The Asbestos Removal Program
Asbestos is well recognized as a health hazard and is highly
regulated. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and
the United States Occupational Safety Health Administration (OSHA)
asbestos regulations are intertwined in this area.
The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) administers an
asbestos removal program under Chapter 62-257, Florida Administrative Code.
The program's intent is
to prevent the release of asbestos fibers to the outside air during
demolition or renovation activities.
The program requires prior
notification to the DEP on the
removal of threshold amounts of asbestos from certain types of
facilities.
Often, questions arise concerning compliance with the asbestos
regulations in Florida. The
Asbestos Letters, Determinations and Clarifications web page provides information
to assist in answering these compliance questions. The Asbestos
Letters, Determinations and Clarifications page contains memoranda
issued by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection or its
agents and the US Environmental Protection Agency on applicability
and compliance issues associated with the Asbestos National
Emissions Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutant (NESHAP, 40 CFR Part
61, Subpart M).
