Findings:
I was contacted by Warden Larry Nixon from Autauga County jail to

test and inspect the building for mold and water issues. Mr. Nixon had
informed me that they were concerned about mold growth throughout
the building and in the HVAC systems. On June 10th, 2024, I met with
the Warden Larry Nixon, Sheriff Mark Harrell, and Attorney Tray
Richards. I was informed by the Warden and the Sheriff that a
decision was made to vacate the building due to health concerns.
All three gentlemen escorted me through the building, so that I could
perform my testing and inspection throughout the structure. Several
air samples and swab samples were taken throughout the structure
and sent to a third-party lab in Pelham, Alabama to be analyzed. We
also took an outside air sample to use as a baseline. When
comparing the inside air to that of the outside air quality, we would
ideally want the air to be equal to/or less than the outside spore count
because we filter our air inside through the use of HVAC systems.
Those findings are attached to this report as well. To be clear, one
must understand that the air sampling taken only represents 5% to
10% of the total inspection of the report that is provided. The EPA is
quite clear when it comes to visible mold growth and the need for air
quality testing. The Environmental Protection Agency states that
when physical mold is present, there is no need for sampling, but it
can be helpful. Nearly 90% to 95% of a mold inspection report is
based on the visible presence of mold, swab samples, air samples,
particle counter readings, moisture meter readings along with thermal
imaging inspection.
Pictures were also taken throughout the structure in various
areas. You can clearly see in the pictures that all of the areas of the
building have been affected in one form or another due to mold
growth. The reason the air samples are not showing a super high
concentration of airborne mold spores is due to one major factor.
Mold spores do not become airborne until they have exhausted all
moisture and their food source. As long as they are still feeding, they
5
do not become airborne. All of the mold in this building is still very
active and the building is still high in moisture content.
When you look at the lab report and see the results of the swab
samples that were taken, you can see the counts are very elevated.
In some areas of the prison, swab samples showed high
concentrations of Stachybotrys mold. This is often referred to as
“black mold”. This mold is extremely toxic and can
cause serious health issues. Stachybotrys is commonly recognized
as the most dangerous of the mold species. Spores from this mold
produce mycotoxins which are poisonous to humans if inhaled, eaten
or touched. Stachybotrys appears black and velvety or slimy and is
found in areas that have been exposed to water or elevated humidity
levels. It grows on materials that are rich in cellulose, such as
sheetrock, insulation, ceiling tiles and wallpaper. Most of the time
when it is found indoors, there have been considerable water
damage, or the mold is growing due to elevated humidity levels in the
area. This is known as secondary damage.
When Stachybotrys mold is found at these levels, it is always
recommended that the building be evacuated until a complete and
proper mold remediation is completed and post tested to ensure the
air quality is at a safe level. The correct measures were taken by
evacuating the building until further evaluation could be completed.
The primary cause for the majority of the mold growth in this building
is due to the HVAC systems not performing properly for several
years. There is evidence that there have been leaks throughout the
building, but those only account for about 22% of the entire mold
issue. The remainder of the 78% of the problem is due to the HVAC
systems not being properly maintained or cleaned over the years.
When these units were installed, the insulation (which is porous) was
placed on the inside of the duct work. If this interior insulation picks
up too much moisture and debris, mold will start growing inside of the
ductwork into the insulation. Over the years, the debris has passed
6
through the ductwork and deposited a lot of this organic material and
embedded it into the insulation. If the moisture level inside the
ductwork gets above 20%, mold will start to grow. When this occurs,
it causes a build up of debris on the coils. This buildup will block
and/or slow the air movement across those coils. This in turn does
not allow the moisture to be collected on the coils and pumped out of
the building. Instead, the moisture circulates back into the interior of
the building, which then raises the moisture content in the building.
This allows mold to grow on any and all surfaces and their content.
As an example of the contents being affected by mold, you will notice
a couple of fire extinguishers in the photos that have heavy mold
growth on them, and they were stored in glass cabinets.
Clearly the building has leaks in the past, but at the time of my
inspection no current leaks were found.
7
Recommendations:
The following protocol must be followed and performed in accordance

with the IICRC water and mold standards using the S500 and S520.
The first step would be to secure the building so no one other than the
restoration company enters the building while the remediation process
is ongoing. The only exception would be those who are authorized by
the restoration company, the Sheriff and/or the Warden. Those that
were authorized would still need to be in full PPE (Personal Protective
Equipment) and be escorted by a member of the remediation company
to ensure containment chambers are not breached. Before any
remediation starts, the building of containment chambers in areas that
are needed would need to happen to ensure mold spores are not
transferred from one area to another.
The next step would be to set up air scrubbers throughout the building
to allow for air filtration and air exchanges while the remediation
process is underway. Due to the ductwork having an interior insulation
that is heavily porous, it is recommended that all ductwork with
insulation located in the interior of the building be removed.
This will be followed by the removal of all porous materials affected by

mold. This would include but not limited to ceiling tiles, sheetrock,
clothing, and any other organic materials. These items would be bagged
and removed in accordance with the IICRC guidelines.
Next would be to treat all areas with a hydrogen peroxide based anti-
microbial product that is applied with a ULV (ultra-low volume) fogger.
This ensures the product reaches every small space and in the corners
of all areas. Where there is heavy mold growth present, a direct
application of the product would be applied. Peroxide is considered a
green environmentally friendly chemical because it breaks down to
oxygen and water. When applied to mold, it causes a boiling reaction
8
that lifts the root stem of the mold. Once the product has been applied,
heat and dehumidification are used to dry the product and bring the
moisture level down in the structure to a safe level. At that point, a
complete HEPA vacuuming, followed by a wet wipe of all areas are
performed to ensure proper mold spore removal.
During this process, it is recommended that a North American Duct
Cleaning Association (NADCA) company, come in and clean the
remaining ductwork as well as the units themselves, to ensure all mold,
dirt and debris has been removed from the units. This would also
include cleaning of all the air vent registers and air vent returns.
Once all of these steps above have been completed, the air scrubbers
must run for 48 hours. After they have ran 48 hours, they would then be
turned off for an additional 24 hours before post testing can be
performed. This allows the air to return to its normal ambient state to
ensure that a false negative air sample will not be collected.
The last step in the process is to have a third-party test the building to
ensure that proper remediation has been performed and it meets the
industry standards for a safe environment. Once this clearance is given,
the rebuild of the structural materials that were removed can then take
place.

MICROBIAL LABORATORY FUNGAL ANALYSIS REPORT:

REPORT USE AND DISCLAIMER:
Please be advised that all fungal (mold) assessments and inspections are required to
have a thorough visual inspection of the structure with fungal (mold) sampling
conducted only to support the Indoor Environmental Quality Professionals (IEQP)
observations. This laboratory report alone doesn’t constitute a fungal (mold)
assessment or inspection as put forth in “Recognition Evaluation, and Control of Indoor
Mold” by the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA), or the ASTM Standard
D7338-14 “Standard Guide for the Assessment of Fungal Growth in Buildings”.
Furthermore, the AIHA states “Prior to collecting any air samples for mold spores, the
indoor environmental quality (IEQ) professional must determine the purpose and
relevance of the sampling as well as ascertain the questions the sampling will answer.
Air sampling should be considered as a screening tool or as ancillary to an informed
inspection. Testing results should confirm observations or otherwise support
conclusions made based on the informed inspection. In the absence of an informed
inspection, air sampling alone cannot support any definitive conclusions. Air sampling
for mold spores does not and cannot evaluate potential health risks.” (AIHA, 2019)
SECTION 1 BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
1.1 General Information:
The following background information is provided to assist the client in evaluating the
analytical results revealed by the mold / fungal analyses. This information is based on
years of sampling and field experience, published references, governmental guidelines
and association standards.
It should be noted that mold / fungal spores are found within the air and on surfaces of
all structures, including homes, schools, health care facilities, industrial and
manufacturing facilities. Fungal organisms are a part of our natural environment.
However, elevated concentrations of water indicator and potentially toxigenic fungal
forms are known to adversely impact the indoor environment.
At this time, there are no federal regulations governing the types or concentrations of
molds / fungi for the indoor environment. A listing of pertinent references is provided
later in this report.
1.2 Common Groupings of Mold / Fungal Forms:
References to “common environmental mold / fungal forms” has come to mean those
fungal organisms routinely found in the outside / ambient air environment and therefore

11
the fungal forms we are exposed to on a daily basis. Examples of such genera or
groupings are Alternaria, Ascospores, Basidiospores, Cladosporium, Curvularia,
Pithomyces, Rusts, Smuts, etc.
References to “water indicator and potentially toxigenic fungal forms” have come to
mean those fungal organisms, which have a high-water requirement and are known to
produce various mycotoxins when subjected to certain environmental stimuli. Examples
of such genera include Aspergillus, Chaetomium, Fusarium, Penicillium and
Stachybotrys. This grouping contains the commonly referred to “toxic black molds”.
1.3 Comparison of Background / Baseline Fungal Analyses:
The following comparisons may be helpful to the Client for understanding the analytical
method of reporting spore concentrations and surface density units. Air concentrations
are reported in total fungal spores per cubic meter of air (spores/m3). A cubic meter is
roughly equivalent to 35 cubic feet or 264 gallons. Tape lifts and surface wipes are
reported in units of total spores per square centimeter (spores/cm2). A square
centimeter is roughly equivalent to the area of one face of a sugar cube. Bulk dust and
building material samples are reported in units of total spores per gram of material
(spores/g). There are 454 grams per pound or 28 grams per ounce.
Typically, baseline / background total airborne concentrations of fungal forms within

residential and commercial facilities of the southeastern United States range between
100 to 1,000 spores per cubic meter of air and are composed of common environmental
fungal forms found in the outdoor / ambient air.
Furthermore, hard surfaces, such as furniture and walls, within these structures typically
reveal a baseline / background range of 1 to 100 fungal spores per square centimeter of
surface area and are composed of common environmental forms. These values will
vary depending on the thoroughness of housekeeping, humidity and moisture loadings
within the structure.
The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienist (ACGIH) provides the

following guidance concerning data interpretation; “Data from individual sampling
episodes is often interpreted with respect to baseline data from other environments or
the same environment under anticipated low exposure conditions”. In common terms,
and with the absence of established acceptable exposure limits, it is often necessary to
use a comparison value as a benchmark or "standard" when interpreting fungal (mold)
data.
Also, ACGIH states that "differences that can be detected with manageable sample
sizes are likely to be in 10-fold multiplicative steps (e.g., 100 versus 1,000)". This
statement infers that if the total fungal spore count is ten (10) times greater in the
sample from the suspect area than in the negative control sample collected from a non-
suspect area (background / baseline), then that sample area may be a fungal

12
amplification site. ACGIH further states that "active fungal growth in indoor
environments is inappropriate and may lead to exposure and adverse health effects."
SECTION 2 METHODOLOGY:
Safety Environmental Laboratories and Consulting, Inc. (SELC) provides direct

microscopic analyses for fungal organisms on spore traps (air samples), surface wipes
(sterile swabs), tape lifts, bulk dusts and bulk building materials.
Microscopic quantitative analyses are conducted at 400X to 600X magnification.

Identification of fungal organisms may be further enhanced by the use of stains and oil
immersion techniques at 1,000X magnification.
The results are reported as total fungal spores, meaning they include both viable and
non-viable fungal spores. Direct microscopic techniques do not allow for the
differentiation of Aspergillus and Penicillium spores. Therefore, such spores are
reported as Aspergillus / Penicillium –like.
Also, depending on the spores morphology (shape, size, structure), other non-distinctive
spores will be reported in groups or categories such as Ascospores, Basidiospores, or
colorless / brown spore groups.
2.1 Air Samples – Spore Trap Analyses:
All analysis of spore trap media is conducted in accordance to ASTM published method
D7391-20.
Typically, during the analysis of the sample thirty-three percent (33%) of the trace
(collection area) of the spore trap (air sample) is analyzed. If the sample is heavily
loaded with fungal material, the analyst may elect to analyze a lesser percentage of the
trace and extrapolate the result for the entire sample. Fungal forms with greater than
500 spores per sample (an elevated fungal count) are difficult to analyze. Therefore, a
sample with a significantly elevated fungal concentration may be an approximation.
The analytical sensitivity is the spores/m^3 divided by the raw count, expressed in
spores/m^3. The limit of detection is the analytical sensitivity (in spores/m^3) multiplied
by the sample volume (in liters) divided by 1000 liters.
Excessive non-fungal particulate matter can obscure the presence of fungal spores.
Such sample conditions can reduce the analytical accuracy. All samples are evaluated
by the following debris scale for data qualification.
Air Sample Debris Rating Scale
Debris Description Interpretation

Rating
0 No particulate The absence of particulate matter on the slide could indicate
detected improper sampling or a blank sample. Analyst should note
accordingly.

5 >90% of slide Quantitative analysis is not possible. Sample trace is

occluded with non- overloaded and cannot be reliably quantitatively analyzed due
fungal debris. to excessive particulate matter. A new sample should be
collected at shorter time interval, or other measures taken to
reduce the particle load. Identification and an estimation of
concentration may be provided at the Laboratory’s discretion.
The laboratory shall report presence only.
2.2 Surface Wipe Samples – Sterile Swabs:
Fungal spores and hyphae are extracted from the swab by mechanical action. The fungal
components are placed on a slide, stained, identified and counted. The results are
reported as spores per sample or spores per square centimeter, based upon the client
supplied sample area.
If the sample is heavily loaded with fungal material, the analyst may elect to analyze a
lesser percentage of the sample preparation and extrapolate the result for the entire
sample. Therefore, a sample with a significantly elevated fungal count may be an
approximation.
The limit of detection is 1 spore per area analyzed.
The analytical sensitivity is (1 spore/Total number of fields observed)* (Total Sample Area
(cm2)/Field Area of the microscope objective (cm2))* 1/unit volume)*Dilution Factor.
2.3 Surface Samples – Tape Lifts:
All analysis of tape lift media is conducted in accordance to ASTM published method D
7658-17R21.
Fungal spores and hyphae are collected on the adhesive side of clear tape. The sample is
placed on a slide, identified and counted. The results are reported as spores per square
centimeter. If the sample is heavily loaded with fungal material, the analyst may elect to
analyze a lesser percentage of the sample preparation and extrapolate the result for the

14
entire sample. Therefore, a sample with a significantly elevated fungal count may be an
approximation.
2.4 Bulk Samples – Dusts and Building Materials:
The bulk sample is weighed and fungal components are extracted or lifted from the
material. The fungal components are placed on a slide, stained, identified and counted.
The results are reported as spores per sample or spores per gram of material. If the
sample is heavily loaded with fungal material, the analyst may elect to analyze a lesser
percentage of the sample preparation and extrapolate the result for the entire sample.
Therefore, a sample with a significantly elevated fungal count may be an approximation.
