Notification of Asbestos Reinspections


To:		Parents and Staff of West Elementary School


From:		Charles M. Friel, Principal

Date:		August 14, 2007


	In compliance with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA), in 1988, all of
the public schools were inspected for asbestos-containing building
materials.  The inspection findings and the asbestos management plan for
our school has been on file in the administrative office since that
time.

	The EPA requires us to perform reinspections of the
asbestos-containing materials every three years.  During the month of
February accredited asbestos inspectors conducted the latest of the
three-year reinspections.  An accredited management planner reviewed the
results and recommended actions we should take to safely manage each
asbestos-containing material in our building.

	Since 1988 we have been removing asbestos-containing building
materials whenever possible, in full accordance with all regulatory and
safety procedures.  The materials that are left are in good condition
and we will continue to maintain them in place as recommended by the
accredited management planner.

	The results of the reinspection are on file in the management
plan in the school's administrative office.  Everyone is welcome to view
these anytime during normal school hours (M-F, 8:00 a.m.- 4:30 p.m.).
The Asbestos Program Manager, Ralph Knight, of the Plant and Facilities
Department, is available to answer any questions you may have about
asbestos in our building at 978 623-8285.
