21. US EPA (1994) Asbestos/NESHAP Demolition Decision Tree. EPA Manufacturing, Energy, and Transportation Division, Office of Compliance. Available from the EPA OPPTS Ombudsman’s office. Decontamination of Demolition Site
If the surrounding soil has been contaminated by the demolition activities at the site, the site must be cleaned up to background levels of asbestos contamination. ...To clean up the site to background levels, it will probably be necessary to remove all the asbestos contaminated soil. The contaminated soil should be treated and disposed of as asbestos-containing waste material.”
