Section 56-3.5 - Emergency asbestos project notification

(a) Initial notification. Prior to the commencement of an asbestos project that is necessary to respond to an emergency, or to cleanup an incidental disturbance, the asbestos abatement contractor shall contact the Asbestos Control Bureau via telephone or in person to request permission to proceed with the asbestos project. The individual giving such notification may be asked to provide some or all of the information required of an individual giving full written notification of an asbestos project.

(b) Emergency approval. The program manager, Asbestos Control Bureau, or other duly authorized representative of the commissioner, upon ascertaining all pertinent facts relating to the request, shall be empowered to either approve or deny the request for permission to proceed with an emergency or incidental disturbance asbestos project without the filing of prior notification. Unless permission to proceed with the asbestos project, using approved variance conditions, is granted pursuant to section 56-11.2 (Emergency projects of this Part), all work shall be performed in accordance with all applicable provisions of this Part.

(c) Follow-up notification. If permission to proceed with an emergency asbestos project is granted, the asbestos abatement contractor to whom such permission is granted, shall, within three business days, file the written notification required by section 56-3.4(b) of this Subpart with the Asbestos Control Bureau.
