STATUS REPORT ON THE EVALUATION OF THE ALTERNATIVE ASBESTOS CONTROL METHOD – A COMPARISON TO THE NESHAP METHOD OF DEMOLITION OF ASBESTOS CONTAINING BUILDINGS
In 2006 and 2007 the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) conducted three tests to examine the cost and environmental effectiveness of the Alternative Asbestos Control Method (AACM). Two tests were conducted in Fort Chafee, Arkansas and one was conducted in Fort Worth, Texas. The EPA discontinued testing the AACM due to technical deficiencies. The AACM remains unapproved and should not be used.
