Multiple buildings being demolished as a result of the hurricanes in accordance with a government order are considered an “installation” as defined in the asbestos LESHAP.
Installation - any building or structure or any group of buildings or structures at a single demolition or renovation site that are under the control of the same owner or operator (or owner or operator under common control).

No asbestos inspections are required.
1. Since no inspections are conducted, construction & demolition debris is assumed to contain Regulated Asbestos-Containing Material (ACWM).
2. All LESHAP regulations apply:Licensing, Accreditation, Notification (AAC-2), wetting during demolition, bagging, labeling, use of manifests or Asbestos Disposal Verification Forms, (ADVFs), and wetting during transportation, and disposal.
3. Disposal in a solid waste/asbestos approved Type 1 (Industrial) or 2 (Municipal & Commercial) Landfill is required.

Recommendations for Demolition of Residential Structures Containing Asbestos-Containing Waste Material (ACWM)
1. Each structure should be knocked down in a controlled manner to minimize excess breakage of asbestos containing material. Debris should be wetted/misted during demolition, interim staging, and loading activities.
2. Load C&D debris into polyethylene lined dumpsters that are leaktight.
3. Label, and transport to the appropriate landfill with ADVF.
4. Category I asbestos containing material (vinyl tile, mastic, etc.) need not be removed and segregated from the C&D debris if it does not have a high probability of becoming friable. If this material does not become friable by the forces expected to act on the material in the course of demolition, it may be disposed at an approved C&D landfill.

3. If a thorough inspection is performed, and regulated ACM or non-regulated ACM is found and removed, the ACWM must be disposed in an approved Type 1 or 2 landfill. The non-regulated ACM may be disposed in a designated area of an approved C&D landfill, and the remaining C&D debris may be disposed in an approved C&D debris landfill.
4. If a thorough inspection is not performed, the C&D debris is assumed to be regulated, and the ACWM must be disposed in an approved Type 1 or 2 Landfill.
