Utah Admin. Code R307-801-9 - Asbestos Abatement, Renovation, and Demolition Projects: Requirement to Inspect
(1) Applicability.
Contractors are required to have an asbestos inspection performed by a Utah
certified asbestos inspector working for a Utah certified asbestos company. The
asbestos inspection report shall be on-site and available when regulated work
activities are being performed. Owners of residential structures including
condominium owners of four units or less, not otherwise subject to the Asbestos
NESHAP, are not required to perform asbestos inspections. Owners of a
condominium complex of more than four units are subject to R307-801, may also
be subject to the Asbestos NESHAP, but are required to perform asbestos
inspections.
(2) Except as
described in R307-801-9(1) and 9(3), the owner and operator shall ensure that
the regulated facility to be demolished, abated, or renovated is thoroughly
inspected for asbestos-containing material by an inspector certified under the
provisions of
R307-801-6.
An asbestos inspection report shall be generated according to the provisions of
R307-801-10
and completed prior to the start of the asbestos abatement, renovation, or
demolition project if materials required to be identified in
R307-801-10(3)
will be disturbed during that project. The operator shall make the asbestos
inspection report available on-site to all persons who have access to the site
for the duration of the renovation, abatement, or demolition project, and to
the director or authorized representative upon request.
(3) If the regulated facility has been
ordered to be demolished because it is found by a government official to be
structurally unsound and in danger of imminent collapse or a public health
hazard, the operator may demolish the regulated facility without having the
regulated facility inspected for asbestos. If no asbestos inspection is
conducted, the operator shall:
(a) Ensure
that all resulting demolition project debris is disposed of as
asbestos-containing waste material (ACWM) according to
R307-801-14;
or
(b) reduce the amount of ACWM
by segregating the ACWM from non-ACWM debris under the direction of an asbestos
inspector certified according to
R307-801-6
working for a company certified according to
R307-801-5
and clean and encapsulate non-porous debris as non-ACWM by asbestos abatement
supervisors or asbestos abatement workers who are certified according to
R307-801-6
and working for a company certified according to
R307-801-5.
(4) If an asbestos
inspection report older than three years will be used for a regulated asbestos
renovation, abatement, or demolition activity, the asbestos inspection report
shall be reviewed and updated, as necessary, by an inspector who is certified
according to
R307-801-6
and working for a company certified according to
R307-801-5.
The report does not need to be reviewed until a time that it will be used for
regulatory purposes such as an abatement, renovation, or demolition activity.
If the inspection report is still accurate, then the inspector shall provide
written documentation stating that the inspection report is still accurate. If
the inspection report is not accurate, then the inspector shall provide written
documentation, including new sample results, if necessary, such that the
inspection report meets all requirements of R307-801.
