.

Miscellaneous material - An accredited inspector shall collect the samples as follows:

(1) In a manner sufficient to determine whether material is ACM or not ACM from each homogeneous area of friable miscellaneous material that is not assumed to be ACM.

Non friable suspected ACBM - An accredited inspector shall collect the samples as follows:

If any homogeneous area of non friable suspected ACBM is not assumed to be ACM, then an accredited inspector shall collect, in a manner sufficient to determine whether the material is ACM or not ACM, bulk samples from the homogeneous are of non friable suspected ACBM that is not assumed to be ACM.

LEAD BASED PAINT (LBP)

Testing of painted surfaces for lead, cadmium and chromium was conducted by collecting bulk paint chip samples from various painted surfaces. It is important to note that this inspection was not intended to meet the requirements of HUD sampling protocols for lead paint and was not a comprehensive, surface-by-surface evaluation, but rather a screening inspection of major painted components, which may contain LBP.

MOLD WIPE AND TAPE LIFT SAMPLING

Mold samples were collected using tape lifts. Each sample was collected from surface areas exhibiting visual dust accumulations and or suspect fungal growth. Each tape lift sample was collected using clean disposable gloves.

The tape lift samples were collected using clean, laboratory provided Zefron Bio-Tape tape slides as follows:

1. Remove slide from provided slide mailer.

2. Document the sample location on the slide label and complete any required documentation for the laboratory.

3. Peel off protective liner from slide to expose adhesive.

4. Place slide with the adhesive side down on the surface to be sampled. (Use the centering line to orient the adhesive over the exact sample location desired).

5. Gently press down to ensure contact is made.

Do not press down hard. The adhesive is very tacky and only needs to be pressed gently.

6. Carefully remove slide from surface and place back into slide mailer. Do Not replace the plastic “Peel” liner.

7. Send slide to laboratory for analysis using chain-of-custody control.

ANALYTICAL METHODS

SUSPECT ASBESTOS-CONTAINING MATERIALS

ASBESTOS DISCUSSION

The EPA defines ACM as any material which contains greater than 1% asbestos by weight.

Laboratory analysis of bulk samples collected during the field investigation identified ACM in the building. The ACM is categorized as follows:

Assumed Friable ACM Fire Doors - Destructive techniques were not used to determine whether the existing fire rated doors contained ACM. The inspection techniques would have voided the doors fire rating. The fire rated doors are assumed to contain asbestos until proven otherwise.

Estimated Quantity: 10 Each.

Former Virginian Pilot Building GER 130-8410 Page 4

Exterior wall cavity waterproofing - Destructive techniques were not used to determine whether the existing wall construction contained ACM. The inspection techniques would have required the removal of exterior bricks which we didn’t feel comfortable matching. The wall cavity is assumed to contain asbestos waterproofing until proven otherwise. The wall cavity waterproofing may be disturbed during the window lintel repairs.

Estimated Quantity: 200 SF.

Friable ACM Exterior light well window glazing (5%

Chrysotile) - The ACM window glazing can be found on the exterior light well windows on the roof. The material was weathered and damaged. Estimated Quantity: 100 LF.

Non - Friable ACM Green 12-inch floor tile with tan mastic and residual black mastic (3% - 4% Chrysotile) - The floor tile was observed on the 2nd floor where renovations are planned.

The black mastic was determined to be ACM.

NESHAP classifies the floor tile and mastic as Category I non-friable ACM. The material was in good condition. Estimated Quantity: 227 Square Feet.

Residual black mastic associated with carpet, resilient flooring and floor leveling compound (2% - 4% Chrysotile) - Residual black mastic associated with carpet, resilient flooring and floor leveling compound was observed across the first floor. The black mastic appears to be a residual material possibly associated with a previous floor tile.

The residual black mastic was determined to be ACM. NESHAP classifies the residual mastic as Category I non-friable ACM. The material was in good condition. Estimated Quantity:

16,554 Square Feet.

Black sealant and silver paint on light well base flashing, roof level (2% Chrysotile) - This material was observed on the roof level at the base of the brick light well.

The silver paint was determined to be ACM.

NESHAP classifies the floor tile and mastic as Category II ACM. The material was in good condition. Estimated Quantity: 50 Square Feet.

Black mastic on metal HVAC ducts (3% - 8% - 10% Chrysotile) - The black mastic was observed on the joints of the metal HVAC ducts located above the existing ceilings. The HVAC ducts appeared to be abandoned. The black mastic was determined to be ACM.

NESHAP classifies the black mastic as Category II non-friable ACM. The material was in good condition. Estimated Quantity: 5,104 Square Feet.

Exterior asbestos cement ceiling panel (15% Chrysotile) - The ceiling panel was observed above the building’s entrance doors on Main Street. NESHAP classifies the material as Category II non-friable ACM. The material was in good condition. Estimated Quantity:

767 Square Feet.

Parapet wall flashing and silver paint, roof level (2-8% Chrysotile) - This material was observed under single-ply roofing on the roof level around the perimeter of the roof. The silver paint and asphalt flashing were determined to be ACM. NESHAP classifies the material as a Category I ACM. The material was in good condition. Estimated Quantity: 2500 Square Feet.

Black sealant/adhesive on south interior CMU wall (2% Chrysotile) - The black sealant was observed on the south interior CMU wall adjacent to a stairway. The material was not friable and was classified as NESHAP Category II ACM. The material was in good condition. Estimated Quantity: 200 Square Feet.

If during the project unexpected materials are identified or uncovered they must be assumed to be ACM until proven otherwise. Exercise extreme caution when opening concealed areas to prevent any inadvertent ACM fiber releases.

Any disturbance of ACM must be performed by a Virginia Licensed Asbestos Abatement Contractor.

Friable ACM or material that may be rendered friable must be removed prior to demolition.

Removal of Category I & II non-friable ACM is not required, prior to demolition, if the material is in good condition and is not friable. However, wet methods must be used during the demolition process and personal and area monitoring should be performed. Additionally, all demolition debris must be considered asbestos containing and be

Former Virginian Pilot Building GER 130-8410 Page 5 taken to a landfill that accepts Category I and II non-friable ACM. Therefore recycling will not be permitted, unless the ACM is abated prior to demolition.

If asbestos abatement work is necessary due to unforeseen conditions, it must be performed in accordance with local, state and Federal regulations including but not limited to:

29CFR1926.1101 - Asbestos 40CFR61 - National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants.

9VAC 20-81 - Virginia Solid Waste Management Regulations.

18VAC 15-20 - Virginia Asbestos Licensing Regulations.

PAINT SAMPLING

Six (6) paint chip samples were collected from painted surfaces in the building. The attached Table 2 summarizes the samples collected and their laboratory results. The laboratory analytical results are contained in Section 2. The purpose of our sampling was to obtain representative data on the concentrations of lead, cadmium and chromium in the existing painted surfaces scheduled to be disturbed by the work. Paint samples were collected from painted surfaces that may be disturbed by the planned renovation work.

LEAD, CADMIUM, & CHROMIUM PAINT

DISCUSSION

There are two frequently used standards to define lead-based paint, the Consumer Product and Safety Commission (CPSC) and the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). In 1978, the CPSC, acting under the authority of the Consumer Product Safety Act, banned the sale of paint containing more than 0.06% lead by weight to consumers. The Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 lowered the concentration of lead in paint that is permissible from 0.06% (600 ppm) to the new limit of 0.009% (90ppm), for specific paints and products. Paint which contains more than 0.009% lead by weight is defined as lead containing paint (LCP).

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) defines Lead-based paint (LBP) as any paint, varnish, shellac, or other coating that contains lead equal to or greater than

1.0 mg/cm2 as measured by X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzer or laboratory analysis, or 0.5% by weight as measured by laboratory analysis.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Lead in Construction Standard (29 CFR 1926.62) does not define lead-based paint.

However, to comply with OSHA, all painted surfaces with a lead concentration at or above the laboratory’s minimum detection limit (MDL) should be considered lead containing. Compliance with this standard is required even for paints with less than 0.5% or 0.009% lead by weight. Therefore, painted surfaces exceeding the MDL should not be disturbed without taking the appropriate precautions when performing certain high risk tasks. Activities such as scraping, sanding, welding/torching and disturbance of painted surfaces could potentially release leaded dust.

OSHA has categorized the following high risks tasks into three groups:

Group 1: manual demolition manual scraping heat-gun applications power tool cleaning with dust collection system spray paint with lead-based paints

Group 2: lead burning using lead-containing mortar power tool cleaning without dust collection system rivet blasting cleanup activities where dry expendable abrasives are used movement and removal of abrasive blasting enclosures

Group 3: abrasive blasting welding, cutting and burning on steel structures

Analytical results for lead paint indicate that four of the six samples collected and analyzed were found to have lead concentrations below the laboratory's minimum detection limit. The yellow paint on the structural steel was identified as LBP.

Former Virginian Pilot Building GER 130-8410 Page 6

Therefore, all existing painted surfaces scheduled for renovation/demolition should be considered lead containing for the purposes of complying with 29 CFR 1926.62 in order to protect workers and the environment.

Paints containing cadmium and chromium are often found as protective coatings on structural steel or exterior coatings on metal surfaces. These paints tend to be red, yellow or orange and are typically the first layer. The bulk paint chip samples were also analyzed for cadmium and chromium.

Three of the six samples collected and analyzed were found to have cadmium concentrations above the laboratory's minimum detection limit. Five of the six samples collected and analyzed were found to have chromium concentrations above the laboratory's minimum detection limit.

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) identifies chromium and cadmium as a confirmed carcinogen. Construction Standards established by OSHA for cadmium and lead are:

Chromium 29 CFR 1926.1126 Cadmium 29 CFR 1926.1127 Lead 29 CFR 1926.62

The permissible exposure limits (PEL) established by OSHA are 5 ug/m3 for cadmium, 5 ug/m3 for chromium (chromates) and 50 ug/m3 for lead. If the PEL is exceeded, appropriate measures must be taken to reduce the hazard and provide training and personal protective equipment.

The PEL is an airborne measurement to address worker exposure. There is no direct correlation between lead, cadmium, and chromium concentrations in paint and worker exposure. Only when these concentrations are below the laboratory’s MDL, is worker exposure not an issue.

Therefore, all existing painted surfaces scheduled for demolition should be considered lead, cadmium, and chromium containing for the purposes of complying with 29 CFR 1926.62, 29 CFR 1926.1127, and 29 CFR 1926.1126, and in order to protect workers and the environment.

Appropriate precautions should be taken during the disturbance of all painted surfaces to ensure protection of workers and the environment.

All paint disturbance work shall be performed in accordance with all local, state and Federal regulations to protect workers and the environment, including but not limited to:

29CFR 1926.62 - Lead.

29CFR 1926.1126 - Chromium.

29CFR 1926.1127 - Cadmium.

9VAC 20-60 - Virginia Hazardous Waste Management Regulations.

9VAC 20-81 - Virginia Solid Waste Management Regulations.

18VAC 15-30 - Virginia Lead-Based Paint Activity Regulations.

LEAD LINING

We observed a sheet of lead along the south interior wall (see photo #20). The sheet of lead appeared to be in the vicinity of a previous X-ray area in the building.

The sheet of lead was approximately 120 SF.

All lead disturbance work shall be performed in accordance with all local, state and Federal regulations to protect workers and the environment, including but not limited to:

29CFR 1926.62 - Lead.

9VAC 20-60 - Virginia Hazardous Waste Management Regulations.

9VAC 20-81 - Virginia Solid Waste Management Regulations.

WASTE CLASSIFICATION FOR PAINTED

BUILDING COMPONENTS

Building components and demolition waste streams which are painted must be properly characterized prior to disposal. The EPA RCRA regulations establish the limits for RCRA leachable metals.

Leachable metals means the concentration of metals likely to leach from the waste into the surrounding soil/groundwater system of a landfill.

The leachable concentration of chemicals in a waste stream is determined by an analytical method named TCLP. Waste stream TCLP concentrations that equal or exceed the RCRA limits shown in Table A are hazardous and must be

Former Virginian Pilot Building GER 130-8410 Page 7 transported to a hazardous waste treatment, storage, or disposal facility. Precautions should be implemented to prevent the storage of any hazardous waste for more the 90 days. Specific permits are necessary to store hazardous waste in excess of 90 days.

The contractor must be required to characterize the waste stream generated during the project to ensure the waste stream is nonhazardous. If the waste stream is determined to be hazardous, special management procedures will be required.

FLUORESCENT LIGHTS AND

POLYCHLORINATED BIPHENYLS

On January 1, 1979, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) banned the manufacturing of light ballasts which contain PCB’s and phased out most PCB uses. Therefore, all light ballasts manufactured prior to January 1, 1979 without “Non-PCB” markings must be considered PCB containing. The EPA’s actions subjects all substances containing over 50 ppm PCBs to regulatory control (with the exception of PCB-contaminated waste oil which is prohibited at any level).

Our field investigation of existing light fixtures indicated the fixtures inside the buildings were a mixture of T-8, and T-12 fluorescent lamps, as well as LED fixtures. Approximately 820 T-8 and T-12 fluorescent lamps were observed in the building.

T-8 fixtures generally contain electronic ballasts which are not PCB containing.

Any non-electronic ballast not marked “No PCB’s” must be considered to contain PCB’s.

LOW LEVEL RADIOACTIVE COMPONENTS

The building was inspected for components that may contain low level radioactive (LLR) material such as smoke detectors and tritium containing exit signs.

Ionization smoke detectors contain a small amount of radioactive material, generally Americium-214 and use ionized particles to detect smoke.

Photoelectric smoke detectors use a light source or light sensor to detect smoke.

Smoke detectors were observed in the building.

The smoke detectors were not disassembled because they were energized. The smoke detectors did not appear to contain radioactive material, they appeared to be photoelectric smoke detectors;

however, to confirm they will have to be disassembled.

There are multiple types of emergency exit signs.

They can be electrically powered, photo luminescent (power free), or self-luminous (contain Tritium). Exit signs which contain Tritium are low level radioactive components (LLR). Fifteen emergency exit signs were observed in the building. The emergency exit signs in the building appeared to be electrically powered. They do not appear to be LLR.

EMERGENCY LIGHTING

The field investigation of existing lights in the buildings identified battery backup emergency light components in the building. Approximately 8 battery backup emergency light components were identified in the building’s first floor.

All battery backup emergency light components must be managed in accordance with all local, state and Federal regulations to protect workers and the environment, including but not limited to:

40CFR273 - Standards for Universal Waste Management.

9VAC 20-60 - Virginia Hazardous Waste Management Regulations.

9VAC 20-81 - Virginia Solid Waste Management Regulations.

MOLD VISUAL INSPECTION

A limited visual inspection was performed of the interior portions of the first floor of the building in July 2026.

Only accessible interior areas of the building were inspected for the presence of suspect mold, we did not attempt to move furniture or perform destructive testing in order to locate suspect mold.

During the inspection we observed a limited amount of mold growth on SACT and gypsum wallboard. The area of the mold impacted building materials was approximately 100 SF.

We performed another interior inspection of the first floor of the building in July 2026. At the time of the inspection the interior of the building had been demolished. The interior partition walls, ceilings and some HVAC ducts had been removed.

The mold impacted building materials discussed above had been removed.

The inspection in July 2026 identified a small area of exposed brick, approximately 25 SF, on the south wall of the first floor. The plaster lath covering the brick wall had been removed. The brick wall was discolored and thought to be impacted by mold growth.

MOLD SAMPLING

On July 30, 2026 two (2) mold tape lift samples, were collected from the exposed brick area on the south interior wall. The samples were placed under chain-of-custody control and forwarded to an accredited laboratory for analysis.

MOLD TAPE LIFT SAMPLES

Mold tape lift samples were collected from the following locations:

T1 - Exposed Brick, south interior wall. The sample was collected from a discolored area on the brick wall.

T2 - Exposed Brick, south interior wall. The sample was collected from a discolored area on the brick wall.

MOLD ANALYTICAL RESULTS

The mold tape lift sampling confirmed the presence of mold on both tape lift samples. The mold species identified on the tape lift samples are described in Table B below. The laboratory analytical results are provided in Table B below and in Section 2 of this report.

FUNGI

Ascospores species: Ascospores are microscopic spores produced by fungal species belonging to the Ascomycota. With over 64,000 species in this division (1), it is apparent that the term Ascospores covers a wide range and variety of spores.

However broad the term may be, a single airborne spore, upon reaching a suitable damp, humid environment, can easily develop into a multicellular fungal growth, more commonly known as a mold.

Apart from being aesthetically displeasing, the mold will release more spores into the surrounding air, potentially leading to health issues for any inhabitants.

Cladosporium species: The most commonly identified outdoor fungus. The outdoor numbers are reduced in the winter and are often high in the summer. Often found indoors in numbers less than outdoor numbers. It is commonly found on the surface of fiberglass duct liner in the interior of supply ducts. A wide variety of plants are food sources for this fungus. It is found on dead plants, woody plants, food, straw, soil, paint and textiles.

Often found in dirty refrigerators and especially in reservoirs where condensation is collected, on moist window frames it can easily be seen covering the whole painted area with a velvety olive green layer.

Typically, this mold thrives indoors and can be found in items such as carpets, fabrics, and under floorboards. Its appearance is characterized by a brown or occasionally olive-green hue with a texture that resembles suede. Inhaling Cladosporium spores can trigger an array of allergic responses, such as itchiness in the eyes, runny nose, sore throat, and skin infections. Additionally, it has been linked to respiratory problems like asthma, sinusitis, and lung infections.

MOLD DISCUSSION

There are three common types of mold: allergenic, pathogenic, and toxigenic molds.

Allergenic Molds Allergenic molds are the most common type of molds encountered in buildings. Some of the most common allergenic molds include:

Aspergillus: Often found on damp walls, insulation, and air conditioning systems.

Penicillium: Commonly encountered on decaying fabrics, wallpaper, and carpets.

Alternaria: Frequently discovered in the grout of bathrooms and damp window sills.

Cladosporium: Typically identified on textiles, wood surfaces, and damp indoor spaces.

These molds can cause allergic reactions, such as sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes, particularly in individuals with mold allergies.

Pathogenic Molds Pathogenic molds can cause infections, especially in people with weakened immune systems. Some of these molds are:

Aureobasidium: Often found on wooden surfaces, wallpaper, and painted surfaces.

Mucor: Commonly discovered in damp areas like basements and near air conditioning units.

Ulocladium: Usually located in wet building materials and damp indoor spaces.

Former Virginian Pilot Building GER 130-8410 Page 10

Toxigenic Molds Toxigenic molds produce toxic compounds called mycotoxins, which can adversely impact your health. The most notorious toxigenic mold is Stachybotrys, also known as “black mold.” It produces harmful substances that can lead to severe health problems. Other toxigenic molds include:

Chaetomium: Generally found on water-damaged building materials such as drywall and insulation.

Fusarium: Commonly grows on water-damaged carpets and fabrics.

Acremonium: Usually discovered in humidifiers, window sealants, and cooling coils.

Geotrichum: Can be found on decaying food and damp surfaces.

Exposure to toxigenic molds can lead to temporary irritation or even long-term illness, depending on the individual (2).

According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), molds are very common in buildings and homes and will grow anywhere indoors where there is moisture. The most common indoor molds are Cladosporium, Penicillium, Aspergillus and Alternaria.

There are no Federal or State standards for the interpretation of wipe or bulk samples.

Microbiological laboratories often categorize results for these types of samples as low, moderate, or high; the limits of these categories are arbitrary, but are based on extensive experience in the analysis of samples from residential and commercial sites.

The tape lift samples identified the presence of the following fungi:

1. Ascospores

2. Cladosporium Tape lift samples T1 and T2 were collected from a discolored area on the brick wall on the south interior wall on the first floor.

Quantitative spore counting identified 2,000 total spores per cm2 for T1 and 280 total spores per cm2 for T2. The quantitative spore count on tape lift sample T1 is approximately seven (7) times higher than tape lift sample T2. The presence of Cladosporium spores indicates the moisture was present at some point in time.

MOLD FINDINGS AND REMEDIATION

The inspection identified mold growth on the south interior brick wall, on the first floor, behind the plaster lath finish. This potentially indicates moisture may be penetrating the exterior brick wall. We did not observe other areas on the south interior wall where the plaster lath finish was missing.

We observed HVAC condensation drain pipes on the outside of the building, in the general vicinity of the exposed brick wall on the inside of the building.

The HVAC condensate may be negatively impacting the exterior brick wall along with other moisture intrusion events.

Removing the plaster lath finish on the south wall may allow for a better assessment of the existing brick wall system.

The mold is related to the building materials becoming wet either through lack of humidity control or water leaks. These conditions need to be corrected to ensure the mold growth does not continue.

Some of the spores identified indoors do have the potential to cause allergies, hay fever, asthma, and hypersensitivity pneumonitis in individuals and could have originated from outdoor sources.

All mold removal/remediation work should be completed in accordance with the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) document “Mold Remediation in Schools and Commercial Buildings.”
