ASBESTOS/DEMOLITION RULE 1403 GENERAL INFORMATION

SURVEY REQUIREMENT: Asbestos surveys are required prior to all renovation and demolition.  Asbestos must be removed prior to renovation activities that may disturb the asbestos containing materials.  All asbestos must be removed prior to building demolition.

NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS: Postmark notifications 14 calendar days prior to starting any asbestos removal of 100 ft2 or greater or any demolition.  Notifications shall be filled, signed, paid, submitted and mailed by the contractor performing the removal and/or demolition job.  Notifications without signature(s) will be returned.  Renovations without asbestos do not require notification.  Los Angeles City and Palm Springs Fire Departments, and CALOSHA require a separate Notification.

FEE REQUIREMENT: Rule 301 (s) requires all notifications to be submitted with appropriate fees.  Fees are per notification and are not refundable.  Notifications submitted without appropriate fees will be returned, deemed incomplete, and referred to the compliance unit for follow-up.  Projects conducted without a valid notification are subject to local and federal enforcement.  Cancellation of notifications and removal projects less than 100 square feet are exempt from fees - other requirements may apply.

MAILING REQUIREMENT: Mail the notification and fee to:

SCAQMD, ASBESTOS NOTIFICATIONS
FILE # 55641
 LOS ANGELES, CA 90074-5641

Mailing saves time, money and reduces traffic and air pollution.

EMERGENCY NOTIFICATIONS: Fax emergencies to 909-396-3342.  Emergencies are for immediate asbestos removals due to unsafe conditions, breakdowns, flood, earthquake, fire, and site contamination; and require a formal letter from the person confirming or agency authorizing the emergency.  For Ordered Demolitions fax a copy of the legal notice or Building and Safety “red tag”.  For emergency site contamination to clean-up disturbed asbestos fax a Procedure 5 for prior written approval.  See Procedure 4/5/Plans.

FAX NOTIFICATIONS.  Fax notifications are required for Revisions, Emergencies, Ordered Demolitions, Electronic Notifications, and Cancellations.  Fax notifications to 909-396-3342 and within 48 hours of fax-time, postmark/mail the Original Notification with the fee to SCAQMD, ASBESTOS NOTIFICATIONS, FILE # 55641, LOS ANGELES, CA 90074-5641.  Fax notifications are not instead of the Original signed notification required by local and federal law.  For Emergencies include the letter authorizing the Emergency.  For Ordered Demolitions include proof of asbestos survey, removal and disposal.  For Ordered demolitions without prior asbestos removal submit a Procedure 5 Plan for prior written AQMD approval.  Cancellations do not require mail follow-up.

DEMOLITIONS require 4 PRIOR steps:   

  1. Asbestos Survey,   

  2. Asbestos Removal,   

  3. AQMD Notification,   

  4. B&S permit.  ALL demolitions require a notification by the contractor doing the demolition.  Demolitions without prior asbestos removal require prior written approval from AQMD (See Procedure 5 Plan).  Demolition is defined as the wrecking or taking out of a load-supporting structural member of a facility or the intentional burning of a structure.  Dismantling of partitions and installation of windows and doors through load-supporting walls without asbestos is exempt from notification. 

DEMOLITION BY INTENTIONAL BURNING require 4 prior steps above plus 2 more steps:     

  1. Rule 444 “training burn notification” to SCAQMD at 800-442-4847 the day prior to burning, and;

  2. Conduct the training burn on a burn day.  Fire departments are responsible for obtaining an asbestos clearance, copies of the demolition notification, phoning AQMD the Rule 444 notification the day prior to the training burn, and coordinating with the demolition contractor to clean the site right after the training burn is completed.

RENOVATION is the removal, stripping, or altering of asbestos containing materials, and/or any activity involving the associated disturbance of asbestos in a facility.  Renovations require an asbestos survey and removal prior to any activity that would disturb the asbestos.  Building remodeling or renovations without asbestos do not require notification.  See survey requirement.

PLANNED RENOVATION NOTIFICATIONS (PRN): There are two types of PRN, The first type is to notify for Nonscheduled Asbestos Removals (AKA annual notifications).  Nonscheduled Asbestos Removals are expected to occur based on past experience, but no exact date can be predicted for them.  These notifications account for the cumulative asbestos amount removed from a facility during a calendar year in aggregated increments of less than 100 square feet each due to equipment breakdown or maintenance requirement.  These notifications must be postmarked by December 17th, each year.  Individual Removals of 100 ft2 or more require separate notification.

The second type is to notify for a series of Scheduled Asbestos Removals within a large facility, where each removal is greater than 100 square feet.  These notifications require an attachment listing each individual project planned within the facility detailing the work locations/areas/buildings involved including its sizes, floors, ages and uses, the amounts and types of asbestos at each location/area/building, project scheduled dates, and asbestos types and amounts.  Any project schedule change requires a Revision.

PROCEDURE 4/5 PLANS: These plans require prior approval by AQMD.  To obtain approval fax the plan and notification to 909-393-3342 attention Asbestos Supervisor.  For after hours fax and leave a message at 1-800-CUTSMOG for the asbestos supervisor.  Within 48 hrs of Plan approval, postmark the hard copies of the plan, notification, and fees.  Procedure 4 Plans are for dry removals.  Procedure 5 plans are required for asbestos disturbances, site clean-ups, decontaminations, excavations, and demolitions with asbestos.

KEEP A COPY OF YOUR NOTIFICATION.  State law requires you give a copy of the demolition notification to Building and Safety before issuance of a demolition permit.  This law does not require proof of receival or approval by AQMD.  For your convenience, please mail the notification.  Mailing saves you time, money, gasoline, and reduces traffic, energy use, and air pollution.
