Asbestos Survey of South Carolina Shows Much Demolition Needed

In 2000, a Miami University of Ohio/University of South Carolina survey found that within 35 US cities there was a collective total of more than 91,000 abandoned buildings in need of demolition. According to one EPA asbestos expert's estimate, as many as 80 percent of these structures would contain RACM.

The Office of Inspector General (OIG) initiated this evaluation because of the national policy implications of this precedent-setting demonstration project, and because the project involves a new approach to demolishing buildings containing regulated quantities of asbestos.
