SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA is 

submitting the draft reports for 

independent, external scientific and 

technical peer review. The draft reports 

provide the documentation and 

scientific evaluation of the 

environmental effectiveness of the draft 

AACM protocol as a possible alternative 

technology in controlling multimedia 

asbestos emissions during demolition of 

asbestos-containing buildings, as 

required by the existing Asbestos 

National Emission Standard for 

Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP). 

The draft AACM demolition protocol 

was used on two separate buildings. 

One building contained NESHAPregulated quantities of asbestoscontaining transite siding and the 

second building contained NESHAPregulated quantities of asbestoscontaining popcorn ceiling and wall 

surfacing material. In addition to 

assessing the environmental 

effectiveness of the draft AACM 

technology, these two draft reports 

assess the costs and time requirements 

of the application of the AACM protocol 

in these situations, as well as document 

lessons learned in each instance. The 

public release of these draft documents 

is solely for the purpose of seeking 

public comment and peer review, and 

does not represent and should not be 

construed to represent any EPA policy, 

viewpoint, or determination.
