Hazard Overview

Asbestos fibers and lead dust pose serious health risks. Abatement must follow strict federal/state rules with licensed contractors.

Asbestos: friable/non-friable ACM, double-bagged, labeled, wetted; disposed at approved landfills
Lead: paint chips, HEPA bags, protective sheeting; manage as hazardous where applicable

EPA NESHAP (asbestos), OSHA worker protection, RRP (lead in pre-1978 housing), state permits, transporter/landfill approvals.

Notifications, chain-of-custody, manifests, landfill receipts, air clearance reports.

Highly variable based on scope and materials; dedicated disposal sites may be further from project areas—plan transport accordingly.
