The State’s contractor will conduct a rapid sweep, not a comprehensive clean-up. Detected hazardous waste will be removed, but some hazardous waste may be missed or may otherwise require subsequent clean-up actions during the Phase 2 debris removal process by someone certified to handle household hazardous waste.

Although the state’s contractor will be conducting the initial sweep, any property owners who use private contractors to complete the Phase 2 structural debris removal will be required to have a Certified Asbestos Consultant clear their property for asbestos before work can commence.
