(2) The owner or
			 operator of a demolition or renovation activity that requires a survey under
			 OAR 340-248-0270(1)  must send a copy of the asbestos survey report to DEQ upon
			 request by DEQ and keep a copy of the asbestos survey report onsite at the
			 facility during a demolition or renovation activity.
(3) The asbestos survey required by OAR
			 340-248-0270(1)  must include all of the following:
(a) Collecting samples of all materials
			 suspected of being asbestos-containing materials, unless the material is
			 presumed to be asbestos-containing material, including at least one bulk sample
			 for each homogeneous material suspected of being asbestos-containing
			 material;
(b) For sprayed or
			 troweled on surfacing materials, collection of at least three (3) random bulk
			 samples for each homogeneous area;
(c) Beginning January 1, 2021, each sample
			 collected under subsections (a) and (b) must be analyzed to determine whether
			 it is asbestos-containing material by a laboratory with proficiency
			 demonstrated by participation in a nationally recognized laboratory
			 accreditation program for asbestos testing, or participate in, and maintain
			 passing status in a nationally recognized bulk asbestos proficiency testing
			 program;
(d) An asbestos survey
			 report that contains the following:
(A) The
			 date or dates that the survey was performed;
(B) The phone number and a copy of the
			 certificate of each accredited inspector that performed a survey;
(C) Site address and location where the
			 survey was performed;
(D) Name and
			 phone number of the owner or operator of the facility where the survey was
			 performed and the owner or operator of the demolition or renovation activity if
			 different;
(E) Description of the
			 facility and area surveyed, including its past and current use, area square
			 footage, approximate construction date, and number of floors;
(F) The purpose of the survey, for example,
			 whether it is for a project involving pre-demolition, renovation, removal of
			 asbestos-containing material due to damage from fire, water, or other
			 purpose;
(G) Detailed description

(vi) The approximate quantity of the material
			 at the facility.
(I) A
			 recommendation of response actions that comply with the requirements of this
			 division; and
(J) A complete copy
			 of the laboratory report for all samples taken and analyzed under subjections
			 (a) - (c) of this section. The minimum requirements for the laboratory report
			 include:
(i) Laboratory name, address, and
			 phone number;
(ii) Unique sample
			 analysis identification number;
(iii) Bulk sample analysis results showing
			 asbestos content;
(iv) Name of the
			 analyst; and
(v) Completed chain of
