Northland Pines Asbestos Management Plan Notification
As a result of federal legislation (Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act-AHERA), each primary and secondary school in the nation is required to complete a stringent inspection for asbestos and to develop a plan of management for all asbestos-containing building materials. Northland Pines School District has a goal to be in full compliance with this law and is following the spirit, as well as the letter of the law. As a matter of policy, the school shall continue to maintain a safe and healthful environment for employees and students.
In keeping with this legislation, all buildings (including portables and support buildings) owned or leased by Northland Pines School District were inspected by EPA accredited inspectors. Furthermore, Northland Pines School District has completed their three year re-inspection required by AHERA. MacNeil Environmental, a private environmental consulting company, has accomplished this task under its current contract.
Short-term workers (outside contractors - i.e., telephone repair workers, electricians and exterminators) must be provided information regarding the location of asbestos in which they may come into contact. All short-term workers shall contact the lead maintenance person before beginning work to receive this information.
A copy of the Asbestos Management Plan is available for review in the District Office. Copies are available at fifteen cents per page. Questions related to the plan should be directed to Patrick Murphy, MS, MacNeil Environmental, Inc., Burnsville, Minnesota, at (952) 890-3452 ext. 618, or by contacting Dave Bohnen, Buildings and Grounds Director, Northland Pines School District at (715) 479-5031.
The Northland Pines School District is required by law to post this notification.
