General Notes:

Survey Protocol. The asbestos survey and sample collection efforts utilized to identify and delineate the extent of asbestos-containing materials within the structures on these parcels meet existing Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) NESHAPs regulatory requirements. The corresponding bulk sampling of suspect materials complies with current OSHA (AHERA/ASHARA) requirements for the identification of asbestos-containing materials in buildings, (i.e., referenced AHERA protocol). Materials historically known to have used asbestos in their manufacture, such as, Transite panels, cement asbestos board and pipes, and black roof mastic were not sampled and are assumed to contain asbestos.

Definition of ACM. Current NESHAPs regulations define asbestos-containing materials (ACM) as those materials containing ≥ 1 percent asbestos. NESHAPs notification and disposal requirements, enforced in the State of Georgia by the Georgia EPD, are

“triggered” by materials containing ≥ 1 percent asbestos. Though existing OSHA regulations define ACM as those materials containing ≥ 1 percent asbestos, the regulations also apply to all materials identified to contain asbestos, no matter how minute the quantity, (i.e., < 1 percent).

Wallboard and Joint Compound. Existing EPA regulations address wallboard and joint compound as a composite system, and allow composite sampling to determine the asbestos content of the combined wall system. However, OSHA does not allow composite sampling of wallboard and joint compound; Rather, OSHA’s asbestos regulations require individual sampling of each wall system component. While existing NESHAPs regulatory requirements for notification and disposal do not apply for composite wallboard systems containing < 1 percent asbestos, OSHA’s Asbestos Construction Industry Standard (49CFR1926.1101) does apply. OSHA’s regulatory requirements include but are not limited to worker training; engineering controls and work practices, communication of hazards, and waste disposal do apply to wallboard systems with any identified asbestos content.

Limitations. Suspect materials previously concealed which are uncovered by the demolition efforts (such as Transite panels, cement asbestos flues, pipe insulation, etc.) should be assumed to contain asbestos or properly sampled by an AHERA-accredited Asbestos Inspector to verify otherwise. Provide, as necessary, appropriate notifications or amendments to prior GA EPD notification regarding the increase in asbestos-containing material.
