I will give TRV this much. They do still have some asbestos at the plant but it's not like they hide it or anything. They have a sign at the front gate to warn people who enter abouit it. All the people who work see the sign at the gate and they know the risk but they still go to work. If that don't tell you how bad things are and how bad people need this job I don't know what will. Right now as we speak they have part of the plant shut down and they are trying to clean up the remainder of the asbestos. They have a crew who go around all day with the suit and mask and stuff working on this problem. As far as how much asbestos they still have I honestly don't know.

Well, I will say this. AEP can certainly afford to keep a crew employed abating asbestos year round until they get it under control. Encapsulation, is a viable stop gap until such time as abatement is convenient.
