PRE-DEMOLITION HAZARDOUS MATERIAL INSPECTIONS/ASSESSMENTS/AUDITS
Experienced Certified Industrial Hygienists,
Certified Hazardous Material Managers
and Professional Engineers
Rarely, if ever, does the renovation or demolition of a structure/facility involve the potential disturbance of only a single environmental contaminant. EPA NESHAP Regulation 40 CFR Part 61 mandates the identification and abatement of asbestos containing materials. EPA RCRA Regulations 40 CFR Part 260 mandate the identification, classification, management and disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous solid waste. However, many more environmental parameters can be present which must be characterized, tested, managed, disposed of (and/or re-use/recycled) to reduce the facility owner’s contingent liabilities. Selecting the right remediation and disposal option is essential prior to implementation of your renovation/demolition project.
