Asbestos investigations are the heart of our business. Regulations for asbestos building materials were
started in the Reagen era and continue today. Asbestos is found in thousands of common building
materials and is still imported into the United States. Federal and state regulation require
inspections before any demolition of remediation. Salt Lake County also requires an inspection for
Universal Waste Materials such as car batteries, chemicals, mercury and PCBs before demolition
of a structure.

AHERA Management Plans (Schools) "The Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) requires schools to "ensure that workers
and building occupants, or their legal guardians, are informed at least once each school
year about inspections, response actions, and post-response action activities, including
periodic reinspection and surveillance activities that are planned or in progress (763.84(c)).
Such notification must be done in writing and a copy placed in the management plan. Suggested
notification methods may be through the publication of an article in a school district
newsletter or through a separate written notice distributed to staff and sent home to a student's
parent or legal guardian."Environmental Solutions provides both three-year inspections and new management plans for schools
