On October 22, 1986, President Reagan signed into law the Asbestos  Hazard Emergency Response Act.  The law required EPA to develop  regulations that provide a comprehensive framework for addressing  asbestos problems in public and private elementary and secondary  schools.  On October 30, 1987, EPA published the Asbestos Containing  Material in Schools Rule.  This new rule requires all public and private  elementary and secondary schools to inspect for friable and non-friable  asbestos, develop asbestos management plans that address asbestos  hazards in school buildings, and implement response actions in a timely  fashion.  This rule became effective 12/14/1987.   Buckley-Loda Community Unit School District #8 conducted a complete  inspection of its facilities in 1988 utilizing the service of Lyle  Martin, P.E.  The results of this inspection have been included in a  management plan.  This management plan is available in the  administrative offices of Christ Lutheran High School during normal  business hours, without cost or restriction, for inspections by  representatives of the EPA and the State, the public, including  teachers, other school personnel and their representatives, and parents.   There may be a reasonable charge for making copies of the management  plans.  The Buckley-Loda CUSD #8 closed the facility in Buckley on May  31, 1990.  The East Central Illinois Lutheran High School Association  purchased it on January 10, 1996.  A re-inspection is required every three (3) years and was conducted on  March 4, 1998 by David J. Roth, MEAD Environmental Associates, Inc.,  Cape Girardeau, Missouri.  The building was subsequently re-inspected on  April 28, 2000, May 7, 2003, June 30, 2006 and July 13, 2009.  You, as a parent, are encouraged to examine the management plan that  affects you child(ren).  The purpose of the Federal and State  regulations is to protect the health and well being of all persons  entering the building of the association for any reason.  This  association takes very seriously the recommendations made in the  management plan.   The person in the Association trained to oversee asbestos activities and  ensure compliance is Ronald Wagner.  As required in the rule, Mr.  Wagner is the single contact for the public to obtain information about  asbestos-related activities in the Association.  You may reach Mr.  Wagner at 217-394-2547.  If you have further questions, please contact the school office during  regular business hours.  217-394-2547
