''Thursday, July 25, 2019 at 9:59:40 AM (GMT+07:00) Goldstein, Meyer:'' Rule Caption: Residential Demolition Asbestos Survey Requirement Adm. Order No.: DEQ 3-2016 Filed with Sec. of State: 4-21-2016 Certified to be Effective: 4-21-16 Notice Publication Date: 1-1-2016 Rules Amended: 340-248-0250, 340-248-0270 Subject: During the 2015 Legislative Session, the Oregon Legislature enacted Senate Bill 705. The bill requires DEQ to adopt rules that prohibit demolishing a residential building without first having an accredited inspector perform an asbestos survey. On Dec. 9, 2015, the Environmental Quality Commission adopted temporary rules implementing Senate Bill 705. The temporary rules became effective Jan. 1, 2016, and will expire on June 29, 2016. The proposed permanent rules replace these temporary rules. The proposed rule amendments require an owner or operator to have an accredited inspector perform an asbestos survey before demolishing a residential building. In addition, the proposed rules contain exceptions to the survey requirement for residential buildings constructed after Jan. 1, 2004, and for demolitions where the owner or operator treats the entire building as friable asbestos containing material. The proposed rules also allow DEQ to consider, on a case-by-case basis, a written request for a waiver from the survey requirement. Finally, the proposed rules require the owner or operator to submit the asbestos survey report to DEQ, upon DEQ’s request.
