Asbestos NESHAP State Notification Procedures Change

The Environmental Protection Agency, Region I Office, Boston, MA, has notified in writing the EPA--New England states of Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Connecticut that effective October 1, 1997, all owners or operators of a demolition or renovation activity subject to the asbestos NESHAP and who provide written notification to the states 10-working days in advance of commencing with the renovation or demolition activity, will not have to provide similar notification to the EPA Administrator as required pursuant to 40 CFR 61.145(b). Important exceptions to the Federal and state notification procedures change are discussed below. In brief, such exceptions require regulated entities to continue to submit asbestos NESHAP notifications to the EPA for all demolitions involving asbestos below each respective State's regulatory threshold amount, including all demolitions believed to involve no asbestos.
