An oil burner technician, licensed by the Oil and Solid Fuel Board, under Title 32, Chapter 33, can remove asbestos to install, repair, or remove heating equipment. However, they must follow all DEP regulations for the removal. This means that they must notify the Maine DEP of the removal. If there is no notification when more than 3 linear feet of pipe covering or 3 square feet of boiler material is taken from your property, you should call the DEP. In addition, anyone who transports asbestos must possess a permit from the Maine Department of Transportation.
