There are certain notifications required by federal and state law for an asbestos consultancy to complete asbestos removal work in the United States. Below we will review the most important regulations governing asbestos programs.
The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) Rule requires a minimum of ten (10) working day notifications prior to project inception. The project notification form should be completed by the Georgia licensed asbestos contractor’s agent. This agent is responsible for performing an inspection for the presence of RACM prior to the renovation/demolition activity.
The Georgia Environmental Protection Division (EPD) states the following regarding asbestos Emergencies:
“Abatement, renovation, and/or encapsulation projects that were unplanned, but result from a sudden, unexpected event that if not immediately attended to presents a safety or public health hazard, is necessary to protect equipment from damage, or is necessary to avoid imposing an unreasonable financial burden.
EPD no longer grants emergency waivers for the project notification period. If the project is not a NESHAP project, proceed with the project. If the project is a NESHAP project, contact EPA Region 4. A letter of explanation regarding the emergency situation from the Owner of the Project, or their representative, must accompany the notification.
Notification of the emergency situation should be submitted within 24 hours from the time of its occurrence, or from the time you are contacted with a request for emergency work to be performed.”
The following legal authorities are responsible for these regulations:
– Georgia Department of Natural Resources Rules for Air Quality Control, Revised June 1998, Chapter 391-3-1-.02(9)(b)7, which includes by reference, Emission Standard for Asbestos, including work practices.
– The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) National Emissions Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants; Asbestos NESHAP Revision; Final Rule. 40 CFR Part 61 Subpart M, as amended; published in the Federal Register, dated Tuesday, November 20, 1990.
– Georgia Department of Natural Resources Rules of Asbestos Removal and Encapsulation, Chapter 391-3-14.
– The U.S. EPA Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA). 40 CFR PART 763; published in the Federal Register; October 30, 1987.
