2017-2018 MINERAL COUNTY SCHOOLS

ANNUAL NOTICE OF ASBESTOS MANAGEMENT PLAN

Per the requirements of the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) 40 CFR, PART 763, SUBPART E, each facility in the Mineral County School System is required to have an Asbestos Management Plan.

In accordance with Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations, all Mineral County Schools have been inspected for and some have been found to contain asbestos material. Friable asbestos within a building may increase the risk of adverse health effects if the fibers become airborne in concentrations exceeding background levels. A record of the inspection report, diagrams of location(s) of asbestos containing materials and other pertinent information contained in the school’s asbestos management plan is available for review in the school’s administrative office or by contacting Kenneth Baker – Director of Support Services at 304-788-4210, extension 211.

Asbestos does not present a health risk if it is maintained in a manner required by the Environmental Protection Agency.
