Asbestos Information
A permit is required for all removal of
asbestos from any residential, commercial or public
building. The Western North Carolina Regional Air Quality
Agency regulates demolitions and asbestos removal under
two different set of regulations. The Federal Asbestos
National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
regulations govern all public or commercial building
demolitions and the removal of federally regulated asbestos
materials from public or commercial buildings. All renovations
or demolition on commercial or public buildings must
be assessed by a North Carolina certified asbestos inspector
prior to demolition or renovation.
Local regulations govern the demolition of residential
structures and removal of non-federally regulated asbestos
from public, commercial, or residential structures.
