Mold Remediation Plan — EPA + IICRC S520
Mold remediation framework based on EPA Guidance and IICRC S520. Assessment, containment, removal, clearance, and the moisture source elimination essential to prevent recurrence.
When this template is required
No federal OSHA mold standard and no federal exposure limit for mold or spores — 29 CFR 1910.1000 lists none. EPA guidance and ANSI/IICRC S520 supply the consensus framework that contracts and insurers adopt. New York, Florida and Texas license mold assessors and remediators separately and require a written work plan; Louisiana licenses mold remediation only. Where respirators are used, 29 CFR 1910.134(c)(1) requires a written program.
Why this template
EPA + IICRC S520 alignment
EPA's 'Mold Remediation in Schools and Commercial Buildings' provides framework; IICRC S520 provides industry methods. Plan aligns with both.
Condition classification
S520 classifies contamination by condition (1=normal; 2=settled spores; 3=actual growth). Different conditions require different methods.
Moisture source elimination
Remediation without moisture elimination fails. Plan emphasizes moisture source as first remediation step.
State-aware licensure
New York (Labor Law Article 32), Florida (Ch. 468) and Texas (Occupations Code Ch. 1958) license assessors and remediators separately and bar one firm from doing both. Louisiana licenses remediation only, with no assessor license, and triggers on contract value. Plan carries a state licensure register completed before pricing.

Frequently asked
Is mold remediation regulated?
No federal OSHA standard. EPA provides guidance (2008). IICRC S520 is the consensus industry standard. Several states license mold work: New York (Labor Law Article 32, since 2016), Florida (Ch. 468, since 2010), Texas (Occupations Code Ch. 1958, since 2004) and Louisiana (remediation license only, since 2004).
What's IICRC S520?
Standard for Professional Mold Remediation — industry consensus developed by IICRC. Covers assessment, containment, methods, worker protection, clearance. Widely adopted; voluntary in itself, but routinely made binding by contract, insurer or state licensing scheme.
Why moisture source elimination first?
Mold needs moisture. Without moisture elimination, remediation fails — mold returns. Plan includes moisture source identification, repair, monitoring, verification.
What's post-remediation verification?
Verification that remediation succeeded — visual inspection (no remaining mold, no remaining water damage), moisture content within normal range, optionally air sampling. PRV protocol documents the verification.
