11-2-214 Conversion Operation: A process by which asbestos material and/or asbestos containing waste material is converted to nonasbestos (asbestos-free) material.

11-2-215 Cumulative Renovations: A series of small (less than 30.8 m [100 ft] linear, 9.4 m [100 square feet] or 1 cubic meter [35 cubic feet]) renovations or removals of RACM performed during a calendar year at a single plant or facility which, taken together, would add up to a reportable amount under the provisions of this Rule.

11-2-216 Demolition: Wrecking, intentional burning, moving or dismantling of any load supporting structural member, or portion thereof, of a building, facility or ship. This includes, but is not limited to, any related cutting, disjointing, stripping, or removal of structural elements.

11-2-217 Element: Any boiler, pipe, furnace, duct, tank, reactor, column, turbine, bridge or structural member.

11-2-218 Emergency Demolition: A demolition carried out pursuant to an order of a federal, state or local government agency issued because the building is structurally unsound and in danger of imminent collapse, or has been declared a public nuisance.

11-2-219 Emergency Renovation: Renovation that is not planned but results from an sudden, unexpected event. This includes:

219.1 Operations necessitated by equipment failures;

219.2 Unanticipated findings of RACM during demolition, renovation or construction activity;

219.3 The conversion of previously nonfriable asbestos-containing material to friable material during the course of a renovation;

219.4 Renovations due to fire, water, or earthquake damage;

219.5 Renovations where imminent danger to the public health may exist;

219.6 Renovations in public buildings and schools; or

219.7 Owner-occupied single family dwellings during or within ten days of the close of escrow which may be included at the discretion of the APCO.

11-2-220 Encapsulant: A sealant material such as latex paint which, when applied, coats or penetrates the asbestos-containing material.

11-2-221 Fabricating: Any processing of a manufactured product containing commercial asbestos with the exception of processing at temporary sites for the construction or restoration of buildings, structures, plants or installations.

11-2-222 Friable Asbestos-Containing material: Any material that contains more than one percent asbestos as determined by the methods specified in Section 11-2-603 and that falls into one or more of the following categories:

11-2-222.1 Materials that can be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder, when dry, by hand pressure. These include, but are not limited to, sprayed-on or troweled-on fireproofing, acoustic ceiling material and ceiling tiles, resilient floor covering backing, thermal systems insulation, non-asphalt-saturated roofing felts, asbestos-containing paper and joint compound.

11-2-222.2 Materials that have been rendered to a crumbled, pulverized, or powdered state, when dry, by crushing, sanding, sawing or shot-blasting or other demolition or renovation techniques. These include, but are not limited to, U.S. E.P.A. Category I non-friable asbestos-containing material as defined in 40 CFR Part 61.141 and in Section 11-2-208.

11-2-222.3 Materials in which the asbestos fibers are bound into a matrix, if such materials have been rendered to a powdered state, when dry, by crushing, sanding, sawing or shot-blasting or other demolition or renovation techniques, or by severe weathering. These include, but are not limited to U.S. E.P.A. Category II nonfriable asbestos-containing material as defined in 40 CFR Part 61.141 and in Section 11-2-209.

11-2-223 Glove Bag Method: A method of stripping of removing RACM in which the wetted material is totally isolated inside a transparent plastic leak-tight bag and then manually removed using gloves which are an integral part of the bag.

11-2-224 HEPA Filter: A high efficiency particulate air filter capable of filtering 0.3 micron particles with 99.97 percent efficiency as determined by ASTM method D-2988-71.

11-2-225 Inactive Waste Disposal Site: Any disposal site or portion thereof, where additional asbestos-containing waste material will not be deposited and where the surface is not disturbed by vehicular traffic.

11-2-226 Leak-Tight: Any method of containerization that prevents solids, liquids, or particles from escaping or spilling out.

11-2-227 Manufacturing: The combining of commercial asbestos, or in the case of woven friction products, the combining of textiles containing commercial asbestos, with any other material(s), including commercial asbestos, and the processing of this combination into a product.

11-2-228 (added) Ordered Demolition: The demolition of a stationary structure pursuant to an order of an authorized representative of a federal, state or local government agency, issued because that structure is structurally unsound and in danger of imminent collapse.

11-2-229 Outside Air: The air outside buildings and structures.

(Consultant's commentary: Considerable literature, as well as our own testing results, indicate that normal outside air in urban areas can typically be expected to have asbestos content in the general range of 0.005 fibers per cubic cm. Residential/commercial areas in suburbs near urban areas are typically 0.003 to 0.004 f/cc. Rural areas may typically be found to have 0.002 to 0.003 f/cc. HMA conducted air testing west of Marin County, California, approximately 13 miles out on the Pacific Ocean, and results were reported as 0.002 fibers per cc. One may conclude that *some* level of asbestos is expected to be present in normal ambient air.)

11-2-230 Owner or Operator of a Demolition or Renovation: Any person who owns, leases, operates, controls or supervises the stationary structure being demolished or renovated or any person who owns, leases, operates, controls or supervises demolition or renovation or both.

11-2-231 Particulate Asbestos Material: Finely divided particles of asbestos material.

11-2-232 Planned Renovation: A renovation, or a number of such operations, in which the amount of RACM that will be removed or stripped at an installation within a maximum time of one year can be predicted. Operations that are individually non-scheduled are included, provided a number of such operations can be predicted to occur during a given period of time based on operating experience. The minimum period of time shall be 30 days.

11-2-233 Regulated Asbestos-Containing Material (RACM):

11-2-233.1 Friable asbestos-containing material, as defined in Section 11-2-222 or,

11-2-233. Category I nonfriable asbestos-containing material that has or will become friable, or that has been subject to sanding, drilling, grinding, cutting, or abrading, or,

11-2-233.3 Category II nonfriable asbestos-containing material that may become or has become crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by the forces expected to act on the material in the course of demolition or renovation.

11-2-234 Removing: The taking out, cutting, drilling or similarly disturbing of RACM used on any element from any building, structure, plant or installation.

11-2-235 Renovation: An operation other than demolition in which RACM is removed or stripped from any element of a building, structure, plant, ship, installation or portion thereof.

11-2-236 Resilient Floor Covering: Asbestos-containing material comprised of floor tile, including asphalt or vinyl floor tile, or sheet vinyl floor covering; but not including linoleum, sheet linoleum, or the backing of linoleum, which are considered friable for the purposes of this Rule.
