SAN DIEGO COUNTY AIR POLLUTION CONTROL DISTRICT

RULE 361.145 - STANDARD FOR DEMOLITION AND RENOVATION

(a) APPLICABILITY

Except as provided in Section (b) below, this rule applies to demolition and renovation operations involving the presence of regulated asbestos-containing material (RACM).

(b) EXEMPTIONS

(2) Emergency demolition operations, that are subject to an order of the federal, state or local government agency that describes the facility as structurally unsound and in danger of imminent collapse, are exempt from the notification requirements of Subsections (c)(1) and (c)(2) and the work practice procedures of Subsections (d)(1) through (d)(3).

(4) Owners or operators of demolition and renovation operations are exempt from the requirements of Rules 361.05(a), 361.07, and 361.09 of NESHAPS Subpart A-General Provisions.

(c) NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS

(1) Except as provided in Section (b) above, each owner or operator of a demolition or renovation activity to which this rule applies shall provide, using a form similar to that shown in Figure 3, notification as follows:

(ii) Postmark or deliver the notice at least ten working days before asbestos stripping or removal work or any other activity begins (such as site preparation that would break up, dislodge or similarly disturb asbestos material).

(iii) Provide the Control Officer with a new notice whenever there is a change in the starting date for stripping or removal work or whenever the amount of asbestos affected changes by at least 20 percent. If the asbestos stripping or removal or demolition will begin after the original start date, notify the Control Officer of the new start date by telephone as soon as possible before the original start date, and provide the Control Officer with a new written notice of the new start date as soon as possible, but no later than, the original start date. If stripping or removal or demolition will begin earlier than the original start date, provide the Control Officer with a written notice at least 10 working days before the stripping or removal or demolition will begin. The associated fees required by District Rule 40 shall accompany the new notice.

(v) For an emergency renovation or emergency demolition operation, the owner or operator shall postmark or deliver the information required in Subsections (c)(1)(i) and (c)(2) (except (c)(2)(viii) for emergency demolitions), in writing, to the DistrictÕs Compliance Division as soon as possible before, but not later than, the following working day. Associated fees required by District Rule 40 shall be submitted with the information required by this section.

(2) The written notifications required in this section shall be submitted with the associated fees required by District Rule 40. Except as provided above, the following shall be included in the written notifications required by this section:

(ii) Name, address, and telephone number of both the facility owner and operator and the asbestos removal contractor owner or operator.

(d) PROCEDURES FOR ASBESTOS EMISSION CONTROL

Each owner or operator of a demolition or renovation activity to which this rule applies, shall:

(1) Remove all RACM from the facility being demolished or renovated before any activity begins that would break up, dislodge, or similarly disturb the material or preclude access to the material for subsequent removal. RACM need not be removed before demolition if:

(ii) The RACM is on a facility component that is encased in concrete or other similarly hard material and is adequately wet whenever exposed during demolition, or

(iii) The RACM was not accessible for testing and was, therefore, not discovered until after demolition began and, as a result of the demolition, the material cannot be safely removed. If not removed for safety reasons, the exposed RACM and any asbestos-contaminated debris must be treated as asbestos-containing waste material and adequately wet at all times until disposed of, or

(iv) The RACM is Category II nonfriable Asbestos-Containing Material and the probability is low that the materials will become crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder during demolition.

(2) When a facility component that contains, is covered with, or is coated with RACM is being taken out of the facility as a unit or in sections:

(ii) Carefully lower each unit or section to the floor and to ground level, not dropping, throwing, sliding, or otherwise damaging or disturbing the RACM.

(3) When RACM is stripped from a facility component while it remains in place in the facility, adequately wet the RACM during the stripping operation.

(i) In renovation operations, wetting is not required if:

(B) The owner or operator uses the following emission control methods:

(2) A glove-bag system designed and operated to contain the particulate asbestos material produced by the stripping of the asbestos materials.

(3) Leak-tight wrapping to contain all RACM prior to dismantlement.

(4) After a facility component covered with, coated with, or containing RACM has been taken out of the facility as a unit or in sections pursuant to Subsection (d)(2) of this rule, it shall be stripped or contained in leak-tight wrapping, except as described in Subsection (d)(5) of this rule. If stripped, the owner or operator shall either:

(ii) Use a local exhaust ventilation and collection system designed and operated to capture the particulate asbestos material produced by the stripping. The system must exhibit no visible emissions to the outside air or be designed and operated in accordance with the requirements in Rule 361.152.

(5) For large facility components such as reactor vessels, large tanks, and steam generators, but not beams (which must be handled in accordance with Subsections (d)(2), (3), and (4) of this rule), the RACM is not required to be stripped if all of the following requirements are met:

(ii) The component is encased in a leak-tight wrapping.

(iii) The leak-tight wrapping is labeled according to Rule 361.149(d)(1)(i), (ii), and (iii) during loading and unloading operations and during storage.

(6) For all RACM, including material that has been removed or stripped, the owner or operator shall:

(i) Adequately wet the material and ensure that it remains wet until collected and contained or treated in preparation for disposal in accordance with Rule 361.150 (the RACM contained in leak-tight wrapping that has been removed in accordance with Subsections (d)(4) and (d)(3)(i)(B)(3) of this rule need not be wetted), and

(ii) Carefully lower the material to the ground and floor, not dropping, throwing, sliding, or otherwise damaging or disturbing the material; or if the RACM has been removed or stripped more than 50 feet above ground level and was not removed as units or in sections, transport the material to the ground via leak-tight chutes or containers.

(7) When the temperature at the point of wetting is below 0 ¡C (32¡F):

(ii) The owner or operator shall remove facility components containing, coated with, or covered with RACM as units or in sections to the maximum extent possible.

(iii) During periods when wetting operations are suspended due to freezing temperatures, the owner or operator must record the temperature in the area containing the facility components at the beginning, middle, and end of each workday and keep daily temperature records available for inspection by the Control Officer during normal business hours at the demolition or renovation site. The owner or operator shall retain the temperature records for at least two years.

(ii) Notification requirements,

(iii) Material identification techniques,

(iv) Control procedures for removals including, at least, wetting, local exhaust ventilation, negative pressure enclosures, glove-bag procedures, and High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters,

(v) Waste disposal work practices,

(vi) Reporting and recordkeeping, and

(vii) Asbestos hazards and worker protection.

Evidence that the required training has been completed shall be posted and made available for inspection by the Control Officer at the demolition or renovation site. (9) For emergency demolitions, adequately wet the portion of the facility that contains RACM during the wrecking operation.

(10) If a facility is demolished by intentional burning, all RACM including Category I and Category II nonfriable Asbestos-Containing Material must be removed in accordance with this subpart before burning.
