Are there any federal or state requirements for asbestos removal?
Yes. The Kentucky Division for Air Quality regulates asbestos removal projects and demolition and renovation projects that could involve asbestos. The regulations apply to asbestos professionals and owners of all kinds of buildings except homeowners and owners of apartment buildings of four or fewer units. However, other agencies such as Kentucky Occupational Safety and Health (worker safety) and Kentucky Division of Waste Management (proper disposal) also regulate asbestos activity.
