DPW Update – Kent Memorial Library

By |

In mid-February, National Library Relocations, Inc., completed the task of cleaning and packaging approximately 30,000 books, DVDs and audio books to be held in storage until the Kent Memorial Library completes the polychlorinated biphenyl (PBC) abatement process. An additional 40,000 books (either outdated or in poor condition) were discarded. Wood panels and shelving assemblies have been temporarily removed in order to allow for the encapsulation procedure. The panels and shelving will be reinstalled upon completion. On March 6, 2018, EnviroScience, the Town’s civil and environmental engineering consulting firm, submitted the modified remediation plan to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for their review and approval.
