Submit Asbestos Notification Form ANF-001 to MassDEP

A notification must be submitted to MassDEP on Asbestos Notification Form ANF-001 at least 10 working days prior to the commencement of asbestos cement shingle removal.

It is a violation of MassDEP’s regulations to remove any asbestos cement shingles prior to the end of the 10 working day waiting period, unless an emergency waiver is obtained from MassDEP.

The Asbestos Notification Form is available on MassDEP’s Web site. The easiest way to file an asbestos notification is to file it online via MassDEP’s Web site. You can visit MassDEP’s Web site, or call (617) 574-6888 for additional information about online filing.

A notification fee is required when filing an ANF-001. However, owner-occupied residential properties with four or fewer units, cities, towns, counties, districts of the Commonwealth, municipal housing authorities and other state agencies do not have to pay asbestos notification fees.
