In this title: The term pyrrhotite-affected school means an elementary school or a secondary school that meets the following criteria: The school has a concrete foundation. Pyrrhotite is present in the school’s concrete foundation, as demonstrated by a petrographic or other type of laboratory core analysis or core inspection. A visual inspection of the school’s concrete foundation indicates that the presence of pyrrhotite is causing the foundation to deteriorate at an unsafe rate.
A qualified engineer determined that the deterioration of the school’s foundation, due to the presence of pyrrhotite— caused the school to become structurally unsound; or will result in the school becoming structurally unsound within the next five years. The term qualified contractor means a contractor who is qualified under State law, or approved by any State agency or other State-sanctioned independent or nonprofit entity, to repair or replace residential or commercial building foundations that are deteriorating due to the presence of pyrrhotite.
