A developer bought an older warehouse in 2026 and planned to demolish it for a mixed-use project. Because asbestos-containing materials might be present, what is the most appropriate federal compliance step before demolition begins?

Correct Answer

A) Have the facility thoroughly inspected for asbestos and comply with any required NESHAP notice and handling rules before demolition

For regulated demolitions, federal asbestos rules require a thorough inspection before work begins and may require notice and specific handling procedures depending on the facts. The owner or operator cannot simply assume that asbestos can be addressed after demolition starts.

Answer Options
A
Have the facility thoroughly inspected for asbestos and comply with any required NESHAP notice and handling rules before demolition
B
Start demolition first and test the debris only if inspectors later request samples
C
Remove only visibly damaged materials and ignore any nonfriable asbestos-containing materials
D
Transfer demolition responsibility to the construction lender to avoid owner and operator duties
