To Whom It May Concern:
On May 22, 2006, EHS-International, Inc. (EHSI) issued a Post-Remediation Assessment Report
letter to Mr. Brian JoK the homeowner of the private residence located at 24306-9& Avenue West,
Edmonds, Washington. In the letter EHSI recommended that "ffie homeowner continue with the
replacement of window fiwm and replacement of materials with water damage."
On June 2, 2006, EHSI was ir&rmed by Mr. Joki that the following sentence in the 'Discussions"
section of the letter, "[I]n Washington State it is necessary to have a structural pest inspector (SPI)
license to report the presence of dry rot. The presence of dry rot fungus, while not a health issue may
impair wood products to a point where safety issues become important" has been interpreted by the
City of Edmonds to mean that EHSI recommends that a pest inspection be performed at the residence.
EHSI is not requiring or recommending that such an inspection be conducted. EHSI does reconmmd
that water -damaged wood products, as well as mold -affected windows and window fivnes, be
removed and replaced as the next step in the renovation project.
EHSI is pleased to provide these professional industrial hygiene services. If you have any questions
concerning this report or if EHSI can provide ftirther services to you, please call me at (425) 455-
2959.

Subject: Post -Mold Aneunwat
Raldence at U306 - 9e Ave. W, FAnonds, WA
ERS] Project 9113-01
Dear Brian:
On May 6*, 2006, at the request of Mr. Brian iok� a rept entative from EHS-Intcrnatiowd� Inc.
(EHSI) conducted a post -mold reniediation assessment in the private residence located at 24306
— 906 Avenue Wed, Edmonds, Wasbington. IU post -mold remediation assessment included: a
visual inspeiction of the resklence; measuring the moisture oontew of previously affected
building materials; and, the collection of several surfim samples fDr a determination of settled
fungal conoentrations at the time of the assessment. Based on the results 1rom this assessment,
EHSI recomnvmds that the homeowner proceed with the elimination of source(s) of water
intrusion and the replacment of window fiames and building materials with significant water
damage. The results of the assessment are discussed below.
Backgr-ound
On November 22, 2005, EHSI pe&rmed an initial mold and moisture assessment in the subject
residence. At the time of the mold and moist= assessment the home had a very musty odor and
visible mold growtb was observed on many surfaces. Additionally, the residence had a number
of areas with visibly water -damaged materials. It was noted at that time that upkeep of the
residence bad been neglected and gutta, downspouts, flashing and other water control devises
and features were abserd or less than effective, Based on the results of the mold and moisture
assessment, EHSI reconmunded that actions be taken to remove/clean viWe mold from the
residence as well as eliminate source(s) of moisture.
The initial mold and moisture assessment suggested that most of the water intrusion was
occurring through roof or envelope leaks. Wet indoor materials coupled with a lack of
ten4xwatmv controls created a very high interior relative humidity that likely led too much of the
observed mold growth.

Reported Information
A&. Joki reported that the City of Edmonds has restricted fiuther actions at the residence, such as
retnoval of windows and window flames as well as the removal and replacement of deteriorated
wood products, until he can provide assurances that mold remediation has been conducted and is
complete.
Mr. Jold further reported that be intends to replace the roof and north wall of the residence. In
addition, he reported that be intends to replace all windows and window ftmes as well as the
floor in the first floor bathroom.
Post-Remefflation Anemumat
The post -mold rernediation assessnumt was conducted after materials with identified mold
growth were reportedly removed and all areas cleaned using a vacuum equipped with a high
efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter. Typically, post-remediation assessments are conducted
after removal of rnold-affected materials, drying of all remaining building materials and
elimination of sourco(s) of water intrusion.
VbUal Inspection
At the time of this assessment, all interior walls within the residence had bean removed (Photos I
and 2). Moreover, the first floor ceding was removed providing a clear line of site of the roof
decking (Photo 3).
While onsite, EHS1 noted that the mDld-affected mmaesials observed during the November 2005
assessment had been removed with the exception of window fi== in the Living Room and
both bedrooms (Photo 4). The window fivnes have some spotty brown mold growth on painted
surfitces. A door in the northwest bedroom also had some brown spotty mold growth on painted
Surfitces.
mobtare measn"nants
The moist= content of building materials was determined using non-peneftating and
penetrating Dr-EaAD moist= meters. Typically, dinumional lumber has a =is= contest of
approximately 16 to 18%. On the day of the assessment, elevated moist= contents of up to
25% were identified in the roof deddng along the north Wall of the residenm Elevated moisture
content was measured on the underside of the roof docking to a distance of Ebur-fed fiom the
upM north wall (Photo 5)L Roof decking, siding and the window fime in the southwest comer
of the residence, Front ltoom6 also had el"ed moisture contents at the time of the assessment,
wM moWure contents up to 2W* (Photo 6).

Fungs Samp&g and Labwatory An*ds
Three surfiWe tape fit samples were collected by pressing transparent adhesive tape onto
hor=nW flat surfilm then. viqg the tape and placing it into a pro -labeled, re -sealable bag.
Samples were collected fioni the Living Room fireplace mantle., the light switch at the top of the
stairs near the kitchen and fiom the windowsill on the east wall of the basement.
All samples were submitted to Lab/Cor Laboratories of Sadft WA. Lab/Cot is staffed by
certified microbiologists and participates in the American Industrial Hygiene Associabon's
Environmental Microbiology Proficiency Testing (AIHA EMPAT #101858). The samples were
transfmW to Lab/Cor Laboratories under chain -of -custody control.
The laboratory analyzed the tape lift samples by gaining than in lactophenol cotton blue and
observing characteristic morphologies at serveral nugrufications. 11w laboratory report is
presented in Appendix A.
In all cases the laboratory reported the presence of a few scattered spores of several mold types
inchding AspergilhsslPenkffliwn-like moK Uwtomlum sp., Cladosporium sp., Ganoderma sp.
and Scopuhviqps& sp.
Diwassion
The initial mold and moisture assessment conducted by EHS1 was intended to determine the
types and quantities of filamentous molds that may impact the health of son-w individuals.
Filamentous roolds are one of many types of fiingus. Assessments fDr filamentous rnold do riot
also include an assessment for the fimpl types responsible fDr "dry rot". While both "dry rot"
and fiWneutous molds are finigi, in Washington State it is necessary to have a Strudural Pest
Inspector (SPI) license to report the presence of "dry rot". The presence of "dry rot" fungus,
wbile not a health ism, may impair wood products to a point whom safety issues become
important.
During the post-remiediation assessmart, the visual inspection Ebr fiWnentous. mold indicated
that all mold -affected materials, with the exception of some window fiwnes and a door, have
been removed from the reside=.
The moisture meter assessment indicated that water mtrusion has not been totally elimin ed and
not all building materials have been dried to a point where they do not have the potential to allow
mDkl growth. It should be noted that the north side of the roof has a significant growth of moss
(Photo 7) and it is believed that wood along the north end of the roof may have suffered water
damage. EHS1 behaves that the next step is to remove materials with water damage. The
removal of materials wM water damage will also remve the materials with elevated moisture
content at the time of the post-remediation assessinent.

Dear Jeannine:
At your request, on November 22, 2005, EHS-International, Inc. (EHSI) conducted an assessment for
the presence of mold and moisture in a private residence located at 24306_90 h Avenue West, .
Edmonds, , Washington. The purpose of the project was to conduct a physical assessment of water
damaged/mold contaminated building materials; to -sample materials for mold and to provide
recommendations regarding the removal and decontamination of building materials. A draft copy of
this report was provided on November 30, 2005.
Enclosed is the final report, which includes laboratory results, photographic log and recommendations
for further action. If requested, EHSI will provide a protocol for the cleaning and decontamination of
building materials.

MOLD & MOISTURE SURVEY REPORT
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On November 22, 2005, EHS-International, Inc. (EHSI) conducted a mold and moisture survey at the
residence. located at 23406 — glyh Avenue West, Edmonds, Washington. The survey was conducted at
the request of Ms Jeannine Grat a Building Official with the City of Edmonds Building Department.
EHSI was retained to identify and to document the extent of water damage and visible mold growth,
collect surface tape lift samples of suspected mold growth, and to provide recommendations for
further actions.
While onsite EHSI noted a strong musty odor and observed a considerable amount of visible mold on
most, if not A first floor walls and ceilings. Upkeep on the residence has been neglected and gutters,
downspouts, flashing and other water control devises are absent or less than effective. Despite the
presence of mold on most interior first floor surfaces, only a few building materials in the home had
elevated moisture contents at the time of the assessment. Some of the water intrusion causing the
elevated moisture content of interior materials likely came through roof or building envelop leaks. The
high interior relative humidity is likely the moisture 'source for much of the mold in the residence.
Laboratory results from tape H surface samples collected from selected areas of fungal growth
indicate that a number of mold types including Aspergillus sp., Penicillium sp., Cladosporium sp. are
growing in the residence. Sampling was limited and it is likely that other mold types also exist within
the residence.
EHSI recommends that action be taken to remove/c'lean visible mold from materials as well as
eliminate source(s) of moisture that may provide an environment for fungal growth. Mold abatement
activities should include eliminating the source(s) of moisture otherwise re -growth of mold will occur.
At the conclusion of all other mold remediation activities, EHSI recommends that the residence be
thoroughly cleaned throughout to significantly reduce the amount of settled, but not growing, fungal
spores and particulates. EHSI recommends that abatement work be conducted workers with
appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and training regarding working with mold.

November 30, 2005
BACKGROUND
EHSI was told that in 2001 the resident of the subject property moved out of the home and the home
not been occupied since. It was reported that the heat, electricity and water have been turned off since
the residence was vacated. It was additionally reported that the owner/resident was a "hoarder" who
accumulated and stored items causing potentially unsaf� living conditions.
On November 22, 2005, EHSI met with several representatives from the City of Edmonds Building
Department as well as Mr. Michael Kealy, a real estate professional, who provided access to the
residence and information regarding the history of the project.
It was reported that the final contents of the home were removed and the residence is scheduled to be
sold to a contractor who will perform renovations to the residence prior to re -sale.
SITE DESCRIPTION
The approximately 1,000 square foot residence, built in the first half of the 20"' century is wood -
framed with a composite shingle roof and a half -daylight basement with cinderblock masonry units. A
furnace unit located in the basement can provide warm air to first floor rooms via ducting through
previously existing air grills located on lower walls and the floor. At the time of the assessment, the
bathroom had all its fixtures but the kitchen bad nothing but bare plumbing at the time of this
assessment.
The first floor of the residence includes a living room with fireplace, a front room, a kitchen, a
bathroom and two bedrooms. The basement is currently one large area with only the furnace and a
water heater that is suspected of leaking.
There is evidence that a carpet was once present in several rooms including the living roorn, front
room and hallway. Hardwood floors were exposed in these areas at the time of the assessment.
Various types of sheet and tile vinyl were present in'the.kitchen, bathroom and both bedrooms.
Walls are typically lath and plaster construction. While not present throughout, several walls appear
to have wallpaper. Most surfaces have been painted.

APPROACH
On November 22, 2005, EHSI conducted the moisture and mold survey of the residence. The survey
included a visual inspection of interior exposed surfaces for evidence of water damage and/or mold
growth. Moisture measurements were taken in selected locations using a Dri-Eae Moisture Pro
penetrating moisture meter as well as a Dri-Eae Moisture Pro non -penetrating moisture meter. In
addition, tape lift surface samples for laboratory analysis were collected in areas with suspected fungal
growth.
Four (4) tape lift surface samples were collected during the survey. The tape lift samples were
collected from suspected mold growth and submitted to an accredited laboratory for identification.
SAMPLING METHODOLOGY
Fungi
Tape lift samples were collected in suspected mold -affected areas. Transparent tape was pressed onto
then lifted off the suspected areas and placed into a pre -labeled re -sealable plastic bag for transport to
the laboratory and analysis for non -viable fimgi.
Tape lift samples were submitted to Lab/Cor Laboratories of Seattle, WA. Lab/Cor is staffed by
certified microbiologists and participates in the 'American Industrial Hygiene Association's
Environmental Microbiology Proficiency Testing (AIHA EMPAT #101858). Samples were
transferred under chain -of -custody control.
SURVEY AND LABORATORY RESULTS
Visual Inspection
A strong musty odor and visible mold growth was present in all.the rooms on the first floor of the
residence. While the following is a brief description of the residence by room it should be emphasized
that mold growth may be present on surfaces not otherwise noted. Mold growth appeared to be
ubiquitous and ranged in color from black to green to orange to white.
In addition to the molds observed there was a considerable amount of grime, spider webs, soot and
other stains on surfaces in the residence.

Kitchen —
There was spotty suspected mold growth throughout the room. A passive vent to the exterior
was clogged and plywood sub -floor was warped where exposed (Photos # 12-13).
Basement -
Attic —
The basement, on a concrete slab, had a less strong odor than the first floor. The pallet and
floor beneath the water heater had a puddle of water (Photo #14). Batt insulation was
between exposed studs along the north wall. In some cases the insulation was in poor
condition, plants were growing into the area (Photo #15), and there was evidence of wood.
decay at the base of the wall in many locations (Photo #16).
Moreover, the underside of the floor decking beneath the bathroom was stained and a thick
white growth was observed on floor decking, joists and a nearby door frame. Similar white
growth was observed in several other areas of the basement as well (Photo #17).
The attic is accessible through a ceiling opening near the stair to the basement. The attic has a
white fluffy insulation on top of pink insulation. The roof deck was continuous wooden slats.
Although roof leaks are likely there were none obvious at the time of the assessment (Photos
#18-19).
Ext�rior —
A walk-through of the residence's exterior re -affirmed the dilapidated condition of the
property. Of note was a downspout hanging but unattached to the northwest comer of the
house, mildew growth on exterior siding and an accumulation of organic material in gutters
(Photos 20-22).
Relative Humidity
At 3:30 pin on the day of the assessment the outdoor and indoor temperature was 43* F and the
outdoor and indoor relative. humidity was 77%.

Moisture Measurements
Moisture measurements of building materials were taken in areas suspected of having elevated
moisture levels. Measurements exceeding 15% are considered significantly moist and capable of
supporting mold growth. Despite the widespread mold growth, most building materials in the
residence had a moisture content of less than 15%. Locations in the subject residence with moisture
measurements approaching or exceeding 15% include:
1) The ceiling in the southwest comer (-6 ft2) of the living room had a moisture content of 14%; .
2) A ceiling area with a faint brown water stain (— 1 ft2 ) on the east side of the living room;
3) The area of ceiling with delamination in the front room had a moisture content of 15%;
4) All exposed hardwood floor on the first floor. had a moisture content of greater than 15%;
and,
5) All exposed wood components in the basement had a moisture content greater than 15%.
These exposed wood components included: studs, siding, joists, floor decking, stairs and
support columns.
Mold
A portion of each tape lift was mounted on a slide and stained with lactophenol cotton blue.
Characteristic morphologies were observed at a magnification of approximately 400x.
The tape lift sample collected from the green growth on' the ceiling in the living room (9044-010 1) was
100% covered by a mixture of Aspergillus sp. and Penicillium sp. molds and 40% covered with
Cladosporium sp. mold.
The tape lift sample collected from an area with thick white growth on the basement doo'rframe (9044-
0102) was identified as being 100% covered with an unidentified hyaline hyphomycete. In addition, a
few loose spores of AspergilluslPenicillium-like sporesvere identified.
The tape lift sample collected from the ceiling of Bedroom 1 (9044-0103) was 100% covered with
Cladosporium sp., Penicillium sp., Ulocladium chartarum, and an unidentified Chrysosporium-like
sp. The sample also had a few loose spores of Scopulariopsis sp. mold.
The tape lift sample collected from spotty yellow -growth on the Living Room wall (9044-0104) was
identified as being 100% covered by both Aspergillus sp. and Cladosporium sp. molds.

DISCUSSION/CONCLUSIONS
The results of this assessment indicate that there is a considerable amount of mold growth in the
subject residence. Mold growth was observed on most first floor surfaces. While there were several
areas that had visual evidence of building material damage due to water intrusion, only a few of those
areas had building materials with an elevated moisture content at the time of the assessment.
The ubiquitous nature of the mold growth coupled with high interior relative humidity levels and the
lack of elevated moisture content in building materials suggests that much of the mold growth is due
to the high interior relative humidity.
The laboratory identified a number of mold types including Aspergillus sp., Penicillium sp., and
Cladospofium sp. as the predominant mold types on the samples collected. A brief discussion of
identified mold types are provided below based on information available from Aerotech Laboratories'
website fungal glossary (http://www.aerotechlabs.com).
Aspergillus is a common type I & III allergen. They are' frequently isolated from forest products, soils,
grains, nuts, cotton, organic debris, and water damaged building materials. Spores can also be found in
moist ventilation systems and house dust. There are more than 160 different species of Aspergillus,
sixteen of which have been documented as etiological agents of human disease but rarely occur in
individuals with normally functioning immune systems. However, due to the substantial increase in
populations of individuals with HIV, chemotherapy patients and those on corticosteroid treatment,
contamination of building substrates with fungi� partictilarly Aspergillus is of concern. Aspergillosis is
now the second most common fungal infection requiring hospitalization in the United States. Many
Aspergillus species produce mycotoxins that may be associated with diseases in humans and other
animals. Toxin production is dependent on the species or strain within the species and on the food
source for the fungus.'
AsPergillus and Penicillium spores are indistinguishable via direct microscopic examination.
Aspergillus tends to colonize continuously damp materials such as damp wallboard and fabrics.
Penicillium is commonly found in house dust, on water -damaged wallpaper, behind paint and in
decaying fabrics. 1
Cladosporium is widely distributed in air and rotten organic material. C herbarum is the most
frequently found species in outdoor air in temperate climates. It is often found indoors, usually in
lesser numbers than outdoors. The dry conidia become easily airborne and are transported over long
distances. This fungus is often encountered in dirty refrigerators, especially in reservoirs where
condensation is collected. It can easily be seen on moist window frames covering the whole painted
area with a velvety olive-green layer. Cladospofium often discolors interior paint, paper, or textiles
stored under humid conditions. Houses with poor ventilation, houses with thatched straw roofs and
houses situated in damp environments may have heavy concentrations of Cladosporium, which win be
easily expressed when domestic mold is analyzed. It is commonly found on the surface of fiberglass
duct liner in the interior of supply ducts. It is also found naturally on dead & woody plants, food,

straw, soils, paint, and textiles. The ability to sporulate heavily, ease of dispersal, and buoyant spores
makes this fungus the most important fungal airway allergen; and together with Alternaria, it
commonly causes asthma and hay fever in the Western hemisphere. '
A large number of organisms belong to this genus [Penicillium], and identification to species is
difficult. Often found in aerosol samples, it is comnion in soil, food, cellulose, paint, grains, and
compost piles. In the indoor environment it is in carpet, wallpaper, and in interior fiberglass duct
insulation. Although this fungus causes fewer allergies than other molds, Penicillium. is reported to be a
type I & III allergen. It may cause hypersensitivity pneumonitis and allergic alveolitis in susceptible
individuals. I
Ulocladium is reported to be a major type I allergen. 'This saprobe (weak parasite) is widespread and
commonly found on plant materials, soils, dung, grass, compost, and textiles. Some species are
cellulolytic and can grow on water -damaged building materials. Ulocladium is also found in dust and
air samples; and indoors on carpets and painted surfaces. 1
Scopulariopsis is ubiquitous and can be found on soil, plant material, feathers, insects, dung, house
dust and on a wide variety of materials including old carpets and water -damaged wallpaper. The
species S. fimicola is known as the white plaster mold of mushroom beds while other species may
attack bee larvae and silkworms. Scopulariopsis is a type III allergen, and may cause a variety of
infections in humans.
Chrysosporium is a saprobe of about 22 species and is commonly found in soil, dung, plant debris,
sand, bird nests and seeds. This genus is ceRulolytic,,thermotolerant, and is a rare cause of human
infections. Some health effects include onychomycosis, skin lesions, and endocarditis. Some species
are also able to decompose hair, hoofs, and leather. It has type I & III allergens and can produce
sterigmatocystin, a mycotoxin shown to cause liver and kidney damage in laboratory animals. '
RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the findings of this assessment, EHSI has the following recommendations to eliminate fungal
growth in the residence.
o Provide heat to raise the interior temperature, lower the interior relative humidity and reduce
the moisture content of building materials.
o Remove mold growth by removal of building materials on which the mold is growing or by a
thorough washing (using a detergent and water solution) of mold -affected surfaces.
o Locate and repair the source(s) of the water leaks. The location(s) of some of the areas with
elevated moisture content suggest that roof leaks and/or a dilapidated gutter system are
ible f
responsi or at least some of the moisture intrusion.

EMS INTERNATIONAL, INC.
23406-90'h Avenue W, Edmonds, WA
PROJECT #9044-01
November 30, 2005
o Remove all water -damaged wallpaper and/or skim coats and if visible mold exists remove or
clean the underlying substrate.
o. Remove mold growth from semi -porous materials such as exposed wood in the basement by
washing thoroughly using a wire brush and a detergent and water solution.
• Remove and replace all siding and other wood that appears to be deteriorating. Remove and
replace at least 2-feet beyond the area(s) that is visually impacted.
• Remove and replace attic insulation.
The condition of the residence at the time of the assessment prompts EHSI to make these additional
recommendations:
o The residence's air handling system, including the furnace, ducts and grills should be cleaned
and properly maintained prior to use.
o EHSI observed several materials that are likely asbestos -containing, including 9-inch vinyl tile
squares in Bedroom 2. Appropriate asbestos remediation measures should be exercised.
o Finally, once the water intrusion is tern-iinated and visibly mold/water-affected materials are
removed or cleaned there will continue to be countless millions of microscopic fungal spores
and fragments on surfaces. EHS1 recommends that these spores and fragments be removed by
detailed cleaning. This cleaning will include vacuuming using a vacuum with a high efficiency
particulate arrestance (HEPA) filter followed by wiping the surface with a moist rag.
If requested and authorized, EHSI will prepare a protocol for the cleaning and decontamination of the
subject residence. The protocol would provide information regarding PPE, work practices and
recommendations for post-remediation clearance testing.
LIMITATIONS AND STANDARD OF CARE
This mold and moisture assessment was conducted by EHSI in accordance with the Scope of Work
defined by EHSI proposal 05-191 signed on November 21, 2005. It is understood that this assessment
was limited to visible surfaces, and that extensive destiuctive testing to examine all hidden areas was
not part of our scope. During the course of mold'abatement or other construction work, additional
water damaged and/or mold contaminated materials may be found.
EHSI followed currently accepted industrial hygiene practices, including professional opinions based
on observations and laboratory data obtained. The recommendations are derived in part from the New
York City Department of Health "Guidelines on Assessment and Remediation of Fungi in Indoor

Dear Brian.
On May 6*, 2006, at the request of Mr. Brian ioki� a representative fiom, EHS-Internatiowil, Inc.
(EHSI) conducted a pDst-moid remediation assessmew in the private residence located at 24306
— 9& Avenue West, Edmonds, Wahington. TU post-mDld remediation assessment included: a
visual inspection of the resklence; measuring the moisture content of previously affected
building materials; and, the collection of several mrfacie samples fDr a determination of settled
fiingal concentrations at the time of the assessment. Based on the results from this assessment,
EHS1 r000mmends that the homeowner proceed with the elinunation of sDurce(s) 'of water
mtrusion and the replacement of window firames and building materials with significant water
damage. The results of the assessment are diw� below.
Backrumd
On November 22, 2005, EHSI pe&rmad an initial mold and moisture assessment in the subject
residence. At the time of the mold and moisture assessment the home had a very musty odor and
visible mold growth was observed on many surfitces. Additionally, the residence had a number
of areas with visibly water -damaged materials. It was noted at that time that upkeep of the
residence had bow neglected and gutter, downspouts, flashing and other water control devises
and features were absent or lass then effective. Based on the results of the mold and nioisture
assessnient EHS1 reconimended that actions be taken to remove/clean visible mold from the
residence as well as eliminate source(s) of mDW=.
The initial mold and moisture assessment suggested that most of the water inftusion was
occurring through roof or envelope leaks. Wet indoor materials coupled with a bwk of
temperature controls created a very high mtemr relative humidity that likely led too much of the
observed mold growth.

Post-RanWb,doik Ammmment
The post -mid remedialiDn assessment was conducted after materials, with identified mold
growth were reportedly removed and all area cleaned using a vacuum equippeid with a high
efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter. Typically, post-remediation assessments are conducted
after removal of tnold-affected materials, drying of all remaining building materials and
elimination of source(s) of water intrusion.
Visual Inspecdon
At the time of this assessment, all interior walls within the residence had been remved (Photos I
and 2). Moreover, the fM floor ceiling was removed providing a clew line of site of the roof
docking (Photo 3).
While onstte, EHSI noted that the mDid-affected materials observed during the November 2005
assessment had been rernoved with the exception of window fimes in the Living Room and
both bedrooms (Photo 4). The window fimies have some spotty brown rnold growth on painted
surflices. A door in the northwest bedroom also had some brown spotty mid growth on painted
surfaces.
mobtury meam"Mmts
The misture content of building materials was determined using non -penetrating and
penetrating Dr-Eaz* moisture meters. Typically, dimensional lumber has a misture co I of
approximately 16 to 18%. On the day of the assessment, elevated misture contents of up to
25% were identified in the roofdocking along the north wall of the residence. Elevated moisture
content was measuid on the underside of the roof docking to a distance of fbur-feet from the
upper north wall (Pboto 5� Roof decking, siding and the window fiame in the southwest comer
of the residence, Front Room, also had elevated moisture contents at the time of the assessment,
with moisture contents up to 22% (Photo 6).

Three surfitce tape lift samples were collected by pressing transparent adhesive tape onto
hDrMDnW iftat surfim then r ving the tape and placing it into a pre -labeled, msewable bag.
Samples were collected fioni the Living Room fireplam nv&* the U& switch at the top of the
stairs near the kitchen and from the windowsill on the east wall ofthe basement.
All samples were submitted to Lab/Cor Laboratories of SeaftK WA. Lab/Cor is staffed by
car 'fi ' microbiologists and participates in the American Industrial Hygiene Association's
Envronmental.Microbiology Proficiency Testing (AlHA EMPAT #101858). The samples wery
, num 6 to Lab/Cor Laboratories under chm-of-custody control.
1U laboratory analyzed the tqx lift samples by staining them in lactophenol cotton blue and
observing characteristic morphologies at several magnifications. The laboratory report is
----1
InvuOULCU in Appendix A.
In all cases the laboratory reported the presence of a few scattered spores of several mold types
including AspergilluslPenkUftwn-like mold, Chaetomium sp., Cladospopium sp., Ganodermasp.
ad -%qpukrfqpds sp.
The initial motd and moisture assessment conducted by EHS1 was intended to deterrriine the
types and quantities of filamentous molds that may impact the health of some individuals.
Filamentous molds are one of many types of fimgus. Assessments for filamentous mold do not
also inclu& an assessment for the fiu*d types responsible for "dry rat". While both "dry rot"
and filamentous mAls are fimgi, in Washington St&e it is necessary to have a Structural Pest
Inspector (SPI) licenu to report the presence of "dry rot". The presence of "dry rot" &%us,
while not a health imm, may impair wood products to a point whom safety issues become
important.
During the post-remadiation assessment, the visual inspection for filamentous mold indicated
that all mold -affected materials, with the exception of some window fimm and a door, have
been removed fiurn the residence.
11w moisture meter assessment indicaW that water intrusion has not bow totally eliminated and
not all building materials have been dried to a point where they do not have the potential to allow
mold growth. It should be noted dud the north side of the roof has a significant growth of moss
(Photo 7) and it is believed that wood along the north end of the roof may have suftered water
datnage. EHSI believes that the noxt step is to remove materials with water damage. The
removal of materuds with water damage will aLgo remove the materials with elevated moisture
UOU"i i at the time of the post-remediation assessment.

To Whom It May Concern:
111CROFQ4 k__
On May 22, 2006, EHS-International, Inc. (EHSI) issued a Post-Remediation Assessment Report
letter to Mr. Brian Joki, the homeowner of the private residence located at 24306-90th Avenue West,
Edmonds, Washington. In the letter EHSI recommended that "the homeowner continue with the
replacement of window frames and replacement of materials with water damage."
On June 2, 2006, EHSI was informed by Mr. Joki that the following sentence in the "Discussions"
section of the letter, "[I]n Washington State it is necessary to have a structural pest inspector (SPI)
license to report the presence of dry rot. The presence of dry rot fungus, while not a health issue may
impair wood products to a point where safety issues become important" has been interpreted by the
City of Edmonds to mean that EHSI recommends that a pest inspection be performed at the residence.
EHSI is not requiring or recommending that such an inspection be conducted. EHSI does recommend
that water -damaged wood products, as well as mold -affected windows and window frames, be
removed and replaced as the next step in the renovation project.
EHSI is pleased to provide these professional industrial hygiene services. If you have any questions
concerning this report or if EHSI can provide further services to you, please call me at (425) 455-
2959.
