DTSC Public Meeting to Discuss Draft RAW for the Proposed ORHS Expansion
The Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) will hold a public meeting to discuss the draft Removal Action Plan (RAW) prepared for upcoming construction activities associated with a proposed expansion on the Oak Ridge High School (ORHS) site. The ORHS is situated in an area known to contain naturally-occurring asbestos (NOA). The draft RAW, currently undergoing a 30-day public comment period which ends on February 15, 2008, describes how the expansion project will be conducted to prevent or reduce potential risks to public health and the environment. During the meeting the DTSC will answer community questions regarding the proposed expansion and details of the draft RAW.
