White Tab 003 ▸ Entry — WT‑108 Discovery Packet — ALC Post‑Remediation Verification Collection¶
GUARDRAIL: WHITE — FACT REPOSITORY ONLY
Facts & source pinpoints only. No strategy, no argument, no legal opinions. All quotations are "as reported" unless exact text appears in a cited source.
A. Source Tab Summary¶
Related Source Tab: WT‑108 — ALC Post‑Remediation Verification (PRV) Report (Aug 3, 2021) — 29 pp; inspection July 28, 2021; reported ALC on‑site monitoring July 20–27, 2021 (business hours). Signatories: Candice A. Kowalewski, MPH and Jack Glass, MS, CIH. PRV states the apartment "has achieved clearance," with 7 indoor + 1 outdoor air samples, visual/IR/moisture checks, and Appendix B "Work Scope Plan (Dec 8, 2020)" described as "agreed" with Ed Olmsted, CIH and "filed with the courts."
Why it matters (facts‑only framing): This is the clearance certification relied upon after the July 2021 work. Subsequent sources (WT‑109/Aug 2022; WT‑110/Nov 2022; WT‑111/July 2023) document contamination and additional scope needs after certification. Authenticating the PRV inputs (monitoring logs, air‑sample lab packets, license status, SOPs, photos, and distribution) is required to evaluate the PRV's factual underpinnings.
Noted gaps to collect: ALC daily monitoring records; air‑sample lab chain‑of‑custody & raw data; license and credential verifications; native Work Scope source and the referenced court filing; full photo set with EXIF; July 28 field forms; distribution logs; ServPro execution docs; December 8, 2020 meeting records.
B. Priority Classification¶
| Priority | Count | Timeline | Categories |
|---|---|---|---|
| P1 — Critical | 7 | 30 days | Monitoring docs, lab packets, licenses, native scope, field docs, photo metadata, distribution |
| P2 — High | 8 | 60 days | ServPro records, credentials, court filing, Dec 8 meeting, standards, engagement, SOP/QA, post‑PRV corr. |
| P3 — Medium | 5 | 90 days | Comparative PRV benchmarks, RH guidance, ALC methodology set, lab accreditations, prior work history |
| TOTAL | 20 | 90 days | Full PRV authentication & comparators |
