Background III: Asbestos Project Plan & Congress
Learn about Congress and the EPA's Asbestos Project Plan.
The attorneys at the personal injury law firm of Weitz & Luxenberg have decades of experience defending victims’ rights in practice areas that include: accidents/general injury, dangerous drugs, medical malpractice, and environmental pollutants.
NEWS UPDATE:
Project Plan Background: ASHAA, passed by Congress in 1984, established a loan and grant program to assist schools in abating asbestos hazards in their buildings.
In 1990, Congress reauthorized the ASHAA loan and grant program, directed EPA to increase the number of training hours required for abatement worker accreditation under the MAP, and extended the accreditation requirements to cover asbestos abatement projects in all public and commercial buildings and schools.
Funding for the loan and grant program ended in 1995.
