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
