Section 216-RICR-50-15-1.16 - Alternative Procedures

The Department may, on a case-by-case basis, approve an alternative procedure for control of emissions from an asbestos abatement project provided that the building owner submits the alternative procedure to the Department in writing and demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Department that compliance with the prescribed procedures is not practical or not feasible or that the proposed alternative procedures provide equivalent control of asbestos. The Department, following its review, may approve an alternative procedure if it determines that it will minimize the emission of asbestos.
