Public awareness and sensitivity surround ing asbestos exposure issues, coupled with intense regulatory scrutiny , makes its identification and management a critical concern for the City of Fort Worth . IHST recognizes the importance of asbestos surveys with regards to protection of public health , ensu ring progress of building renovation and demolition projects , fiscal impact on the city and potential liabilities associated with improperly identified or managed asbestos-contain i ng materials . IHST is one of the oldest continually operating asbestos consulting firms in the Dallas -Fort Worth metroplex. In business for over twenty years , IHST has been involved in asbestos inspection , abatement planning and project management from the inception of the EPA and Texas asbestos regulations . IHST has completed over a thousand asbestos inspections and reinspections in schools , public buildings , commercial structures and apartment buildings . Asbestos consulting services have always been , and remain , one of IHST's core service offerings. IHST currently employees three (3) full-time asbestos field staff (all cross-trained and licensed as asbestos inspectors , project managers and air monitoring technicians), and one asbestos consultant. IHST's asbestos consultant is a Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH) with over twenty-five years experience . He is directly involved with day-to-day project planning , implementation and reporting . IHST asbestos inspectors perform thorough inspections and collect samples of suspect asbestos- containing building materials . Fields drawings and documentation carefully note the location and description of each sample group , as well as the appearance, locations and extent of the homogeneous areas from which those samples were collected . Samples are submitted immediately to qual ified and reputable local asbestos laboratories to help ensure rapid turnaround and reliable results . Sample data and field documentation is reviewed by IHST's asbestos consultant, who prepares detailed reports and drawings which clearly identify the location , description and quantities of asbestos present. IHST strives to ensure delivery of accurate , thorough asbestos inspections in a timely manner. IHST recognizes the frequent need to complete an inspection quickly , in order to facilitate planned city projects or address public concerns . IHST is staffed and structured to enable such rapid response , and to do so in a cost-effective manner. We realize the City of Fort Worth is directly impacted by resources and costs associated with management of asbestos. Inspection reports are the basis of abatement specifications and subsequent contractor bids and abatement projects. A poorly executed or inaccurate asbestos inspection can produce a ripple effect, with significant negative impact to all subsequent responsive actions and costs . I HST remains conscious of the critical importance of asbestos inspections , and strives to maintain consistent , timely delivery of rel iable data . 1111 INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE AND SAFETY TECHNOLOGY, INC, 2235 Keller Way -Carrollton, Texas 75006 (972) 478-7415 fax: (972) 478-7615 12/18/2007 RFQ DEM08-01 :AHS -Professional Services Contract for Asbestos, Mold and Industrial Hygiene Consulting Services Asbestos Removal Operations Oversight Asbestos abatement operations are typically awarded through competitive bidding processes , and , like many similar construction or demolition projects , competition is heavy and the market is crowded with both establ ished and emerging contractors. Constant competition and staffing flux within the abatement contractor pool can create pressures on contractors to cut corners and seek opportunities to gain additional revenues through change orders or wo rk extensions . Early recognition of this situation led the state of Texas to require oversight of abatement contractor activities by qualified independent parties . IHST recognizes the significant responsibility of the Asbestos Project Manager (APM ) in the successful execution of an asbestos abatemen t. The APM is the representative of the building owner, and is at once responsible for helping ensure the protection of building occupants , protecting the financial interests of the building owner, helping ensure the safety of contractor employees , assisting the abatement contractor in resolving project challenges , delivering the abatement on-time and complete , and ensuring regulatory compliance for abatement activities . This balancing act requires a knowledge of applicable regulatory requirements , intimate knowledge of project specifications , alertness and vigilance , good communication skills , firmness and experience with asbestos abatement projects . IHST has provided APM services fo r clients since the inception of EPA and Texas asbestos regulations . IHST has successfully managed many hundreds of abatement projects , both large and small , in virtually every educational , commercial and governmental setting . Our APMs are fully licensed by the Texas Department of State Health Services (TDSHS), and all have multiple years of experience in managing asbestos abatements . They know and understand the capabilities and limitations of the area 's key abatement contractors . They are directly supported by IHST's asbestos consultant, w ith over twenty-five years experience in asbestos assessment and abatement activities. IHST's APMs are also fully qual ified and licensed Air Monitoring Techn icians (AMT), providing continual onsite a ir monito r ing services , at no additional cost to our clients . They also maintain Asbestos Inspector licenses , and can perform ons ite evaluations of suspect materials which may be uncovered during abatements activities . The APMs provide constant contractor oversight , always working to ensure the client receives the optimal overall service and price combination from the abatement contractor. They perform thorough final inspections and clea rance tests to ensure that abated a reas are safe for occupancy . All data is reviewed and evaluated by IHST's asbestos consultant , who then prepares and issues detailed final reports and supporting documentation . IHST understands that each abatement project is important to the City of Worth , and is committed to consistent and effective management of asbestos abatement projects . Mold Assessments Mold has become a sensitive and often misunderstood subject. All ind ications are that it will remain so for the foreseeable future . Building occupants have become increasingly alarmed upon encountering mold in the indoor environment, and the state of Texas is one of only a few states with specific licensing and procedural requirements for assessing and removing mold . IHST has years of experience in evaluating mold issues and developing remediation plans . IHST's experience in this arena significantly predates the 2005 implementation of the Texas Department of State Health Services (TDSHS) mold regulations . IHST has provided cost-effective mold assessment and remediation planning services to insurance companies , commercial and governmental entities and homeowners . As with all of IHST's work, our approach to mold assessment is rooted in science , best industry practices and years of experience . We insulate our clients from speculative , unproven and bizarre assessment methods and corrective action recommendations . Our methodology is practical , scientifically sound and read ily explainable ; it makes sense , it is effective and it is consistent. All of our assessments are performed by fully licensed , experienced mold consultants (not mold technic ians), and comply with 1111 INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE AND SAFETY TECHNOLOGY, INC, 2235 Keller Way -Carrollton, Texas 75006 (972) 478-7415 fax: (972) 478-7615 12/18/2007 RFQ DEM08-01 :AHS -Professional Services Contract for Asbestos , Mold and Industrial Hygiene Consulting Services applicable TDSHS regulations . Our staff possesses education and professional experience which enables them to understand and use a scientific knowledge of mold to effectively assess even the most complex situations. We know when to use our eyes and when to collect samples . We know where to look and how to look for evidence of mold and moisture intrusion . When mold is found , our recommendations are reasonable , practical , cost-effective and comply with applicable TDSHS regulations regarding mold . We present all appropriate options for removal , and recommend those we believe best for the client and the specific situation . We remain vigilant in confining recommendations to an appropriate scope , and do not exaggerate or minimize the extent of a mold or moisture intrusion problem . Our mold consultants develop mold remediation protocols that comply fully with TDSHS regulations , ensure that mold and moisture problems are effectively eliminated , and provide sufficient clarity and detail to enable remediation contractors to supply accurate bids for removal. Our post-remed iation clearance testing procedures are appropriate for the scope and complexity of the abatement, again ne ither extreme nor too little . IHST bel ieves the City of Fort Worth will receive superior mold assessments and subsequent remediation plans from IHST. The City of Fort Worth can be confident that assessments are thorough and that findings and recommendations are reported with accuracy, objectivity and clarity . In short, IHST will help ensure the City of Fort Worth responds in a timely , appropriate and cost-effective manner to mold and moisture intrusion concerns. Mold Removal Operations Oversight IHST has provided oversight of mold removal operations in a variety of settings , from schools to executive office buildings to manufacturing facilities . We understand the importance of ensuring that mold remediation activ ities are completed appropriately and effectively . Mold remediation protocols are designed to ensure that all mold is effectively removed , that sources of moisture intrusion and mold growth are eliminated , and that future moisture intrusion or mold growth from the same source will not occur. In addition , the remediation activities themselves must be performed with appropriate protections for building occupants , to avoid real or perceived impacts to occupant comfort and health . IHST's mold removal oversight addresses all of these concerns . Our project managers ensure that removal contractors follow the specified protocols , and do not take shortcuts in procedures , thoroughness of remediation or appropriate post-cleaning surface treatments . They ensure that personal protective equipment and containment requirements of the remediation protocol are followed , as well as appropriate safety and jobsite cleanliness requirements . In the event that additional mold growth or moisture intrusion pathways are discovered during the course of the remediation , they communicate this information immediately to IHST's mold consultants , so appropriate modifications to the remediation protocols can be quickly and effectively developed and implemented . All post-remediation clearance inspections and testing are performed by our licensed mold consultants . Thorough visual inspections of the remediated areas are performed to ensure the scope and thoroughness of the mold removal effort was adequate , that appropriate post-remediation cleaning and surface treatments were completed as specified , that moisture intrusion pathways were effectively eliminated and that containments remain intact. In addition to the visual inspection , appropriate analytical tests are performed to ensure that cleaning was effective , and no reservoirs of mold spores remain in the remediated areas . IHST's project managers have provided reliable mold removal oversight services for a number of high- profile clients with stringent demands for effective , thorough and properly managed mold removal operations . Some of these clients include Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway , CB Richard Ellis , Mary Kay Cosmetics and Texas Instruments. IHST believes the City of Fort Worth can rely on IHST's experience , expertise and resources to help ensure smooth and successful mold removal projects . 1111 INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE AND SAFETY TECHNOLOGY, INC, 2235 Keller Way -Carrollton, Texas 75006 (972) 478-7415 fax : (972) 478-7615 12/18/2007 RFQ DEM08-01 :AHS -Professional Services Contract for Asbestos, Mold and Industrial Hygiene Consulting Services Indoor Environmental Quality Assessments ----- IHST has performed indoor environmental quality assessments for many years , and has closely followed the current science and industry practices since the first concerns over 'sick building syndrome'. As with all I HST projects , our approach is based on scientific investigation methods and objective evaluation of findings . While we continually monitor current trends and concerns in both the lay and scientific commun ities , we remain committed to fact and accepted scientific opinion , not media hyperbole or 'fringe science '. We strive to carefully evaluate the conditions and concerns involved in each project, investigate and evaluate the significance of potential factors impacting the indoor environment , and develop reasonable , defensible findings and recommendations. IHST's indoor environmental professionals are all industrial hygienists , with extensive training and experience. They all possess TDSHS licenses as Mold Consultants and Asbestos Inspectors . They understand building construction and HVAC issues that can impact the indoor environment and occupant comfort and health . The education , experience and objectivity of IHST's personnel allows them to execute projects in a logical and effective manner.

Herzer, C.P.A., P.C. \ Professional Corporation for Certified Public Accountants To the Board of Directors Industrial Hygiene & Safety Technology, Inc. We have compiled the accompanying balance sheet oflndustrial Hygiene & Safety Technology, Inc. as of August 31 , 2007 and 2006, and the related statements of income for the month, for the month and eight months, and for the month August 31, 2007 and prior months, in accordance with Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A compilation is limited to presenting in the form of financial statements information that is the representation of management. We have not audited or reviewed the accompanying financial statements and, accordingly, do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on them. Management has elected to omit substantially all of the disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principle. If the omitted disclosures were included in the financial statements, they might influence the user's conclusions about the company's financial position, results of operations and changes in cash. Accordingly, these financial statements are not designed for those who are not informed about such matters. Generally accepted accounting principles require an accrual of income taxes and disclosures of differences between book and tax income. The Company reports its income for Federal income ta)( purposes on the cash method of accounting, however no income taxes are accrued on these statements due to the fact that it is the practice of the Company to report no taxable income since it is subject to a flat tax rate of 35% as a Personal Service Corporation.

The following scope of work was used during the asbestos assessment for the subject property: A. Collecting and analyzing bulk samples of suspected asbestos-containing materials. B. Quantification of the suspected asbestos-containing material. C. Approximate costs of abatement, to include abatement specifications , contractor selection, and on-site management during remediation activities . D. Provide an approximate time schedule for abatement procedures . E. Make recommendations based on survey data collected to implement an Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Program or abatement procedures . F. Preparing a report discussing the findings and remedial recommendations . 3.0 Report Organization This report is divided into sections which discuss the review of available documentation, field investigation, laboratory analysis, hazard assessments, and recommendations. Illustrations, such as tables and figures follow the text. Other supporting documentation, such as laboratory reports are also included. 4.0 Field Investigation The survey was conducted to determine the amount of asbestos-containing materials present in the subject building. The survey included an observation of accessible areas and unusual conditions; and bulk sampling of suspected asbestos-containing materials. Bulk samples were collected of suspect materials and analyzed by Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) with dispersion staining, in accordance with the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Method for the Determination of Asbestos in Bulk Insulation Samples (Method 600/R-93/116). Percentage estimates are based on the analyst's best 1111 lnch11trlal Hy;ltn1111d Slltty ltchnolog)r,lnt.

IHST Project Number: 17595 judgment following PLM/DS and examination with a stereoscope. Laboratory reports containing sample location and results are included with this report. The survey was designed to identify the presence of both friable and non-friable asbestos-containing materials present in the surveyed area. Friable means that the material , when dry, may be crumbled , pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure. Building materials suspected of containing asbestos were grouped into "Homogeneous" sampling areas. The homogeneous areas were defined based on uniform texture , color, and appearance . Additionally , homogeneous areas were further defined based on building construction date(s). Each of the items sampled were classified into one of three categories: 1.) Surfacing Material : A surfacing material is a building material which has been applied to a surface (i.e., walls or ceilings) or structural members. Examples of surfacing materials which may contain asbestos are: spray-applied fireproofing, spray-applied acoustical texture, and trowel-applied textured ceilings and walls. 2 .) Thermal System Insulation : All types of i nsulation used on a bu ilding 's mechanical system are classified into the category of thermal system insulation. Examples of thermal system materials which may contain asbestos are: boilers and related piping, or duct insulation. 3.) Miscellaneous: All remaining materials which do not fall into the two above categories are placed in the miscellaneous category. Examples of miscellaneous materials which may contain asbestos are : lay-in ceiling tile, floor tile, mastic adhesives and roofing felt. An assessment was conducted for each building material sampled. The physical assessment consists of evaluating the condition of the suspect material and the potential for future disturbance . Recommendations made for a building material which contains asbestos are based on the assessments made by the inspector during the survey. The data developed during the asbestos survey is presented in the following sections of this report. Table 1 contains the Summary of Bulk Sample Analysis and Assessment and Table 2 contains the Cost Estimate Summary. Both tables present specific locations , results of additional asbestos analysis, time schedules, and quantities of asbestos. These cost estimates are based on IHST's experience and commercial estimates used by local abatement contractors. However, it should be noted that the cost estimates are not based on a written set of specifications or a confirmed scope of work, which can affect the final contract cost. 5.0 Sampling Sampling during the field investigation included the collection of bulk samples of suspected asbestos containing materials, as listed in Table 1., Summary of Bulk Sample Analysis and Assessment. After sample recovery, samples were placed in secure containers, and the sampling vicinity was cleaned and sealed. Appropriate chain-of-custody protocols were initiated at that time to track handling of bulk samples. 5.1 Laboratory Analysis The samples were transported to and analyzed by the analytical laboratory specified in Figure 2., a successful participant in the Department of Commerce, National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST) National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program and licensed by the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS), formerly the Texas Department of Health. Ten percent (10%) of the bulk samples were reanalyzed independently as part of the quality assurance and quality control programs. 1111 lndUllrilJHvgltntand SrletyTtcmology,k!e.

IHST Project Number: 17595 6.0 Hazard Assessment Asbestos is an airborne hazard. A hazard assessment refers to the process by which we evaluate a material's potential to release fibers into the air. Fibers may be released spontaneously as part of the aging process, or as a result of sudden impact, vibration , air movement , or localized deterioration. Assessing a material's potentia l for fiber release, and hence its associated hazard, is based upon evaluating the material's condition and potential for further disturbance , damage, or deterioration . 6.1 Hazard Assessment Rankings Any material identified as asbestos containing that exhibits damage , should be considered a hazard to anyone who works in the area . Typically, damage is classified as minor or sign ificant. Minor damage is characterized by small cuts , tears , scuffs, small openings, or other lim ited disturbance to asbestos conta ining materials. Areas wi t h minor damage represent varying degrees of hazards from slight to high depending on: * The nature of the damage ; * Proximity to disturbers , such as airstreams; * Location with respect to building occupants; * Activity in the immediate area; and * Frequency of maintenance in the area. Significant damage is characterized by large openings, visible flaking , loose particles , and debris on surfaces below the material. Asbestos containing materials which exhibit significant damage are either high or critical hazards, depending upon access ibility. High hazards exist where significantly damaged materials are generally inaccessible; however, where significant damage is accessible , or in the vicinity of building occupants , there is a critical hazard. The recommended action for addressing asbestos related hazards depends upon the degree of hazard . For example: * An immediate hazard or critical assessment describes a situation in which the material is exposed and friable, accessible to personnel, and is disturbed releasing fibers in the air. In this situation, immediate action should be taken. At a minimum , the area should be isolated and access restricted. * A high assessment describes a s ituation in which the material is in poor condition, exposed and friable, with a potential for disturbance. In this case, interim controls should be instituted, and the material should be removed when practical. Repairs should be made to the ACM if abatement is not scheduled. * A medium or moderate assessment describes a situation in which a combination of the determining factors vary, such as a material that is in good condition but has a high asbestos content and is generally accessible. In situations like this, abatement can be scheduled with future building renovation or maintenance. * A low or slight assessment describes a situation in which the material is in good condition and has a low potential for disturbance, damage, or deterioration . In this situation, an O&M program is usually all that is needed . In general, those areas that are classified as critical or high damage should be abated. These are areas where a high probability of exposure could occur. Moderately damaged areas would require an Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Program to be instituted . In addition, these areas should be considered for abatement, or at the very least repaired . 1111 lnd11llrilli.,gll1111nd Slfe1y T,chllology,lne.

IHST Project Number: 17595 6.2 Asbestos-Containing Material Assessments Figure 5 provides a summary of the asbestos identified during the survey, along with a hazard assessment for each type and condition of asbestos-containing material. Figure 5. Hazard Assessments for Asbestos-Containing Materials Flooring Materials Condition: Good, Friability: NF I, Disturbance Potential: Low The floor tile and mastic in good condition presents a low potential health hazard to building occupants due to its observed good condition and intact binding matrices. Prior to building demolition , renovation or work activities that would disturb these materials , removal must be performed by a properly trained and TDSHS-licensed abatement contractor. Prior to building demolition, removal of any damaged or significantly damaged floor tile and linoleum flooring should be performed by a properly trained and state-licensed abatement contractor. Currently, National Emission Standards for Hazard Air Pollutants (NESHAP) regulations allow Category I non-friable asbestos floor tile, sheet flooring and mastic in good condition, to be left in place during structural building demolition. Buildings subject to NESHAP regulations, require that wet demolition work be conducted with no visible emissions, and the presence of a "Competent Person" trained under the provisions of NESHAP to supervise the demolition work. The asbestos-containing materials should be placed in a management program and monitored until renovation or demolition activity occurs.

Damage was not observed ; no immediate abatement action is required . 3 = Material contains asbestos, was friable, and shows signs of localized damage with a potential for disturbance. 4 = Material contains friable asbestos and was significantly damaged. 1111 lnclu1tnl!Hyglent •nd s,i,1yT,thnolon,~ Comprehensive Asbestos Survey Apartments Street City , TX Page 9 of 10 Industrial Hygiene and Safety Technology, Inc. IHST Project Number: 17595 8.0 Qualifications Industrial Hygiene and Safety Technology, Inc. has attempted to observe the existing conditions within the aforementioned building utilizing generally accepted procedures. Regardless of the thoroughness of a survey, the possibility exists that some areas containing asbestos were overlooked, inaccessible or different from those at specific locations. Furthermore, renovation and/or construction may reveal altered conditions. This report describes only the conditions present at the time of the survey, in the areas surveyed. The recommendations presented apply to the conditions that were observed during the survey. IHST policies are to not perform destructive sampling unless previously authorized by the client. Therefore, IHST does not perform core sampling of roofing materials unless previously authorized and accompanied by the owner and/or his representative. Other conditions may exist in unsurveyed or inaccessible areas such as behind walls and above permanent ceilings. In addition, the conditions of asbestos-containing materials may change gradually or suddenly depending upon use, maintenance or accident. As a result, the recommendations presented should be periodically reviewed and updated. The quantity estimates presented in this report were based upon observations during the survey as well as information from building plans provided by the owner. While it is believed that the estimated quantities are reasonable, unanticipated conditions could be present in inaccessible or unsurveyed areas. Industrial Hygiene & Safety Technology, Inc. do not warrant or guarantee the quantity estimates . The use of such estimates shall be at the user's own risk and shall constitute a release and agreement to defend and indemnify Industrial Hygiene & Safety Technology, Inc. from and against any liability. If you have any questions or comments regarding the content of this report, I would be glad to discuss them at your convenience.

The CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for verifying existing site conditions and determining the quantity of ACM delineated for removal prior to abatement described in these specifications and associated drawings . 1.1.3. TASKS: The work, located at the facility, is summarized briefly as follows: The PROJECT requires the removal of the materials outlined in Section 1.1.2. The asbestos abatement will be performed in accordance with these specifications and procedures as out- lined . Asbestos Removal within full Containment: The Contractor will use wet methods for all re- moval operations. The Contractor is responsible for prompt clean-up and disposal of waste and debris contaminated with asbestos in leak tight containers. The Contractor will conduct a wet decontamination of equipment and tools before final clearance sampling in the work area. The Contractor will use the existing interior walls and ceilings in the buildings to provide struc- tural support for an asbestos containment work area provided the containment remains sound and is not in danger of collapse. The Contractor should make every effort not to damage the in- terior walls of the building during the project. The Contractor will establish critical barriers over all openings into the work area. ACM debris should be adequately wetted prior to establishing perimeter critical barriers. The Contractor will remove the asbestos-containing material from the work area. The full containment design must be structurally sound so that it will not collapse under negative pressure and work conditions . A structurally unsound containment design will not be ac- cepted. The full containment design will consist of one (1) layer of 6-mil polyethylene sheeting for all critical barriers, floors and walls. Two layers of polyethylene sheeting will be required on walls and floors not affected by the abatement Polyethylene sheeting shall meet the require- ments in accordance with current TDSHS rules. The Contractor must establish negative air into the containment and maintain a pressure differential of -0 .02 inches of water as indicated by a working manometer. )(;Z&U,d I(. e,am1r . 'r--cr Asbestos Consultant 10-5040, Expires 12-29-07 Asbestos Abatement Page2 After the ACM has been removed and the work area cleaned , a detailed visual clearance in- spection will be conducted to determine if ACM or asbestos-contaminated elements (ACE) re- main prior to final clearance and work completion. OSHA personnel and area monitoring will be conducted with analysis by (PCM). Final air clearance sampling will be conducted utilizing PCM . Respiratory protection will require half-face, air-purifying respirators (APR) with NIOSH- approved P-100 (HEPA) cartridges during removal. The CONTRACTOR is responsible to verify site conditions and estimated quantities of ACM to be removed. 1.1.4. CONTRACTORS USE OF PREMISES: Cooperate fully with the Owner's Representative to minimize conflicts and to facilitate Owner's safe and smooth usage of buildings . Perform the work in accordance with specifications , draw- ings, and phasing plan. Use existing facilities in building strictly within the limits shown in contract documents and the approved pre-abatement plan of action. Asbestos Abatement Specification Drawings show the limits of containment, the placement of the decontamination facilities for people and for equip- ment, the temporary location of bagged waste material and the path of transportation of con- taminated waste to the outside from the regulated area. Variations from the arrangements shown on drawings will be secured in writing from the Owner's Representative through the pre- abatement plan of action . 1.2. DIFFERING SITE CONDITIONS: The quantities and location of ACM indicated on the drawings and the extent of work included in this section are only best estimates which can be limited by the physical constraints imposed by structural enclosures or by occupancy of the building . Accordingly , minor variations (+ 20%) in quantities of ACM within the limits of containment for each abatement stage are considered as having no impact on contract price and time of this contract. Locations of same type of ACM dif- ferent than indicated on drawings but within the limits of the work area are considered as having no impact on contract price and time of this contract. Where additional asbestos abatement work is required beyond the above variations, the contract price and time will be adjusted under provisions of applicable clause in the contract. 1.3. STOP ASBESTOS REMOVAL: If the Owner's Representative presents a written Stop Asbestos Removal Order, immediately stop all asbestos removal and initiate fiber reduction activities . Do not resume asbestos removal until authorized in writing by Owner's Representative . A Stop Asbestos Removal Order will be issued at any time the Owner or Owner's Representative determines abatement conditions are not within specifications requirements . Stoppage will continue until conditions have been cor- rected. Standby time and cost required for corrective action is at Contractor's expense . The occurrence of the following events will be reported in writing to the Owner's Representative and Asbestos Abatement Page 3 will require the Contractor to automatically stop asbestos removal and initiate fiber reduction ac- tivities: A. Excessive airborne fibers outside containment area (0 .01 flee or greater). B. Break in containment barriers. C . Loss of negative air pressure (at or above 0.01 inches of water) D .

Do not turn off units at the end of the work shift or when abatement operations temporarily stop. Do not shut down negative air system during abatement operations procedures , unless author- ized by the Owner's Representative in writing. Start abatement work at a location farthest from the exhaust units and proceed toward them . If an electric power failure occurs , immediately stop all removal work and do not resume until power is restored and all exhaust units are operating again. At completion of abatement work, allow exhaust units to run as specified under this section, to remove airborne fibers that may have been generated during abatement work and cleanup and to purge the work area with clean makeup air. Units may be required to run after decontamina- tion, if dry or only partially wetted asbestos material was encountered during any abatement work. 1.9.7. DISMANTLING THE SYSTEM: When a final inspection and the results of the final air tests indicate that the area has been de- contaminated, exhaust units may be removed from the work area . Before removal from the work area, remove and properly dispose of pre-filters , and seal intake to the machine with 6-mil polyethylene to prevent environmental contamination from the pre-filters . 1.10. CONTAINMENT BARRIERS AND COVERINGS OF WORK AREA: 1.10.1. GENERAL: Seal off perimeter of work area to completely isolate abatement areas and to contain all air- borne asbestos contamination created by abatement work. Cover all surfaces of the work area to protect them from cross contamination , to facilitate more efficient cleanup , and to protect the finishes from the asbestos abatement work. Should the area beyond the seal off limits become contaminated as a consequence of the work, clean those areas in accordance with procedures described in this section at no additional cost. 1.10.2. PREPARATION PRIOR TO SEALING OFF: Place all tools, staging, etc . necessary for the work in the area to be isolated prior to erection of temporary plastic sheeting enclosure. Disable ventilating systems or any other system bringing air into or out of the work area. Disable system utilizing positive means that will prevent acci- dental premature restarting of equipment , i.e ., disconnecting wires , removing circuit breakers, lockable switch, etc. 1.10.3. CONTROL ACCESS TO WORK AREA: Permit access to the work area only through the PDF.

Where the area adjacent to the work area is accessible to the public, construct a barrier of plywood or other suitable material at least eight feet (8') in height that is able to withstand the negative pressure as specified . Post warning signs at each visual and physical barrier per OSHA requirements. Alternate method of containing the work area or different definition of the limits of seal-off from the one shown on the drawings may be submitted to the Owner's Representative for approval in accor- dance with this section. Do not proceed with any such alternatives without prior written approval by the Owner's. 1.10.4. CRITICAL BARRIERS: Completely separate the work area from other portions of the building, and the outside by sheet polyethylene barriers at least 6 mil in thickness and sealing with duct tape. Individually seal all ventilation openings (supply and exhaust), lighting fixtures, doorways, windows, and other open- ings into the work area with duct tape alone and with polyethylene sheeting at least 6-mil in thickness, taped securely in place with duct tape. Maintain seal until all work including project decontamination is completed. Take care in sealing off lighting fixtures to avoid melting or burn- ing of sheeting. Provide sheet plastic barriers at least 6-mil in thickness as required to com- pletely seal openings from the work area into adjacent areas. Seal the perimeter of all sheet plastic barriers with duct tape or spray cement. 1.10.5. PRIMARY BARRIERS: The primary barrier of the full containment walls will consist of a minimum of Primary barriers for full containment shall consist of two (2) layers of minimum 4-mil polyethylene sheeting for the walls securely anchored from the floors to the ceiling. The containment for the removal of the li- noleum flooring will require a minimum 4-mil polyethylene sheeting for the ceiling. Polyethylene sheeting shall meet ASTM requirements in accordance with TDSHS regulations. Visible open- ings observed along the perimeter walls and the ceiling shall be completely sealed polyethylene sheeting and the wall corners of the containment should be attached with an overlap of at least twelve inches . The primary barrier construction should form an airtight, impermeable , perma- nent barrier around the ACM and ACM debris to contain the release of asbestos fibers into the air. 1.10.6. EXTENSION OF WORK AREA: If the enclosure barrier is breached in any manner that could allow the passage of asbestos de- bris or airborne fibers, then where possible, add affected area to the work area. Enclose it as required by this Section of the specification and decontaminate it as described elsewhere in this section. If contaminated area cannot be added to work area, decontamination measures will start immediately after contamination is discovered and work will stop in work area. Decontami- nation procedures will continue until exposure returns to background levels. 1.10.7. SECONDARY BARRIERS: Secondary barriers should be established in areas to separate any non-related work activity from the abatement containment to prevent dust or debris from potentially contaminating fresh air (make-up air) into the containment or regulated asbestos removal area.

All air monitoring is to be done util izing PCM sampling procedures with final clearance to be performed by TEM. The Owner's Representa- tive will perform the following tasks: TASK 1: Establish background levels before abatement work will start. This will in- clude taking background samples (at least 3) and retaining samples for pos- sible TEM analysis. TASK 2: Perform continuous air monitoring , inspection and testing outside the work area during actual abatement work area. In addition, the Owner's Represen- tative will be required to detect any faults in the work area isolation and any adverse impact of surroundings from work area activities. TASK 3: Perform unannounced site visits to spot check overall compliance of work with contract documents. These visits may include any inspection , monitoring Asbestos Abatement Page 19 and testing inside and outside the work area and all aspects of operation ex- cept personnel monitoring. TASK 4: Provide support to the Owner such as evaluation of submittals from the abatement contractor, resolution of unforeseen developments in abatement work , etc. TASK 5: Perform final inspection and testing of a decontaminated area or building at the conclusion of the abatement and cleanup work to certify compliance with Owner's decontamination standards . TASK 6: Issue certificate of decontamination for each area or building and a final project report . TASK 7: The Owner's Representative will have authority to require building materials to be removed and disposed of as ACM waste where visible ACM debris is pre- sent. All data, inspection results and testing results generated by the Owner's Representative will be available to the Contractor for information and consideration . Contractor will provide coopera- tion and support to the Owner's Representative for efficient and smooth performance of their work. Monitoring and inspection results of the Owner's Representative will be used by the Owner to issue any Stop Asbestos Removal Orders to the contractor during abatement work and to ac- cept or reject an area or a building as decontaminated . The Owner's Representative will make available to the Contractor the plan for sample collection and analysis for continuous monitoring outside the work areas and the plan of final inspection and testing for each space or building prior to executing each plan . Plan will include location for samples , name and qualification of person taking samples , whether on site analysis and/or lab analysis will be utilized , methodol- ogy of analysis , lab information and qualifications of on-site analyst. 1.11.3. MONITORING, INSPECTION AND TESTING BY ABATEMENT CONTRACTOR: The Contractor is responsible for managing all monitoring , inspection and testing required by these specifications and the OSHA requirements . The analytical laboratory that will be used by the Contractor to analyze the samples will be AIHA P.A.T. Accredited and Texas Department of State Health Services Licensed . Keep a daily log of personnel samples taken and analyzed and make log available to the Owner's Representa- tive. Log will contain information on the persons sampled , the date of sample collect ion the time of sample start and finish, flow rate, sample volume and fibers/cc. Take and analyze personnel samples for at least 25% of the workers in each shift, but not less than two where active abate- ment takes place . 1.11.4. ANALYSIS: Bulk samples (if required) will be analyzed at a laboratory that is Accredited by the National Vol- untary Laboratory Accred itation Program (NVLAP). Proof of accreditation must be submitted prior to the project start date . Polarized light microscopy will be used to analyze bulk samples . Air samples will be analyzed by an individual participating in the American Industrial Hygiene Association's (AIHA) Proficiency Analytical Testing Program . Asbestos Abatement Page 20 In addition to the continuous monitoring required, the Owner's Representative will perform in- spection and testing at the final stages of abatement for each work area or building as specified elsewhere in this section . 1.12.5. SUBMITTALS AT COMPLETI ON OF ABATEMENT: The Contractor will submit a final project report consisting of the daily log book and the docu- mentation of events during abatement including the original disposal manifests signed by the operator of licensed landfill. The project report will include a certificate of completion , dated and signed by the Contractor. All certificates and original disposal manifests are due to the Owner's Representative office within 30 (thirty) days after completion of abatement work. PART 2 -EXECUTION 2.1. PREABATEMENT ACTIVITIES: 2.1.1. PREABATEMENTMEETING: The Owner's Representative, upon receipt , review and substantial approval of all preabatement submittals and upon verification that all material and equipment required for the project are on site, will arrange for a preabatement meeting between the Asbestos Abatement Contractor, su- perintendent and foremen and the Owner's Representatives. The purpose of the meeting is discuss any aspects of the submittals needing clarification or amplification and to discuss any aspects of the project execution and the sequence of operations. The Asbestos Abatement Contractor and his employees will be prepared to provide any sup- plemental evidence and information to the Owner's Representative pertaining to any aspects of the submittals or the materials and equipment. No abatement work of any kind described in the following provisions of these specifications will be initiated prior to the preabatement meeting . 2.1.2. PREABATEMENT INSPECTION AND PREPARATIONS : Before any work begins on the containment barriers , the contractor will: 1. Conduct a space-by-space inspection with an authorized Owner's Representative , and prepare a written inventory of all existing damage in those spaces where asbestos re- moval work will occur. Still or video photography may be used to supplement this written damage inventory. Documents will be signed and certified as accurate by both parties . 2. Ensure that all furniture, machinery, equipment, curtains drapes, blinds and other mov- able objects which the contractor is bound to remove from the work area have been re- moved or protected. 3. Notify the Owner's Representative of systems that need to be shut down as soon as practical in advance. The Owner's Representative will coordinate shutdown with Con- tractor and Owner's Facility Representative. The Owner's Facility Representative will perform and monitor shutdown as required by Contractor. a. Shutdown and seal off all heating , cooling , ventilating or other air handling systems serving the work area . The environment of the work area will be completely isolated from all other air flows in the building. Owner's Representative will monitor shut- down . Asbestos Abatement Page 21 b. Shut down all electrical circuits which pose a potential hazard on the job. Exact elec- trical arrangements will be tailored to the particular space and systems involved. All electrical circuits will be turned off at the box outside the removal area , not just the wall switch . Potential for electrical shock is a major threat to life in a work area where large amounts of water will be sprayed on ceilings, conduits, lighting fixtures and other electrical items. Electrical lines which are used to power work lights and equipment will conform to all electrical safety standards and will be protected by a ground fault interrupter. The Asbestos Abatement Contractor will be responsible for all OSHA lockout/tagout requirements. A copy of the Asbestos Abatement Contrac- tor's lockouUtagout program must be submitted for review prior to asbestos abate- ment operations. 2.1.3. PREABA TEMENT CONSTRUCT/ON AND OPERATIONS: Perform all preparatory work for the first work area in accordance with the approved detailed work schedule. Execute the preparatory work in accordance with this specification. Upon completion of all preparatory work, the Owner's Representative will inspect the work and systems to assure work is in accordance with these Specifications. The Owner's Representa- tive may require that, upon satisfactory inspection, the Contractor's employees perform all major aspects of the approved SOP especially on worker protection, respiratory protection , contin- gency plans, decontamination procedures and monitoring to demonstrate satisfactory operation . The operating systems for respiratory protection and negative pressure air systems will be demonstrated for performance . Upon satisfactory inspection of the installation and systems and satisfactory demonstration of operations the Owner's Representative will notify the Contractor to proceed with abatement work. 2.2. REMOVAL OF ACM AND ACE: 2.2.1. WETTING MATERIALS: The Asbestos Abatement Contractor will adequately wet and remove all ACM as follows : 1. Spray wetting agent on the asbestos containing materials. 2. After wetting and removal, seal all ACM waste in leaktight two layers of 6-mil polyethyl- ene while wet. For waste material not fitting into containers without additional breaking, put material into leaktight wrapping. 3. Label containers and wrapped material using warning labels as specified by OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1001 or 1926.1101 and the NESHAPS regulations. 4 . For ACM being transported off the facility site, label ACM waste containers and wrapped material with the name of the waste generator and the location where the waste was generated. 2.2.2. SITE PREPARATION: Erect critical barriers at all doors and windows entering the regulated areas . This project will be conducted by establishing critical barriers over all openings into the work area. A three stage wet decontamination unit will be erected for worker entrance and exit into the work area. The Asbestos Abatement Page 22 Contractor must establish negative air in the containment and maintain a pressure differential of -0.02 inches of water column pressure differential. 2.2.3. PERSONAL PROTECTION: One (1) layers of disposable clothing and full-face, or half face air-purifying respirators with NIOSH-approved HEPA cartridges shall be worn by all personnel during removal of the asbes- tos-containing thermal system insulation . Provide boots , safety glasses and gloves for all workers . Equipment will meet OSHA require- ments for personal protection. Provide all persons entering the work area with disposable full body coveralls , disposable head covers and rubber boots . 2.2.4. THERMAL SYSTEM INSULATION: The Contractor may remove the pipe insulation and elbows in a full containment or use a glove bag. If a glovebag is usued the procedures listed below will be used : The minimum crew size for a glovebag operation is two: one member performs the actual re- moval with "hands in the gloves" and the second directs the spray wand at the work. It is rec- ommended that three people be used. The third helps support the bag , makes sure tools and supplies are readily available, and is on hand in case of emergency . All crew members should be trained in the use of the glovebag. The Contractor will erect critical barriers and establish negative air filtration. Rope off work area and place warning signs . Bring the necessary materials into the work area. Have a HEPA vac- uum system available at all times. The HEPA vacuum will be used to establish negative air fil- tration inside of the glove bag . Make sure that possible contaminants in the area have been cleaned with the proper methods before beginning the glovebag procedure to avoid confusion concerning the source of the mate- rial. Wrap the adjacent pipe not to be enclosed in the glovebag with 6-mil plastic. Cover surfaces, such as the floor and walls, near the glovebag removal site with 6-mil plastic. Disposable clothing and full-face PAPR respirators will be worn be any person performing glovebag removal. If fiber counts generated during abatement do not exceed the protection fac- tor of a half-face respirator during glovebag removal of TSI , and this can be verified by on-site PCM fiber counts , a half-face respirator may be used. Wrap duct tape around the insulation where the shoulders of the glovebag will be attached . Put the necessary tools in the pouch of the glovebag. Slit the glovebag as necessary to fit it over the pipe from which insulation is to be removed . Asbestos Abatement Page 23 Attach the glovebag to the previously applied duct tape at the shoulders. Fold the top edge of the bag between shoulders over on itself about an inch, then staple it about every two inches. Fold it again and tape the folded edge to the bag. Seal all joints with duct tape. Prepare the opening for the spray wand. If the manufactured location is not accessible, be sure to reinforce the bag with duct tape where the slit is to be made. Slit must be covered with rub- ber septum-like material that will seal after the wand is removed . Be sure the sprayer and bag are properly supported. The glovebag will have to have a smoke test to assure that the bag is sealed. Assemble the tube and bulb. Insert the tube into the slit prepared for the spray wand . Fill the bag with smoke and gently squeeze. Watch for leaks particularly at seams, joints, corners, and arms. Seal leaks with duct tape . Establish negative air filtration of the glovebag before any removal operations take place . Wet the covering of the insulation, keeping it wet through the entire operation. Remove any metal covering with the tin snips . Remove the outer covering of the insulation . This may expose wire that needs to be cut before proceeding . Be sure that sharp edges of metal and wire are folded inward to avoid puncturing the bag . It may be possible to further pro- tect the bag by packing insulation, which has already been removed from the pipe and placed at the bottom of the bag, around sharp edged material. Remove the insulation. If possible, remove sections as they were installed. Otherwise use the utility knife and/or the flex saw to cut out the section which is then pried off. Keep the insulation (especially newly exposed surfaces) wet during the procedure . As pieces of insulation are removed , lower them carefully to the bottom of the bag. Using the putty knife and the screwdriver, scrape any remaining residue from the pipe. Rinse the pipe while scraping. Clean the pipe with the scrub brush . Wipe all cleaned surfaces with a wet rag and put the rag in the bottom of the bag . Rinse and wipe the inside of the glovebag. Rinse and wipe the tools, then put them in the pouch. Develop a check list to inventory tools in the glovebag. Pull one arm out of the glovebag, inverting the glove in the process . With the other hand, place tools in the inverted glove . Grasp the remaining tools and place them in the other glove as the second arm is withdrawn. After the bag has been collapsed and the bottom twisted off, twist the gloves between the tool and the glovebag and wrap with tape for about four inches starting at the bag. Leave a tab and cut through the tape . Either transfer the glove to a new bag (if work is to continue) or open the bag under water and remove the tools, making sure they are free from debris. Asbestos Abatement Page 24 Remove the spray wand and insert the nozzle of the HEPA vacuum in the slit. Turn the vacuum on and run it long enough to collapse the bag. Twist the bag and wrap it with duct tape just below the gloves and remove the HEPA vacuum nozzle . Glovebags may only be used once and may not be moved. When the bag is finally to be removed from the pipe, fold the dirty side inward and put it in a 6- mil disposal bag. Seal the disposal bag. Inspect the sections of the pipe where the insulation has been removed. Remove any remain- ing material with a wet rag or the HEPA vacuum. Apply a coat of sealant to the pipe. Clean up any debris or water on the floor with wet rags and/or the HEPA vacuum. As in any asbestos related project, the work area should be kept free of debris. Any contamina- tion should be cleaned up immediately. When the work day is complete, (or as soon as the pro- ject is complete) the work area should be cleaned using wet methods and/or a HEPA vacuum . All glovebags should be removed from the pipes at the end of the work day (or as soon as the procedures are completed) and placed in double layer 6-mil asbestos disposal bags. Dispose of waste in accordance with regulations for asbestos waste found in these specifications. Workers should pass through a complete decontamination facility when exiting the work area. If the bag develops a leak, stop work inside the bag. Catch the water in a plastic disposal bag. Lift and move the bag so that water stops running out. Do not "pump" the bag in a way that would force air out. Twist the bag in the area of the puncture to form a stem, dry the surface and tape it securely closed. Clean up the contaminated water and debris from the floor immedi- ately using wet methods and/or the HEPA vacuum. Dispose of the waste properly. Alternate removal techniques may be used if approved by the CIH. 2.2.5. FLOOR TILE AND MASTIC: Those areas normally exposed to heavy foot traffic patterns usually have tiles adhered the tight- est. As a matter of good practice in starting the tile removal, those sections which receive the least traffic should be the locations selected for starting the removal of the tile. Since tiles are normally in a 9" x 9" or 12" x 12" dimension, it should be the goal to remove individual tiles as · a complete unit to the best extent possible. Start the removal by carefully wedging the wall scraper in the seam of two adjoining tiles and gradually forcing the edge of one of the tiles up and away from the floor . Do not break off pieces of the tile but continue to force the balance of the tile up by working the scraper beneath the tile and exerting both a forward pressure and a twisting action on the blade to promote re- lease of the tile from the adhesive and the floor. When the first tile is removed, place it, without breaking into smaller pieces, in the heavy-duty impermeable waste bag or closed impermeable container which will be used for disposal. Asbestos Abatement Page 25 With the removal of the first tile accessibility of the other tiles is improved . Force the wall scraper under the exposed edge of another tile and continue to exert a prying twisting force to the scraper as it is moved under the tile until the tile released from the floor. Again, dispose of the tile , and succeeding tiles , by placing in the heavy-duty bag or closed container without additional breaking . Some tiles will release quite easily while others require varying degrees of force. Where the adhesive is spread heavily or is quite hard , it may prove easier to force the scraper through the tightly adhered areas by striking the scraper handle with a hammer using blows of moderate force while maintaining the scraper at a 25° to 30° angle to the floor . Caution: Use safety gog- gles . If some areas are encountered where even the technique detailed in the previous paragraph proves to be inadequate , the removal procedure can be simplified by thoroughly heating the tile(s) with a hot air blower until the heat penetrates through the tile and softens the adhesive . Note 1: Handle the hot air blower, tiles , and adhesive carefully to avoid personal burns. Note 2: Do not handle the heated tiles and adhesive without suitable glove protection for the hands . As small areas of subfloor are cleared of tile , the adhesive remaining on the floor must be scraped up with the 4" hand scraper until only a thin, smooth film remains. In those area where deposits are heavy or difficult to scrape, the removal can be expedited by heating with the hot air blower prior to scraping. Deposit scrapings in a heavy-duty impermeable trash bag or closed impermeable container. Thoroughly spread approved mastic biodegradable cleaner/solvent onto all mastic with a garden sprayer (Note The solvent used to remove the mastic must have a flash point of >140 degrees F. Submittals for the solvent must include a Material Safety Data Sheet. Let the solution stand for at least 15 minutes . Use an industrial buffer with coarse pads to dislodge the material or a squeegee. Squeegee, or use scrapers to push material into a cen- tral location for final mopping and cleanup . Hand-scraping may be done at the Contractor's op- tion, or as required to completely remove all material. As indicated in previous paragraphs , tiles should be placed immediately in a waste disposal bags or closed impermeable container. Do not attempt to break tiles after they are in the bag. When all tiles , mastic and sorbent material have been removed from the floor and placed in polyethylene waste bags at least 6-mil thick or closed containers, seal the bags securely for dis- posal. "Shot blaster'' or "bead blaster" machines will not be allowed to remove the floor tile and mastic. Alternate removal techniques may be used if approved by the CIH . Asbestos Abatement Page 26 2.2.6 WALL AND CEILING TEXTURE The asbestos texture will be kept wet and removed by wet scraping or as intact sheetrock and ceiling tile sections utilizing hand tools and a low water volume, short distance power diffusing "Airless" sprayer. The asbestos plaster texture and texture on CMU block will be kept wet and removed utilizing hand tools and a low water volume, short distance power diffusing "Airless" sprayer. The minimum crew size for the operation is three: one member performs the actual removal, the second directs the spray wand at the work and the third worker collects and contains the wet ACM debris generated during the work . It is recommended that four workers be utilized in the procedure. The fourth person provides support during the work, making sure tools and supplies are readily available, and is on hand in case of emergency. All crew members should be trained in the use of the wet scraping procedure . The Contractor will erect critical barriers and establish negative air filtration. Rope off work area and place warning signs. Bring the necessary materials into the work area . Have a HEPA vac- uum system available at all times . The HEPA vacuum will be used to remove debris which may settle in remote areas such as corners , cracks or crevices in the work area. Make sure visible ACM debris and dust in the area have been wetted with amended water and cleaned with the proper methods before beginning the procedure to avoid confusion concerning the source of the material. Cover floor with a minimum of two layers of 6 mil plastic sheeting if flooring is not being re- moved, and cover wall surfaces with a minimum of two layers of 4 mil plastic sheeting . The top polyethylene sheeting layer may be removed as part of the detail cleaning process after gross removal. Hard hats, disposable clothing and full-face PAPR respirators will be worn by all persons per- forming the ACM removal. Establish negative air filtration in the containment before any removal operations take place. The containment may be smoke tested to assure the negative pressure inside the containment is adequately sealed. Assemble the smoke tube and bulb. Generate short bursts of smoke in the containment particularly at seams, joints and corners and critical barriers . Observe the direc- tion of the smoke trail. Watch for leaks, and seal any leaks with duct tape . Wet the plaster and surfacing material adequately to suppress any generation of airborne dust or debris, keeping it wet throughout the entire operation. As sections of ACM are removed , keep the material wet and shovel debris carefully into the bot- tom of a disposal bag. Wipe all cleaned surfaces with a wet rag and put the rag in the bottom of a 6 mil disposal bag. Rinse and wipe the inside of the disposal bag . Clean up any debris or water on the floor with wet rags and/or the HEPA vacuum. Asbestos Abatement Page 27 As in any asbestos related project, the work area should be kept free of debris. Any contamina- tion should be cleaned up immediately. When the work day is complete , (or as soon as the pro- ject is complete) the work area should be cleaned using wet methods and a HEPA vacuum. All asbestos material and associated debris should be removed and placed in double layer 6 mil asbestos disposal bags before the end of the work day. Dispose of waste in accordance with regulations for asbestos waste found in these specifications. Workers should pass through a complete three-stage wet decontamination facility prior to exit- ing the building. If a disposal bag develops a leak, stop work inside the containment. Catch the water in a plastic disposal bag. Lift and move the bag so that water stops running out. Do not "pump" the bag in a way that would force air out. Twist the bag in the area of the puncture to form a stem, dry the surface and tape it securely closed. Clean up the contaminated water and debris from the floor immediately using wet methods and the HEPA vacuum. Dispose of the waste properly. 2.3. DISPOSAL OF ACM AND ACE WASTE MATERIAL: 2.3.1. GENERAL: The Asbestos Abatement Contractor will dispose of friable ACM and debris which is packaged in accordance with these specifications at the approved landfill . Dispose of non-friable ACM in accordance with the applicable regulations for friable asbestos . The transporter must be li- censed in accordance with the Texas Department of State Health Services Asbestos Rules and Regulations. The truck transporting the waste must have the following noted on the shipping papers , manifests and trucks: Hazardous Material Proper Shipping Name: hazardous substance solid , N.O.S. DOT Hazard Class: Class 9 PG . Ill Identification Number: NA 2212 (friable waste) Reportable Quantity: RQ Name and Address of Generator 2.3.2. PROCEDURES: Carefully load containerized waste on sealed trucks for transport. Ensure that unauthorized persons do not have access to the material outside of the work area . Take bags from the work area directly through the EDF process to a sealed truck. Double bagged material may be trans- ported in open trucks only if they are first loaded in sealed drums. Label drums with same warn- ing labels as bags . Dispose drums as contaminated, do not attempt to empty them for reuse . Advise the sanitary landfill operator, at least twenty-four hours in advance of transport, of the quantity of material to be delivered. At the burial site , sealed plastic bags may be carefully Asbestos Abatement Page 28 dumped from the truck. If bags are broken or damaged, leave in the truck and decontaminate entire truck and contents using procedures set forth elsewhere in this section. 2.4. PROJECT DECONTAMINATION: 2.4.1. GENERAL: The entire work of project decontamination will be performed under the close supervision and monitoring of the Owner's Representative. 2.4.2. WORK AREA CLEARANCE: Air testing and other requirements which must be met before release of Contractor and reoccu- pancy of the work area are specified elsewhere in this Section. Air Clearance will be performed utilizing Phase Contrast Microscopy with an airborne level of <0 .01 Flee. 2.4.3. WORK DESCRIPTION: The work of decontamination includes the decontamination floor and air within the work area and the decontamination and removal of temporary facilities installed prior to abatement work including Primary and Critical Barrier, Decontamination Facilities (PDF and EDF) and Negative Pressure Systems . The work of decontamination includes the cleaning, and decontamination of all surfaces (ceiling, walls, floor) of the Work Area, or equipment in the Work Area. 2.4.4. PRE-DECONTAMINATION CONDITIONS: Before decontamination work starts, all ACM and ACE will be removed from the work area and disposed of along with any gross debris generated by the work. At the start of work for decontamination, the following will be in place: 1 Critical barrier which forms the sole barrier between the work area and other portions of the building or the outside. 2. Critical barrier sheeting over lighting fixtures, ventilation openings, doorways, convectors, speakers and other openings. 3. Decontamination facilities for personnel and equipment in operating condition and nega- tive pressure system in operation. 2.4.5. FIRST CLEANING: The Asbestos Abatement Contractor will carry out a first cleaning of all surfaces of the work area including items of remaining sheeting, tools, scaffolding and/or staging by use of damp- cleaning and mopping, and a HEPA filtered vacuum. Do not perform dry dusting or dry sweep- ing. Use each surface of a cleaning cloth one time only and then dispose of as contaminated waste . Continue this cleaning until there is no visible debris from removed materials or residue on plastic sheeting or other surfaces . Remove all filters in air handling system(s) and dispose of as asbestos containing waste in accordance with requirements of these specifications . Asbestos Abatement Page 29 2.4.6. SECOND CLEANING: If the Asbestos Project Manager is not satisfied with the first cleaning, the Contractor will per- form a second cleaning inside containment. If the containment fails to pass final air clearance criteria , the Contractor will perform additional wet cleaning inside containment. 2.4.7. PRE-CLEARANCE INSPECTION AND TESTING: The Owner's Representative will perform a thorough and detailed visual inspection at the end of the second cleaning to determine whether there are any signs of visible ACM or dust in the work area. If the visual inspection is satisfactory , the Contractor will then encapsulate all surfaces in- side the containment. Final air clearance will be performed in accordance with these Specifica- tions . 2.4.8. LOCK-BACK ENCAPSULATION: With the express permission of the Owner's Representative, the Asbestos Abatement Contrac- tor will perform a lock-back encapsulation of all surfaces from which ACM was removed . Exe- cute in accordance with provisions specified elsewhere and performance requirements as speci- fied in Paragraph 2.2.2 of this Specification . Maintain negative pressure in work area during en- capsulation work. 2.5. FINAL AIR CLEARANCE TESTING 2.5.1. GENERAL: The Asbestos Abatement Contractor will notify the Owner's Representative in advance for the performance of the final visual inspection and testing. The final air clearance will be performed by the Owner's Representative starting after completion of the encapsulation of the containment and the material is dry. 2.5.2. FINAL TESTING: After a satisfactory final visual inspection and encapsulation, The Owner's Representative , will undertake the final testing . Air samples will be taken and analyzed in accordance with the pro- cedures for PCM specified elsewhere in this section. If release criteria are not met, the con- tractor will repeat final cleaning and continue decontamination procedure from that point. Addi- tional inspection and testing will be at the expense of the Contractor. If results of PCM air samples are satisfactory, remove the critical barriers and shut down and remove HEPA units as specified under Abatement Closeout. Any small quantities of residue material found upon removal of the plastic sheeting will be removed with a HEPA filtered vac- uum cleaner and localized isolation. If significant quantities, as determined by the Owner's Consultant, are found then the entire area affected will be decontaminated as specified herein for the Final Cleaning . If release criteria are met the Contractor will perform the abatement closeout and issue the cer- tificate of compliance in accordance with these specifications . Asbestos Abatement Page 30 2.5.3. FINAL TESTING PROCEDURES: CONTRACTORS RELEASE CRITERIA: Work in an area is complete when the work area is visually clean and airborne fiber levels have been reduced to less than 0.01 fibers/cc by PCM analysis. AIR MONITORING AND FINAL CLEARANCE SAMPLING: To determine if the elevated air- borne fiber counts encountered during abatement operations have been reduced to the speci- fied level, the Owner's representative will secure samples and analyze them according to the following procedures: 1. Fibers Counted: "Fibers" referred to in this section will be either all fibers regardless of composition as counted in the NIOSH 7400 method, or asbestos fibers of any size as counted using PCM; and 2.5.4. SCHEDULE OF AIR SAMPLES WITH PCM: The Owner's Consultant will perform background, perimeter and work area samples during con- struction and abatement. These samples will be analyzed by PCM. At least three (3) background samples will be taken before work begins for a baseline meas- urement. The Owner's Representative will sample at a rate of one sample per 1,000 sq. ft. of work area with a minimum of two area samples for small containment areas. A minimum of 1,250 liters of air will be collected for all baseline and clearance samples . From start of actual removal of asbestos-containing materials the Owner will take the following samples on a daily basis.

ASBESTOS ABATEMENT REPORT An asbestos abatement was conducted at the Apartment Complex located on Address Street in City , State on September 11 through October 4, 2007. The purpose of the asbestos abatement was to remove the following asbestos-containing material: ~ Approximately 230 square feet of floor tile and mastic; ~ Approximately 2,415 square feet of linoleum; ~ Approximately 90 ,560 square feet of sheetrock and ceiling systems throughout the facility; and ~ Approximately 85 linear feet of TSI from the mechanical room. The asbestos abatement contractor for the project was Total Abatement Systems located in Royce, Texas (TOH #80-0109). The asbestos abatement project management was performed by Industrial Hygiene and Safety Technology , Inc. (IHST). All work performed at this location conformed to published specificat ions and federal, state and local requirements and regulations. Mr. Stan Davis (DSHS Project Manager License #50-0269 and Air Monitoring Technician License # 70-0462) representing IHST , managed the abatement activities . Sections 2, 3 and 4 of this report list air sample collection points , dates and analyses . IHST analyzed the air samples utilizing the NIOSH 7400 Method. IHST participates in the AIHA Asbestos Analyst Registry (AAR) for Asbestos Analyst Test (Lab ID #11927) and the Proficiency Analytical Test (P.A.T.) IHST's laboratory meets all the requirements for Phase Contrast Microscopy (PCM) as defined in EPA 40 CFR Part 763.90 (i) (2) (ii) of the AH ERA regulations, and is licensed by the Texas Department of Health as an Asbestos Laboratory (DSHS #30-0010). The abatement of the floor tile , mas ti c, linoleum , sheetrock, and TSI was performed using wet removal methods inside a negative-pressure enclosure . The enclosure employed 6-mil polyethylene critical barriers over all openings into the work area and 4-mil polyethylene on the walls , a three- stage , wet decontamination unit and exhaust fan equipped with a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter used to obtain negative pressure inside the containment. The ACM waste was placed in double , 6-mil bags for proper disposal. Worker's protection during removal included half-face , dual-cartridge , air-purifying respirators , full-body disposable clothing, and rubber boots. Phase I of the asbestos abatement included prepping and pre-cleaning of the area. Phase II of the asbestos abatement was the actual removal of the ACM. The final phase consisted of bag-out and final cleaning . Air samples were collected during all abatement activities . The asbestos-containing waste was transported by B&B Waste Transit , Inc ., 1916 Bridgestone Drive , Corinth, Texas 76210 (TOH License #40-0327) to the DFW Landfill located at 1600 S. Railroad, Lewisville, Texas 75061 (State Permit #1025B). This report and subsequent documentation from lntercon Environmental, Inc. indicate that the areas where asbestos was removed are cleared for normal occupancy. Tracy K.

BASELINE AIR SAMPLES Baseline air samples were collected before the asbestos abatement began to determine pre- abatement airborne concentration of fibers. This enables a verification to be made that no air quality degradation is produced by the abatement. All air monitoring was done using air sampling pumps calibrated both before and after sample collection. The samples were collected on 25 mm filters and analyzed according to the NIOSH 7400 method using Phase Contrast Microscopy by an analyzed rated proficient in the Proficiency Analytical Testing (PAT) program . This program is a quality assurance program managed by the American Industrial Hygiene Association .

WORKING CLEARANCE SAMPLES Before any area was considered clean, an employee of IHST conducted a visual inspection to certify that all work areas had been thoroughly cleaned . An area was considered clean when no dust debris or residue was detected . Following the visual inspections(s), air samples were analyzed from around the abated area . When all area air samples were determined to be <0 .01 fibers/cc, as identified by Phase Contrast Microscopy (PCM), the area was considered safe for normal occupancy . All samples were analyzed in accordance with criteria listed in the NIOSH 7400 Method of fiber identification . The Certification of Visual Inspect ion and the Certification of Final Air Clearance are presented on the fo llowing pages .

(IHST), performed a visual inspection for Mold and collected microbial air samples at the Subject Property located at Property Address , City, State Zip . Mr. Client Contact with Client Name, authorized the assessment. It was initiated as a result a renovation which will require the removal of HVAC systems and various walls in the barracks . This section presents a brief summary of the important findings and recommendations developed during the study. Additional details and explanations are located in the appropriate sections of the main report. The assessment identified visible mold in various areas as outlined in Table 1. Areas with visible mold should be remediated in accordance with applicable Texas Department of State Health Services (TDSHS) Mold remediation rules . Air samples collected in the individual units indicates that excessive mold spores were identified in several units as outlined in Table 2 . It is hypothesized that the elevated mold spore counts are the results of the poor condition of the fan coil units in the individual rooms. Rust and stains were noted on air registers throughout the un its which would indicate excessive moisture. Purpose and Scope On November 19, 2007 Mr. Tracy Bramlett (MAC0144 , Expires 12-13-08) and Jason Redus (MAC0350 , Expires 3-4-08) both Texas licensed Mold Consultants with IHST, Inc. (IHST), performed a visual inspection for Mold and collected microbial air samples at the Subject Property located at Subject Property Address , City, State Zip . The purpose for the assessment was to prepare a report detailing the locations of visible mold and to collect microbial air samples to develop a baseline for the subject property. In accordance with Division 11 -Equipment of the specifications for work , Section 11.5.2 , total bioaerosol air sampl ing was performed prior to the commencement of remediation activities . The scope of this assessment was limited to evaluation of factors generally recognized by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH), the Occupational Safety and Health Admin istration (OSHA), the Texas Department of State Health Services (TDSHS) and established industry practices as capable of producing cond itions undesirable for the majority of normal , healthy occupants . Evaluation or determination of the effects of any such factors on persons with specific allergies, illnesses or other medical conditions is beyond the scope of this project. Materials and Methods The visual assessment for mold performed by IHST, Inc. included a thorough visual/ sensory inspection , as well as collection of various data , using battery powered vacuum pumps and specialized samples for laboratory ana lysis . IHST used results of the visual/ sensory inspection and analytical data to develop opinions regarding the various factors affecting indoor environmental condit ions of the area(s) assessed, as well as for development of appropriate corrective action recommendations. Unless otherwise noted in this section, IHST's inspection was limited to practically accessible areas , and the inspector used no destructive investigation techniques (i .e . puncturing or cutting holes in walls , removing baseboards , etc .).

Rema ining elements of this section provide an explanation of the procedures , tests and interpretative guidelines employed during the assessment. Visual I Sensory Inspection !HST performed a thorough visual inspection of the areas to be assessed , w ith close attention to detection of unusual or unpleasant odors and sensations . This inspection included the following specific parameters : • Check ing for ev idence of moisture intrusion (i.e ., st ains , w oo d ro t , w et or damp su bs trates , st anding water, etc.) on bu ilding mate ri als ; • Checki ng for v isib le mold growt h on bui lding substrates ; • Ex amina ti on of access ible ducts and grillwork for evidence of excess ive con tami nat io n or mo ld gro wt h ; and • Checki ng for oth er unus ual or suspect factors t hat cou ld negatively impact th e ove ra ll quality of t he indoor environme nt. Bioaerosol Sample Collection Bioaerosol samples were collected in all of the barracks and in common a reas to determ i ne airborne mold spore , pollen and mycelia cell concentrations . Three (3) outdoor reference samples were collected pr ior to and following samples collected from the indoor air spaces. The air samples were collected on Zefon Ai r-0-Cell filter cassettes . The samples were collected over a five (5) minute period with the pumps calibrated at fifteen (15) liters of air per minute . Samples were analyzed by Steve Moody Micro Services , Inc., of Carrollton , using Phase Contrast Microscopy (PCM). The laboratory holds accreditation by the T exas Department of State Health Services (License No . 30- 0084). The laboratory is also AIHA Accredited (AIHA EM PAT I D: 102577). No generally recogn ized standards have yet been codified for interpretation of bioaerosol sampling results . Unless otherwise noted, IHST applies the interpretations currently considered best industry practice , and classifies bioaerosol concentrat ions acceptable w hen t he following conditions are met: • The combined concentration of all spores in each indoor sample is less than the average combined concentration of spores in the outdoor samples ; • The concentration of each identified spore genus in each indoor sample is less t han the average concentration of the same genus in the outdoor samples ; and , • Spore genus identified in indoor samples that were not identified on one or both of the outdoor samples are present only at low concentrations . Assessment Location Description Building 36007 consists of a series of dormitory rooms and common area . The rooms consist of living space for two ind iv iduals with a refrigerator , sink, bathroom and shower. Walls are constructed with CMU blocks or sheetrock. Floors are either carpeted or have 12 " x 12 " floor tile . A single fan co il un it is located in each of the rooms . In general the fan coil units were in poor condition with visible rust on the reg isters from the moisture and condensation buildup .

Conclusions and Recommendations Nineteen (19) of the units evaluated will require mold remediation . The elevated air counts are primarily the results of the contaminated HVAC systems which will be replaced during the renovat ion of the units . IHST will prepare a Mold Remediation Protocol for the removal of mold in the identified units of building 36007 . Based upon these conclusions , !HST recommends that the nineteen units (19) identified in Table 1 be remediated by a Texas licensed Mold Remediation Contractor in accordance with applicable Texas Mold Regulations . The remaining units not identified in Table 1 will not require mold remediation unless during the demolition process , hidden mold is identified behind a wall or cabinet. The prime contractor should exercise care when removing the HVAC units in building 36007 . The systems should be removed intact where practical. During the removal of the HVAC systems by the prime contractor , worker's should wear a NIOSH approved N95 dust respirator. There are currently no state regulations regarding the air quality which would prohibit the prime contractor from working in the units which are not going to be remediated. Limitations The items observed and documented in th is report are intended to be representative of the conditions of the subject property on the inspection date .

Any problematic findings are explained in the table itself. When no problems are identified , a simple check mark is used to indicate this . Th is append ix explains , in greater deta il, what factors are evaluated for the categories listed in Table 1. Factor Evaluated Mo isture Intrus ion V isible Mo ld Criteria Used for Evaluation Ceilings , walls , attic areas , windows , baseboards , cabinets , dra in and faucet areas , carpet and floo ri ng are examined , as appropriate to the scope of the investigation , to determine areas of potential moisture intrusion . Such evidence can include actual water , sta ins , wood rot , visible mold growth , and measureme nts made us ing mo isture level meters . If no such ev idence is id e ntifi ed , the factor is eva luated as acceptable . All accessible surfaces in the area assessed are visually exam ined for ev idence of mold growth . Collection of samples for identification of mold are usually not necessary, but may be performed if a suspect growth cannot be clearly identifi ed as mold by the assesso r. If no v isible mold is identified on accessible surfaces, this factor is evaluated as acceptable . Airborne mold samples are collected to compare the indoor mold levels to the outdoor mold levels . Signifi cant elevation of indoor airborne mold spores can indicate that mold is actively growing and releas ing spores in the indoor environment. No generally recognized standards have yet been codified for interpretation of bioaerosol sampling results . Unless otherwise noted , IHST appl ies the interpretations cu rrently considered best industry practice , and classifies bioaerosol concentrations acceptable when the following conditions are met: • The comb ined concentration of all spores in each indoor sample is less than the average comb ined concentrat ion of spores in t he outdoor samples ; • The concentration of each identified spore genus in each indoor sample is less than the average concentration of the same genus in the outdoor samples ; and , • Spore genus identified in indoor samples t hat were not identified on one or both of the outdoor samples are present only at low concentrations .

This plan is intended to assist the Community Manager and employees of the Subject Property with the prevention , recognition and management of moisture and mold growth. The program provides the procedures for inspecting and maintaining appropriate conditions in the apartment complex in orde r prevent the accumulation of mold from water intrusion events . Molds can be found almost anywhere ; they grow on virtually any organic substance , as long as moisture and oxygen are present. There are molds that can grow on wood , paper, carpet, foods, and insulation . When excessive moisture accumulates in buildings or on building materials, mold growth w ith often occur, particularly if the moisture problem rema ins undiscovered or unaddressed . It is impossible to eliminate all mold and mold spores in the indoor environment. However, mold growth can be controlled indoors by controlling moisture. The keys to microbial contamination and mold prevention are moisture control and timely response to incidents of water intrusion or visible mold growth . When live mold spores encounter moisture from building problems such as flooding , water intrusion , an ongoing leak , or even high relative humidity , they may be able to grow. Once mold is established , the amount of mold may increase quickly and colonies can spread if enough moisture is available . Moisture control is the key to preventing and controlling mold problems. This document will summarize the procedures to be implemented by the Subject Property to manage moisture intrusion events . Property Description_ The Subject Property is considered a family development consisting of seventy two (72) units . There are eighteen (18) single story four unit build ings plus a community building , maintenance building and mail kiosk building . The Subject Property was built in 2005 . The apartments are constructed of post tension slabs , with the exterior of approximately 60% brick and 40% hardiplank . Wood framing w ith drywall interiors and floors of linoleum and carpet are located throughout the facility . Terms and Definitions Allergen Antimicrobial APR Biocide EPA Fungi Fungicide Subject Property A substance capable of causing an allergic reaction because of an individual's sensitivity to that substance . Agent that kills microbial growth . See "dis i nfectant," "sanitizer," and "sterilizer." Air purifying respirator Substance or chemical that kills organisms such as molds. Environmental Protection Agency Fungi are neither animals nor plants and are classified in a kingdom of their own . Fungi include molds , yeasts, mushrooms , and puffballs. In this document, the terms fungi and mold are used interchangeably. Molds reproduce by making spores. Mold spores waft through the indoor and outdoor air continually . When mold spores land on a damp spot indoors, they may begin growing and digesting whatever they are growing on. Molds can grow on virtually any organic substance, providing moisture and oxygen are present. It is estimated that more than 1.5 million species of fungi exist.

One of three groups of antimicrobials registered by EPA for public health uses . EPA considers an anti -microbial to be a sanitizer when it reduces but does not necessarily eliminate all the microorganisms on a treated surface. To be a registered sanitizer, the test results for a product must show a reduction of at least 99 .9% in the number of each test microorganism over the parallel control. Repeated or single exposure to an allergen that results in the exposed individual becoming hypersensitive to the allergen . Term that refers to a set of symptoms that affect some number of building occupants during the time they spend in the building and diminish or go away during periods when they leave the building . Cannot be traced to specific pollutants or sources within the building . Molds reproduce by means of spores. Spores are microscopic ; they vary in shape and size (2-100 micrometers). Spores may travel in several ways-they may be passively moved (by a breeze or water drop), mechanically disturbed (by a person or animal passing by), or actively discharged by the mold (usually under moist conditions or high humidity). Responsible Parties It is essential that any moisture control event be immediately reported to the Property Manager. The Property Manager must be immediately notified of the details of a water intrusion event, moisture accumulation or mold growth that has affected the property. All questions regarding mold , water damage , Subject Property Subject Property Address City, State Zip 76067 Page 4 of 26 Moisture Prevention and Control Program 12/18/2007 and indoor air quality should be directed to the Property Manager and Staff. Efforts should be made to respond within eight (8) hours following a water intrusion event in order to minimize the impacted areas . The Property Manager will coordinate with the staff to respond to the water intrusion event. Documentation of the event and subsequent actions will be placed in a file to be maintained at the Subject Property . Recognition of Moisture Intrusion Pathways and_Events _ It is essential that this moisture control plan be implemented to control moisture. As a general rule, the Subject Property will perform periodic inspections to determine if excess moisture is entering the buildings . Some general recommendations for moisture control are listed below: (1) Fix leaky plumbing and leaks in the building envelope as soon as possible . (2) Watch for condensation and wet spots. Fix source(s) of moisture problem(s) as soon as possible . (3) Prevent moisture due to condensation by increasing surface temperature or reducing the moisture level in air (humidity). To increase surface temperature, insulate or increase a ir circulation . To reduce the moisture level in air , repair leaks , increase ventilation (if outside air is cold and dry), or dehumidify (if outdoor air is warm and humid). (4) Keep heating , ventilation , and air conditioning (HVAC) drip pans clean , flowing properly , and unobstructed . (5) Vent moisture-generating appliances , such as dryers , to the outside where possible . (6) Maintain low indoor humidity, below 60% relative humidity (RH), ideally 30-50%, if possible . (7) Perform regular building/HVAC inspections and maintenance as scheduled . (8) Clean and dry wet or damp spots within 48 hours . (9) Don't let foundations stay wet. Provide drainage and slope the ground away from the foundation .

Subject Property Subject Property Address City, State Zip 76067 Page 12 of 26 Moisture Prevention and Control Program 12/18/2007 Part IV: Respo,n.ding to Incidents of Mold Growth Overview The property manager has the final authority concerning how a mold problem is handled at the Subject Property. That decision is largely a matter of judgement and depends on many situation- specific factors including budget considerations, potential liability , the perceived nature and extent of the problem, and the skill, experience and level of care that can be expected of those doing the work. It is strongly recommended that experienced, trained and skilled staff perform the mold removal work when contamination is extensive or beyond the abilities of the apartment staff. If greater than 25 square feet of mold is to be removed, the Subject Property will hire a Mold Consultant and mold remediation contractor licensed in the state of Texas . However, when small amounts of mold growth are found, maintenance personnel should be able to remove contamination by carefully and conscientiously applying the following general procedures . • Identify source(s) of excess moisture and begin to remove excess moisture as soon as possible . • Correct source(s) of, and reasons for, excess moisture . This may be costly and may require system changes and structural repairs . • Trap or capture as much surface mold growth as possible from access ible surfaces as soon as visible mold is found: • Vacuum all visible mold growth using a HEPA vacuum; a shop vacuum is not adequate . • Carefully and systematically damp clean surfaces to remove and capture surface growth . Work damp, not wet. • Determine if the material{s) supporting surface mold growth can be cleaned or should be removed and discarded : • Porous materials (includ ing manufactured or processed wood products) remove , enclose in plastic sheeting or bag, and discard all porous materials , goods and furnishings which have or had visible mold growth or strong mold odors. • Non-porous materials (including solid wood items) thoroughly clean all visible growth and soiling from non-porous surfaces which have or had visible mold by scrubbing with an all- purpose cleaner or detergent solution (for final wiping steps, use clean water). • Expand cleaning to areas and materials in the vicinity of the visible mold growth. This includes areas where it is likely that occupant traffic or activities may have carried contaminants from the primary sites of growth . Use methods that can capture and trap mold particles , such as HEPA vacuuming and damp cleaning (no sweeping, dry dusting, brushing). • Determine if disinfection is needed or desirable. For example, when hard-surfaced porous materials are impractical to replace, such as concrete or cement walls or floors , they should be disinfected with a detergent solution after cleaning as described above . The solution should be applied by light misting or wiping on to avoid runoff; treat the entire area that supported visible growth . The surfaces should be kept damp with the solution for at least 30 minutes and ideally up to two hours, rinse , then allow to air dry . • Allow or facilitate complete drying of all materials wet from excess moisture , cleaning activities, or disinfection solution. Dehumidifiers, fans , and ventilation with dry warm air are among the methods that may be used to speed drying . Complete drying to normal levels may take days or weeks. • Perform final inspection for signs of continuing presence of excess moisture and/or return of mold growth before rebuilding or refurnishing . If growth reappears , repeat cleaning steps Subject Property Subject Property Address City, State Zip 76067 Page 13 of 26 Moisture Prevention and Control Program 12/18/2007 and disinfect again using a stronger bleach solution and allowing longer contact time . Consider that regrowth may indicate that the material supporting the growth should be removed and/or that excess moisture has not been controlled adequately . Texas Regulatory Consideration~-------·· May 16 , 2004 , the Texas Department of State Health Services adopted the Texas Mold Assessment and Remediation Rules 295.301 . This rule contains requirements for the licensing and registration of persons performing mold assessments and mold remediation, requirements for the accreditation of mold training providers , min imum work standards for the conduct of mold assessments and remediation by licensed and registered persons, a code of ethics , and penalties. ~on-Regulated Qua '!~!ies of Mold A person is not required to be licensed to perform mold remediation in an area in which the mold contamination for the project affects a total surface area of less than 25 contiguous square feet. The Subject Property will conduct minor mold removal operations of less than 25 contiguous square feet. Regulated Quantities of Mold When greater than 25 contiguous square feet of mold is discovered , the Subject Property will utililize the services of a licensed mold consultant and contractor. A licensed mold assessor or mold consultant must perform a mold assessment of the area to be remediated. The licensed mold consultant will take the mold assessment and develop a mold remediation protocol which will define the procedures to be used for the mold remediation . At the conclusion of the mold remediation , the mold consultant will perform a visual inspection for mold and collect clearance samples to assure the remediation is successful. Initial Mold Assessment The purpose of a mold assessment is to determine the sources , locations and extent of mold growth in a building , to determine the condition(s) that caused the mold growth , and to enable the assessment consultant to prepare a mold remediation protocol. If samples for laboratory analysis are collected during the assessment: (1) sampling must be performed according to nationally accepted methods ; (2) preservation methods shall be implemented for all samples where necessary; (3) proper sample documentation , including the sampling method , the sample identification code, each location and material sampled , the date collected , the name of the person who collected the samples , and the project name or number must be recorded for each sample ; (4) proper chain of custody procedures must be used ; and (5) samples must be analyzed by a laboratory licensed by the Texas Department of State Health Services . Development of Mold Remediation Protocol After the mold assessment has been completed , a mold assessment consultant will then prepare a mold remediation protocol for each project and provide the protocol to the Subject Property before the remediation begins . The mold remediation protocol will specify: (1) the rooms or areas where the work will be performed ; Subject Property Subject Property Address City, State Zip 76067 Page 14 of 26 Moisture Prevention and Control Prog ram 12/18/2007 (2) the estimated quantities of materials to be cleaned or removed ; (3) the methods to be used for each type of remediation in each type of area; (4) the PPE to be used by remediators. A minimum of an N-95 respirator is recommended for all mold remediation projects . Using professional judgment, the consultant may specify additional or more protective PPE if he or she de termines that it is warranted ; (5) the proposed types of containment, to be used during the project in each type of area ; and (6) the proposed clearance procedures and criteria, for each type of remediation in each type of area Mold Abatement A licensed remediation contractor will be selected for projects greater than 25 square feet. The contractor will prepare a mold remediation work plan based on a mold remediation protocol and shall provide the mold remediation work plan to the Subject Property before the mold remediation begins . The remediation contractor will remove the contaminated mold in accordance with the mold remediation protocol. Clearance Testing For a remediation project to achieve clearance , a licensed mold assessment consultant will conduct a post- remediation assessment using visual , procedural , and analytical methods . If walk-in containment is used at a project site, the post-remediation assessment shall be conducted while the walk-in containment is in place . The post-remediation assessment will determine whether: ( 1) the work area is free from all visible mold and wood rot; and (2) all work has been completed in compliance with the remediation protocol and remediation work plan and meets clearance criteria specified in the protocol. The post-remediation assessment will, to the extent feasible , determine that the underlying cause of the mold has been remediated so that it is reasonably certain that the mold will not return from that remediated cause . An assessment consultant who determines that remediation has been successful shall issue a written passed clearance report to the client at the conclusion of each mold remediation project. The report must include the following : ( 1) a description of relevant worksite observations ; (2) the type and location of all measurements made and samples collected at the worksite; (3) all data obtained at the worksite , including temperature, humidity, and material moisture readings; (4) the results of analytical evaluation of the samples collected at the worksite; (5) copies of all photographs the consultant took ; and (6) a clear statement that the project has passed clearance . Certificate of Mold Remediation At the conclusion of the mold remediation , the mold assessment consultant and the mold remediator will send to the Subject Property a Certificate of Mold Remediation .

Introduction Jason Redus , a Mold Assessment Consultant licensed by the Texas Department of State Health Services (TDSHS) (License No .: MAC0350), representing Industrial Hygiene and Safety Technology , Inc. (IHST), developed the following mold assessment and remediation protocol for microbial-contaminated surfaces in the Automation Wing south stairwell of the Fort Worth Subject Property Name located at Subject Ad- dress in Fort Worth, Texas . The requirements presented in this protocol are based on the results of a mold assessment conducted by Mr. Redus on August 22 , 2007 . The source of moisture intrusion is the result of water condensation on the walls of the unconditioned stairwell. 1. 1 Verification of Asbestos Material Prior to performing remediation work activities that would disturb interior building materials in the facility , verification from sample documentation should be performed to determine what materia ls , if any, contain asbestos at one percent or greater by definition of the EPA and the Texas Department of State Health Services (TDSHS). For the purposes of this project no building materials will be d isturbed , thus verifica- tion of materials is not needed . Section 2. Scope of Mold Remediation Protocol The goal of this remediation protocol is to effectively remove mold contam ination from the areas listed in Table 1, Areas of Mold Contamination to be Remediated, as required by 295 .321 of TDSHS mold regula- tions . Any changes to this mold remediation protocol after initiation and prior to the completion of the pro- ject must be included as an amendment to this plan , included in it's entirety in Appendix A. Assessment Photographs are included in Appendix B. Table 1. Areas of Mold Contamination to be Remediated Buildini:1 Floor and Room Description of Surfaces Affected ARTCC Automation Wing • Painted surfaces of the plaster/cement wall in the basement South Stairwell portion of the stairwell • Approximate quantity of mold-contaminated wall surface to clean: 400 square feet (SF) Section 3. Remediation Protocols 3. 1 Occupancy During Abatement The Automation Wing South Stairwell should rema in vacated until remediation work is completed and fi- nal clearance for re-occupancy of the stairwell is achieved . Building occupants will not be required to evacuate the facility premises during the mold remediation . The containment design should allow the ac- cess to unaffected areas in the ARTCC , where feasible . 3.2 General Procedures and Practices In all situations , the underlying cause of moisture intrusion should be rectified or fungal growth will recur. Any identified water infiltration should be stopped immediately. An immediate response to the issue(s) followed by drying , dehumidification , cleanup , and removal of water-damaged materials will prevent or IHST Job No . Subject Property Automation Wing South Stairwell ----------------------- Page 3 of 10 limit mold growth. Delay in response may prevent effective cleaning and disinfection utilizing recognized abatement techniques . 3.3 Removal Protocols • The Contractor will erect a full containment in the south sta ir well of the Automation Wing to enclose the area affected by moisture and mold damage . Air scrubbers with high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters will be used in the containment and to provide negative pressure during removal. Criti- cal barriers will be established over vents and openings into the containment. • The Contractor will clean using wet abrasive methods (i.e . brushes , scouring pads, sanding , etc .) on exposed concrete surfaces in the containment. Abrasive cleaning methods should be followed with HEPA vacuuming . • Clean and disinfect the walls using Fiber/ock IAQ 2000 solution or equivalent. Thoroughly wet wipe and HEPA vacuum the walls , floor surfaces and around penetrations in the containment during final detail cleaning . • The Contractor will place the removed and resulting waste material into 6 mil bags inside the con- tainment to prevent excessive mold particulate dispersal. The bags will be sealed and cleaned in the containment. The bags will then be removed for disposal as non-hazardous waste . Please see following Protocol drawing for reference .

Section 4. Personal Protective Equipment All personnel entering the regulated work area to perform , observe , or inspect abatement activities will be required to wear Tyvek disposable coveralls , and nitrile gloves . Each worker will be requ ired to don respi- ratory protection in the form of a half-face air-purifying respirator with NIOSH-approved HEPA filters. The Contractor shall ensure the workers are instructed and trained in the proper use , maintenance , and care of respiratory protection in accordance with Title 29 CFR 1910.134. Section 5. Post-Remediation Clearance Assessment 5. 1 Visual Inspection After the mold has been removed and the work area cleaned, a detailed visual clearance inspection w ill be conducted to determ ine if the fungal contamination has been completely removed . The Contractor will perform a comprehensive cleaning prior to the settling period and final sampling . After the visual inspec- tion has been completed the contractor will encapsulate all surfaces w ith IAQ 6100 or equivalent. Final air testing will be performed 24 hours after the encapsulant has been applied to surfaces. 5.2 Final Clearance Air Testing 5.2.2 Methods and Procedures for Air Testing The post remediation assessment will be conducted with the containment in place. At the conclusion of mold remed iation activities , final a ir clearance samples will be collected at one (1) location inside the con- tainment to determine the effectiveness of the remediation, and if the environment is secure for occu- pancy . Two (2) samples will be collected outdoor for comparison purposes . The air samples will be collected on Zefon Air-a-cell filters . Slit impaction sampling methods collect both "viable" and "non-viable" mold spores , as well as biological and non-biological particles . Slit impaction sampling is capable of simultaneously determining the presence and concentration of the most common bioaerosols , and providing simultaneous analys is of other potential allergen surrogates (skin cells , plant fragments, etc .) and inorganic particulate contam inants including fibers, inorganic dust, and combustion emissions . The samples will be analyzed for the presence of viable and non-viable mold spores and genus identifica- tion by phase contrast microscopy. The methods of preparation and analysis of samples including a ir, micro-vacuum , tape , and bulk samples , which are used to identify and quantify spores, pollen , and other particulates and gives total spore , w ill be conducted by a laboratory accredited by the American Industrial Hygiene Association Environmental Microbiology Laboratory Accreditation Program (EMLAP). The air samples will be submitted to a TDSHS-licensed Mold Analysis Laboratory for a priority rush analy- sis , which should provide the analytical results within twenty-four (24) hours after submission . 5.2.3 Interpretation of Clearance Air Sample Results IHST considers the indoor environment acceptably clean when fungi present indoors are well represented in the outside air. The indoor fungi concentrations should also be two (2) to three (3) times less than out- side levels due to mechanical filtration . However low airborne levels of mold spores identified indoors but not outdoors are typically considered acceptable because of the variability of mold concentrations over a IH ST Job No. Su bj ect Prope rty Automation Wing South Stairwel l Page 5 of 10 period of time .

Such businesses are now regulated by the Department of State Health Services (DSHS), based on legislation passed in 2003 (Texas Occupations Code, Chapter 1958 ). Under the Texas Mold Assessment and Remediation Rules (Rules) ~ TAC §§295.301-295.338 ), all companies and individuals who perform mold-related activities will have to obtain appropriate licensing from the department by January 1, 2005. Applicants must meet certain qualifications, have required training and pass a state exam in order to receive their licenses. Mold remediation workers must have training and be registered with the department. Laboratories that analyze mold samples must also be licensed and meet certain qualifications. The rules set minimum work standards that licensees must follow and require them to follow a code of ethics . To prevent conflicts of interest, the rules also prohibit a licensee from conducting both mold assessment and mold remediation on the same project. How can I know if someone is licensed? A licensed individual is required to carry a photo ID issued by the department with a license number on it. The names of currently licensed companies and individuals are available on the Mold Licensing Program website at: www.tdh.state.tx.us/beh/mold . What is "mold assessment?" Mold assessment involves an inspection of a building to evaluate whether mold growth is present, and to what extent. Samples may be taken to determine the amount and types of mold that are present; however, sampling is not necessary in many cases. A mold assessment consultant is responsible for developing a mold remediation protocol, that specifies the estimated quantities and locations of materials to be remediated, the proposed methods to use and clearance criteria that must be met. What is meant by "clearance criteria?" Clearance criteria refer to the level of "cleanliness" that is to be achieved by the persons conducting the mold clean up. It is very important that you understand and agree with the assessor prior to starting the project what an acceptable clearance level will be, including what will be acceptable results for any air sampling or surface sampling for mold. There are no national or state standards identifying a "safe" level of mold. Mold spores are a natural part of the environment that are always present at some le vel in the air and on surfaces all around us. See below for more information about post-remediation assessments. What is "mold remediation?" Mold remediation is the clean up and removal of mold growth from surfaces and/or contents in a building. It also refers to actions taken to prevent mold from grow ing . Mold remediators must follow the mold remediation protocol described above and their own mold remediation work plan that provides specific instructions and/or standard operating procedures for how the project will be done . Before a remediation project can be deemed successful , a post-remediation assessment must be conducted by a mold assessment consultant. This is an inspection to ensure that the work area is free from all visible mold and wood rot, the project was completed in compliance with the remediation protocol and remediation work plan, and meets all clearance criteria that were specified in the protocol. The assessment consultant must give you a passed clearance report documenting the results of this inspection. If the project fails clearance, further remediation as prescribed by a consultant will be necessary. What is a Certificate of Mold Remediation? No later than 10 days after a mold remediation job has passed a clearance inspection, the remediation contractor is required to give you a Certificate of Mold Remediation. This certificate must also be signed by the licensed mold assessment consultant who conducted the post-remediation as sessment. The consultant is required to state on the certificate that the mold contamination identified for the project has been remediated and whether or not the underlying cause of the mold has been corrected. (That work may involve other types of professional services that are not regulated by these rules, such as plumbers or carpenters.) Receiving a Certificate of Mold Remediation documenting that the underlying cause of the mold was remediated is an advantage for a homeowner . This certificate prevents an insurer from make an underwriting decision on the residential property based on previous mold damage or a claim for mold damage. If you later sell your property , the law requires that you provide the buyer a copy of all Certificates of Mold Remediation you have receiv ed for that property . How is a property owner protected if a mold assessor or remediator does a poor job or actually damages the property? The rules require licensees to have commercial general liability insurance in the amount of $1 million, or be self-insured, to cover any damage to your property . Before hiring anyone , you should ask for proof of such insurance coverage. You may wish to inquire if the company carries additional insurance, such as professional liability/errors and omissions (for consultants) or pollution insurance (for contractors), that would provide additional recourse to you, the consumer, should the company fail to perform properly. How is my confidentiality protected if I share personal information about myself with a company? The code of ethics in the rules states that licensees are required to the extent required by law , to keep confidential any personal information about a client (including medical conditions) obtained during the course of a mold-related activity. If you desire more privacy, you may be able to negotiate a contract to include language that other personal information be kept confidential unless disclosure "is required by law." However, licensees are required to identify dates and addresses of projects and other details that can become public information . How do I file a complaint about a company? Anyone who believes a company or individual has violated the rules can file a complaint with the Department of State Health Services. For more information on this process and to obtain a complaint form, call (800) 293-0753, or download the complaint form at www. tdh.state. tx. us/beh/mold. Can property owners do mold assessment or remediation on their own property without being licensed? Yes. A homeowner can take samples for mold or clean up mold in his own home without a license . An owner, or a managing agent or employee of an owner of a residential property owned by that person is not required to be licensed, unless the property has 10 or more residential dwelling units. For non-residential properties, an owner or tenant, or a managing agent or employee of an owner or tenant, is not required to be licensed to do mold assessment or remediation on property owned or leased by the owner or tenant, unless the mold contamination affects a total surface area of 25 contiguous square feet or more . Please refer to 25 TAC 295.303 for further details on exceptions and exemptions to licensing requirements. Where can I get more information? For more information about mold and the Texas Mold Assessment and Remediation Rules, please visit the Mold Licensing Program website at www.tdh.state.tx.us/beh/mold, or contact program staff at 512-834-4509 or 800-293-0753. ************************************************************************************************************ *State law [25 TAC 295.306(c)] requires a licensee, except for a mold analysis laboratory, who is overseeing mold-related activities, to give each client a copy of this Consumer Mold Information Sheet before starting any mold-related activity.

A mold remediation was conducted from December 05 to December 08 , 2006 , and was carried out in the manner proscribed by the Mold Remediation Protocol (MRP). • Two walk-in , negative pressure containment areas were constructed ; 1. one containing the south wall of the Telecommunications office. 2. one containing the office of Bob Graham. As directed by the protocol, • The Contractor erected a full containment around the affected area of the exterior wall in the Telecommunication room and Bob Graham 's office. Air scrubbers with (high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters were used in the containment and to provide negative pressure during removal. Critical barriers were established over vents and openings into the containments. • Telecommunication Office: The Contractor removed the moisture affected drywall , baseboard trim, and wall insulation to expose the plaster. The Contractor then removed the water damaged plaster to the original ceramic brick on the exterior of the building where required . • The Contractor exposed the drywall cavities allowing access . The wood frame surfaces affected with moisture and mold were cleaned. An inspection of the wall cavity following the initial removal was performed by Ken Warner. • The Contractor then removed the paneling and sheetrock on the southwest corner of Bob Graham's office. • The Contractor cleaned using abrasive methods (i.e. brushes , scouring pads , sanding, etc.) on exposed wood framing and concrete floor surfaces in the containments . Abrasive cleaning methods were followed with HEPA vacuuming . The Contractor then cleaned and disinfected the interior wall cavities using Fiberlock IAQ 2000 solution. The containment was then thoroughly wet wiped and HEPA vacuumed the exposed wall 2 cavity, floor surfaces and around plumbing penetrations in the containment during final detail cleaning. • The Contractor then placed the removed and resulting waste material into 6 mil bags inside the containment to prevent excessive mold particulate dispersal. The bags were sealed and cleaned in the containment. The bags were then removed for disposal as non-hazardous waste. • A zipper flap was installed over the doors and air scrubbers will be used in the rooms. The initial post-remediation inspection and clearance testing was performed in the office of Bob Graham on December 6 , 2007. The analytical results of this test indicated that Aspergillus/Penicillium levels were 1,220 spores/m 3 . No Aspergillus/Penicillium was detected outdoors, therefore, this containment was not cleared and additional cleaning was required . On December 7, 2007, clearance testing was performed in the Telecommunications office . The results of this testing indicates that the Telecommunications office is cleared for normal occupancy . On December 8, 2007 an additional clearance test was performed in the office of Bob Graham . The results of the testing in the office of Bob Graham indicate that it is clear for occupancy . Results of the clearance testing are included as Appendix A of this report . Post-remediation clearance testing was successful , and the results of the final post remediation inspection in the remediation areas are as follows : 1. The visual assessment determined that the work areas and identified abatement areas were free of visible mold; 2. All of the work at the project was completed in accordance with the remediation protocol and remediation work plan ; 3. The results of the clearance air testing indicate that the Telecommunications office and Bob Graham 's office have achieved clearance and the areas are secure for occupancy . The containment can be removed for subsequent repair and refinish work . The air samples were collected on Zefon Air-o-cell filte rs . Slit impaction sampling methods collect both "viable " and "non-viable " mold spores , as well as biological and non-biological particles. Slit impaction sampling is capable of simultaneously determining the presence and concentration of the most common bioaerosols , and providing simultaneous analysis of other potential allergen surrogates (skin cells , plant fragments , etc .) and inorganic particulate contaminants including fibers , inorganic dust , and combustion em issions . IHST cons iders the indoor environment acceptably clean when total fungi present indoors are well represented in the outside air. Low airborne levels of mold spores identified indoors but not outdoors are typically considered acceptable because of the variability of mold concentrations over a period of time. 3 A total of eight (8) air samples were collected at the building, three (3) inside the containment areas, and six (6) outside the building . Sample results are included as Appendix A to this report . Photographs are included as Appendix B to this report . The Post Remediation Assessment indicates that the mold remediation was successful, and no further action is required. An open trench in the basement was observed in the basement of the building. Water was also observed in the trench . The trench should be sealed to prevent the accumulation of water and subsequent water vapor which may cause additional water damage in the future.

The post remediation assessment and air testing was performed on October 4 , 2007 and October 12 , 2007 . Mr Doug Easley representing IHST observed the cleaning activities on October 12, 2007 to assure compliance with the Mold Remediation Protocol. LVI followed the remediation protocols on October 12, 2007 . The Walk-in containments were used for the project and were in place when the clearance inspection was performed . The results of the post remediation assessment have determined the following : 1. The visual assessment determined the abatement area was free of visible mold and wood rot; 2. The work at the project was completed in accordance with the remediation protocol and remediation work plan ; 3. The results of the clearance air testing indicate the abatement area achieved the protocol clearance criteria, and the stairwells were secure for occupancy. It should be noted that the south stairwell did not pass the clearance on October 4, 2007. The Contractor was required to re-clean the area the south stairwell. On October 12 , 2007 , an additional clearance was performed at the south stairwell. The results of the testing on October 12, 2007 indicate that the south stairwell passes the clearance criteria .

(I HST) performed an Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) assessment of the Annex Building at Main Street, City , State. The purpose of the inspection was to assess the indoor environment and air quality, and identify source/s of an indoor odor complaint in the building . The scope of the assessment included the collection of air samples for mold , napthalene, and indoor air quality documenting carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, temperature , and relative humid ity. The assessment also included a visual inspection of the building interior, including offices, meeting rooms , bathrooms and heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems noting sources of moisture intrusion and potential indicators of indoor air contaminants . Assessment Results Air sample analysis detected no unusually amplified indoor airborne fungal spore levels or mold species and airborne fungal levels were not at levels that constitute an unacceptable health risk to bu ilding occupants in the annex building . Air quality monitoring of relative hum idity , temperature , carbon dioxide , carbon monoxide and ultra-fine particle concentrations were found w ithin acceptable ranges for an office-building environment. A mothball odor was noted present in the hallways and several offices in the building , and mothballs were reported distributed in the ce iling plenum in the past to detour squirrels and rodents entering the building. Air sample analysis detected low concentrations of naphthalene (a component of mothballs) at 0 .042 and 0.043 parts per million (ppm) collected in the west area of the building containing the human resources offices . Although these low airborne concentrations of naphthalene will impart some odor, the levels of airborne naphthalene were well below the exposure limit of 10 .0 ppm established by the Occupational Health Administration (OSHA) and the American Conference of Governmental Hygienists (ACGIH). A water intrusion with no sign ificant mold growth was identified affecting a plaster wall and carpet in an office on the northwest side of the building believed due to shifting and subsidence of the foundation in the office . During inspection , it was apparent there was significant shifting and cracking of the concrete foundation affecting the walls on the west s ide of the building . Although no extensive interior water damage or mold growth was identified , the extent of foundation shifting observed during the assessment, could present further interior water damage and mold concerns if not addressed . Purpose and Scope The purpose was to assess air qual ity conditions in the Client Name Annex Building . The scope of the assessment included the collection of air samples for naphthalene , mold , substrate moisture levels , and indoor air qual ity data documenting carbon dioxide , carbon monoxide, temperature and relative humidity . The Indoor Air Quality Assessment (IAQ) assessment was performed cons idering recommendations and guidelines of the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hyg ienists (ACGIH), the American Society of Heating Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the Texas Department of Safety Health Services (TDSHS) requirements .

Indoor air quality and comfort levels consisting of temperature , relative humidity, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide were documented utilizing a TSI , Model 8554, Q-Track Plus IEQ data logging monitor calibrated prior to the assessment. The instrument was programmed to collect a reading every thirty (30) seconds . These levels were compared to the American Society of Heating , Refrigeration , and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) standards regarding acceptable thermal environmental conditions for human occupancy . B). A TSI P-Trak Ultra fine Particle Counter (PTUPC) was used to measure the part iculate levels on the first and second floor during the survey in the building. The TSI P-Trak Model 8525 Ultra fine Particle Counter (PTUPC) was used to measure particulate levels between 0.02 and 0.1 micrometers to survey the area for possible sources of indoor pollutants generated from migrating exhaust gases . C). Bioaerosol samples were collected to determine airborne mold spore , pollen and mycelia cell concentrations . The air samples were collected on Zefon Air-0-Cell filter cassettes . The Zefon cassette is considered a slit impaction sampling method, which collects both "viable" and "nonviable" mold spores , as well as biological and non-biological particles . Slit impaction sampling is capable of simultaneously determining the presence and concentration of the most common bioaerosols, and provides simultaneous analysis of other potential contaminants including fibers , inorganic dust, and combustion emissions, if requested . The samples were collected over a five (5) minute period with the pumps calibrated at fifteen (15) liters of air per minute . Samples were analyzed by staining with Lacto Phenol Cotton Blue and modified Calberlas Stain. Spores are then counted with a Phase Contrast Microscope . The Zefon Air-0-Cell samples and tape lift surface samples were analyzed by Steve Moody Micro Services, Inc ., of Carrollton , Texas (AIHA EMPAT ID : 102577 and NVLAP No. 102056). The laboratory holds accreditation by the Texas Department of State Health Services (License No . 30- 0084). D). Relative moisture levels of interior building wall and floor substrates were measured using a Tramex non-destructive moisture meter and Delmhorst J-4 moisture meter to investigate areas for water intrusion and elevated moisture of interior building substrates such as drywall , baseboards , cabinets and wood components. Typically , relative moisture content of building substrates less than 15% are considered normal , assuming an outdoor relative humidity level in the range of forty (40) to sixty (60)%. E). SKC Airchek 2000 air sample pumps were utilized to collect the three (3) air samples for napthalene in the building . The sample pumps were calibrated prior to and following sampling events using a BIOS DryCal DC-1 primary flow calibrator. A SKC charcoal tube (226-01) was used to collect the air sample for napthalene . Each napthalene sample was collected at a flow rate of 0.5 liters of air per minute (Lpm), and analyzed by the NIOSH 1501 test method . Galson Laboratories, an American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) accredited laboratory (ELAP #11626), was contracted to perform the naphthalene air sample analysis. The air samples were stored cold after sample collection and during shipping to the laboratory prior to analysis . Sample Results Zefon Air-0-Cell sample results for airborne mold are organized in Table 1, and the results of the indoor temperature , carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and relative humidity are included in Table 2. Naphthalene sample analysis results are listed in Table 3.

State and federal agencies continue to support and recommend following nationally accepted methods, guidelines and procedures to investigate indoor bioaerosols that impact the air quality in a building . Since January 1, 2005 , the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) has established rules and regulations for minimum work practices and license requirements when conducting mold assessments and mold remediation . Generally, airborne microbial species present in the indoor environment should be representative of the species in the outdoor environment, but to a significantly lesser degree . In addit ion , indoor air samples should not contain uncharacteristic or amplified levels of fungal genera .

To minimize the potential of developing a moisture base suitable for microbial growth and ma intain a comfortable environment , RH values should be maintained between 30% and 50%. Air quality sample data revealed an acceptable average indoor relative humidity of 48 .8% compared to outdoors at 67% and 72%. Generally , the indoor relative humidity should be mainta ined below sixty percent (60%) to prevent introduction of elevated moisture that can support microbial progress ion increase odors in the building . Carbon dioxide was monitored primarily as an indicator of adequate ventilation . Indoor carbon dioxide levels below 1,000 parts per million (ppm) generally indicate the ventilation is adequate to deal with the human occupancy load in a given room or area of the building. Levels of carbon dioxide sustained above 1,000 ppm , may show acute health effects such as headaches , dizziness , restlessness or malaise (feeling of discomfort) depending on personal characteristics such as age , gender, weight , health status and work activ ity. Carbon dioxide levels are expected to increase during the day from increased building occupancy and decrease when building occupancy is less . The level of carbon dioxide in a building is usually con trolled by increasing the amount of fresh air into the HVAC system or, in some cases , reducing the number of occupants in the building space . Overall , the interior carbon dioxide levels were acceptable, however, occupied areas in the Purchasing Office Area and Management Services area were noted marginally above 1,000 ppm when the air handlers are not running , indicating reduced outside fresh air ventilation in the building. Carbon monoxide is an odorless , colorless , tasteless gas . It is formed as the result of incomplete combustion of carbonaceous material. Hot water heaters , gas stoves , and gasoline engines are some examples of potential sources for carbon monoxide . Health effects from carbon monoxide exposure can range from fatigue at ten parts per million (10 PPM) to serious injury or fatality at 1500 parts per million (PPM) for a one hour exposure . The ASHRAE Standard sets exposure levels at a maximum of 35 PPM of CO for 1-hour exposure (not to be exceeded more than once per year), and a maximum of 9 PPM of CO for 8-hour exposure (not to be exceeded more than once per year). The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienist (ACGIH) sets a threshold limit value of 25 PPM CO for an 8-hour exposure. Indoor carbon monoxide levels in the building ranged from 0.0 to 0.8 ppm and no areas surveyed harbored elevated carbon monoxide concentrations . IHST Job No .

The increase of ultra-fine particles noted in the lobby and east hallway was suspected due to door entrance use and frequent exposure to outside air. No gases or aerosol fume point sources generating elevated ultra-fine particulate concerns were identified during the survey in the building . .

Air Handler Unit Inspection Heating , ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) was supplied to the from Heil rooftop air handler units . Return air was circulated back to the air handler unit through the ceiling plenum in the offices and common areas . The lobby entrance utilized a ceiling air handler unit with a roof top air condenser. IHST's criteria to assess the overall cleanliness condition of air handling units are based on recommendations from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) General Specifications for the Cleaning of Commercial, Heating, Ventilating and air Conditioning Systems guidelines . Air handling units should be operated in a clean condition . If significant accumulations of contaminants or debris are visually observed within the HVAC system , then cleaning is necessary . Furthermore, if evidence of microbial contamination is visually observed or confirmed by analytical methods , then cleaning is necessary . If the HVAC system discharges visible particulate into the occupied space , or a significant contribution of airborne particles from the HVAC system into the indoor ambient air is confirmed, then corrective maintenance and/or cleaning is also necessary. NADCA recommends HVAC systems be at least routinely inspected for cleanliness by visual means . An annual inspection interval is recommended for light industrial air handler unit and duct systems . The need for more frequent clean liness inspections may be subject to environmental , mechanical and human influences. "Heavy Particle Loading " require cleaning and/or replacement and may attain a level of contamination capable of restricting air flow, causing moisture build-up , and create a potential for microbial growth on porous duct lining . "Moderate Particle Loading" indicate components which harbor debris , and if not removed , increase surface particulate accumulation and restricted air flow . Accumulated dirt/debris on the interior of AHU can also be an amplification site for microbial growth in the presence of appropriate temperatures , relative humidity , and moisture . An interior inspection of the roof top air handler units revealed the units in good conditions with clean air filters and a light amount of particle loading on the evaporation coils and inte rior duct liner.

Air filters were reported changed every three months . The air handler units are approximately nine (9) years old , and not equipped with cooling economizers. As a result, outside fresh air intakes are generally not ut ilized due to the summer heat load on the units . Discussion and Observations The purpose of the inspection was to assess air quality conditions and identify potent ial source/s that could impact indoor air quality in the Client Name Annex building . Mr. Lee Fordyce, with the Client Name Environmental Services Department, was present during the inspection. Photographs of observations are provided in Appendix B. The Annex building consisted of a c ity office building occupied by individuals working for the Human Resources , Facilities, Management Services , and Purchasing Departments. The building was constructed of steel beam and brick masonry built on a concrete pier and beam and part ial slab foundation . The roof was flat built up tar and gravel , and reported replaced approximately eight (8) years ago . The interior was finished primarily with carpeted floors , sheet rock or plaster walls , and 2'x2 ' or 2'x4 ' lay-in acoustical ceiling tiles . Tiled floors were used to finish the restrooms , break rooms and entry foyer . Building use and occupancy was primarily for office work consisting of part itioned offices , office cubicles and conference rooms . During inspection , a mothball odor was noted prevalent in the hallways and several offices in the building . An interview with personnel familiar with the history of the building reported city maintenance distributed mothballs in the ceiling plenum to detour squirrels and rodents entering the building . An inspection of the ceiling plenum did reveal past signs of squirrel and rodent activity above the ceiling . No mothballs were found during the inspection . A water intrusion with no significant mold growth was identified affecting a plaster wall and carpet in an office on the northwest side of the building bel ieved due to shifting and subsidence of the foundation in the office . During inspection , it was apparent there was significant shifting and cracking of the concrete foundation affecting the walls on the west side of the building . Although no extensive interior water damage or mold growth was identified , the extent of foundation shifting observed during the assessment, could present further interior water damage and mold concerns if not addressed . Minor signs of water sta ins were observed on ceiling tiles , however, inspection above the stained tile reveled no signs of active water leaks . Moisture stains and wood deterioration was observed along the base of the interior windows , and evidence of accumulated moisture condensation was observed on the wood windowsill ledges . No additional odor sources or areas of water damage or outside moisture intrusion was ident ified , and no evidence of water leaks were observed around plumb ing penetrations in the building . Conclusions and Recommendations An interpretation of the air sample analysis results revealed no unusually amplified spore counts or mold species in the Annex building and the indoor species were representative of species detected outdoors on the day of sampling . Indoor airborne fungal spores were not at levels that constitute an unacceptable health risk to building occupants . Air sample analysis detected low concentrations of naphthalene (a component of mothballs) collected in the west area of the building containing the human resources offices . Although these low airborne concentrations of naphthalene w ill impart some odor, the levels of airborne naphthalene were well below the exposure limit of 10 .0 ppm established by the Occupational Health Administration (OSHA) and the American Conference of Governmental Hygienists (ACGIH) as a health risk .

(972) 478-7415 2235 Keller Way, Carrollton, TX 75 005 _____________ ____ ___ _____ _____________________ ___ _ ___________ Fa x (972) 47 8-76 15 Low airborne concentrations of naphthalene odor will likely remain present in the building from the past distribution of mothballs in the ceiling plenum and is expected to linger in the building until slowly dissipating over time from natural degradation , humidity and ventilation. During inspection , it was apparent there was significant shifting and cracking of the concrete foundation affecting the walls on the west side of the building . Although no extensive interior water damage or mold growth was identified, the extent of foundation shifting observed during the assessment, could present further interior water damage and mold concerns if not addressed . Based on these conditions and sample results , IHST recommends the following : • Repair the water intrusion affecting the plaster wall and carpet in the office on the northwest side of the building . The source of the water intrusion appears to be from stress cracks along the wall due to shifting and subsidence of the slab foundation in the office . The carpet and water damaged wall should be replaced with dry , clean material. • A structural eng ineering study is recommended to determine the extent of foundation damage and structural repair needed to stabilize the building and prevent further wall and foundation damage that could introduce potential water intrusion issues. • Consider improving the outside fresh air intake abilities of the HVAC system in the building to reduce accumulations of carbon dioxide levels during occupancy. • As a long-term improvement consideration, replacement of the single pane windows with more energy efficient double pane windows is recommended to remove interior condensation problems and moisture accumulation along the windowsills . • In all situations, address incidents of interior water damage and water intrusions promptly to clean and dry interior building materials that become wet and eliminate the source of water intrusion within twenty-four (24) to forty-eight (48) hours of discovery. Materials that cannot be dried in a timely manner, or are too porous to clean should be removed . IHST Job No .

Indoor Environmental Qual ity Assessment Client Name -Annex Bu ilding Ma in Street City , Texas Page 14 of 14 IHST Standard Operating Procedure IHST Standard Operating Procedure Indoor Environmental Quality Assessments Purpose and Scope IEQ Assesments This guidance bulletin explains the basic procedures and criteria to be used by IHST employees performing routine indoor environmental quality assessments . This SOP cannot address all potential situations, due to the highly variable nature of potential contaminants . The IH should always exercise judgment and experience , and focus particular attention on specific complaints or conditions which suggest additional or alternative evaluation measures . The majority of indoor environmental quality assessments will also include assessment for potential mold growth . Refer to the Mold Assessment SOP for additional details on Mold Assessment. These guidelines may not apply to atypical situations involving health care or other sensitive facilities, structures not intended for human occupancy , or to manufacturing , distribution or warehousing environments. They may not apply to unusual situations involving asbestos-containing materials, hazardous chemicals or other modifying conditions or factors. General Considerations • Discuss with the client before the assessment the nature and scope of the assessment. Determine whether the assessment is intended to address a specific complaint or problem area , or whether the assessment is intended as a general facility assessment. • Gather as much information as possible on building conditions and history prior to the assessment. Ensure that you have appropriate equipment for access to and inspection of potentially affected areas , and reasonably anticipated sampling media and equipment. • Specifically determine whether it is acceptable to interview employees regarding complaints and conditions . Visual / Sensory Inspection Perform a thorough visual inspection of the areas to be assessed , with close attention to detection of unusual or unpleasant odors and sensations . Photograph areas/ locations of interest. Include the following specific parameters in the visual / sensory inspection : • Checking for evidence of moisture intrusion (i.e ., stains , wood rot , wet or damp substrates , standing water , etc.) on building materials ; • Checking for visible mold growth on building substrates; • Checking for evidence of chemicals , products , equipment, plants or operations that could compromise indoor environmental quality ; • Examination of accessible ducts and grillwork for evidence of excessive contamination or mold growth ; SOP -IEQ -Assessments Page 1 of 4 IHST Standard Operating Procedure IEQ Assesments • Inspection of accessible air handl ing units (including filters , coils and catchpans) for evidence of excess ive contamination or mold growth ; • Review of the filter change and maintenance schedules for air handling units ; • Checking for excessive dust bu ildup , detritus , evidence of pests , and overall cleanliness of the areas affected ; and , • Checking for other unusual or suspect factors that could negatively impact the overall quality of the indoor environment. Real-Time Data Collection Use real-time instruments to collect readings relevant to indoor environmental quality . Collect data as follows : • Temperature • Relative Humidity • Carbon Dioxide • Ultra fine Particles Bioaerosol Sample Collection Collected bioaerosols if deemed appropriate and authorized by the client. Chemical Sampling Appropriateness , type and method of chemical sampling must be determined on a case-by-case basis . Use laboratory-specified media and analytical procedures . Avoid unnecessarily broad testing , which is not reasonably targeted to site-specific complaints , and unlikely to yield significant information . Also review available occupational and non-occupational exposure recommendations for potential contaminants. Avoid collection of samples for materials w ithout defined exposure standards , applicable and appropriate for the studied environment; data is likely to raise questions which have no real answers . Additional Guidelines for Assessment Result Interpretation The following table provides key gu idelines for interpretation of commonly evaluated IEQ factors . Factor Evaluated Moisture Intrusion Visible Mold -Airborne M old Criteria Used for Evaluation Ceil ings , walls , attic areas , windows , baseboards , cab inets , drain and faucet areas, carpet and flooring are examined , as appropriate to the scope of the investigation , to determine areas of potential moisture intrusion . Such ev idence can include actual water, sta ins , wood rot , visible mold growth , and measurements made using moisture level meters . If no such evidence is identified , the factor is evaluated as acceptable . A llaccessible surfaces in the area assessel are v is-ually examined for evidence of mold growth . Collection of samples for identification of mold are usually not necessary , but may be performed if a suspect growth cannot be clearly identified as mold by the assessor. If no visible mold is identified on accessible surfaces , this factor is evaluated as acceptable . Ai rborn e moldsamples are collected to compare the indoor mold levels to the o utdoor mold levels . Significant elevation of indoor airborne mold spores can indicate that mold is actively growing and releasing spores in the indoor environment. No generally recognized standards have yet been cod ified for interpretation of bioaerosol sampling results . Unless otherwise noted , IHST appl ies the interpretations currently considered best industry practice , and classifies bioaerosol concentrations acceptable when the following conditions are met: • The combined concentration of all spores in each indoor sample is less than the average combined concentration of spores in the outdoor samples ; • The concentration of each identified spore genus in each indoor sample is less than the average concentration of the same genus in the outdoor samples ; and , SOP -IEQ -Assessments Page 2 of 4 IHST Standard Operating Procedure IEQ Assesments Factor Evaluated HVAC System Ductwork Animal Detritus Unusual Odors Sanitation Carbon Dioxide Temperature Relative Humi dity P articulates Criteria Used for Evaluation • Spore genus identified in indoor samples that were not identified on one or both of the outdoor samples are present only at low concentrations . Accessible components of the HVAC system are visually examined for evidence of mold growth , inappropriate moisture accumulation , filter condition and overall cleanliness and maintenance. This examination generally includes heating/cooling coils , drip pans , filters , fans and fan motors, dampers, vibration isolators and intake / outflow components . If the HVAC components are functional and free of excessive dust and debris accumulation , no mold growth or moisture accumulation is evident, and filters exhibit only light to moderate loading , this factor is evaluated as acceptable . Accessible areas of air supply and exhaust ducts, registers and grills are examined fo r evidence of excessive particulate accumulation , moisture accumulation/condensation and mold growth . Some accumulation of particulate matter is normal on these surfaces . If particulate accumulation is not excessive, no moisture/condensation is present , and no mold growth is evident , this factor is evaluated as acceptable . Floors , furniture ,ceiling spaces and other surfaces are examined for evidence of urine , feces , hair or other fragments from pets , rodents and insects . If no urine or feces is evident, and accumulation of hair and/or insect fragments is minimal , this factor is evaluated as acceptable . Areas assessed are subjectively evaluated by the assessor, to determine the presence and magnitude of musty odors, waste odors , chemical odors and other odors not typical for the area being assessed . If the inspector does not detect such odors, this factor is evaluated as acceptable . Accessible ar eas are e x a-mined foro ve-rall cleanliness , including accumulation of dirt, grime , debris , waste materials, food and drink. Waste storage areas and containers are examined for evidence of inappropriate service, use and maintenance . If the area exhibits a reasonable degree of overall cleanliness , appropriate for the intended occupancy , this factor is evaluated as acceptab le . carbon dioxide readings are used as surrogates to ev aluate fiie effectiveness o f fresh afr delivery to occupants . Excessive carbon dioxide levels may indicate insufficient mixing of fresh air, creating a buildup of odors and normally present air contaminants , as well as increasing sensations of 'stuffiness '. Carbon dioxide levels of 1000 parts per million (ppm) or less are considered acceptable per ASH RAE . Levels exceeding 1000 ppm generally indicate an insufficiency of fresh air supply or mixing . Levels in the range of 1000 -1500 ppm and greater may be associated with increasing complaints of odors or stuffiness. If carbon dioxide levels are less than or equal to 1000 parts per million (ppm), this factor is evaluated as acceptable . Temperature readings are primarily used to determine whether the assessed indoor space meets current American Society of Heating , Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) recommendations for comfort of occupants . ASHRAE currently recommends a temperature range of 72 -76 °F for indoor office environments . ASHRAE recommendations are not applicable to non-office environments , such as production floors , loading docks , etc. Temperature measurements are also used in conjunction with relative humidity readings to determine dew points for assessed areas . If temperatures fall within a range of 70 -78 °F for office or classroom environments , this factor is evaluated as acceptable . For non- office/classroom settings, other temperature ranges may be used , appropriate to the intended occupancy . For example , a broader temperature range would be considered acceptable in the entry foyers and hallways of a large commercial building . These readings are primarily used to determine whether the assessed indoor space meets current American Society of Heating , Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) recommendations for comfort of occupants . ASHRAE currently recommends a relative humidity range of 40 -60% for indoor office environments . ASHRAE recommendations are not applicable to non-office environments, such as production floors , loading docks, etc. Continued excessive relative humidity (> 65%) may indicate a favorable environment for growth of mold , mildew and wood rot. Relative humidity measurements are also used in conjunction with temperature readings to determine dew points for assessed areas . Ultra fine particles range insizes between 0.02 and 0 .1 micrometers and include co mmo n indoor air pollutants such as tobacco smoke and automobile exhaust. Indoor measurements SOP -IEQ -Assessments Page 3 of 4 IHST Standard Operating Procedure IEQ Assesments Factor Evaluated Criteria Used for Evaluation are compared to outdoor measurement to evaluate the efficiency of the HVAC's filtration system to removal outdoor contam inants from the air . Ultrafine particulates can also be used to identify potential pathways for contaminant intrusion and migration . Interpretation of ultrafine particulate results is made us ing the profess ional judgment of the assessor , considering area-specific factors and intended occupancies of the area(s). This class ification is used for identification of any additional , site-specific conditions that may be identified during the assessment. If no such additional conditions are identified , this factor is e~lu ~ted as ~cceptab~ Project Finalization • If samples were collected , submit to lab ASAP • After receipt of lab results (if applicable) notify client verbally or in email of results . • Discuss findings and proposed recommendations with client. • Finalize IEQ assessment report. Include appropriate photographs and drawings. • If necessary, write MARP for mold remediation activities (see SOP for Mold Assessments) • Email reports to client , and submit for billing SOP -IEQ -Assessments Page 4 of 4 IHST Standard Operating Procedure Mold Assessments IHST Standard Operating Procedure Mold Assessments Purpose and Scope This gu idance bulletin expla ins the basic procedures and criteria to be used by IHST employees perform ing routine mold assessment s for surface mold . While a mold assessment may be included in an indoor environmental quality assessment , these guidelines may require modification or additional elements if part of a larger indoor e nvironmental quality assessment (see SOP for Indoor Environmental Quality Assessments). These guidel ines do not apply to atypical s ituations involving health care or other sens itive facilities , or structures not intended for human occupancy . They may not apply to unusual s ituations involv ing asbestos-conta ining materials , hazardous chem icals or other modifying conditions or factors . General Considerations • TDSHS regulat ions regulate quantities of mold which meet or exceed 25 contiguous square feet. The triggering quantity may be present in any configuration or shape . However, multiple patches of mold growth , with no sing le area meeting or exceeding 25 contiguous square feet area , are not regulated by the state. • Discuss with the client before the assessment the nature and scope of the assessment. Determine whether the assessment is intended to quantify a clearly defined area of existing mold growth or moisture intrusion , or whether the assessment is intended as a general facility inspection . • Specifically determine how the client would prefer to handle unregulated quantities of mold growth . Inform the client that, regardless of the mold quantity, if a mold abatement and remediation protocol (MARP ) is created to guide remediat ion efforts , the client is obligated to fo ll ow the requirements of the MARP , use a licensed mold remediation contractor for abatement activities , and perform post-remediation clearance testing . • Determine whether the client wishes to authorize destructive testing (i.e ., cutting holes in walls or ceilings , etc.), if deemed app ropriate by the mold consultant ons ite . • Determine whether the client wishes to have tape lift samples collected for positive identification of mold (not recommended , unless necessary to confirm presence of mold). • Determine whether the cl ient wishes to have air samples collected a .) if visual mold growth is present and/orb.) visual mold growth is not present. • Gather as much information as poss ible on building conditions and history prior to the assessment. Ensure that you have appropriate equipment for access to and inspection of potentially affected areas. SOP -Mold -Mold Assess Page 1 of 3 IHST Standard Operating Procedure Visual Inspection Mold Assessments Perform a thorough inspection of all pote ntially affected building surfaces and components . Specifically target areas with evidence of: • V isible mold growth and/or debris accumulation • V is ible moisture or water • Stains • Vinyl wall coverings • Wood rot • Other evidence of mold or moisture accumulation or damage If the assessment is intended as a general survey (instead of assessment of a clearly defined and limited area), specifically inspect the following areas : • HVAC system : Coils , dra in pans , drain lines , • W indow frames and s ills • Door frames • Cabinetry and drywall around/under sinks and faucets • Toilet flanges and surround ing f looring • Wash rooms , particularly washer connections and p iping chase • Ceilings • Closets and closet floors • Water heating and surround ing flooring / walls • Roofs and outside walls , ins ide attic • Around tubs , tub t iling and tub enclosures • Exterior and interior spaces (where practica l and appropriate) of outside walls , particularly in areas near sprinklers or showing evidence / potential for water accumulation • Accessible interior spaces of walls showing evidence of mold o r moisture intrus ion • Collect mo isture level readings of potentially affected interior drywall , CMU , carpet and , if accessible without damage , cracks in wood floo ring • Other potentially affected areas Site Drawings and Photographs • Mark all areas of v isible mold growth , moisture damage or moisture intrusion on the drawing . • Assessed areas should be photographed . • Each distinct area of v is ible mold growth , moisture damage or moisture intrusion should be photographed . • A drawing of the assessed area should be created during the assessment. • Location of photographs and samples should be indicated on the drawing , and explained in field notes . • Quantification of Affected Substrates SOP -Mold -Mold Assess Page 2 of 3 IHST Standard Operating Procedure Mold Assessments • Specifically indicate in field notes and drawings the location , description and quantity (in square feet) of all substrates and structural components affected by mold or moisture intrusion . Indicate whether each identified item should be removed or cleaned in place. • Record all identified sources of moisture intrusion , including location , description and magnitude of intrusion . Indicate locations of intrusion on drawing. If appropriate corrective actions are obvious , note them , as well. Sample Collection • Do not collect bulk samples of visible mold or air samples without a specific reason to do so . • Unless requested to do by the client , or necessary to confirm presence of mold , collection of tape lifts , swabs or bulk samples are generally a waste of time and money. TDSHS regulations make no distinction between species of mold , cleaning and post-treatment recommendations are not significantly influenced by the species of mold , and no widely accepted medical or scientific evidence indicates one particular species of mold is more harmful than another. If tape lifts are collected , note sample locations on field drawings . • Air samples are generally not recommended if visible mold is present. The mold will need to be addressed , regardless of the results of air sampling , and the air samples yield little additional data of value. • If no visible mold is present , bioaerosol sampling may be considered . The purpose of the sampling (in a strict mold assessment) would simply be to determine whether air samples results suggest a non-visible reservoir of mold somewhere in the airspace of the assessed area(s). It is possible , though by no means certain , the types of mold spores found could provide some clues as to the source or location of mold growth . The Mold Consultant must use their professional judgment and understanding of the clients needs and instructions in determining whether to collect bioaerosol samples . Project Finalization • If samples were collected , submit to lab ASAP • After receipt of lab results (if applicable) notify client verbally or in email of results , and prepare mold assessment report. Include appropriate photographs and CAD drawings . • If necessary, write MARP for remediation activities • Email report and MARP to client, and submit for billing SOP -Mold -Mold Assess Page 3 of 3 IHST Standard Operating Procedure Moisture Control Plan Development IHST Standard Operating Procedure Moisture Control Plan Development Purpose and Scope This guidance bulletin explains the basic procedures used by IHST personnel to develop a moisture management program (mold management plan) for typical client needs . An effective moisture management plan must be clear , concise and as free as practical of excess verbiage and overly burdensome procedural requirements . Conversely, the plan should specify certain routine inspections and response actions which will effective control unwanted moisture and subsequent mold growth . The fortunate aspect of moisture management is that the same underlying principles and techniques can be used effectively in a variety of settings . IHST has developed a standard template which provides a comprehensive but manageable plan , suitable for the majority of clients . Procedures and checklists can often be retained without significant modification . The plan should , however, be modified to include appropriate descriptions of build ings , areas targeted for inspection , key personnel , consultants and abatement contractors. The following section briefly summarizes the key topics for client discussion and plan customization . Plan Modification Considerations • Discuss with the client their past history of moisture intrusion and mold growth events . Use this information as a springboard for customization of the plan . Ensure the plan effectively addresses key cl ient concerns . • Frankly discuss the client the level of resources they are willing to commit to a moisture management program . Ensure the program matches well with the committed resources . It is better to have a smaller, less elaborate plan that id effectively implemented and maintained , than a large document which is impressive , but unusable . • Arrange for an onsite inspection to visually identify key areas for monitoring and inspecting as part of the moisture management plan . Take photographs of client-specific buildings and structural components and use those photographs in the plan documentation. • Discuss with the client any additional goals and training requirements they may have with regards to the moisture management program, Incorporate these as appropriate into the plan . • Discuss any issues relating to document formatting , rev is ion tracking and integration with existing health and safety , IEQ or facilities maintenance program . Provide the client with an example copy of the template and determine if the format appears acceptable . Work with the client to incorporate appropriate changes . • Attempt to have the client commit to specifying job titles which will be responsible for various elements of the plan , and incorporate those into the plan .

This plan is intended to assist the [DESIGNATED PERSON] and employees of the [LOCATION_NAME] with the prevention, recognition and management of moisture and mold growth . The program provides the procedures for inspecting and maintaining appropriate conditions in the apartment complex in order prevent the accumulation of mold from water intrusion events . Molds can be found almost anywhere ; they grow on virtually any organic substance , as long as moisture and oxygen are present. There are molds that can grow on wood , paper, carpet , foods , and insulation . When excessive moisture accumulates in buildings or on building materials , mold growth will often occur, particulary if the moisture problem remains undiscovered or unaddressed . It is impossible to el iminate all mold and mold spores in the indoor environment. However, mold growth can be controlled indoors by controlling moisture . The keys to microbial contamination and mold prevention are moisture control and timely response to incidents of water intrusion or visible mold growth . When live mold spores encounter moisture from building problems such as flooding , water intrusion , an ongoing leak , or even high relative humidity, they may be able to grow. Once mold is established , the amount of mold may increase quickly and colonies can spread if enough moisture is available . Moisture control is the key to preventing and controlling mold problems . This document will summarize the procedures to be implemented by the [LOCATION_NAME] to manage moisture intrusion events .

One of three groups of antimicrobials registered by EPA for public health uses . EPA considers an anti-microbial to be a sanitizer when it reduces but does not necessarily eliminate all the microorganisms on a treated surface. To be a registered sanitizer, the test results for a product must show a reduction of at least 99 .9% in the number of each test microorganism over the parallel control. Repeated or single exposure to an allergen that results in the exposed individual becoming hypersensitive to the allergen . Term that refers to a set of symptoms that affect some number of building occupants during the time they spend in the building and diminish or go away during periods when they leave the building . Cannot be traced to specific pollutants or sources within the building . Molds reproduce by means of spores . Spores are microscopic ; they vary in shape and size (2-100 micrometers). Spores may travel in several ways-they may be passively moved (by a breeze or water drop), mechanically disturbed (by a person or animal passing by), or actively discharged by the mold (usually under moist conditions or high humidity). Responsible Parties It is essential that any moisture control event be immediately reported to the [DESIGNATED PERSON]. The [DESIGNATED PERSON] must be immediately notified of the details of a water intrusion event, moisture accumulation or mold growth that has affected the property. All questions regarding mold , water damage , and indoor air quality should be directed to the [DESIGNATED PERSON] and Staff. Efforts should be made to respond within eight (8) hours following a water intrusion event in order to minimize the impacted areas. [LOCATION NAME] Page 4 of 23 Moisture Prevention and Control Program 12/20/2007 The [DESIGNATED PERSON] will coordinate with the staff to respond to the water intrusion event. Documentation of the event and subsequent actions will be placed in a file to be maintained at [LOCATION_NAME]. Recognition_ of Moisture Intrusion P!!thways and Events It is essential that this moisture control plan be implemented to control moisture. As a general rule , (LOCATION_NAME] will perform periodic inspections to determine if excess moisture is entering the buildings . Some general recommendations for moisture control are listed below : (1) Fix leaky plumbing and leaks in the building envelope as soon as possible . (2) Watch for condensation and wet spots . Fix source(s) of moisture problem(s) as soon as possible . (3) Prevent moisture due to condensation by increasing surface temperature or reducing the moisture level in air (humidity). To increase surface temperature , insulate or increase air circulation . To reduce the moisture level in air, repair leaks , increase ventilation (if outside air is cold and dry), or dehumidify (if outdoor air is warm and humid). (4) Keep heating , ventilation , and air conditioning (HVAC) drip pans clean , flowing properly , and unobstructed . (5) Vent moisture-generating appliances , such as dryers , to the outside where possible . (6) Ma intain low indoor humidity, below 60% relative humidity (RH), ideally 30-50%, if possible . (7) Perform regular building/HVAC inspections and maintenance as scheduled . (8) Clean and dry wet or damp spots within 48 hours . (9) Don't let foundations stay wet. Provide drainage and slope the ground away from the foundation. [LOCATION NAME] Page 5 of 23 Moisture Prevention and Control Program 12/20/2007 Part II: Inspections and Prevent·ve Maintenance Routine Inspections - - - Prevention of water intrusion events is the key to moisture control. The most effective way to prevent water intrusion and water damage is through periodic inspections. Proper maintenance of equipment and site conditions including routine inspections are essential to identifying and preventing potential moisture conditions and leaks that can lead to water damage and mold growth . HVAC Systems Periodic inspections of the HVAC system is essential to prevent moisture intrusion into the apartment un its . Inspect the fan coil units , look for condensation on coolant lines , standing water in the condensation drip pans, and dirty filters . Inspect air registers for visible mold . If visible mold is discovered on air registers , clean with a mild detergent. Plumbing and Appliances Kitchens Check accessible plumbing system , supply and drain lines , for any signs of leaks , present and past , and check for signs of mold . Operate and inspect faucets where not attached to an appliance such as a washing machine . Look for signs of water staining around plumbing fixtures .

(Use caution when applying heat to hardwood floors .) • Treated or finished wood surfaces may be cleaned with mild detergent and clean water and allowed to dry . • Wet paneling should be pried away from wall for drying . If mold growth has occurred or materials have been wet for more than 48 hours , consult Table 2 guidelines . Even if materials are dried within 48 hours, mold growth may have occurred . Items may be tested by professionals if there is doubt. Note that mold growth will not always occur after 48 hours ; this is only a guideline . These guidel ines are for damage caused by clean water. If you know or suspect that the water source is contaminated with sewage , or chemical or biological pollutants , then Personal Protective Equipment and containment are required by OSHA An experienced professional should be consulted if you and/or your remediators do not have expertise remediating in contaminated water situations . Do not use fans before determining that the water is clean or sanitary. t If a particular item(s) has high monetary or sentimental value, you may wish to consult a restoration/water damage specialist. § The subfloor under the carpet or other f looring material must also be cleaned and dried . See the appropriate section of this table for recommended actions depending on the composition of the subfloor.

[LOCATION NAME] Page 12 of 23 Moisture Prevention and Control Program 12/20/2007 P rt IV: Respond·ng to Incidents of Mold Growth Overview The [DESIGNATED PERSON] has the final authority concerning how a mold problem is handled at [LOCATION_NAME]. That decision is largely a matter of judgment and depends on many situat ion-spec ific factors including budget considerat ions , potential liab ility , the perceived natu re and extent of the problem , and the skil l, experience and level of care that can be expected of those do ing the work . It is strongly recommended that experienced , trained and sk illed staff perform the mold removal work when contamination is extensive or beyond the abilities of the apartment staff. If greater than 25 square feet of mold is to be removed , [LOCATION_NAME] will hire a Mold Consultant and mold remediation contractor licensed in the state of Texas . However, when small amounts of mold growth are found , maintenance personnel should be able to remove contam ination by carefully and conscientiously applying the following general procedures . • Identify source(s) of excess mo isture and begin to remove excess mo isture as soon as possible. • Correct source(s) of, and reasons for, excess moisture . This may be costly and may requ ire system changes and structural repairs . • Trap or capture as much surface mold growth as poss ible from accessible surfaces as soon as visible mold is found: • Vacuum all visible mold growth us ing a HEPA vacuum ; a shop vacuum is not adequate . • Carefully and systematically damp clean surfaces to remove and capture surface growth . Work damp , not wet. • Determine if the material (s) support ing surface mold growth can be cleaned or should be removed and discarded : • Porous materials (includ ing manufactured or processed wood products) remove , enclose in plastic sheeting or bag , and discard all porous materials , goods and furnishings which have or had visible mold growth or strong mold odors . • Non-porous materials (including solid wood items) thoroughly clean all visible growth and soiling from non-porous surfaces which have or had visible mold by scrubbing with an all-purpose cleaner or detergent solution (for final wip ing steps, use clean water). • Expand cleaning to areas and materials in the vicinity of the visib le mold growth. This includes areas where it is likely that occupant traffic or activities may have carried contaminants from the primary sites of growth . Use methods that can capture and trap mold part icles , such as HEPA vacuuming and damp cleaning (no sweeping, dry dusting, brushing). • Determine if d isinfection is needed or desirable . For example , when hard -surfaced porous materials are impractical to replace , such as concrete or cement walls or floors , they should be disinfected w ith a detergent solut ion after cleaning as described above. The solution should be applied by light misting or w iping on to avoid runoff; treat the entire area that supported visible growth . The surfaces should be kept damp with the solution for at least 30 minutes and ideally up to two hours , rinse , then allow to air dry . • Allow or facilitate complete drying of all materials wet from excess moisture , cleaning act iv it ies , or disinfection solution . Dehumidifie rs , fans , and ventilat ion with dry warm air are among the methods that may be used to speed drying . Complete drying to normal levels may take days or weeks . • Perform final inspection for signs of continu ing presence of excess moisture and/or return of mold growth before rebuilding or refurnishing . If growth reappears , repeat clean ing steps and disinfect again using a stronger bleach solution and allowing longer contact time . Consider that re-growth may indicate that the material support ing the growth should be removed and/o r that excess moisture has not been controlled adequately . [LOCATION NAME] Page 13 of 23 Moisture Prevention and Control Program 12/20/2007 _Te2<as _Regulat~ry Considerations May 16 , 2004 , the Texas Department of State Health Services adopted the Texas Mold Assessment and Remediation Rules 295.301. This rule contains requirements for the licensing and registration of persons performing mold assessments and mold remediation, requirements for the accreditation of mold training providers , minimum work standards for the conduct of mold assessments and remediation by licensed and registered persons, a code of ethics , and penalties. Non-Regulated Quantities of Mold A person is not required to be licensed to perform mold remediation in an area in which the mold contamination for the project affects a total surface area of less than 25 contiguous square feet. [LOCATION_NAME] will conduct minor mold removal operations of less than 25 contiguous square feet. Regulated Quantities of Mold When greater than 25 contiguous square feet of mold is discovered , [LOCATION_NAME] w ill utililize the services of a licensed mold consultant and contractor. A licensed mold assessor or mold consultant must perform a mold assessment of the area to be remediated . The licensed mold consultant will take the mold assessment and develop a mold remediation protocol which will define the procedures to be used for the mold remediation . At the conclusion of the mold remediation , the mold consultant will perform a visual inspection for mold and collect clearance samples to assure the remediation is successful. Initial Mold Assessment The purpose of a mold assessment is to determine the sources , locations and extent of mold growth in a building , to determine the condition(s) that caused the mold growth , and to enable the assessment consultant to prepare a mold remediation protocol. If samples for laboratory analysis are collected during the assessment: (1) sampling must be performed accord ing to nationally accepted methods ; (2) preservation methods shall be implemented for all samples where necessary ; (3) proper sample documentation , including the sampling method , the sample identification code , each location and material sampled , the date collected , the name of the person who collected the samples , and the project name or number must be recorded for each sample ; (4) proper cha in of custody procedures must be used ; and (5) samples must be analyzed by a laboratory licensed by the Texas Department of State Health Services . Development of Mold Remediation Protocol After the mold assessment has been completed , a mold assessment consultant will then prepare a mold remediation protocol for each project and provide the protocol to [LOCATION_NAME] before the remediation begins . The mold remediation protocol will specify : (1) the rooms or areas where the work will be performed ; (2) the estimated quantities of materials to be cleaned or removed ; (3) the methods to be used for each type of remediation in each type of area ; [LOCATION NAME] Page 14 of 23 Moisture Prevention and Control Program 12/20/2007 (4) the PPE to be used by remediators . A minimum of an N-95 respirator is recommended for all mold remediation projects . Using professional judgment, the consultant may specify additional or more protective PPE if he or she determines that it is warranted ; (5) the proposed types of containment, to be used during the project in each type of area ; and (6) the proposed clearance procedures and criteria , for each type of remediation in each type of area Mold Abatement A licensed remediation contractor will be selected for projects greater than 25 square feet. The contractor will prepare a mold remediation work plan based on a mold remediation protocol and shall provide the mold remediation work plan to [LOCATION_NAME] before the mold remediation begins . The remediation contractor will remove the contaminated mold in accordance with the mold remediation protocol. Clearance Testing For a remediation project to achieve clearance, a licensed mold assessment consultant will conduct a post- remediation assessment using visual , procedural , and analytical methods . If walk-in containment is used at a project site, the post-remediation assessment shall be conducted while the walk-in containment is in place . The post-remediation assessment will determine whether: (1) the work area is free from all visible mold and wood rot ; and (2) all work has been completed in compliance with the remediation protocol and remediation work plan and meets clearance criteria specified in the protocol. The post-remediation assessment will , to the extent feasible, determine that the underlying cause of the mold has been remediated so that it is reasonably certain that the mold will not return from that remediated cause . An assessment consultant who determines that remediation has been successful shall issue a written passed clearance report to the client at the conclusion of each mold remediation project. The report must include the following : ( 1) a description of relevant worksite observations; (2) the type and location of all measurements made and samples collected at the worksite ; (3) all data obtained at the worksite , including temperature, humidity , and material moisture readings; (4) the results of analytical evaluation of the samples collected at the worksite ; (5) copies of all photographs the consultant took ; and (6) a clear statement that the project has passed clearance . Certificate of Mold Remediation At the conclusion of the mold remediation, the mold assessment consultant and the mold remediation consultant will send to [LOCATION_NAME] a Certificate of Mold Remediation . A copy of the Certificate of Mold Remediation is included as Appendix F.

These guidelines apply to typical post- remediation visual inspection and analytical testing procedures . It may not apply to unusual situations involving asbestos-containing materials, hazardous chemicals or other modifying conditions or factors . If any of the criteria or procedures described here conflict with the requirements of a specific mold remediation protocol , then the requirements of that mold remed iation protocol will be used . General Considerations TDSHS regulations require visual inspection of remediated areas and some form of generally recognized analytical testing before a mold remediation can be considered complete . The mold abatement and remediation protocol (MARP) will specify the type of analytical testing required , and any special requirements for clearance . Read and be familiar with the requ irements of each MARP . The purpose of the clearance inspection and testing is to confirm that: • All mold-contaminated material has been cleaned or removed as specified by the MARP . • All remaining surfaces are completely free of visible mold , and have received any specified post- treatments . • Sources of moisture intrusion and/or mold growth , as specified in the MARP , have been eliminated . • The remediated area has been thoroughly cleaned , w ith no significant presence of debris or excess cleaning / surface treatment products . • Air inside the conta inment is free of excessive mold spores , which could indicate remaining mold spore reservoirs I inadequate cleaning / inadequate air filtration in containment. Document clearance assessment data using the attached form , Mold Remediation Clearance Form . Initial Visual Assessment Perform the visual assessment before beginning any analytical testing procedures. If the area fails the visual assessment, refuse clearance . Do not perform sample collection or other analytical procedures . Use the following general procedures , unless they conflict with the current MARP: 1. The contractor will inform IHST when a project is ready for clearance . SOP -Mold -Clearance Page 1 of 3 IHST Standard Operating Procedure Post-Remediation Mold Clearance 2 . Inspect the containment itself. The containment should be intact and properly sealed to prevent migration of mold spores into or out of the containment. 3. If the containment is not intact, fail the visual inspection . 4 . Enter the containment carefully , avoid unnecessary air movements which could cause migration of spores into or out of the containment. 5. Inspect the interior of the containment. It should be free of significant accumulation of dust and debris. If not clean , fail the visual inspection . 6 . Inspect the remediated area . Compare the materials and quantities of materials remediated to those specified in the MARP . If the two appear different, fail the visual inspection . 7 . Verify that all mold sources and moisture intrusion sources specified in the MARP have been eliminated . If not , fa il the visual inspection 8 . Verify that all remediated surfaces are completely free of v isible mold , wood rot and excess moisture . If not, fail the visual inspection . 9 . Verify that any required surface treatments or sealants have been applied as specified in the MARP . If not , fail the visual inspection . 10 . Verify there is no additional visible mold growth which was not specified in the MARP. If any visible mold is present in the containment, fail the visual inspection . If the visual inspection fails , stop . Do not proceed with collection of air samples or other analytical procedures specified by the MARP . It is a waste of the client's money , because the area cannot be cleared if it has failed visual inspection , regardless of the analytical results . Analytical Testing Procedures The MARP will specify the analytical testing procedure to be used . Unless otherwise specified in the MARP , IHST will typically collect one bioaerosol inside the containment, and two outdoor samples . 1. Instruct contractor to keep containment intact and undisturbed until analytical results are received from laboratory and reviewed 2 . Submit analytical samples to laboratory ASAP 3. Upon receipt of lab results , review and interpret in accordance with requirements of MARP Failed Clearances If a remediated area fails either visual or analytical portions of the clearance test , it cannot be cleared . 1. Inform the client and contractor of the failure immediately 2 . Inform the contractor of the reason(s) for the failure , and the appropriate corrective action(s) 3. Issue clearance failure letter to contractor and client ; retain for final report 4 . When the contractors reports corrective actions are complete , repeat the entire clearance procedure from the beginning Passed Clearances 1. Inform the client and contractor that the containment has passed 2 . Issue clearance letter to client and contractor; retain for final report SOP -Mold -Clearance Page 2 of 3 IHST Standard Operating Procedure Post-Remediation Mold Clearance 3. When CMDR received from contractor , sign and return to contractor; reta in copy for final report 4 . Prepare and issue final report to client 5.
