Questions

Asbestos NESHAP Demolition Notification: what people ask

Do I need to file if there's no asbestos?

For a demolition, yes. The notification requirements still apply when the regulated asbestos is below the thresholds or there is none. A renovation needs notice only when the asbestos to be disturbed meets the thresholds.

What amounts trigger the full rules?

At least 260 linear feet on pipes, 160 square feet on other facility components, or 35 cubic feet off facility components where the length or area couldn't be measured. Below those, EPA's rule doesn't require the removal work practices.

Who inspects the building?

The owner or operator must have the affected part of the building thoroughly inspected for asbestos before demolition or renovation starts. That inspection is fieldwork by an inspector; ePlan can't do it, but drafts the notice from the survey results.
