operations. Airspace management lacks the flexibility required for dynamic operations and ATC lacks the decision support tools to continue metering and maintaining efficient flows during conditions constrained by weather and other events. Future technological developments will permit the development of a robust 4 dimensional trajectory for separation purposes. This robust 4DT trajectory will create a more predictable NAS operational landscape and dynamic 4DT operations will allow maintaining efficient metering throughout capacity-reducing events. Along the way and after, controllers will do what we have always done so well; adapt to rapidly changing complexity and meteorological conditions and deliver the safest, most efficient NAS on the face of the planet. OSHA: Mike Odryna (ZBW) is the Chairman of NATCA's OSHA Committee. He has provided an update for the membership. Weekly Meetings: Continuing weekly meeting with Kathleen Edic (AJW-23) EOSH Services. POC: (Mike Odryna) New Orleans Lakefront Tower Mold Issues The project to seal the exterior of the Base Building started on October 25th. The first stage will include removal of failed caulking and the application of an exterior sealant. This process will take several weeks. Once completed a project to remove all areas affected by mold in the interior of the building will begin. Weekly Air Monitoring continues to show interior mold levels at acceptable levels. POC: (Mike Odryna, Geoff Bacci, Nichol Bell, Lawrence Pharr) Dallas Love (DAL) Tower Mold Issues An ongoing water intrusion issue is being investigated at DAL Tower. Several employees had voiced concerns about the IAQ at the facility that is caused by areas within the facility that have been showing signs of Water Intrusion for many years. The Agency hired an independent Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH) to investigate. The CIH found an area within the Breakroom that showed signs of mold. Also, areas in the stairwell that appear to have been moist in the past. They also identified areas outside the tower where the chalk is failing and must be repaired. The Agency is working on a plan to move forward. POC: (Shannon Smith, Mike Odryna) Great Falls (GTF) Tower/TRACON Mold Issues Shawn Kramer received reports of water continuously infiltrating the first and second floors of the facility at Fort Smith. It turned out that TechOps was aware of the problem and allowed it to continue with plans to fix it in the next fiscal year. The FACREP was instructed to immediately file a UCR. Subsequently the FAA appeared on site to initiate a short-term fix to the leaks and remove the wet sheetrock and carpet. POC: (Shawn Kramer) Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) MOU
