Corpus Christi, Texas
RE: Naval Air Station Corpus Christi
Building 10, DLA Space, Second Floor
Corpus Christi, Texas
Dear Mr. Ortegon:
As requested, Mold Specialists of South Texas performed a limited mold investigation of the above-mentioned structure. The investigation was performed on August 10, 2021, by Bee Schuck, a licensed
Mold Assessment Technician (TDLR License Number MAT1118).
A description of the investigation is outlined in Appendix A. This report serves as documentation of
Mold Specialists of South Texas’ findings; however, the full extent of possible mold growth vertically and horizontally, within wall cavities, ceilings, floors, and other inaccessible areas is not known at this time.
A qualified professional should identify and properly correct/repair all sources of excessive moisture or water intrusion into the structure. A qualified professional would include an individual with experience in building, construction, and/or a specific trade such as plumbing, roofing, HVAC, etc. If moisture and water sources are not properly controlled, additional mold growth will likely result.
I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
• Four (4) indoor airborne mold samples were collected on the north-east side of the second floor of
Building 10 and compared to one (1) outdoor air sample. Compared to the outdoor air sample collected, the indoor air samples collected are considered unacceptable. High levels of
Aspergillus/Penicillium were shown to be present in the samples.
• Visible mold was observed on the ceiling throughout the north-east side of the second floor
(approximately 16,000 SF). Four (4) swab samples were collected and these samples indicated the presence of Aspergillus/Penicillium.
I. FINDINGS AND RESULTS
The findings of Mold Specialists of South Texas’ visual inspection, as well as the results of direct-read instrumentation and sample analyses are summarized below.
Surface Sampling Results
Suspected visible mold growth was observed throughout the entire ceiling of the north-east side of the second-floor. Representative samples from suspected mold-affected areas were collected using the methods outlined in Appendix B and analyzed by a TDLR licensed laboratory, Pace Analytical, Mount
Juliet, Tennessee.

Air Sample Results
The results of air sampling using Air-O-Cell™ cassettes are as follows:
Sample # Location Penicillium/Aspergillus
Fungal counts/ m3 Total fungal counts/ m3
3095 B02470; 02A 72 960
3104 B02280; 02A 120 1600

3105 B02060; 01A 102 1360
3083 Outside 11 147
The levels of total airborne Penicillium/Aspergillus present at the four air sampling sites within the second floor were higher than the outdoor levels. Since there are no acceptable federal, state, or local guidelines regarding mold, the comparison with reference samples is the most useful approach.
Reference samples are usually outdoor samples. In general, indoor mold concentrations should be similar to or lower than outdoor levels. No standards have been established for health effects or background limits. In accordance with current industry practices, which base initial assessments on comparisons with outside air samples, it is Mold Specialists of South Texas' opinion that the inside air results appear to be unacceptable.
CONCLUSIONS
Four (4) indoor airborne mold samples were collected in various locations within the second floor and compared to one (1) outdoor air sample. Compared to the outdoor air sample collected, the indoor air samples collected are considered unacceptable. High levels of Aspergillus/Penicillium were shown to be present in the samples.
Visible mold was observed throughout the second-floor ceiling. Swab samples collected from the ceilings above B02470 02A, B02270 04A and the top of a container located in B02130 all indicated the presence of Aspergillus/Penicillium.
A remediation protocol has been included in this report to properly remediate the mold growth and mold spore contamination. Only contractors with specific training in mold remediation techniques and equipment should perform mold remediation activities. Inadequately trained personnel can exacerbate the problem. In addition, contractors performing mold remediation for the public must be licensed by the
Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation.
Mold Specialists of South Texas also recognizes that ceiling and wall textures, ceiling tiles, joint tape and mud, linoleum, vinyl flooring, roof shingles and felt, and other building materials, may contain asbestos.
Testing of suspect asbestos-containing materials that may be disturbed during remediation is recommended.
Excessive moisture or sources of water apparently provided moisture for mold growth in the surrounding substrates. Prior to remedial activity, a qualified professional should identify and properly repair all water sources contributing to excessive moisture. If moisture and water sources are not properly controlled, mold growth will likely result.
IV. DETAILED REMEDIATION PROTOCOL
The following items are to be removed and/or remediated based on the initial assessment of the structure.
The full extent of mold growth, vertically and horizontally within the wall cavities, ceilings, floors, and other inaccessible areas is not known at this time. Testing and/or removal or remediation of additional building materials and contents may be necessary after the full extent of water and mold damage is exposed and methods of containment are in place.
Mold Specialists of South Texas recommend that items in the list below be removed/remediated following the general remediation guidelines found in Appendix C (unless otherwise indicated). These items include but are not limited to:
O Prior to remedial activity, a qualified professional should identify and properly correct/repair all sources of excessive moisture or water intrusion into the structure. A qualified professional would include an individual with experience in building, construction and/or a specific trade such as plumbing, roofing, HVAC, etc. If moisture and water sources are not properly controlled, additional mold growth will likely result.
O If suspect visible mold contamination is discovered to affect a total surface area of 25 contiguous square feet or more, proper notification to the TDLR is required.
O Clean the ceiling of Floor 2 and build a containment to isolate the floor of Floor 3 from the ceiling of
Floor 2. Condensation was visible on the ceiling of Floor 2 in areas B02170 02A; B02460 02A and 01A;
between B02770 and B0244C; between B02090 and B02260; and between B02070 and B02060.
Approximately 500 square feet of condensation was visible.
O The visible condensation on the ceiling of Floor 2 suggests the insulation between Floor 2 and Floor 3 is insufficient. A qualified professional should identify and properly correct this insufficiency or mold growth will continue.
O Clean all of the horizontal surfaces and containers present within Floor 2 as described in Appendix C.
O Inspect contents of crates for possible mold and water damage.
O Clean the flooring of Floor 2 with water accumulation as mold damaged. Water on the floor is considered mold infused; water was visible in areas B02470; between B02270 and B0244C; and between
B02060 01A and B02060 04A.
O Containment of the work area is recommended as described in Appendix C. This should include, at a minimum, 4-mil polyethylene sheeting from floor to ceiling, a decontamination chamber, the use of
HEPA filtered fan units to maintain negative pressure, and the use of dehumidifiers to maintain low relative humidity. Control of humidity is critical, the humidity on Floor 2 ranged from 69.0% to 74.4%.
O Personal protective equipment should include, at a minimum, gloves, full body disposable clothing, and a full-face respirator with a HEPA filter or half-face respirator with HEPA filter and goggles/eye protection.
O Visual observation, direct readings, and Air-O-Cell TM sampling will be used for post remediation testing. If no suspect visible mold is observed, and no wet building materials are identified, then the filtration and dehumidification equipment will be turned off and Air-O-Cell TM sampling conducted. If the level of fungal structures in the air inside the work area is lower than the outdoor level, then the containment area can be HEPA vacuumed, wet wiped, and polyethylene sheeting removed for proper disposal. The post remediation inspection will take place while walk-in containment is in place.
A drawing of the structure detailing areas of concern, and photographic documentation of these areas is found on the following pages.
V. LIMITATIONS OF THE MOLD INVESTIGATION
These preliminary visual inspections and laboratory analyses are designed as a first-tier study of the structure. The sampling performed is only accurate for the day and time of the actual sampling and the investigation. Additional studies may be needed to delineate the extent of mold contamination in the wall cavities and above ceilings, and the water/moisture sources within the structure. Mold Specialists of South Texas has written a remediation protocol based on a limited investigation of conditions existing at the time of the site investigation. The protocol was written to address the visible mold growth and allow the contractor to begin remediation.
Mold Specialists of South Texas' findings are based on visually accessible areas observed from floor level. Unless specifically mentioned in the report, no furniture was moved or invasive destructive testing performed at the structure. If destructive or invasive testing was performed, repair of any resulting damage is the responsibility of the owner or client.
All occupant health inquiries should be referred to a physician knowledgeable in the health effects of environmental mold exposures.
A qualified professional should be hired separately to identify and properly correct/repair all sources of excessive moisture or water intrusion into the structure. A qualified professional would include an individual with experience in building, construction and/or a specific trade such as plumbing, roofing, HVAC, etc. If moisture and water sources are not properly controlled, additional mold growth will likely result.
If you have any questions on this limited investigation, please call Mold Specialists of South
Texas. at (361) 215-6117.

VI. APPENDICES
APPENDIX A. DESCRIPTION AND EXPLANATION OF INSPECTION
History
The mold investigation of the structure includes a history of the structure as provided by the owner, occupant, adjuster, or contractor at the time of the investigation or at the time the job was assigned to Mold Specialists of South Texas. The history includes a summary of past and/or current water leaks or moisture problems, and any known areas of suspected visible mold, as reported by the owner, occupant, adjuster, or contractor.
Visual Inspection
Mold Specialists of South Texas’ mold investigation also includes a visual inspection of the structure for obvious visible signs of suspected mold growth and suspected water or moisture sources. The visual inspection consists of documentation of areas containing suspected visible mold, as well as, water-damaged areas. Mold Specialists of South Texas’ visual inspection is limited to visually accessible areas observed from floor level. Unless specifically mentioned in the report, no furniture was moved and no invasive/destructive testing was performed at the structure. If destructive or invasive testing is performed, repair of any resulting damage is the responsibility of the owner or client.
Direct-Read Instrumentation
Mold Specialists of South Texas may utilize direct-read instruments, including a digital hygrometer and moisture meter to measure indoor air quality parameters during an investigation.
Temperature and relative humidity readings are taken using a digital hygrometer and are documented inside the structure, as well as, outside for comparison and diagnostic purposes. A moisture meter may be utilized during the investigation to determine the moisture content in various building materials. This instrument may also be used to pinpoint locations of current water intrusion.
Laboratory Sampling
Mold Specialists of South Texas may collect several different types of laboratory samples from certain representative areas of suspected mold growth during the investigation. The laboratory samples collected by Mold Specialists of South Texas during the mold investigation are microscopically read for the presence of mold spores and/or other fungal structures. For additional information and a description of the sampling, refer to the provided appendix titled:
“Sampling Methods and Laboratory Analyses.”
Photographic Documentation
Areas of suspected visible mold growth may be photo documented during the mold investigation conducted by Mold Specialists of South Texas. Areas noted to have water damage and/or water staining may also be photo documented at the time of the investigation.
APPENDIX B. SAMPLING METHODS AND LABORATORY ANALYSES
General Information
Sampling techniques utilized during the investigation were performed according to recognized and accepted methods/procedures or industry practices. The following sampling techniques may have been employed during the investigation. Most sample collection materials are single-use items that are opened for use at the time of the investigation. Re-usable tools and equipment are cleaned and decontaminated with alcohol or a similar cleaning agent either between samples or after each investigation.
Bulk Samples
Bulk samples are collected by removing a portion of material suspected of containing visible mold growth. Bulk samples collected are placed into labeled sample bags until analyzed.
Tape Samples
Tape samples are collected by pressing a small piece of clear tape onto areas of suspected visible mold growth. The tape lifts are placed on microscope slides and stored in labeled sample bags or slide mailers until they are analyzed.
Swab Samples
Swab samples are collected by using sterile swabs to wipe areas of suspected visible mold growth. The sterile swabs are provided by the laboratory or supplier. The swab samples are then placed inside a labeled container until they are analyzed.
Air Samples
Air samples are collected utilizing Air-O-CellTM cassettes and a flow rate of 15 liters per minute
(lpm). The Air-O-CellTM cassettes are sent for direct exam analysis. The air sampling results are expressed as the number of fungal structures per cubic meter of air sampled (counts/m3) and do not differentiate between viable and nonviable mold spores. Sampling times may vary according to the manufacturer’s recommendations and conditions identified during the investigation. Since the results are usually a direct comparison of inside to outside, the flow rate is standardized during each investigation. The air sample is usually taken in the center of the room or space at a height of approximately four feet.
Viable Air Samples
Viable air samples are collected utilizing an Andersen sampler. A single stage Andersen sampler is employed to collect viable airborne fungi and bacteria aerosols by impaction onto petri dishes.
Andersen samplers measure viable particles per unit volume of air sampled expressed as colony forming units per cubic meter of air (cfu/m3). Air is drawn through the sampler, at a flow rate of
28.3 lpm. The plates are then incubated and analyzed.
Wall ChekTM
Wall ChekTM samples are collected utilizing Air-O-CellTM cassettes and a flow rate of 15 lpm.
This sampling technique is sometimes useful for sampling the air in the interstitial wall space of an interior wall or cavity between building materials. The sample analysis does not differentiate between viable and nonviable mold spores. Flow rates and sampling times during air sampling may vary according to the manufacturer’s recommendations and conditions identified during the investigation.
Laboratory Analyses
All samples are sent with a completed chain of custody form to a laboratory for analysis. For samples other than cultures, the laboratory performs a “direct exam” which involves a screen of the sampled material by light microscopy. This analytical method of fungal identification and enumeration conforms to manufacturer’s recommendations and standard laboratory procedures.
The direct exam is used in bulk, tape, swab and Air-O-CellTM samples and is a rapid analytical technique for confirming the presence and identity of mold structures on a surface or in the air.
The results are expressed as a range relative to the prevalence and concentration of mold structures in the sample.
The chain of custody and analytical report from the laboratory are attached.
APPENDIX C. GENERAL REMEDIATION PROCEDURES
Prior to remedial activity, a qualified professional should identify and properly correct/repair all sources of excessive moisture or water intrusion into the structure. A qualified professional would include an individual with experience in building, construction and/or a specific trade such as plumbing, roofing, HVAC, etc. If moisture and water sources are not properly controlled, additional mold growth will likely result.
The observations and suggestions provided in this document are basic industry standards and methods routinely utilized during mold remediation projects. This information is not provided or intended to direct the contractor’s work or to tell the contractor how to perform the work. It is presented as general information only and Mold Specialists of South Texas does not accept responsibility for the results of implementation.
Work Area
Mold Specialists of South Texas recommends establishing a work area perimeter separating and isolating the work area from other non-remediation areas. The work area where mold is present is to be isolated utilizing a minimum of 4-mil plastic sheeting. Negative pressure is to be provided to the enclosure with the use of negative air machines equipped with HEPA filtration.
The contractor is to remediate the building materials with visible mold growth and water damage and is responsible for determining the extent of the contamination. If it is determined that the extent of contamination exceeds the boundaries of the enclosure, then the enclosure is to be extended in order to encompass the entire contaminated area.
The HVAC system, if present, is to be turned off and isolated from the work area and contamination during remediation utilizing a minimum of 4-mil thick polyethylene sheeting. All supply and return ducts and plenums are to be covered and sealed with a minimum of two layers of 4-mil thick polyethylene sheeting.
Other areas of the structure shall be isolated from the work area in a manner to prevent contamination from spreading during remediation work.
Signs
Notice signs advising that a mold remediation is in progress are to be posted at all entrances leading to the remediation area(s) and in all occupied area(s) adjacent to the remediation area(s).
The signs shall comply with the Texas Mold Assessment and Remediation Rules (§295.322e) and be at least eight (8) inches by ten (10) inches with “NOTICE: Mold remediation project in progress” in black on a yellow background. The text must be legible from a distance of ten (10) feet.
Staging Area
A separate, uncontaminated area outside the work area is to be selected by the contractor as a temporary staging area for contents and items that have been cleaned. This staging area is to be
HEPA vacuumed and enclosed by erecting 4-mil thick polyethylene floors and walls. The temperature and humidity must be controlled in the temporary storage area in order to protect the contents. If no area of the structure is available as a staging area, then an off-site staging area will need to be utilized.
Biocides
Mold Specialists of South Texas does not recommend the use of a biocide during mold remediation. The purpose of mold remediation is to remove mold and clean areas of contamination, not just kill the mold. Therefore, the use of a biocide is not recommended in the mold remediation guidelines prepared by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Biocides can be toxic. However, if the contractor and owner choose to use a biocide, follow manufacturer’s directions for mixing and use, adequately ventilate the work area, and provide additional personal protective equipment to protect against chemical exposure(s). In addition, a material safety data sheet
(MSDS) prepared by the manufacturer of the biocide should be provided to the owner or owner’s representative prior to use for approval. Do not use fungicides developed for use outdoors for mold remediation or any other indoor situation.
Some biocides are considered pesticides and proper licensing or registration(s) may apply.
Decontamination Unit (If full containment is specified)
Either a two-stage decontamination chamber with workers using a double suiting technique instead of showering, or a three-stage decontamination chamber with a temporary shower is to be attached to the work area. The decon chamber is to be used for the decontamination of non-porous goods, construction equipment, personnel, and safety equipment. The three-stage decontamination chamber is to consist of a clean room, a shower room, and an equipment room.
A two-stage decontamination chamber will utilize a clean room and a dirty room. Personnel and equipment enter and exit the work area through the decontamination unit. The decontamination area is to be constructed so that personnel entering the work area will proceed through the clean room first, shower area second, and equipment room third. Polyethylene sheeting or similar material may be used to construct air locks between the rooms to limit airflow and potential cross contamination.
Decontamination of Contents and On-site Storage
Contents Inside the Work Area
The contents are to be removed from the remediation area. Discard porous items with suspect visible mold/contamination and/or water damage that cannot be cleaned. Non-porous contents should be cleaned using a HEPA vacuum and when applicable, wet wiping. This procedure is to occur in a controlled area such as the equipment room of the decontamination chamber.
Alternately, the contents may be wrapped in plastic and packaged for transport to an off-site facility for cleaning and restoration. Contents being packed-out for transport may be cleaned prior to transport or after arrival at an off-site facility. After cleaning, contents should be repackaged to prevent mold growth/contamination and stored in an uncontaminated climate-controlled environment until after remediation.
Methods for removing spores from non-porous surfaces requires wet wiping utilizing a cleaning agent such as soapy water or equivalent.
Porous surfaces can be HEPA vacuumed, wet wiped or washed depending on the material if there is no visible mold growth. Porous materials with visible microbial growth that cannot be adequately cleaned must be disposed of according to the procedures described in the waste disposal portion of this work plan. Launder washable fabric items.
Non-washable clothing items without visible mold may be cleaned by a professional cleaning service specializing in methods to remove settled mold spores. Clothing items may be thoroughly HEPA vacuumed to remove settled spores followed by laundering or dry cleaning, as appropriate. Special cleaning procedures can be used to restore porous items of great sentimental value.
Food and personal products in sealed containers should have the outer container wet wiped or washed. Some types of shoes, leather, fur, and decorated items may be damaged by the cleaning process. Electronic equipment and items should be professionally cleaned.
Contents Outside the Work Area
During remediation, provide climate control such as dehumidification, temperature, and air filtration in areas where contents and household items remain or are stored in uncontaminated areas of the structure.
After the remediation in the work area and on the HVAC, system is completed, the portion of the building outside of the containment area shall be HEPA vacuumed. This includes HEPA vacuuming and/or wiping down of areas with visible settled dust and debris consistent with general housekeeping procedures.
Remediation in Work Area
Isolate Work Area: Isolate and enclose the work area as previously described.
Remove Contents: Remove, clean, and store contents and movable items as previously described.
Flooring: After isolating the area as previously described and removing the movable objects from the work area, HEPA vacuum the flooring inside the containment and clean the flooring material(s). If the floor covering is to be removed, after cleaning, remove it continuing to use dust suppression methods. Then HEPA vacuum and wet mop or wipe down the floor/sub-floor with a cleaning agent such as soapy water or equivalent. Allow the area to dry.
Remaining Walls and Floors: Walls and floors, which are not slated for removal, are to be covered with a minimum of one layer of polyethylene sheeting or as needed to prevent contamination.
Pollution and Humidity Control: Mold Specialists of South Texas recommends placing dehumidification equipment in the remediation work area to control moisture and HEPA filtered air-handling equipment to provide a negative pressure to the work area during gross removal. During the gross removal work, the HEPA filtered air handling equipment may be set up to where cleaner (possibly outside) air is drawn into the structure/containment and filtered air is exhausted from the work area. After the gross removal is completed, the HEPA filtered air handling equipment may be set to re-circulate and clean (scrub) the air inside the remediation area.
Gross Removal: After completing the items above, begin removal of contaminated building materials using appropriate dust suppression methods. During gross removal, porous building materials may be lightly wetted with water, or a similar dust suppression liquid may be used to suppress the airborne dust created during removal and control the dispersal of mold spores into the air. The use of large amounts of water or similar liquids should be avoided. Removal is to extend no less than two feet past the perimeters of visible mold growth and water damage. As a general suggestion, if visible mold is less than two feet from floor level, then the bottom four feet of the wall is to be removed. If visible mold is higher than two feet from floor level, then eight feet of the wall is to be removed. This will serve as a safety margin around the visibly contaminated perimeter. Use common sense in implementing the recommended safety margin, as it may not be possible or reasonable in all situations.
Wood: Structurally sound wood is to be cleaned utilizing the following procedures:
1) HEPA vacuum the wood;
2) Apply a cleaning agent such as detergent (or equivalent) and wire brush the wood;
3) Allow the wood to dry;
4) HEPA vacuum the wood;
5) Re-apply a cleaning agent such as detergent (or equivalent) and wire brush the wood;
6) Allow the wood to dry;
7) HEPA vacuum the wood.
The decision to remove or clean the wood must often be made during the remediation after accessing the materials for inspection. This decision should take into account moisture content of the wood, physical damage, and fungal contamination.
Other Considerations: Removal of building materials for cosmetic purposes may be required.
The contractor shall follow the client’s standard practice in this regard. For example, partial removal of walls covered with wallpaper may create cosmetic concerns. The contractor may be required to remove the entire wall.
HVAC System
If fungal air contamination or surface sampling confirms mold growth/contamination, cleaning and remediation of the HVAC system is recommended. Inspection, cleaning, and remediation of the HVAC system should be performed after the mold reservoirs have been removed.
Contaminated ductwork and system components shall be cleaned and/or replaced as described in the National Air Duct Cleaner's Association's (revised guidelines dated 2002), Mechanical
Cleaning of Non-Porous HVAC Systems, or another applicable standard. This standard requires the cleaning and/or replacement of all contaminated elements of the air conveyance system.
When performing “Biomedical Remediation” on HVAC systems in the state of Texas, contractors shall comply with the Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Administrative Rules.
This includes but is not limited to a licensing requirement.
Post Remediation Air and/or Tape Sampling of Work Area
After completion of the gross removal and final cleaning of mold-contaminated areas, interior walls/ceilings that were remediated should not be covered so as not to impair visual inspection.
Mold Specialists of South Texas recommends placing dehumidification equipment in the remediation area and the HEPA filtered air-handling equipment in a recycle mode for at least one
(1) day. Negative air pressure should be maintained during the air scrubbing unless the contractor determines it is not practical or reasonable to do so. Continue operation of the HEPA filtered air equipment until after visual inspection and post remediation sampling. If the visual inspection passes, then relative humidity measurements will be performed. If areas of wet building materials are identified, moisture readings may also be performed. If the visual inspection, relative humidity, and moisture are within acceptable limits, then the filtration and dehumidification equipment will be turned off during Air-O-CellTM and/or tape sampling.
If the visual inspection or humidity/moisture readings are not acceptable, steps must be taken to correct the deficiencies. Then the area must be re-cleaned, inspected, and tested.
Air-O-CellTM and/or tape sampling will be used for post remediation testing. Air-O-CellTM and/or tape sampling results are generally available within a few days.
At the conclusion of air sampling, dehumidifiers and HEPA filter air machines will be turned on and should be left in operation until analytical results confirm the remediation has been successfully completed.
Mold Specialists of South Texas recommends the building occupant have a physician of their choice review the acceptability of the results obtained from the post-remediation air sampling.
The levels may be too high for some individuals.
In most situations, if the level of fungal structures in the air inside the work area is lower than the outdoor level and/or the tape sample results show areas have been cleaned, then the containment area can be HEPA vacuumed, wet wiped, and polyethylene sheeting removed for proper disposal.
Worker Safety
Worker protection for all work shall be, at a minimum, half face air purifying respirators equipped with HEPA filters, full body disposable clothing, gloves, boots, and eye protection. If double suiting is utilized instead of a shower, then the contractor shall provide a clean area outside of the containment where the workers may wash their hands and face prior to leaving the site.
The contractor is responsible for following all applicable Federal, State and local requirements during the performance of the work.
Waste Disposal
To mitigate contamination during transport and disposal, the mold and mold spore-containing waste is to be double bagged in 6-mil polyethylene bags. Each bag is to be sealed. The exterior bag is to be HEPA vacuumed in the equipment room of the decon chamber prior to exiting the work area. Bags are transported to and disposed of in a landfill approved for the disposal of construction waste by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, formally known as
Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission, of the State of Texas. Mold contamination on waste materials is not presently considered a regulated or special waste in the state of Texas.
This designation may change and the contractor is responsible for the proper packaging, temporary storage, transport, and disposal of the waste at the time of the project.
Other Considerations
Mold Specialists of South Texas recommends the use of a high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filtered vacuum cleaner and disposal of any vacuums used that were not equipped with HEPA filtration.

Non-Viable (Spore Trap) Mold Quantification
Blank corrections have not been applied.
Background debris is an indication of amount of non-fungal biological particulate matter present on the sample and is characterized as very light, light, moderate, heavy or very heavy. Heavy background debris may reduce readability so that spore counts should be considered minimal.
The calculation is based on the air volume and percent of slide read.
Background Debris Rating
Very light < 5 %
Light 5 – 10 %
Moderate 10 – 25 %
Heavy 25 – 75 %
Very heavy 75 % +
