Please refer to the appropriate section within the case study for more information on a particular concern. I have attempted to list all the hazards or concerns that have been noted during our review. We have made efforts to resolve many of the items noted. We have found damaged asbestos in many of the local schools. The degree of damage, type of asbestos containing material involved, and the location of the material will determine the significance of the hazard presented by the material.
Asbestos containing material is present in all local schools.
The presence of this material requires that we remain vigilant to ensure that future renovations and utility installations do not damage this material and result in the uncontrolled release of asbestos. The water quality provided by the cafeteria sinks and drinking fountains should be tested on a regular basis. We have found that the acidic nature of the local water has caused these fixtures to leach lead and copper if the water is allowed to remain stagnant. You should consider your water source and local contaminant concerns when developing a sampling strategy. We found hazardous chemicals present at all local schools.
