January 2006 Public Health
Consultation, Oak Ridge High School, Final [PDF, 425KB]
This final public health consultation released by ATSDR concludes that current
exposures to naturally occurring amphibole asbestos from campus soil at Oak
Ridge High School have been minimized by the mitigations conducted by the El
Dorado Union High School District (EDUHSD) and the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency. However, the potential exists for current or future exposures from
unmitigated areas on campus or from other off-campus sources. The final public
health consultation includes public comments from the May 6, 2005 through June
30, 2005 public comment period and ATSDR’s responses.

Occurring Asbestos in El Dorado Hills: Questions and Answers
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) and

community on February 24, 2004, to address concerns regarding

to the agencies. Since the level of interest was so great,
the agencies have developed and distributed written responses.
