What is Rule 1403?

SCAQMD Rule 1403 establishes notification and work practice requirements to limit asbestos emissions from building demolition and renovation activities.

California law requires that a copy of the asbestos demolition/renovation

notification form be provided to your local city permitting department prior to the issuance of a demolition/renovation

permit. Local governments are responsible for the asbestos notification process.

When do I need an asbestos survey?

According to Rule 1403, an asbestos survey is required prior to the start of any renovation or demolition project, regardless of the age of the building or the size of the project, in order to determine the presence of asbestos-containing materials. Rule 1403 defines a "demolition" project as a project that includes the removal of any load-bearing component.  All other projects would be considered a "renovation" project.
