3. A specific Quality Assurance/Quality Control program, mitigation evaluation with documented design and O&M. Evaluation questionnaire for homeowner participants of the program.
4. Finalize with the PA DEP Radon Section, with the added incentive of PA DEP approved CE credits for the participants. This will be performed and orchestrated with Denise Bleiler and Bob Lewis.
5. Finalize logistics of the three radon mitigation fan suppliers that have agreed to participate in the program and donate radon mitigation fans.
6. Finalize agreements with testing labs to supply short- term and long-term radon detectors: at least 400+ short- term radon detectors and 100 long-term radon detectors to encompass both pre and post confirmatory radon testing.
7. Inventory management and disbursement logistics and storage location for supplies (fans, pipes, detectors).
8. After the program is approved, approach a big box store and other hardware/radon supplies companies for mitigation piping and associated connectors and request participation from other local businesses.
9. Initial identification of low-income homes in both communities by CCI: first focus will be individual homeowners, then full house rental occupants.
10. Habitat for Humanity to provide any special preparation, including pouring a new floor or other repairs to optimize homes for an ASD installation. In addition, this project will be used as a teaching tool for Habitat for Humanity-Pittsburgh in learning radon mitigation techniques with a secondary program for training and state certification for radon mitigation.
11. Establish logistics and required paperwork for participating in the program, including evaluation and qualifications for participating radon mitigators and testers. The team will conduct extensive outreach and seek media attention. After completion, evaluation surveys and reports will document results and lessons learned. PA AARST anticipates exploring future opportunities for follow-up, identifying the next PA communities to implement the program, and promulgating a model program to other AARST chapters and radon outreach non-profit organizations.

Test 200 homes in low income communities per EPA/PA DEP radon testing protocols with state licensed radon testers (100% assured test results) and mitigate any/all homes with elevated radon levels (25-30+ homes) using state licensed radon mitigators at no cost to the program.
