Federal regulations require that schools be inspected for the presence of asbestos, a material that was used in the construction industry in the recent past. The buildings of the Boquet Valley Central School District were inspected for asbestos containing materials during July of 1989 and the results of that inspection are contained in the Asbestos Management Plan.
If there is asbestos containing material in the building, the Asbestos Management Plan shows the amount present as well as the specific location of the material. The Asbestos Management Plan includes the results of material samples that were taken during the inspections and in preparation for building projects. It also contains documents related to asbestos abatement.
In compliance with Environmental Protection Agency requirements, the last AHERA Triennial Re-Inspection took place in November 2022. Six-month surveillance inspection of asbestos containing materials in BVCSD school buildings was completed in October 2023 and January 2024. The next six-month surveillance inspection will take place in June 2024.
The Asbestos Management Plan is available for review during business hours at the District Office located at the Mountain View Campus in Elizabethtown. A copy of the Asbestos Management Plan is available by request for a minimal fee.
For more details regarding the Asbestos Management Plan and the specific abatement decisions, please contact the Director of Facilities, BVCSD, 518-873-6371 ext. 2504.
