Remediation Alternatives were developed through both existing and new
relationships inside EPA and DOD.

Remediation Methods for Daschle Suite
Evaluation Time Limited by Extreme Pressure to Re-enter BuildingMethods Evaluated Were:
–Chlorine Dioxide - Liquid and Gas–Para-Formaldehyde–Ozone–Hydrogen Peroxide–Sandia Foam–Bleach

Hart Remediation PlanInitial Concept: Fumigate entire building using ClO2 gasPeer Review: > 20 organizations
* ClO2 appropriate technology* Don't try entire building
Revised Plan* Fumigate Daschle Suite only* Sample all other suites in Hart by following
the mail trail

Cleanup Goal
CDC unable to define a “safe level" for Anthrax* Experts believe that there is a
“safe level"* No health studies * Impacts on sensitive populations unknown
Risk management decision* Cleanup = No detectable growth of Anthrax
spores

HVAC Fumigation Results• Temperature parameter achieved.• Humidity parameter achieved in 5 of 6 critical locations.• ClO2 ppmv concentration parameter inconsistently
achieved.• ClO2 ppmv – hrs CT parameter achieved in 5 of 6 critical
locations.• Spore strip dosimeter array data suggest FDA standard
for pervasive sterilizing sporicidal effects (106 Bs kill and 105 Bs kill) was achieved during the fumigation.
• Post-fumigation environmental and air sampling suggest that the ClO2 fumigation was successful in remediating the spore burden within the HVAC system.
