| Description | The contracted company will conduct remediation in accordance with the instructions in the attached assessment. The Township will remove or secure all moveable contents and belongings from the Farmhouse prior to the remediation process and provide clear access to the work area for the duration of the Remediation. Remediation shall consist of items 4 -12 from the EIH Recommended Plan of Action: 1. Construct poly containment barriers and zip walls to segregate the affected work areas from the remainder of the building and unaffected areas. 2. Operate HEPA-filtered air filtration units within the work areas and exhaust them to the exterior to place the work areas under negative pressure with respect to the balance of the building, remove airborne particulate (including mold spores) from the air, and to prevent microbial contamination of unaffected areas. 3. Operate HEPA-filtered air filtration units throughout the remainder of the building and set to recirculate/scrub to remove fugitive airborne particulate (including mold spores) from the air. 4. Operate Low Grain Refrigerant (LGR) units or similar industrial-grade dehumidification units within the work areas to dry remaining building materials exposed during the demolition process. 5. Wet, water-damaged, and/or mold-colonized gypsum wallboard (GWB) and plaster ceilings and walls must be removed and discarded. At a minimum, it is recommended that the following materials be removed: a. 2nd Floor Right Rear Room w/ stairs to Kitchen - Remove all water-damaged, waterstained, and/or moldy gypsum wallboard ceiling/wall materials and wood paneling. Inspect ceiling/wall cavities exposed by the demolition activities for additional damage and address accordingly. b. 2nd Floor Rear Bathroom - Remove all water-damaged, water-stained, and/or moldy gypsum wallboard ceiling materials. Inspect ceiling cavities exposed by the demolition activities for additional damage and address accordingly. c. All gypsum wallboard and plaster ceiling and wall materials and associated insulation materials shall be removed a minimum of 1’-2’ beyond any visible signs of water damage, staining, and visible mold growth. 6. Stained or visibly contaminated fibrous glass insulation or other loose insulating materials should be removed and discarded, as they cannot be effectively cleaned. Replace insulation with new materials following the completion of mold remediation activities. 7. Remove all visible debris from the work areas, HEPA-vacuum all exposed surfaces throughout the work areas, including but not limited to, wall cavities, wood framing, flooring, remaining contents, etc. No visible dust or debris associated with the work shall remain following remediation activities. 8. Damp wipe the affected surfaces (wood framing, etc.) with Zinsser Perma-Wash™, Microban®, or a similar detergent/disinfectant material or solution. DO NOT wet the surfaces by spraying, sponging, or otherwise excessively wetting the materials. Use a cloth that is saturated with the cleaning solution that has been wrung out to remove excess liquid. 9. Continue to operate the HEPA-filtered air filtration units within the work areas for a minimum of 48-72 hours following the completion of the mold remediation activities. The contracted firm shall conduct these and all other necessary demolition, cleaning, and sealing actions to contain, remove, and prevent the future development of microbial growth within the structure. The contracted firm shall be responsible for the disposal of all demolition debris. If the contracted firm encounters asbestos or asbestos containing material on the site, it should be handled in accordance with all applicable laws and safety regulations. The Township will engage EIH or a comparable firm to conduct a post remediation analysis to confirm remediation completion. | ||
