Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Good morning, The Environmental Checklist states, "All structures on site will be demolished". If there are structures on site that will be demolished, ORCAA has the following comments for the applicant: ORCAA regulations require an asbestos survey for all demolition projects. Demolition projects by definition also include renovations performed to load-bearing structural members on the current building as part of a remodel. Prior to any demolition project, the following must be completed:  A good faith asbestos survey must be conducted on the structure by a certified Asbestos Hazardous Emergency Response Act (AHERA) building inspector;  If asbestos is found during the survey, an ORCAA Asbestos Removal Notification must be completed and all asbestos containing material must be properly removed prior to the demolition; and,  If the structure is 120 sq. ft. or greater, an ORCAA Demolition Notification must be submitted regardless of the results of the asbestos survey. There is a mandatory 14-day waiting period after ORCAA receives notification, so we recommend the applicant complete the Demolition Notification promptly after receiving the survey. *These requirements are specific to ORCAA and are not synonymous with any city or county permitting jurisdiction requirements Helpful Links: A list of certified asbestos contractors is available at https://www.orcaa.org/asbestos-demolition/asbestos- service-providers/ The Demolition Notification form is available at https://www.orcaa.org/asbestos-demolition/asbestos-forms- resources/demolition-notification-form/ If applicable, the Contractor Asbestos Removal Application is available at https://www.orcaa.org/asbestos- demolition/asbestos-forms-resources/demolition-notification-form/ If you have any questions or concerns regarding the process, please contact Bryson Downs at bryson.downs@orcaa.org or by calling our main office at 360-539-7610.
