Analysis of these samples suggested unusual airborne asbestos levels at the school sites, with outdoor samples showing higher levels than indoor samples. However, because of inconsistencies in the results from those initial samples, it was not clear if a significant asbestos problem exists at the schools, or what the origin of the airborne asbestos could be. Therefore, this Air District, the California Air Resources Board, the Monterey County Health Department, and the King City Union Elementary School District are cooperating in an extensive effort to find out the origins and extent, if any, of the airborne asbestos problem. We will use this web site to provide information to the community about this ongoing investigation. Phase I Activities: June 1, the California Air Resources Board, with assistance from this Air District and the Elementary School District, began an intensive study of the area in and around the three elementary schools in King City. Airborne samples were collected at those locations for the five-day period ending June 6. Soil samples were collected at the same monitoring locations. In addition, the Health Department has done extensive soil sampling throughout and even outside King City. Phase II Activities: Phase II of this special monitoring project commenced on June 20. Phase II, which ran through June 25, expanded the focus of study to the entire City. The air sampling sites included the three City parks, the County park, the Del Rey Elementary School field, the County Yard, and a commercial site on First Street. Future Activities A State-certified laboratory chosen by the California Air Resources Board is analyzing all samples taken. Due to the strict testing procedures that the laboratory must follow in analyzing for asbestos, we do not expect any asbestos results to be available until late in July. We will post the results of the sampling on this web site when they are available. We will also post any other developments in this project on this site. Contact If you have any additional questions about this special monitoring project, please contact the Air District at (831) 647-9411, and ask for Ed Kendig. MONTEREY BAY UNIFIED AIR POLLUTION CONTROL DISTRICT ACTION MINUTES June 20, 2001 Board Members Tony Gualtieri, Chair Edith Johnsen, Vice Chair Bob Cruz Jack Barlich Anna Caballero Lou Calcagno Judy Pennycook Tony Campos John Myers Keith Sugar Ellen Pirie City of Capitola County of Monterey County of San Benito City of Del Rey Oaks City of Salinas County of Monterey County of Monterey County of Santa Cruz City of King City of Santa Cruz County of Santa Cruz Alternates: Dave Potter, Monterey County Ron Rodrigues, San Benito County Steve Bloomer, Cities 5-1 ACTION MINUTES MONTEREY BAY UNIFIED AIR POLLLUTION CONTROL DISTRICT BOARD MEETING Location: 24580 Silver Cloud Court Monterey, California Telephone: (831) 647-9411 WEDNESDAY, JUNE 20, 2001 Agenda Item 1 - Call to Order THE MEETING WAS CALLED TO ORDER BY CHAIR GUALTIERI AT 1:30 P.M.
