No.  In the new system, Asbestos Operation Fees will be charged based on the Total Removal Amount of regulated asbestos containing material (RACM).  Fees will no longer be calculated by using the greater quantity of square feet or linear feet of RACM to be removed.  The Asbestos Operation Fee will be calculated using the sum of all RACM in square feet and linear feet.

See "My home or residential building has multiple units.  What is my building type?"
