The Air District doesn’t regulate building materials that contain less than 1% asbestos and doesn’t have any requirement regarding disposal of these types of building materials.

Due to the work practice requirements of the Regulation 11, Rule 2, homeowners generally cannot perform removal.

Please see our “Asbestos Compliance Tips for Building Owners” document in English, Spanish or Russian in the “Resources” section at the bottom of the Air District’s Asbestos Demolitions & Renovations Notification page.
