ASBESTOS REMOVAL UPDATE

Please be advised that asbestos removal work will be performed at East Montpelier Elementary School between December 24, 2013 and January 17, 2014.

The work will be conducted in the 1965 building section (administration area, east classrooms and etc.).  The asbestos-containing materials scheduled for removal are vinyl floor tiles, adhesive on mopboards and vinyl floor sheeting.  The asbestos removal areas will be isolated from the rest of the school building by a sealed, negative air pressure containment.  Each entrance leading the asbestos removal areas will be demarcated with signs that read, “Danger Asbestos” to warn people to keep out of these areas.

The abatement work will be conducted by Techtron Environmental from Essex Jct., Vermont.  Techtron is fully licensed and accredited as an asbestos abatement contractor by the Vermont Department of Health and the US Environmental Protection Agency respectively.  

The asbestos removal activities will be monitored by Crothers Environmental Group (CEG) out of Morrisville, Vermont.   CEG is an independent consulting company with absolutely no monetary affiliation with the asbestos removal contractor.   CEG is fully licensed and accredited as an asbestos consulting entity by the VDOH and the USEPA respectively.   CEG is tasked with ensuring that containment barriers are constructed properly before any asbestos removal activities begin.  CEG will also be collecting asbestos air samples before, during and after the work. In addition, CEG will conduct random compliance inspections of the asbestos removal contractor’s work practices.
