Revised on October 31, 2004

In response to requests, we will again have a demonstration of clean-up techniques by Greentree Environmental Services in Conference Room 5.  You will get to see how a room with lead-dust hazards (lead only simulated) is cleaned from beginning to end including the clearance examination.  You can stop in and see the demonstration during the breaks to see how the work is proceeding.
