Irerracon 8901 Carpenter Freeway, Suite 100 Dallas, Texas 75247 214-630-1010 PHASE I SCOPE OF VUORK FUNGAL-BIQLOGICAL HAZARD REMEDIATION Project: Grand Theater Phase I 21 Lamar Avenue Paris, Texas 75460 Terracon Project No. 94107645 PROJECT SUMMARY: Terracon documented water damage, fungal growth, and biological contamination associated with pigeon infestation in the Grand Theater first floor lobby and the second floor space directly above the lobby (Phase I). Based on the evidence of chronic moisture intrusion, visible water damage, and visible fungal growth Terracon documented regulated fungal contamination on the wood ceiling deck in the first floor lobby. Additionally, non- regulated fungal growth is present on water damaged ceiling tiles and ceiling tile debris in the first floor lobby. Biological-hazard contamination related to historical pigeon infestation is present as pigeon feces, and pigeon carcasses on the second floor above the lobby and within an interstitial building space located at the north end of the second floor above the lobby. The quantity and location of water damage/wood rot, fungal growth, and pigeon debris in the referenced locations is further described in Section 10.0, and the site diagrams in Appendix A. The remedial activities will be conducted in general accordance with the Texas Department of State Health Services (TDSHS) regulations contained in "The Texas Mold Assessment and Remediation Rules", (TMARR). In general, the remediation of non-regulated fungal growth will consist of the removal and disposal of drop ceiling tiles, applied ceiling tiles and ceiling tile debris in the first floor lobby. Regulated fungal growth on the water damaged wood ceiling deck will be removed by hand cleaning the wood substrate or by carbon dioxide-blasting of the wood substrate, and the ceiling deck encapsulated. The TDSHS has granted a project specific exemption related to "wood rot" associated with the wood ceiling deck and common second floor (Figure F-1, Appendix A) since the wood ceiling deck/second floor will eventually be removed, inclusive of the visible wood rot. The general debris and the pigeon debris that comprise the defined biological-hazard on the second floor will be removed and disposed as construction debris. After the general debris has been removed from the second floor visible fungal growth on the wood floor substrate will be hand cleaned or cleaned by carbon dioxide-blasting, and the floor encapsulated. The remediation work will be conducted within containment(s) under negative pressure with HEPA filtered exhaust. The remedial work conducted on thE first floor will require the use, afi a minimum, E3~-~~~.?ti.i~t"~l:~ ~ u .e;.;}Ig E-."tl,-■ e;!~~!:+.~5i~"= lVlAC~~; 0107/I'I-10-12
