Bridge site cleaned up Cooma-Monaro Shire Council has safely removed 50 tonne of material which contained some pieces of bonded asbestos from the Clarke Street Bridge upgrade in Nimmitabel. A local resident raised the possibility of asbestos pieces being in the material at the end of June. Council immeditaely brought in a specialist hygeniest who located several small fragments of asbestos in the material. The material was classified as a low risk and council immeditely took action to isolate and cover the material until it was safe to remove. Under the guidance of both WorkCover and the Office of the
Environment and Heritage, council engaged a specialist hygenist to develop safe work method statements for the removal of the material from the site and safe disposal at the Cooma landfill. The landfill is a registered disposal site and has detailed measures in place for safe disposal of the material. On August 9 a specialist removal company from Canberra took the material from the site for disposal. A Clearance certificate for the site has been issued in accordance with the requirement of WorkCover and the Office of Enviroinment and Heritage.
