After remediation has been completed, the ceiling tiles are to be replaced with a non- absorbent, moisture resistant ceiling tile such as tiles made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC)/plastic, tin/aluminum, or vinyl. As well, all insulation is to be removed and replaced with a mold resistant insulation such as stone wool or foam panels. Last, entire HVAC system including the unit itself, all coils, drip pans, filters and air ducts be thoroughly cleaned, serviced, and inspected.

A.2 MOLD REMEDIATION PROTOCAL REQUIREMENTS

A.2.1 Containment Setup

A. Phased zoning and containment of affected areas to be divided into smaller, manageable zones to be done section by section so the entire building is operational for burials.

B. Temporary partitions to be sturdy, airtight barriers to prevent spore escape erected around each zone. Containment barriers and decontamination chambers will be constructed using six-mil fire-retardant polyethylene sheeting to prevent cross-contamination.

If desired and requested, Air Sampling can confirm safe mold spore concentrations before re- occupancy clearance. The assessment should also, to the extent feasible, confirm that the underlying cause of the mold has been addressed, making it reasonably certain that the mold will not return in that area.
