Asbestos Management Plan

Bible Center School is routinely inspected in accordance with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA). The EPA has issued a final rule, 40 CFR Part 763, Asbestos Containing Material in schools, commonly referred to as AHERA. This rule requires all Local Education Agencies to identify asbestos-containing materials (ACM) in their school buildings and to take appropriate actions to control the release of asbestos fibers.

Certain construction materials may contain asbestos and are considered Asbestos-Containing Building Materials (ACBM). BCS continuously monitors the status of known and assumed ACBM throughout its facilities by conducting three-year reinspections of newly identified or remaining ACBM.

The last three-year inspection was completed in 2024. The next three-year inspection will be completed in 2027. This is to notify you that a copy of the Asbestos Management Plan, including post-response action activities, is available during regular school hours by appointment. For questions, contact Stephanie Schafer, Head of School, or Steve DeBord, Facilities Director at (304) 549-1516.
