Environmental Consultants (203) 324-2222 And Laboratory Services Fax (203) 324-9857 HYGENIX, INC. 49 Woodside Street Stamford, CT 06902 ASBESTOS UPDATE November 2, 2011 Dear Parents, Teachers and Employees, On October 30, 1987 the Federal Government enacted legislation for application through the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), entitled through the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA). The law requires all elementary and secondary schools, both public and private, to conduct inspections to determine the location of asbestos containing materials and subsequently, to develop a management plan to ensure proper maintenance of these materials. This legislation requires, moreover, that students’ parents and teachers be apprised of the results of such inspections. This notice is provided to comply with that requirement. The Diocese of Bridgeport, in accordance with the Regulations of AHERA and Connecticut State Agencies, “Asbestos Containing Materials in Schools,” has had asbestos inspections performed and Management Plans developed for your school. These plans are designed to manage and control any asbestos containing materials or assumed asbestos containing materials in the school building. Your school building is inspected every six months to determine any changes in the condition of these materials. Additionally, the building is thoroughly re-inspected every three years by CT licensed asbestos inspectors following the same criteria as the original inspection. These plans are on file in the main office of your school, and are available for review by appointment with the school principal. Sincerely, James M. Twitchell HYGENIX, Inc. Asbestos Inspector/Management Planner (CT License #000241)
