' ; <br /> Q��I S/9� <br /> This document offers guidance on environmental concerns that need to be addressed prior to the <br /> demolition of a building. The environmental concerns include: asbestos, hazardous wastes, special <br /> hazardous wastes, underground storage tanks,wells, refrigerants/CFCs/HCFCs, fire extinguishers, <br /> and other concerns. This document also includes guidance on what kinds of waste can and cannot <br /> be accepted at a demolition landfill. <br /> _ __ _ __ _ __ <br /> ; , , ,,; <br /> , <br /> < ,: A�BF�.S1 t3�S ` <br /> Asbestos-Containing Material (ACM} is a special consideration in the demolition of old buildings. <br /> Through the 1970s asbestos was used in over 3000 different building materials. Some of the more <br /> common materials are: <br /> ♦ pipe, duct, and boiler insulation (includes many different types of ACI� <br /> ♦ ceiling tiles, textured spray, fireproofing, scratch coats or other treated areas <br /> ♦ cement asbestos board: also l:nown as Transite0, this material was used estensively as siding on <br /> homes, ceilings and walls in commercial buildings, and any area where heat or moisture is <br /> present. <br /> ♦ vinyl asbestos floor tile, old linoleum, and other resilient floor coverings <br /> ACM can be found almost anywhere and a thorough inspection for AC�1 must be performed prior <br /> to any demolition. The MPCA Air Quality Division Asbestos Team maintains a list of companies <br /> that can perform this service for}�ou. You can reach the Asbestos Team at the phone number <br /> below. -- <br /> In a demolition a notification form must be filled out and sent to the MPCA Asbestos Team ten <br /> �vorking days before any demolition is started whether the building contains ACM or not. If you <br /> don't have this form, contact the Asbestos Team. The Notification form for a demolition contains <br /> specific information on the dates of demolition and on the different types of ACM and conditions <br /> for how the ACM needs to be handled if ACM is present. <br /> If any of the demolition materials are to be recycled it is necessary to remove any ACI�I that may be <br /> present. The recycling process could result in previously resilient AC�I becomina crushed, <br /> crumbled, or reduced to a potivder. If the ACI�I is not removed prior to demolition then the <br /> building materials containing, mired in with, or coated �vith AC1�1 may not be used for recycle. <br /> 1 <br /> il <br />
