Public Notices

Dear Staff, Students and Par-ents of the Watertown Public Schools:

Congress enacted the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) in 1986 that re-quired public and private, sec-ondary and elementary schools to identify asbestos containing building material (ACBM) in their school buildings and take ap-propriate actions to control the release of asbestos fibers. The US Environmental Protection Agency finalized a regulatory program in 1987 which enforc-es the AHERA mandate which states that every school building must be inspected for asbestos and it requires that the inspec-tion must be done by an EPA certified inspector. The law also requires that each school build-ing have an “Asbestos Manage-ment Plan”. The purpose of this plan is to assure occupants that any asbestos contained mate-rial that may be present in the building are kept in a “safe, un-damaged” condition.

Part of this law requires that each school keep a copy of this Asbestos Management Plan on file and that this plan be avail-able for public viewing. It is the intent of this letter to inform you of the asbestos in the School District and the availability of the management plan.

The asbestos in the District is confined to the following areas:

Senior High School — Pipe in-sulation, floor tileIntermediate School — Floor tileGarfield School — Pipe insula-tion, floor tileMckinley School — Pipe insu-lationRoosevelt School — Floor tile

In general, asbestos containing materials that are hard, such as floor tile are not dangerous. Therefore, the floor tile is of lit-tle concern as long as they are maintained intact. The floor tile has been put under an ongoing surveillance and maintenance program which mandates the material be kept intact and free of damage. Pipe insulation that could contain asbestos is locat-ed only in the mechanical areas.It is the intention of the Water-town School District to keep all building occupants and pub-lic informed and to be advised that the “Asbestos Management Plan” is available for viewing during normal business hours at the Watertown School District Business Office.

Sincerely/s/Dr. Jeff DanielsenSuperintendentPublished one time at the cost of $65.78.
