If a contractor puts water in the bottom of a bag, then strips the friable asbestos material dry and lets it fall into the water, is this a violation of the Asbestos NESHAP standards?
Yes. The regulation states that friable asbestos-containing material must be “adequately wet” during stripping operations. The material must remain wet until disposal. 4. Ordered Demolitions If a facility is being demolished under an order of a State or local government because the facility is structurally unsound, and therefore unsafe, do all the normal regulations covering demolitions apply? No. The regulations which do apply are specified in 61.145 (a)(3) of the regulation.
