DES Update on Aurora Hills Roof Replacement

Published: November 23, 2010

UPDATE: As of Dec. 5, all the non-friable asbestos has been removed from the roof and the roof replacement is proceeding as scheduled.


A Message from Arlington County Department of Environmental Services

Aurora Hills Center Roof Replacement

The Arlington County Department of Environmental Services (DES) will be replacing the roof of the Aurora Hills Center, which includes the Aurora Hills Branch Library, a Department of Parks, Recreation & Cultural Resources community center, and the Fire Department’s former Station 5 (now used for storage). Some materials on the existing roof contain a small amount of non-friable asbestos fibers, which is often found in sealants and roofing materials in older buildings. DES has contracted with an asbestos inspection and abatement firm to test and remove the material prior to beginning the roof replacement.

Beginning Sunday, November 28th, the contractor will begin the process of removing the asbestos containing roof material. This work is expected to last approximately one week. Here is what you need to know:

  • The asbestos removal portion of the project will pose NO risk to patrons or people passing by the building.
  • The asbestos on the building is non-friable, which means it is encased in a sealant and not airborne.
  • The removal and disposal of this material will be handled by licensed, trained professionals.
  • The asbestos removal plan developed by DES staff meets all local, state and federal environmental and safety regulations.
  • Per federal EPA regulations, workers will wear appropriate personal protective equipment when handling the asbestos containing material.

Once the asbestos removal and disposal are completed, DES will start the reroofing process.

If you have questions or concerns about this project, please contact the DES Project Manager, Jacob M. Fayad, at (703) 228-4829 or jfayad@arlingtonva.us.
