Annual AHERA Notification

Annual AHERA Notification 

11/20/2024 

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) requires that each year, Dansville Central School District workers and building occupants receive notification of asbestos removal or abatement activities such as a response action or inspection (EPA 40 CFR § 763 Subpart E).

This communication serves to inform all parents, legal guardians, teachers, administrators and all other employees that the six-month periodic surveillance of asbestos at all buildings as required by AHERA was performed on October 9,2024. The three-year reinspection, also required by law, was performed by a fully accredited Asbestos Inspector. All asbestos-containing materials that remain are in good condition and are located primarily in inaccessible areas. The next three-year reinspection will be due by July of 2025. Updated asbestos management plans for each school building are available for review in the School Facilities Office.

Each building will continue to have a six-month periodic surveillance and a three-year reinspection as required by AHERA. All abatement projects have been and will continue to be performed by New York State and EPA approved asbestos abatement contractors. During the next year, we plan to conduct the following asbestos related activities at the following school buildings: Abatement of floor tiles as part of the 2022 CIP project at Dansville High School

Any questions regarding asbestos removal projects or any asbestos related issues should be addressed to Derek Brown, Director of Facilities, at (585)335-4000 during regular business hours.
