The Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization (ADAO) is excited to once again be working with community leaders to make the 2016 Annual Global Asbestos Awareness Week (GAAW) from April 1-7 impactful and successful.

Lincoln County will assume responsibility January 1st for the Environmental Resource Specialists (ERS) program that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), initiated in 2006 to support local property owners with management of Libby amphibole asbestos before and after removal activities. These services will be provided in addition to others that the county took over last year when it launched the Asbestos Resource Program (ARP).
