LDEQ Demolition Inspector TrainingLDEQ Demolition Inspector Training

Introduction

Katrina destroyed many homes. Many of the older homes that will be demolished have asbestos-containing materials (ACM). Homes that have been identified or assumed to have ACM must be handled in a special way to ensure that there is no release of asbestos fibers, which could violate the federal and state rules governing asbestos removal (LESHAP).

The purpose of this class is to review the Demo Inspector checklist and LESHAP regulations to ensure that you understand what is required during the demolition process.

Additional CommentsAdditional Comments

Supervisors need to be aware of the demo protocol.

Need for adequate supervision at sites; more than just the excavator operator and the hose man.

Most of the problems we have encountered were due to inadequate supervision.

Rolling on RACM Debris is not allowed under any circumstances.

Additional CommentsAdditional Comments Burrito wrap:Burrito wrap:

• Leak-tight container (Complete bag or glue &/or taping)• The idea is for the bag to slide out in one piece. No

gluing of the bag to the sides of the trailer; do not tape the top of the bag over the trailer crossbar

• Clear plastic or polyethylene is required• Need tape and/or glue (must be secure)• Back flap under side flaps, front flap over side flaps• Generator label - prefer indelible marker

In practice, DEQ only requires tape or glue…just as long as the wrap is sealed and holds up in transport. (recent problems)


Wetting of Debris:Wetting of Debris:

• Structure must be wet down before the demolition begins.

• Excavator should not be working unless there is somebody working the water hose.

• Must have properly operating equipment (hoses in good shape, adequate pressure).

• Mention pressure washer attachment; still must use a large volume hose for the roof.

• If two pieces of equipment are working, may need two water hoses.


Asbestos Accreditations:Asbestos Accreditations:

• Hot zone workers, equipment operators, air-monitors, and supervisors must have their LDEQ asbestos accreditation certificate and photo ID; or LDEQ asbestos accreditation ID onsite.

• Copy of LDEQ accreditation certificate & own ID picture ID is allowed.
