This advance planning will ensure that the cleaning effluent or run-off, which is the combination of the cleaning agent and the substance removed from the masonry, is handled and disposed of in an environmentally sound and legal manner. Some alkaline and acidic cleaners can be neutralized so that they can be: safely discharged into storm sewers. However, most solvent-based cleaners cannot be neutralized and are categorized as pollutants, and must be disposed of by a licensed transport, storage and disposal facility. Thus, itis always advisable to consult with the appropriate agencies before starting to clean to ensure that the project progresses smoothly and is not interrupted by a stop-work order because a required Vinyl guttering or polyethylene-lined trougyhs placed around the perimeter of the base of the building can serve to catch chemical cleaning waste as iti is rinsed off the building. This will reduce the amount of chemicals entering and polluting the soil, and also will keep the cleaning waste contained until it can be removed safely. Some patented cleaning systems have Concern over the release of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the air has resulted in the manufacture of new, more environmentally responsible cleaners and palnt removers, while some materiais traditionally used In cleaning may no longer be available for these same reasons, Other health and: safety concerns have created additional deaning challenges, such as permit was not obtained in advance. developed special equipment to facilitate the containment and later disposal of cleaning waste. lead paint removal, which is likelyt to require special removal and disposal techniques.

Water-Repellent Coatings and Waterproof Coatings To begin with, iti is important to understand that waterproof coatings and water-repellent coatings are not the same. Although these terms are frequently interchanged and commonly confused with one another, they are completely different materials. Water-repellent coatings-often referred toi incorrectly as' "sealers", but which do not or should not' "seal"-are intended to keep liquid water from penetrating the surface but to allow water vapor to enter and leave, or pass through, the surface of the masonry, Water-repellent coatings are, generally transparent, or clear, although once applied some may darken or discolor certaln types of masonry while others may give ita glossy or shiny appearance. Waterproof coatings seal the surface from liquid water and from water vapor. They are usually opaque, or pigmented, and include bituminous Water-repellent coatings are formulated to be vapor permeable, or breathable". They do not seal the surface completely to water vapor so it can enter the masonry wall as well as leave the wall. While the first water-repellent coatings to be developed were primarily acrylic or silicone resins in organic solvents, now most water-repellent coatings are water-based and formulated from modified siloxanes, silanes and other akoxysilanes, or metallic stearates. While some of these products are shipped from the factory ready to use, other water-borne water repellents must be diluted at the job site. Unlike earlier water-repellent coatings which tended to form a "film" on the masonry surface, modern water-repellent coatings actually penetrate into the masonry substrate slightly and, generally, are almost invisible if properly applied to the masonry, They are also more vapor permeable than the old coatings, yet they still reduce the vapor permeability of the masonry. Once inside the wall, water vapor can condense at cold spots producing liquid water which, unlike water vapor, cannot escape brick and architectural terra- cottat building have been deaning to protect pedestrians Photo: potentially NPS harmful files, overspray. coatings and some elastomeric paints and coatings.

Brief 1:A Assessing Charrgamdwar-Regalet Treatments for Historic Masonry Buildings through a water-repellent coating. The liquid water within the wall, whether from condensation, leaking gutters, or other sources, can cause considerable damage, Water-repellent coatings are not consolidants. Although modern water-repellents may penetrate slightly beneath the masonry surface, instead ofj just' "sitting" on top ofi it, they do not perform the: same function as a consolidant which is to' "consolidate" and replace lost binder to strengthen deteriorating masonry. Even after many years of laboratory study and testing, few consolidants have proven very effective. The composition of fired products such as brick and architectural terra cotta, as well as many types of building stone, does not lend itself to consolidation. Some modern water-repellent coatings which contain al binder intended to replace the natural binders in stone that have been lost through weathering and natural erosion are described in product literature as both a water repellent and a consolidant The fact that the newer water- repellent coatings penetrate beneath the masonry surface instead ofj just forming al layer on top oft the: surface may indeed convey at least some consolidating properties to certain stones. However, a water-repellent coating cannot be considered a consolldant. In some instances, a water-repellent or' preservative" coating, if applied to already damaged or spalling stone, may form a: surface crust which, ifl It fails, may exacerbate the deterioration by pulling off even more This dear coating hast falled andi is pulling off pleces of the stonez asi itp peels, Photo: NPS files of the stone. Is a Water-Repellent Treatment Necessary? Water-repellent coatings are frequently applied to historic masonry buildings for the wrong reason. They also are often applied without an understanding of what they are and what they arei intended to do. And these coatings can be very difficult, if not impossible, to remove from the masonry ift they fail or become discolored. Most importantly, the application of Most historic masonry buildings, unless they are painted, have survived for decades without a water-repellent coating and, thus, probably do not need one now. Water penetration to the interior of a masonry building is seldom due to porous masonry, but results from poor or deferred maintenance. Leaking roofs, clogged or deteriorated gutters and downspouts, missing mortar, or cracks and open joints around door and window openings are almost always the cause of moisture- related problems in al historic masonry. building If historic masonry buitdings are ept watartiahkana 1 19 Rising damp (capillary moisture pulled up fromt the ground), or condensation can also be a source of excess moisture in masonry buildings. A water-repellent coating will not solve this problem either and, in fact, may be likely to exacerbate it. Furthermore, a water-repellent coating should never be applied to a damp wall. Moisture in the wall would reduce the ability ofac coating to adhere tot the masonry and to penetrate below the surface. But, ifi ito did adhere, itv would hold the moisture inside the masonry because, although a water-repellent coating is permeable to water vapor, liquid water cannot pass through it. In the case of rising damp, a coating may force the moisture to go even higher in the wall because it can slow Excessive moisture in masonry walls may carry waterborne soluble salts from the masonry units themseives or from the mortar through the walls. If the water Is permitted to come tot the surface, the salts may appear on the masonry surface as efflorescence (a whitish powder) upon evaporation. However, the salts can be potentially dangerous if they remain in the masonry and crystallize beneath the: surface as subflorescence. Subflorescence eventually may cause the surface of the masonry tos spali, particularly if a water-repellent coating has been applied which tends to reduce the fiow of moisture out from the subsurface of the masonry, Although many of the newer water-repellent products are more breathable than their predecessors, they can be especially damaging if applied to masonry that contains salts, because they limit the flow of There are some instances when a water-repellent coating may be considered appropriate to use on al historic masonry neglected for a long period of time, necessary repairs may be required in order to make it watertight. If, following a reasonable period of time after the building has been made watertight and has dried out completely, moisture appears actually to be penetrating through the repointed and repaired masonry walls, then the application ofa a water-repellent coating may be considered in selected areas only, This decision should be made in consultation with an architectural conservator. And, if such a treatment is undertaken, it should not be applied tot the entire exterior of the building. Anti-graffiti or barrier coatings are another type of dear coating--although barrier coatings can also be pigmented--that may be applied to exterior masonry, but they are not formulated primarily as water repellents. The purpose oft these coatings is tor make ith harder for graffiti tos stick to a masonry surface and, thus, easier to clean, But, lke water-repellent coatings, in water-repellent coatings tol historic masonry is usually unnecessary. repair; water-repellent coetings shouid spt be necessaly, down evaporation, and thereby retain the moisture in the wall. moisture through masonry. building.

Masonry Buildings most cases the application of anti-graffiti coatings is generally not recommended for historic masonry buildings. These coatings are often quite shiny which can greatly alter the appearance of al historic masonry surface, and they are not always effective. Generally, other ways of discouraging graffiti, such as improved lighting, can be more effective than a coating. However, the application of anti-graffiti coatings may be appropriate in some instances on vulnerable areas of historic masonry buildings which are frequent targets of graffiti that are located in out-of-the-way places where constant surveillance is not possible. been Improper responsible cleaning fort methods thef formation may have of Some water-repellent coatings are recommended by product manufacturers as a means of efflorescence on this brick, Phobo: NPS keeping dirt and pollutants or blological growth from collecting on the surface of masonry Generally, the application of a water-repellent coating is not recommended on a historic masonry building as a means of preventing biological growth.

Gopenally, loweve,watcpreeicoaunysp" icirdudculestourap2D, Awell-planned cleaning project is an essential step in preserving, rehabilitating or restoring a historic masonry building. Proper cleaning methods and coating treatments, when determined necessary for the preservation of the masonry, can enhance the aesthetic character as well as the structural. stability of a historic building. Removing years of accumulated dirt, pollutant crusts, stains, graffiti or paint, if done with appropriate caution, can extend the life and longevity of the historic resource, Cleaning that is carelessly or insensitively prescribed or carried out by inexperienced workers can have the opposite of thei intended effect, It may scar the masonry permanenty, and may actually result in hastening deterioration by introducing harmful residual chemicals and salts into the masonry or causing surface loss.

Cleaning is not recom- mended to reduce the effects of weathering but is acceptable to reduce accumulative deposits of "dirt." Heavily soiled masonry should be cleaned with low pressure water washing (500 pounds per sq. inch) and soft natural brushes. Care should be taken when cleaning sandstone or soft brick. If detergent is necessary check composition before use. Chemical cleaners are acceptable provided a spot test demonstrates the masonry material will not be adversely affected.

He stated that he would like to be treated the same way as they treated these cases in the past. Ed Hodges stated that he did not recall all of the addresses that Mr. Griffin listed but he did address the cases that her remembered. He: stated thati in most case the applicant came with pictures showing the disrepair oft the windows. Mr. Hodges stated that ift the windows were not repairable then the Commission had allowed replacement windows int the past. Mr. Hodges asked Mr. Griffini if he had pictures of his windows showing the condition. Mr. Griffin stated that he did not. Ms. Hickson asked if the windows were replaced on the other three sides.

Mr: Stroud stated that if they Commission allowed the request then they might as well take out the entire provision from the guidelines. Mr. Stroud stated that windows are significant architectural features of their homes and it is not the wood that they care sO much about, iti is the glass thati is so important. He stated that windows need to be preserved and he felt that there was no new evidence presented that should change their decision. Dee Congleton came forward and was sworn in. Ms. Congleton stated that. John' Wood from the SHIPPO office once stated that 95% ofa all wood windows can be repaired. She: stated that she went and looked at the windows and they look repairable to her. She stated that the request Jerry Creech came forward and was sworn in. Mr. Creech stated that he himself had repaired and rebuilt windows for his ownl home. He explained that there is nothing about a wood window that cannot repaired.

Seth Shoneman stated that over 80% of the windows have been replaced on each house. He stated that hei is all about preserving historic! homes, but hei felt the ship had: sailed on these two houses. He stated that hei isi int favor ofa allowing Mr. Griffin to replace the windows on the front just for consistency. He stated that if the Commission wanted to make ar mark and say they wouldn'tallow replacement windows have a certain date he would be okay with that as well. Mr. Hodges stated that originally the Commission told him that he could not replace the front windows, so he has known that from Seth Shoneman made a motion to allow Mr. Griffin to replace the windows on the front façade of the two homes at 315 and 319 West 2nd Street with the muttons on the exterior oft the glass to match the windows already installed.

Monica Ferrari asked why the units couldn't be place in the rear. Mr. McLean stated that 8 years ago these same two units were approved for the same location. Mr. Hodges stated that what was approved 8 years ago is irrelevant. Mr. McLean then explained why putting the units at the rear would not work due to the line set that provides the refrigerate. He explained that these units are brand new units and are whisper quiet units. Mr. McLean stated that ift they put the units on the west side they would bei fully exposed to the parking lot and thel line sets wouid have to be longer which causes Ed Hodges stated that the application has not been changed and the Commission is not being asked to approve anything that has not already been approved by staff sO there is no reason for any other conversation.
