Asbestos and the NESHAP process

The current National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) process of demolishing a publicly-owned, asbestos-filled structure is done in four steps:

• Bring in a crew to remove specific, but not all, asbestos materials from the house,
• Dispose of the removed asbestos at a landfill approved to receive asbestos waste,
• Demolish the building, and Dispose of the building material in a landfill that accepts construction debris.
