Asbestos Notification

Renovation or demolition of structures that contain asbestos requires advance notification to the District and handling by EPA-certified contractors. Asbestos is considered a toxic pollutant by Federal and State law because it is known to cause or contribute to cancer. All forms of asbestos are considered toxic and no safe exposure level has been determined for residential areas. The District FAQ, below, provides specific District information.
