Category 1 nonfriable asbestos-containing material (AMC) - means asbestos-containing packages,
gaskets, resilient floor covering, and asphalt roofing products containing more than 1 percent
asbestos as determined using the method specified in appendix E, subpart E, 40 CRF part 763,
section 1, Polarized Light Microscopy
Category II nonfiriable AMC - means any material, excluding Category I nonfirable AMC, containing
more than 1 percent asbestos as determined using the method specified in appendix E, subpart E, 40
CRF part 763, section 1, Polarized Light Microscopy that , when dry, cannot be crumbled, pulverized,
or reduced to powder by hand pressure
Demolition - means the wrecking of tacking out of any load-supporting structural member of a
facility together with any related handling operations or the international burning of any facility
Friable asbestos material - means any material containing more than 1 percent asbestos as
determined using the method specified in appendix E, subpart E, 40 CRF part 763, section 1,
Polarized Light Microscopy that , when dry, can be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by
hand pressure. If the asbestos content is less than 10 percent as determined by a method other than
point counting by polarized light microscopy (PLM), verify the asbestos content by point counting
using PLM.
Regulated asbestos-containing material (RAMC) - means (a) Friable asbestos material, (b) Category I
nonfriable AMC that has become friable, (c) Category I nonfirbale AMC that will be or has been
subjected to sanding, grinding, cutting, or abrading, or (d) Category II Nonfirable ACM that has
become crumbled, pulverized, or recorded, or reduced to powder by the forces expected to act on
the material in the course of demolition or renovation operations regulated by this subpart
Renovations - means altering a facility or one or more facility components in any way, including the
stripping or removal of RAMC from a facility component. Operations in which load-supporting
structural members are wrecked or taken out of demolitions.
Visible emissions - means any emissions, which are visually detectable with out the help of
instruments, coming form RAMC or asbestos-containing waste material, or form any asbestos milling,
manufacturing, or fabricating operations. This does not include condensed, uncombined water vapor
, 61.145 Standard for demolition and renovation (a) 1 (i) - At least 80 linear meters (260 linear feet) on
pipes or at least 15 square meters (160 square feet) on another facility components
61.145 Standard for demolition and renovation (a) 1 (ii) - At least 1 cubic meter (35 cubic feet) off
facility components where the length or area could not be measured previously
Asbestos containing material (AMC) ~ Schools - when referring to school buildings means any
material or product which contains more than 1 percent asbestos.
Asbestos-containing building material (ACBM) ~ Schools - means surfacing AMC, thermal system
insulation, or miscellaneous AMC that is found in or on interior structural members of other parts of
a school building
Functional Space ~ Schools - means any room, group of rooms, or homogeneous area (including
crawl spaces or the space between a dropped ceiling and the floor or roof deck above), such as
classroom(s), a cafeteria, gymnasium, hallway(s), designated by a person accredited to prepare
management plans, design abatement projects, or conduct response actions
Homogeneous area - means any area of surfacing material, thermal systems insulation material, or
miscellaneous material that is uniform in color and texture
Miscellaneous material - means interior building material on structural components or fixtures, such
as floors and ceiling tiles, and does not include surfacing material or thermal system insulation
Response action - means a method including removal, encapsulation, enclosure, repair, operations
and maintenance, that protects human health and the environment from friable ACMB
Surfacing material - means material in a school building that is spray-on, toweled-on, or otherwise
applied to surfaces, such as acoustical plaster on ceilings ans fireproofing materials on structural
members, or other materials on surfaces for acoustical, fireproofing, or other purposes
Thermal system insulation - means material in a school building applied to pipes, fittings, boilers,
breaching , tanks, ducts, or other interior structural components to prevent heat loss or gain, or
water condensation, or for other purposes
