R. Baker & Son: EPA’s Website Simplifies Compliance


Demolition, dismantling and decommissioning have the potential to expose our environment to significant dangers.  Failure to control pollution can damage waterways and wetlands, contaminate groundwater, kill wildlife, and release hazardous substances into the air.  Materials such asbestos and lead are known cause significant health problems and deadly diseases.  Contractors must comply with regulations and follow practices that eliminate risks to health and the environment when handling hazardous materials.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) enacts and enforces the numerous regulations related to the construction and demolition sector.  In order to streamline and simplify compliance, the EPA provides regulatory information, documents, and guidelines on their website, www.epa.gov.  Topics include asbestos, lead, demolition waste, and storm water runoff.  EPA construction and demolition sector regulatory information can be found at http://www2.epa.gov/regulatory-information-sector/construction-sector-naics-23
