.0' ATC recommends that all of the ACMs identified in the tables above be maintained under a written Operations and Maintenance (O&M) program, by suitably trained personnel, until renovation necessitates removal or until the building is demolished. Subcontractors and employees working within the structures at the site should be made aware of the locations of the ACMs and the possibility of concealed suspect ACMs that could be found during renovation/demolition activities. They should be advised not to disturb the ACMs or PACMs. Any concealed building materials discovered during maintenance or renovation activities, which are suspected to contain asbestos, should be sampled and analyzed to confirm the presence or absence of asbestos prior to disturbing. The EPA has not prohibited the manufacture and import of asbestos-containing miscellaneous materials, such as vinyl floorings, mastics, roofing materials, etc. As a result, any future replacement materials should be checked for the presence of asbestos prior to installation. The friable regulated ACMs (RACMs) and the Category II Non-friable materials (such as sealants, caulks etc.) that have a propensity to become friable during renovation/demolition, identified in the tables above are recommended for removal by ROSH (aka CalOSHA)-licensed personnel in accordance with applicable regulations, prior to building demolition. Any Person intending to either abate asbestos-containing materials in any amount greater than the trigger levels, or demolish a facility shall, on a form supplied by ROSH, provide a written notice of the intent to conduct asbestos abatement or demolition. No person shall commence an abatement project in which the amount of friable asbestos-containing material exceeds the trigger level in an area of public access without first obtaining a permit from ROSH. Permit fees will be required for asbestos abatement projects. 16
