The AHERA rule became effective on December 14, 1987 and applies to all non-profit elementary and secondary schools nationwide, both public and private. Local Education Agencies (LEAs) are responsible for ensuring compliance with the AHERA rule and are required, among other things, to develop and maintain an up-to-date Asbestos Management Plan (AMP), conduct training, inspections, and sampling related to asbestos, manage asbestos properly and provide yearly notification to parents, teachers and employee organizations about the AMP and any asbestos-related activities. LEAs are also responsible for designating a contact person known as the Designated Person (DP) to oversee asbestos-related activities in the school and ensure that the AHERA responsibilities of the LEA are met. The quality of a school's asbestos program depends heavily upon the dedication and work of the DP with the support of the LEA. The LEA and the DP work together to ensure that each school is in compliance with federal, state and local asbestos regulations and that there are no uncontrolled releases of asbestos fibers in the school which could pose a health threat to children and school workers. Even though the AHERA rule has been in place for years, EPA and the states have found that compliance issues remain, particularly in the area of schools maintaining and updating their AMPs to reflect current reinspection information, operation and maintenance activities, periodic surveillance and response/post-response actions. An up-to-date compliant AMP is key to the success of a school's asbestos program and the protection of children's and school workers' health. In order to enhance compliance, EPA Region 2 has developed an "AHERA Asbestos Management Plan Self- Audit Checklist for Designated Person's" and this companion guidance document, a "Model AHERA Asbestos Management Plan for Local Education Agencies." It is recommended that the Checklist be reviewed first in order to quickly identify any potential deficiencies in the school's AMP. The AHERA Asbestos Management Plan Self-Audit Checklist for Designated Person's is designed to help the DP determine whether or not the school has an up-to-date compliant AMP. The Checklist is divided into six sections: General Information, Inspections and Reinspections, Response Actions, Operations and Maintenance, Periodic Surveillance and Notification. Each section of the Checklist contains questions to guide the DP through a detailed compliance assessment of the school's AMP with check boxes for Yes, No or Not Applicable. Supporting regulatory citations are provided on the Checklist along with spaces for the DP to make notes. Following the Checklist is a Glossary and a list of Acronyms. This companion guidance document a "Model AHERA Asbestos Management Plan for Local Education Agencies" provides step-by-step instructions for developing an AMP utilizing a suggested standard format. This document contains suggested forms for including in the school's in ------- AMP and tracks the format of the Checklist: General Information, Inspections and Reinspections, Response Actions, Operations and Maintenance, Periodic Surveillance and Notification. Following the forms is a Glossary and a list of Acronyms. For convenience, tips are included in the Checklist which note the corresponding suggested forms that should be completed in the Model AHERA AMP. Please note that the EPA Region 2 Model AMP forms and Checklist are not a substitute for the applicable legal requirements, are not regulations themselves, and are not required to be used/completed under AHERA. Rather, they are provided by EPA as guidance to enhance schools' compliance with EPA AHERA regulations regarding the required documentation that must be included in the AMP. These documents do not impose legally binding requirements on any party, including EPA, states, or the regulated community, and are not intended and cannot be relied upon to create any rights, substantive or procedural, enforceable by any party in litigation with the United States. Please contact your state asbestos coordinator for information on any applicable state regulations/AMP forms. If you have any questions on these guidance documents, please call Deborah Craig, EPA Region 2 Asbestos Outreach Coordinator, at (212) 637-3521 or e-mail her at craig.deborah@epa.gov. These guidance documents are available on the EPA website at http://www.epa.gov/asbestos/pubs/asbestos_in_schools.html. For additional asbestos information, please contact the EPA Region 2 Asbestos Coordinator Gaetano LaVigna by phone at (212) 637- 4069 or by e-mail at lavigna. gaetano@epa. gov. The EPA Region 2 Caribbean Asbestos Contact, Carlos M. Rivera, can be reached by phone at (787) 977-5846 or by e-mail at rivera.carlos@epa.gov. For any additional asbestos information, please contact your state/EPA asbestos coordinator or call EPA's Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Hotline at (202) 554-1404 or the EPA Asbestos Ombudsman at (800) 368-5888, or visit EPA's website at http://www.epa.gov/asbestos/pubs/asbestos_in_schools.html. A list of state/EPA asbestos coordinators is provided on the EPA website. iv ------- Asbestos Management Plan Preparation Instructions The following information provides step-by-step instructions for developing a school's Asbestos Management Plan (AMP) utilizing a suggested standardized format. The Model AMP forms are not a substitute for the applicable legal requirements, are not regulations themselves, and are not required to be used/completed under AHERA. Rather, they are provided by EPA Region 2 as guidance to enhance schools' compliance with EPA AHERA regulations regarding the required documentation that must be included in the AMP. These Model AMP forms do not impose legally binding requirements on any party, including EPA, states, or the regulated community, and are not intended and cannot be relied upon to create any rights, substantive or procedural, enforceable by any party in litigation with the United States. Please contact your state Asbestos Coordinator for any applicable state regulations/AMP forms. Under 40 CFR § 763.93(a)-(b) of EPA's Asbestos-Containing Materials in Schools regulations, the initial AMPs were required to be submitted to the state for review and your state may require you to submit subsequent changes to your AMP. Please be sure to read the instructions for each of the Model AMP forms. The information requested on the Model AMP forms is generally self-explanatory, however explanations have been provided in the instructions below for those items which may require further clarification. You may also wish to refer to the AHERA definitions provided in the Glossary, Appendix A, or the list of Acronyms provided in Appendix B. AMP FORM 1 - CONTACT INFORMATION Provide the requested contact information for the Local Education Agency (LEA) and the school. Provide the Designated Person's (DP) name, address, telephone number and the course names, dates, and hours of asbestos-related training courses taken by the DP to carry out his or her duties. This information is required under 40 CFR § 763.93(e)(4) to be included in the AMP. Although not required, EPA suggests that the name of the training agency be provided on this form and that copies of the DP's training certificates be attached to this form. Provide the requested contact and accreditation information for each Management Planner who contributed to the AMP. Under 40 CFR § 763.93(e)(12)(i)-(ii), the consultant's name and a statement that he/she is accredited under the state accreditation program or another state's accreditation program or an EPA-approved course must be included in the AMP. Although not required, EPA suggests that the name of the training agency and the course name and date be provided on this form and that a copy of the accreditation certificate for each Management Planner be attached to this form. AMP FORM 2 - SCHOOL BUILDING LIST Provide the name and address of each building used as a school building for this school (e.g., on-site administration building, maintenance building, storage building and any off-site building used for classrooms). Place an "X" in the appropriate column to note whether the building has friable v ------- asbestos-containing material (ACBM), non-friable ACBM, friable and non-friable suspected ACBM assumed to be asbestos-containing material (ACM), or no ACBM (i.e., no ACBM at the time of construction). If there is no ACBM in the building as a result of a removal action, note "removal" and insert the date (e.g., removal - 2/10/04) in the no ACBM column. All of the aforementioned information is required to be included in the AMP under 40 CFR § 763.93(e)(1) except for the "no ACBM" related information which EPA suggests including in the AMP for clarification. Although not required, EPA also suggests that the following information be included on this form: original date of the building construction and the date of any new additions. The suggested additions to the School Building List will provide an enhanced "snapshot" overview of the status changes that have occurred in the school buildings over time. Note, as required under 40 CFR § 763.93(a)(l)-(2), the AMP developed for each school must include all of the buildings that are owned, leased or otherwise used by the LEA as school buildings for that school. Therefore, the School Building List must include all of these buildings even if they are located off-site from the main school campus. AMP FORM 3 - DESIGNATED PERSON ASSURANCES Provide the name of the DP and have the DP sign and date this form which lists the LEA's general responsibilities under 40 CFR § 763.84. Under 40 CFR § 763.93(i), the AMP must contain a true and correct statement signed by the DP which certifies that the LEA's general responsibilities under 40 CFR § 763.84 have been or will be met. AMP FORM 4 - EVALUATION OF RESOURCES Describe the resources needed (e.g., financial, personnel and equipment) to complete response actions successfully and carry out reinspection, operations and maintenance activities, periodic surveillance, and training. This evaluation of resources is required to be included in the AMP under 40 CFR § 763.93(e)(l 1). AMP FORM 5 - TRAINING RECORD FOR MAINTENANCE & CUSTODIAL STAFF Provide the following training information for maintenance and custodial staff required to be included in the AMP under 40 CFR §§ 763.93(h) and 763.94(c): person's name and job title, date training was completed, location of training and number of hours completed. Although not required, EPA suggests that the name of the training agency and the course name be provided on this form and that a copy of the training certificate be attached to this form. Under 40 CFR § 763.92(a)(1), every member of the maintenance and custodial staff who works in a building that contains ACBM must receive awareness training of at least 2 hours whether or not they are required to work with ACBM. Under 40 CFR § 763.92(a)(2), maintenance and custodial staff who conduct any activities that will result in the disturbance of ACBM must receive an additional 14 hours of training. AMP FORM 6 - INSPECTION COVER SHEET If your school is comprised of more than one building, each building inspection or reinspection vi ------- should be summarized on a separate form. (Note, under 40 CFR § 763.85(b)(1), a reinspection must be conducted at least once every three years after a management plan is in effect.) Provide the requested cover sheet information about the accredited inspector(s) and the inspection or reinspection of each school building. Although not required by EPA, it is suggested that the name of the training agency and the course name and date be provided on this form and that a copy of the accreditation certificate for each inspector be attached to this form. If this inspection report cover sheet is not used for the AMP, ensure that the inspection report for each inspection or reinspection includes the following information as required under 40 CFR § 763.93(e)(3)(i): date of the inspection, and the name, signature, state of accreditation, and, if applicable, the accreditation number of each accredited inspector performing the inspection. Attach a copy of the signed inspection report. A copy of the signed inspection report, along with other related documentation, must be provided to the DP and included as a record in the AMP within 30 days of the inspection under 40 CFR § 763.85(a)(4)(vi) or reinspection under 40 CFR § 763.85(b)(3)(vii). See these cites and 40 CFR § 763.93(e)(3) for details on required AMP documentation. For inspections conducted before December 14, 1987 (i.e., the effective date of the October 30, 1987 EPA Asbestos-Containing Materials in Schools rule), see also 40 CFR § 763.93(e)(2)(i)-(v). The AMP instructions/forms for inspections and reinspections are as follows: Form 6 - Inspection Cover Sheet, Form 7 - Room/Functional Space Assessment, Form 8 - Homogeneous Area/Bulk Sample Summary and Form 9 - Homogeneous Area/Bulk Sample Diagram. AMP FORM 7 - ROOM/FUNCTIONAL SPACE ASSESSMENT Written assessments are required to be made for each inspection and reinspection under 40 CFR § 763.88 of all ACBM and suspected ACBM assumed to be ACM in a building by an accredited inspector. This form may be used to provide the assessment information for an inspection or reinspection. The inspector must sign and date the written assessment, provide his or her state of accreditation, and, if applicable, accreditation number, and provide a copy of the assessment to the DP for inclusion in the AMP within 30 days of the assessment (40 CFR §§ 763.88(a)(2) and 763.93(e)(3)(v)). Although not required, EPA suggests that the name of the training agency and the course name and date be provided on this form and that a copy of the accreditation certificate for the inspector be attached to this form. Fill out a separate form for each specific type of ACBM or suspected ACBM assumed to be ACM for each room/functional space. For example, if a room/functional space contains two types of thermal system insulation, one type of surfacing material, and one miscellaneous material (requiring four unique homogeneous area numbers), then four separate forms should be completed for that particular room/functional space. Homogeneous area (HA) numbers should be assigned to each specific homogeneous material identified as ACBM or suspected ACBM assumed to be ACM within a building. These HA numbers can be used to identify homogeneous materials on a blueprint or diagram. vii ------- Identify the type of material as thermal, surfacing, or miscellaneous by checking the appropriate box and then describe the material in the space provided. Be sure to include such factors as color, texture, thickness, and method of application, if applicable (e.g., sprayed on or trowelled on). The amount of each material should be recorded, both in total quantity and as a percentage of the functional space (40 CFR § 763.88(c)(1)). For example, if there are 200 linear feet of various pipe runs in a room with 50 linear feet covered by air cell insulation, it should be noted that there are 50 linear feet of that particular homogeneous material in a room and that it covers 25% of the area (50/200). Complete the "Damage Assessment" section for all friable materials. The amount of each specific type of damage should be noted. Information regarding the causes and severity of damage should be recorded in the comment section (40 CFR § 763.88(c)(2)(i)-(ii) and (c)(5)). Note if there is an accumulation of powder/dust/debris similar in appearance to the material being assessed and its location (e.g., beneath the pipe, boiler, or duct). This information can be used as evidence to confirm damage. Note if the material is in a supply or a return air plenum. If asbestos fibers are released from the ACBM into the ventilation air stream they have the potential to be transported to locations where people are present. The location of any asbestos fibers in a supply air plenum is usually more significant than in a return plenum since the distance of transport to the occupied room/functional space is typically shorter and the dilution by makeup air is less significant. Note the extent or spread of damage over large areas or large percentages of the homogeneous area (40 CFR § 763.88(c)(2)(iii)). Complete the "Potential for Contact with the Material" section and note whether or not the material is accessible (40 CFR § 763.88(c)(3)). Note the potential for disturbance of this material (40 CFR § 763.88(c)(4)). The potential for disturbance can be directly related to accessibility or other factors such as proposed renovations, vibrations, air erosion, etc. Circle the appropriate classification from the "Assessment Category" and give the reason for the classification (40 CFR § 763.88(b)). Note the preventative measures which might eliminate the reasonable likelihood of undamaged ACM from becoming significantly damaged (40 CFR § 763.88(c)(6)). AMP FORM 8 - HOMOGENEOUS AREA/BULK SAMPLE SUMMARY Provide the requested homogeneous area/bulk sample summary information for each inspection or reinspection and fill out a separate form for each school building. For each inspection and reinspection conducted under 40 CFR § 763.85 the AMP must include a viii ------- blueprint, diagram, or written description of each school building that identifies clearly each location and approximate square or linear footage of homogeneous areas where material was sampled for ACM, the exact location where each bulk sample was collected, date of collection, homogeneous areas where friable suspected ACBM is assumed to be ACM, and where nonfriable suspected ACBM is assumed to be ACM. In addition, a description of the manner used to determine sampling locations must be included in the AMP. See 40 CFR § 763.93(e)(3)(ii)-(iii) for these inspection/reinspection requirements and for inspections conducted before December 14, 1987 (i.e., the effective date of the October 30, 1987 EPA Asbestos-Containing Materials in Schools rule), see also 40 CFR § 763.93(e)(2)(ii)). For details on how to collect bulk samples, see 40 CFR § 763.86. For each inspection and reinspection conducted under 40 CFR § 763.85 the AMP must also include the following information about the accredited inspector that collected the samples: name, signature, state of accreditation and, if applicable, the accreditation number of the inspector, as required under 40 CFR § 763.93 (e)(3 )(iii). Although not required, EPA suggests that the name of the training agency and the course name and date be provided on this form and that a copy of the accreditation certificate for the inspector be attached to this form. To provide a blueprint or diagram in lieu of the aforementioned written description, see Form 9 - Homogeneous Area/Bulk Sample Diagram.

AMP FORM 9 - HOMOGENEOUS AREA/BULK SAMPLE DIAGRAM For each inspection and reinspection conducted under 40 CFR § 763.85 provide one blueprint or diagram for each HA that identifies clearly each location and approximate square or linear footage of homogeneous areas where material was sampled for ACM. See also the instructions for Form 8 - Homogeneous Area/Bulk Sample Summary for further details regarding the required documentation of homogeneous areas/bulk samples in the AMP and the supporting regulatory cites for inspections/reinspections. As also discussed in the instructions for Form 8, a blueprint or diagram may be included in the AMP in lieu of a written description of the homogeneous areas where material was sampled for ACM. Note, a written description and a blueprint or diagram may be provided, but is not required by EPA. AMP FORM 10 - PLAN FOR REINSPECTION Under 40 CFR § 763.93(e)(9), a plan for reinspection under 40 CFR § 763.85 must be included in the AMP. Use this form to provide the plan. Note, at least once every three years after a management plan has been in effect, a reinspection must be made by an accredited inspector of all friable and nonfriable known or assumed ACBM in each school building that the LEA leases, owns, or otherwise uses as a school building (40 CFR § 763.85(b)(l)-(2)).
