Comment sought for new science on Libby asbestos toxicity
(Denver, Colorado – August 25, 2011) The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is providing the public with an opportunity to comment on draft toxicity values for a unique form of asbestos called Libby Amphibole asbestos.

National Park Service Director Jonathan B. Jarvis marked the agency’s birthday with the release of A Call to Action: Preparing for a Second Century of Stewardship and Engagement.
“On our 95th anniversary, we take the first step – make that the first leap – to prepare ourselves for our second century of stewardship,” Jarvis told employees during a national town hall meeting. “The critical work we have been doing since 1916 is as important as it ever was and must continue. A Call to Action is a rededication – to our traditional stewardship role but with an expanded and strategic focus that addresses our relevance in a changing world.”
A Call to Action lays out 36 action items that National Park Service employees, partners and friends will do to integrate National Park Service community programs with 395 national parks and the agency’s mission to preserve the country’s cultural, historic and natural resources for the enjoyment of this and future generations. |
