For ALL Renovation Projects: • Structures/components to be disturbed must be Inspected for Asbestos. • Buildings of any age may contain asbestos, even those newly built may have asbestos containing materials. • Asbestos containing materials that are regulated or may become regulated must be removed by a certified asbestos abatement contractor before they are disturbed by renovation activities. • A written notification to Utah DAQ, payment of a notification fee and 10 working day waiting period may be required before the removal of large amounts of regulated asbestos-containing materials. • Regulated asbestos-containing waste material must be disposed of at an approved asbestos waste disposal site.
