No. Poor planning or an inadequate inspection does not allow you to circumvent the advance notice requirements. Material that is in good condition and does not present a health hazard cannot be removed as an emergency. If asbestos-containing material is damaged during a demolition or renovation project or there are other circumstances, contact MDH to see if it meets the requirements of an emergency project.
