Thomas Paschke Page 2 May 4, 2020 Please note that demolition activities must comply with state and federal regulations that require inspection of the structure for hazardous materials such as asbestos, lead based paint, light ballasts, thermostats, stored chemicals, ozone depleting chemicals, etc. All regulated facilities must have a thorough asbestos inspection conducted by a Minnesota Department of Health certified asbestos inspector for the presence of asbestos containing material (ACM). Asbestos containing material is either friable or non-friable. All friable or ACM that will become friable during demolition, is considered regulated asbestos-containing materials (RACM). RACM must be abated prior to demolition activities. If abatement of 160 square feet, 260 linear feet, or 35 cubic feet of RACM is required, a licensed abatement contractor must be hired. For all demolitions, a “Notification of Intent to Perform a Demolition” must be submitted to the MPCA 10 working days prior to the start of demolition. Any lead based paint chips present on the ground following demolition must be removed and properly disposed of off-site at the appropriate disposal facility. A fact sheet regarding lead paint disposal is available on the MPCA website at: https://www.pca.state.mn.us/sites/default/files/w-hw4-23.pdf. The Project proposer should also consider recycling as much of the building materials as possible to reduce the volume of material disposed of in the landfill. If you have any questions regarding demolition issues or asbestos and lead paint abatement, please contact Colin Boysen at 507-206-2644 or Colin.Boysen@state.mn.us.
