The City-County Board of Health for Lincoln County Montana Wants Your Opinion
 
 
 
The Board of Health is planning ahead for the period after EPA finishes its work in the Libby and Troy areas. With input from this initial survey, the Board is considering what actions it should take to help local citizens respond to residual asbestos that may remain in our community during and after EPA’s cleanup. Please take a moment to help us understand your opinion about the risks and issues around Libby Amphibole Asbestos in and around Libby and Troy.

Adequate information has been provided about the risks of asbestos exposure to the community.
The residential removals (interior and exterior) are reducing the risk of asbestos exposure in the community.
More should be done to reduce the risk of asbestos exposure in the community.
The Local Board of Health should take an active role in addressing asbestos exposure in the community.
The Local Board of Health should develop local health regulations, such as excavation permits or required training courses for licensed professionals, as an effective way to reduce risk of asbestos exposure in the community.
The Local Board of Health should provide education/information programs as an effective aid to reduce the risk of asbestos exposure in the community.
Relying on voluntary compliance with local health regulations designed to reduce the risk of asbestos in the community will work better than relying on fines and other penalties to enforce those regulations.
I am concerned about the economic impacts to our community due to public perceptions about the asbestos cleanup.
