Asbestos Program

The asbestos program investigates complaints, cooperates with state and local agencies for asbestos project notification, and inspects demolition and renovation projects to ensure the proper removal and disposal of asbestos-containing materials in compliance with the Asbestos National Emissions Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP).

Renovation and demolition projects require a written asbestos survey by a state-licensed asbestos consultant before disturbing any existing building materials. All non-residential demolition projects and many renovation projects require the advance submission of an asbestos notification
