My business will be doing some renovation or will be demolishing a building. What requirements are there?

Because many older building in the Tri-Cities originally contained some form of asbestos or asbestos containing materials, renovation and demolition projects are required to file with the BCAA. The same form used for notification of asbestos removal (PDF or DOC) is used for to notify the BCAA about renovation and demolition projects. There is, however, no fee for filing the notification. The only requirement is that a "good faith survey" for asbestos be done.

The good faith survey is an assurance by the business that there is little or no asbestos present in the building prior to renovation or demolistion. This is prevent an accidental release of asbestos fibers into the air, which could affect public health. Failure to notify the BCAA of a renovation or demolition project could result in enforcement action. If you have any questions about the requirements, please contact the Inspector, .
