Compliance Advisory - Asbestos Survey Requirements for Remediation Clean Up from Recent Flooding

The purpose of the Asbestos Program is to protect the public from uncontrolled emissions of asbestos through enforcement of the Federal Asbestos Standard and Air District Rule 424.  The Program covers most renovations and demolition projects in the North Central Coast air basin.  Elements of the Program include Survey and Notification Requirements prior to beginning a project, as well as Work Practice Standards and Disposal Requirements.  The Program operates on a "Cradle to Grave" basis through the regulation of all aspects related to the handling of asbestos materials from discovery and removal, through transportation and disposal.
