EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

ALL-TECH Environmental Services Limited was retained by the PEI Department of Transportation & Infrastructure Renewal (TIR) to conduct a mould assessment at Colonel Gray High School located at 175 Spring Park Road in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island.

The assessment was carried out on January 31, and February 1, 2011 to evaluate building components for potential water intrusion and the possibility of hidden mould contamination as well as signs of visible mould within the school. The findings were then used to provide recommendations for appropriate remedial actions and/or to recommend further investigative strategies, if necessary. Based on the assessment findings, the following conclusions and recommendations have been summarized: Conclusions & Recommendations Results of our mould assessment conducted on January 31 and February 1, 2011 indicate that overall, the extent of visible and potential mould growth throughout the school is relatively minor in each location identified (i.e. <10ft2 of visible/anticipated mould growth). However, in spaces where occupancy is limited (i.e. basement; fan room) there were larger scale mould issues. All of these locations have been noted in Table II. It appears that the conditions noted for the basement are primarily the result of water intrusion through the building envelope (foundation) which, if left unattended, may result in more extensive water damage and further mould contamination in the future. Further assessment into identifying the source(s) of water infiltration into the basement level is the key quality assurance to avoid additional structural damage and mould amplification. Although no significant impact is anticipated for the remainder of the school, the basement level should not be used for occupancy or storage of books or the like. Access should be limited by all and restricted to people with asthma, allergies or compromised immune systems. Visible mould was reported on mechanical air handling duct insulation in several areas throughout fan room. These materials should be considered suspect asbestos containing materials (ACM). Have materials tested for asbestos prior to disturbance work. Remediation work should be completed after hours. Air handling units should be shut off, critical openings and materials sealed/protected. Consult with Health & Safety professional for development of scope of work, remediation management and quality assurance as per CSA 82-04 mould guidelines for large scale mechanical rooms. There were evident signs of water stains on several ceiling tiles throughout the school as noted in Table III. There were only two areas identified with visible mould on the ceiling tiles as noted in table II. All ceiling tiles exhibiting evidence of water damage are recommended to be removed and replaced as a precautionary measure and to assist in detecting further water leaks. Removal of mould affected ceiling tiles should be completed using Level 1 precautions. Leaks noted on ceiling tiles were mainly related to mechanical issues with leaking pipes and condensation. No water intrusion issues were reported from roof leaks. Inspection above stained ceiling tile at end of corridor 1050 revealed debris that is suspect

ACM. Therefore, treat debris as ACM unless material has been tested and analyzed. Have materials removed by certified asbestos abatement workers. Areas noted with elevated moisture and / or minor visible mould around windows that require further investigation are summarized in Table III. Areas noted with visible mould on mechanical pipe insulation have been noted in Table II. It is recommended to have suspect materials tested prior to any disturbance work and to follow the applicable provincial asbestos regulations. Levels of remediation for any noted mould affected areas have been summarized in Table II based on the surface area. All work should be performed by workers who are properly trained in the hazards of mould remediation. The removal of water-damaged building materials and mould-contaminated building materials should be completed following Level 1, 2, and 3 mould remediation procedures as outlined the CCA Mould Guidelines for the Canadian Construction Industry, 2004, or equivalent. As a minimum, it is recommended that an independent inspection be conducted after remediation and repairs to verify adequate completion. Part of this inspection may include microbial air sampling to assist in the evaluation and aid in confirming appropriate conditions. If you have any questions concerning this report, please contact the undersigned directly.

1.0 INTRODUCTION ALL-TECH Environmental Services Limited was retained by the PEI Department of Transportation & Infrastructure Renewal (TIR) to conduct a mould assessment at Colonel Gray High School located at 175 Spring Park Road in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island.

The assessment was carried out on January 31, and February 1, 2011 to evaluate building components for potential water intrusion and the possibility of hidden mould contamination as well as signs of visible mould within the school. The findings were then used to provide recommendations for appropriate remedial actions and/or to recommend further investigative strategies, if necessary. 2.0 BACKGROUND

Constructed buildings must attain many goals to meet its intended purpose. The building must provide a comfortable, healthy environment for its occupants, it must be structurally sound, it must keep out elements such as rain, wind, snow, cold and heat, and it must provide these functions over an extended period of time. All of these functions are affected by moisture in one way or another. Uncontrolled moisture in buildings can cause adverse health effects to its occupants due to the growth of microorganisms, such as mould. Uncontrolled moisture can reduce the life span of buildings through premature degradation of building components. The building structure itself can become unsound due to uncontrolled moisture causing structural damage to wood and steel. In summary, uncontrolled moisture will virtually negate the goals of building designs. According to ASTM Practices for Increasing Durability of Building Constructions Against Water-Induced Damage (E241), except for structural errors, about 90 percent of all building construction problems are associated with water in some way. However, it will be impossible to completely eliminate moisture from buildings. In fact, moisture is necessary to prevent wood products from drying out and to alleviate upper respiratory discomfort, up to a point. The issue then is not to eliminate moisture from buildings but to properly control moisture as it cycles through the building. Indoor and outdoor environments naturally harbour a great variety of microscopic organisms such as mould. Prolonged exposure to excessive moisture enables microbes to flourish. If conditions are such that moisture is limited, then these microbes have a stable relationship with the built environment. However, when moisture accumulates more rapidly than the natural drying process, the ecology changes and favours the rapid amplification of mould.[1]

When dealing with mould/water damaged materials, the remediation will usually involve the removal of some building materials (i.e. drywall, wood, etc.).

3.0 MOULD IN INDOOR ENVIRONMENTS Mould is a naturally occurring and essential part of our environment as they act as decomposers, breaking down dead organic material (such as leaves, wood and other plant debris) which they use as a food source. Mould spores are brought into indoor environments through ventilation systems, open windows or doors, or tracked in on footwear. Therefore, mould is found in almost every indoor environment and a normal background population of mould spores on indoor surfaces and within indoor air should be expected. If conditions exist that allow mould to grow indoors, concentrations will increase to levels that are typically not found in buildings. Indoor mould growth occurs primarily as a result of water damage to cellulose-containing building materials and/or furnishings (such as wood, drywall, wallpaper, ceiling tiles, etc.) during catastrophic or chronic events such as leaks, floods, condensation (associated with high humidity or cold spots), improper design or operation of humidification systems, and building envelope failures. Under these conditions, mould growth may present a risk to the building structure itself (through decomposition of building materials) as well as to occupants in the building (through potentially adverse health effects). 4.0 MOULD ASSESSMENT & REMEDIATION GUIDELINES Regardless of the type or severity of health effects that may be caused by exposure to mould, mould growth inside a building should be considered unacceptable from a building operations and maintenance standpoint as well as from a health risk standpoint. Several government agencies and special interest groups have developed guidelines for the proper assessment and remediation of mould-contaminated buildings. In Canada, recent guidelines have been published by the Canadian Construction Association (CCA) entitled “Mould Guidelines for the Canadian Construction Industry” (March 2004)2. The above guidelines are similar in nature and incorporate elements common to several other guidelines issued by groups such as Health Canada4, the Manitoba Department of Labour7, the New York City Department of Health8, the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC)6, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)10. Common to all is the need to remediate contaminated building materials under controlled conditions, with the extent of safety measures employed based partially on the extent of contamination. In general, more stringent remediation methods, engineering controls and worker protection is required the more extensive the mould contamination. These requirements have generally been distinguished in the guidelines by employing different Levels of Remediation (e.g., Level 1, 2 or 3).

It should be noted that the remediation procedures summarized in Table I are not meant to be comprehensive. The summary is general in nature only, as specific recommended requirements vary slightly from guideline to guideline. Each applicable guideline should be consulted for a full description of their recommended remedial procedures. In addition, the procedures outlined above may not necessarily reflect procedures to be employed on every project, as specific procedures to be followed should be determined on a project by project basis, based on professional judgment. The general procedures outlined above also do not account for specific conditions that may be encountered, such as remediation in locations where immuno-compromised or other susceptible occupants may be present (e.g., hospitals or other health care facilities) or remediation of biohazards other than mould that may be present due to sewer backups, environmental floods or bird and bat droppings. Under these conditions, additional precautions may apply. There are no specific regulations in P.E.I. addressing mould contamination. However, according to Health Canada and the Canadian Construction Association (CCA) guidelines on assessment and remediation of fungi in indoor environments, building materials supporting mould growth should be remediated as rapidly as possible in order to ensure a healthy environment. Remediation of mould growth is based on an approximation of the extent of visible mould growth including the estimated extent of any hidden mould growth.

5.0 MOULD ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY Our assessment determination of the presence of mould growth and the extent included initial discussions with administration and / or safety chair about concerns and specific issues. A school background mould investigation form was sent to the school to complete and review with the on-site assessor. A site floor plan was provided for the school to visually assess each room as it related to the drawing. In order to assess the potential for and extent of mould growth (if any), our assessment consisted of a visual inspection of accessible areas and moisture content readings of representative building materials. If visible mould is observed, it is documented and noted based on the location and extent. If conditions are observed as extensive and categorized as high risk, than the Department of Education and TIR would be consulted for immediate action. In areas noted with cracked surfaces, blistering, water stains, etc., moisture content readings are taken from these surfaces to evaluate if conditions are conducive to potential hidden mould sources. In areas where no elevated moisture readings are encountered they are noted but no further action is reported. In areas where elevated moisture is present and there is no access, further investigation is required and intrusive testing of wall cavities is carried out.

5.1 Visual Assessment & Moisture Content Readings The focus of our visual assessment was to identify and quantify locations within the areas assessed that may be affected by water damage and/or mould growth. Evidence of water damage may include water staining and/or discolouration to building material surfaces and deterioration to building surface components (such as cracking or peeling paint or plaster, delamination of wallpaper, efflorescence to plaster and concrete surfaces, etc.). Degraded building materials (such as soft or crumbling drywall and plaster) also provide an indication of potential chronic water infiltration. Mould growth was visually identified as spotty discolouration to surfaces or as a mass of fuzzy discolouration, depending on the extent of growth. The colour of mould growth will vary depending on the mould species present and the material that it is growing on. It is commonly found to be black, grayish, white, brown or green. Differentiation between mould growth and other staining or discolouration was made based on past experience and/or by confirmation of mould growth on similar surfaces through surface sampling. Special attention was paid to building materials and furnishings that are typically conducive to mould growth due to their cellulose content. This included materials such as drywall, cardboard, lay-in ceiling tiles, carpeting, wallpaper, wood framing, plywood, particleboard, oriented strand board (OSB), etc., if present. Our visual assessment was non-destructive in nature as classrooms were occupied at the time of the assessment. If locations were encountered where there was visual evidence of water damage and/or elevated moisture content readings, then the potential for “hidden” mould growth could exist between building elements, underneath the surface of the affected material or within wall/ceiling cavities, etc. In this case, further investigation would be required and intrusive investigation would follow to open up areas to inspect them. In order to determine the moisture content of building materials present within the areas assessed, moisture content (MC) readings were taken using a Drieaz non-penetrating moisture meter. This unit is able to detect moisture content within wood, drywall and plaster/brick surfaces. Measurements are reported in the range of 0 - 100% as an investigative tool. Values less than 30% are relative readings. From 30 – 70% indicates above normal moisture and greater than 70% indicates saturation of a material and further investigation. Results of MC readings were used in conjunction with our visual assessment results to further define the extent of water damage. Elevated readings indicate recent or chronic water damage. In addition, elevated MC readings indicate the potential for hidden mould growth on the unexposed side of the material being measured. It should be noted that even if normal MC readings are obtained, areas that have been subjected to water damage in the past and have since dried out may have hidden mould growth.
