Dear Andrew Haas,

The Vermont Department of Health (Health) and Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) have reviewed the results of recent indoor air sampling for PCBs at Bellows Falls Middle School.

PCBs were detected, but no applicable Vermont School Action Level was exceeded. One detected level was between 45-60 ng/m3 and this space requires additional indoor sampling. Sampling details are outlined in the attached letter.

We recognize there Is a lot of information in this letter. Staff from Health, DEC, and Agency of Education (AOE) are available to meet with you to discuss the results. Please let us know which day(s) and time(s) work for you by emailing me and [email protected].

Please reach out with any questions.
