  (1) Demolition Projects.

  (a) The operator shall submit a properly completed demolition notification form at least ten working days before the start of a demolition project along with payment of the appropriate fee. The operator cannot start the demolition project until all regulated asbestos-containing material (RACM) has been properly removed.

  (b) If any regulated facility is to be demolished by intentional burning, the operator, in addition to the demolition notification form specified in R307-801-11(1)(a), shall ensure that all ACM, including Category I non-friable asbestos-containing material (ACM), Category II non-friable ACM, and RACM is removed from the regulated facility before burning.

  (c) If the regulated facility has been ordered to be demolished by a government official because it is found to be structurally unsound and in danger of imminent collapse or a public health hazard, the operator shall submit a demolition project notification form, with a copy of the order signed by the appropriate government official, as soon as possible before, but no later than, the next working day after the demolition project begins.

  (2) Asbestos Abatement and Renovation Projects.

  (a) If the amount of RACM that would be disturbed or rendered inaccessible by the asbestos abatement or renovation project is the SSSD amount, then no additional requirements are necessary prior to general building remodeling activities.

  (b) If the amount of RACM that would be disturbed or rendered inaccessible by the asbestos abatement or renovation project is greater than the SSSD amount, but less than the NESHAP amount, then the operator shall:

  (i) Submit an asbestos abatement project notification form at least one working day before asbestos removal begins as described in R307-801-12, unless the removal was properly included in an annual asbestos notification form submitted pursuant to R307-801-11(2)(e);

  (ii) Remove RACM according to asbestos work practices of R307-801-13, the certification requirements of R307-801-5 and 6, and the disposal requirements of R307-801-14 before performing general building remodeling activities.

  (c) If the amount of RACM that would be disturbed or rendered inaccessible by the asbestos abatement project is greater than or equal to the NESHAP amount, then the operator shall:

  (i) Submit an asbestos abatement project notification form along with payment of the appropriate fee at least ten working days before asbestos removal begins as described in R307-801-12;

  (ii) Remove RACM according to the asbestos work practices of R307-801-13, the certification requirements of R307-801-5 and 6, and the disposal requirements of R307-801-14 before performing general building remodeling activities.

  (d) If the asbestos abatement or renovation project is an emergency asbestos abatement or renovation project, then the notification form shall be submitted as soon as possible before, but no later than, the next working day after the emergency asbestos abatement or renovation project begins.

  (e) The operator shall submit an annual asbestos notification form along with payment of the appropriate fee according to the requirements of 40 CFR 61.145(a)(4)(iii) no later than ten working days before the first day of January of the year during which the work is to be performed in the following circumstances:

  (i) The asbestos abatement projects are unplanned operation and maintenance activities;

  (ii) The asbestos abatement projects are less than NESHAP-sized; and

  (iii) The total amount of asbestos to be disturbed in a single NESHAP facility during these asbestos abatement projects is expected to exceed the NESHAP amount in a calendar year.

  (3) Owners and operators of general building remodeling activities are not required to submit an asbestos abatement project or renovation notification form to the director that do not disturb suspect asbestos containing materials, do not disturb building materials found to contain RACM by an inspector who is certified according to R307-801-6, or do not disturb materials that will become RACM as part of the general building remodeling activities.

  (4) For notification purposes, asbestos abatement, renovation, or demolition projects shall be no longer than one year in duration.

  (5) Revise the notification form, as necessary, when any information on the original notification or any subsequent notification forms changes.
