AHERA Notice

August 3, 2026

As part of the federal Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA), the Fox Chapel Area School District must provide notification to all building occupants and legal guardian(s )of the availability and location of the asbestos management plans and of any
post-response activities, including periodic re-inspections and surveillance activities planned or in progress.

During the 2025-2026 school year, periodic six-month surveillance activities were performed by district employees.

A building re-inspection by an EPA-accredited inspector was performed in all district buildings in 2026. The building inspections are designed to meet the requirements of AHERA Regulation 40 CFR Part 763, subpart E, “Asbestos-Contaminating Materials in
Schools." A copy of this inspection and the six-month surveillance inspection is available for review in each school's maintenance office by any building occupant or
legal guardian(s).

AHERA regulations require a re-inspection every three years by an accredited building inspector. The next building re-inspections are scheduled for January 2029.

 

Currently, there is no asbestos-related work scheduled in the district.
