of the regulated abatement work area, within the building or structure, in an uncontaminated area within ten (10) feet of the isolation barriers. (e) Exemption From Clearance Air Sampling. Clearance air sampling is not required for exterior asbestos projects completed without a negative pressure enclosure. When clearance sampling is not required as per this Part, once the final cleaning is complete, the appropriate waiting/settling or drying time requirements, as defined in Section 9.1 shall commence. Once the appropriate time period has elapsed, a visual inspection shall be completed to confirm that the scope of abatement work for the asbestos project is complete, and no visible asbestos debris/residue, pools of liquid, or condensation remain. This visual inspection shall be completed by an appropriately trained and certified project monitor contracted by the building/structure owner, independent of the asbestos abatement contractor. If the property owner is the asbestos abatement contractor for the asbestos project, the owner shall contract with an independent project monitoring firm asbestos contractor for the necessary visual inspection on the asbestos project. A complete abatement scope of work shall be provided to the project monitor by the asbestos abatement contractor and property owner, prior to the scheduling of the required visual inspection. An entry shall be made into the asbestos abatement contractor supervisor’s daily log by both the supervisor and the individual performing the inspection, detailing the findings of the visual inspection. The full name and NYSDOL asbestos handling certificate number of the certified individual performing the inspection shall also be documented in the supervisor’s daily log. If the regulated abatement work area is determined to be acceptable, this qualified individual may authorize breakdown of the regulated abatement work area, removal of all remaining barriers and waste removal from the site. (1) Exemption from Project Monitor Visuai inspection. Asbestos projects which are exempt from clearance air sampling requirements at one or two- family owner occupied residential buildings/structures, are also allowed an exemption from the project monitor visual inspection requirements. For asbestos projects utilizing this exemption, once final cleaning is complete, a visual inspection shall be completed by the supervisor to confirm that the scope of abatement work for the asbestos project is complete, and no visible debris/residue, pools of liquid, or condensation remain. The results of this inspection shall be documented by the supervisor in the asbestos abatement contractor daily project log, and once the asbestos project is complete the supervisor shall also obtain the owner’s written acceptance of the final results of the asbestos project within the daily project log. (f) Satisfactory Clearance Air Sample Results. The clearance air sample results shall be considered acceptable when the clearance criteria in Section 56-4.11 have been satisfied. (g) Unsatisfactory Clearance Air Sample Results. Required actions if the non­ exempt regulated abatement work area clearance air sampling results are unsatisfactory are as follows:
