By KELLEY BOUCHARD Staff Writer A final report on Portland's effort to remove toxic mold from the International Marine Terminal questions whether repairs made by the city will prevent a reoccurrence of mold in the 97-year-old waterfront building. City officials say they are mystified by that conclusion because they have made all the repairs recommended in the report. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health examined the building after Scotia Prince Cruises evacuated the facility, canceled its 2005 cruises to Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, and sued the city for more than $100 million in damages. The city and the ferry company are in arbitration. Bay Ferries Ltd. now occupies the terminal and began running The Cat, a high-speed, catamaran-style ferry, between Portland and Yarmouth in May. The final report, like a draft report given to the city in October, was based on an inspection of the facility in March 2005. At the time, the city was still repairing the terminal following the departure of Scotia Prince Cruises, said Larry Mead, an assistant city manager. The city has since completed $1.3 million in renovations to the terminal, Mead said, including the replacement of a wall where mold was found, the installation of vapor barriers and the repair of openings that allowed water to enter the building and birds to build nests. The federal report acknowledges that the city continued to work on the terminal after federal inspectors visited the site in March 2005. " However, the underlying structural defects of the building have not been addressed, resulting in a high likelihood of continued microbial growth, " the report concluded. " The report speaks for itself, " said Dennis , a spokesman for Scotia Prince Cruises. Mead said the city has done everything the report recommends, short of building a new terminal. He said the report contains a mixed message. He noted that the report asserts that the city hasn't made necessary structural changes and then recommends all of the changes the city has made. Among other repairs, the city updated the terminal's ventilation system, established a regular building maintenance plan and tests air quality and moisture levels in the building every three months. The latest report from Environmental Safety & Hygiene Associates of Westbrook, issued April 24, showed no identifiable moisture or water intrusion and no increase in airborne fungi. " In fact, this assessment, when compared to the previous assessments, showed significantly lower levels of airborne fungi and the absence of specific species of fungi identified in the previous assessments, " the consultant wrote. The consultant attributed the improved results to " a number of factors that include seasonal influence, the lack of moisture infiltration/active fungal growth and the extensive corrective/ maintenance actions taken by the city. " The final report was delayed, Mead said, because the agency was waiting for blood test results for people who had worked in the terminal. The tests were inconclusive, according to the report. Workers' health complaints in March 2005 ranged from upper respiratory distress and skin irritations to irritability and difficulty concentrating, according to the report. Mead said he doesn't expect the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health to do a follow-up inspection of the terminal unless the agency receives a new complaint. The Scotia Prince now sails a chartered route in the Mediterranean Sea between Italy and North Africa, said. Staff Writer Kelley Bouchard can be contacted at 791-6328 or at: kbouchard@...
