What are the environmental standards for demolishing something in whole or in part?
In general, the environmental standards are to first provide an accurate history of the building in order to determine what materials could be found in and around the structure. The next step is to assess whether there are any environmentally hazardous in and around the building. The next step would be to remove those hazardous materials before any other work is performed. And finally, during the formal demolition process, the demolition contractor must stop dust, particulates and other debris from spreading outside the construction zone.
