Your Questions, Answered

What is the purpose of the Georgia Notification Form for Asbestos Renovation, Encapsulation, or Demolition?

The Georgia Notification Form is essential for informing the Environmental Protection Division (EPD) about any asbestos-related projects. It ensures that the necessary precautions are taken to protect public health and the environment during renovation, encapsulation, or demolition activities involving asbestos. By completing this form, project managers provide critical information about the scope of work, project location, and the presence of asbestos materials.

Who is required to submit this notification form?

Any individual or organization planning to conduct renovation, encapsulation, or demolition work that involves asbestos must submit this notification form. This includes contractors, property owners, and consultants. If the project involves multiple contractors, the primary contractor responsible for the work must ensure that the notification is submitted accurately and on time.

What information is needed in Section 2 – Site Information?

Section 2 requires detailed information about the project location. You will need to provide the project name, address, city, ZIP code, county, and the nearest major intersection. Additionally, the building size in square feet, age of the building, number of floors, and the specific location of asbestos being removed must be included. This information helps the EPD assess the project and its potential impact.

What types of projects are covered under this notification?

The form covers various types of projects, including renovation/abatement, encapsulation, demolition, and emergency situations. Each type has specific criteria that determine whether a notification is required. For instance, if the project involves removing friable asbestos materials, it falls under renovation/abatement. If demolition is planned, a notification is required regardless of whether asbestos is present.

What happens if I fail to submit the notification form?

Failing to submit the notification form can lead to serious consequences, including fines and penalties. The EPD takes compliance seriously, as improper handling of asbestos can pose significant health risks. Additionally, without proper notification, your project may be halted until the necessary paperwork is completed, causing delays and increased costs.

What are the fees associated with submitting the notification form?

Fees depend on the type of project. For residential projects, the fee is typically $0.10 per linear foot or square foot of friable asbestos, with a minimum fee of $25 and a maximum of $50 per residence. Non-residential projects have a similar fee structure but can reach up to $1,000 per facility. It's important to calculate the fees accurately and submit the appropriate payment along with the notification.

How can I ensure that my notification is complete and accurate?

To ensure completeness and accuracy, carefully follow the instructions provided with the notification form. Never leave sections blank; if information is unknown, indicate that clearly. Double-check all entries for accuracy, and consider having a colleague review the form before submission. Keeping a copy for your records is also a good practice.

What should I do if there are changes to the project after submission?

If changes occur after submitting the notification, a revised notification must be submitted. Indicate the revision number and check the appropriate boxes for any sections that have been updated. It’s crucial to re-sign and date the certification section to confirm that the information is current and accurate.

Where should I send the completed notification form?

The submission address depends on whether fees are due. If fees are required, mail the form to the EPD Asbestos Fees Lockbox. For projects without fees, send the form directly to the EPD office. Always ensure that the correct address is used to avoid processing delays.

Common mistakes

Leaving Sections Blank: Many individuals fail to fill out all sections of the Georgia Notification form. Leaving any section blank can lead to delays or rejections. If information is not available, it is crucial to indicate 'N/A' or 'UNKNOWN'.
Incorrect Project Type Selection: Selecting the wrong project type in Section 1B can cause significant issues. It is essential to accurately check the box that reflects the nature of the project, whether it is demolition, renovation, or encapsulation.
Improper Fee Submission: Submitting the form without the required fee check or money order is a common mistake. For projects where fees are due, ensure that the payment is included and sent to the correct address, as specified in the instructions.
Inaccurate Asbestos Information: Failing to provide accurate details about the presence of asbestos can lead to compliance issues. Confirm whether asbestos is present and provide the correct type codes in Section 6, as this information is crucial for regulatory compliance.
Neglecting Work Schedule Requirements: Not adhering to the notification timeline can create problems. For non-emergency projects, a 10 working day advance notification is required. Ensure that the work schedules are clearly outlined in Section 5.
Missing Certification: The certification section must be signed and dated. Omitting this step can invalidate the notification. The person responsible for the project must certify that they understand the regulations and will comply with all requirements.

Documents used along the form

The Georgia Notification Form for Asbestos Renovation, Encapsulation, or Demolition is an essential document for ensuring compliance with state regulations regarding asbestos management. Along with this form, several other documents are commonly required to support the notification process. Below is a list of these documents, each described briefly to provide clarity on their purpose and relevance.

Asbestos Inspection Report: This document details the findings of an asbestos inspection conducted by a certified inspector. It confirms the presence or absence of asbestos-containing materials (ACM) and outlines the necessary actions for compliance.
Abatement Contractor Agreement: This agreement outlines the terms and conditions between the property owner and the abatement contractor. It includes details on the scope of work, timelines, and payment structures.
Demolition Contractor Agreement: Similar to the abatement agreement, this document specifies the terms of engagement between the owner and the demolition contractor, including project specifications and responsibilities.
Waste Transporter Information: This form provides details about the company responsible for transporting asbestos waste. It includes contact information and ensures that the transporter is licensed and compliant with regulations.
Disposal Site Agreement: This document confirms the location where asbestos waste will be disposed of. It includes details about the landfill or disposal site, ensuring it meets the necessary regulatory requirements.
Work Method Statement: This statement describes the methods and practices that will be employed during the abatement or demolition process. It includes safety measures and engineering controls to minimize asbestos exposure.
Emergency Notification Letter: In cases of unplanned asbestos work due to emergencies, this letter explains the situation and justifies the need for immediate action, along with the relevant notification details.
Certification of Training: This document certifies that all personnel involved in the project have received appropriate training in asbestos handling and safety procedures, as required by law.
Project Timeline: A detailed timeline of the project phases, including start and end dates for abatement or demolition work. This helps ensure that all parties are aware of the project schedule.
Revised Notification Form: If any changes occur after the initial notification, this form is used to update the Georgia EPD with the new information. It is crucial for maintaining compliance and ensuring accurate records.

Each of these documents plays a vital role in the asbestos management process in Georgia. Proper completion and submission of these forms not only help in adhering to legal requirements but also promote safety and environmental protection during renovation or demolition projects involving asbestos.

Dos and Don'ts

When filling out the Georgia Notification form for asbestos-related projects, it is crucial to follow specific guidelines. Here are five things you should do and five things you should avoid:

Do provide complete and accurate information in every section.
Do use attachments if additional information is necessary for clarity.
Do ensure that you check the appropriate boxes for the type of notice and project.
Do submit the form via mail, as fax submissions are no longer accepted.
Do keep a copy of the completed form for your records.

Don't leave any section blank; if information is unknown, insert 'N/A' or 'UNKNOWN.'
Don't submit the form without including the required fee check or money order if applicable.
Don't use two-sided photocopies; only submit single-sided documents.
Don't forget to sign and date the certification section before submission.
Don't submit a notification if it is not signed by the contractor responsible for the project.

Misconceptions

Understanding the Georgia Notification Form for asbestos projects can be challenging, and there are several misconceptions that can lead to confusion. Here are nine common misconceptions about this important document:

1. The form is optional for all projects. Many believe that submitting the form is optional, but it is mandatory for certain projects involving asbestos. Not submitting it can lead to penalties.
2. Only demolition projects require notification. Some think that only demolition projects need to file this notification. However, renovations and encapsulations involving asbestos also require notification.
3. It's acceptable to leave sections blank. A common misconception is that leaving sections blank is permissible. In reality, every section must be completed. If information is unavailable, use "N/A" or "unknown."
4. Fees are always required. Many assume that fees are necessary for all projects. In fact, there are specific exemptions, such as for courtesy notifications or certain demolition projects.
5. The notification can be submitted via fax. Some believe that faxing the notification is acceptable. However, the form must be mailed, as fax submissions are no longer accepted.
6. Only licensed contractors can submit the form. It’s a misconception that only licensed asbestos contractors can file the notification. Owners or representatives can also submit it, but they must ensure that the contractor completes a revised notification before work begins.
7. All asbestos must be removed before demolition. Some think that all asbestos-containing materials must be removed before any demolition. In certain cases, non-friable asbestos can remain during demolition, provided it is managed correctly.
8. The form doesn’t need to be updated. A frequent misunderstanding is that once the form is submitted, it doesn’t need updates. If there are changes to the project, a revised notification must be submitted.
9. Project details can be vague. Some believe that they can provide vague information about the project. In reality, detailed and accurate information is crucial for compliance and safety.

By clarifying these misconceptions, individuals and companies can better navigate the requirements of the Georgia Notification Form, ensuring compliance and safety in asbestos-related projects.

Key takeaways

Complete all sections of the Georgia Notification form without leaving any blanks. If information is unavailable, use 'N/A' or 'UNKNOWN' as appropriate.
Submit the form to the correct address based on whether fees are due. For projects with fees, send to the EPD Asbestos Fees Lockbox. For those without fees, send to the EPD office directly.
Provide accurate project details, including the type of notice and project, site information, and contractor details. Ensure that all project specifics are clearly documented.
For projects involving asbestos removal, ensure that an AHERA-accredited inspector has conducted an inspection and that their details are included in the form.
Keep a copy of the completed form for your records and distribute copies to all involved parties. This will help maintain transparency and accountability throughout the project.
