Asbestos, AACM and NESHAP

As described in the initial project description, the alternative asbestos control method removes the most friable asbestos-containing materials before demolition, but leaves some asbestos containing materials (primarily wall systems) in place. The most friable asbestos-containing materials are removed by the AACM following the requirements of the Asbestos NESHAP and are disposed of properly as asbestos-containing wastes.

The demonstration will include extensive environmental monitoring and will allow for on-site enforcement officials from the State and from EPA to stop work if conditions so merit.
