Towne, Jason From: Chamberlain, Mark H - DNR<Mark.Chamberlain@wisconsin.gov> Sent: Wednesday, December 06, 2017 4:32 PM To: taylorexcavating@yahoo.com Cc: Davis, Mark R - DNR; Szabo, Michael G - DNR; Hill, Maria A - DNR; Spaight, Christopher J - DNR; Germer, Robert J - DNR; Buchholz, Shane; Towne, Jason; Beers, Dale; Main, Sue; DNR WA Complaints Subject: Demolition of the former Webster Motel and Requirements Under Wisconsin Administrative Code NR 447 Attachments: NR 447.pdf; 4500-113.pdf; AM 336 What you need to Know About Renovation and Demolition.pdf; WA -651 Planning Your Demolition or Renovation Project.pdf; WA -601 Managing Your Debris from Demolition.pdf; WA -1798 Universal Waste.pdf Mr. Taylor Thank you for talking to me this morning about the requirements for demolition of buildings under Wisconsin Administrative Code (WAC) NR 447 "Control of Asbestos Emissions" (copy attached). Any commercial property undergoing renovation or demolition, such as the former Webster Motel or even agriculture buildings, must have a pre-demolition/renovation inspection for asbestos containing materials (ACM). If greater than 160 square feet or 260 linear feet of asbestos pipe wrap will be disturbed during the renovation or demolition the ACM must be removed prior to the demolition and/or renovation and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) must be notified in writing 10 days prior to the. removal of the ACM or the demolition of the structure(s) using Form 4500-113 "Notification for Demolition and/or Renovation and Application for Permit Exemption" (attached). Even if no asbestos is found in the building to be demolished, Form 4500-113 must be submitted to the DNR prior to the demolition. The attached two page DNR Publication AM 336 "Renovation and Demolition Guidance" (copy attached) summarizes the requirements under Wisconsin Administrative Code NR 447. In addition all waste generated from the demolition or renovation must be properly disposed of at a licensed landfill. I also included a copy of DNR Publication WA -651 "Planning Your Demolition or Renovation Project" (copy attached). This publication can be used as a guideline for identifying other hazardous materials that must be removed prior to the demolition of a building. It covers items such as Asbestos, PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls) CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons), halons, mercury, and lead. The one page Universal Waste pamphlet(WA-1798) gives examples of the typical waste covered under WA -651. Once a building is demolished the debris must be taken to a landfill that accepts the waste. Asphalt shingles, metal, clean -unpainted concrete, stone brick and clean wood can be taken to a location that recycles these materials. Please refer to the attached DNR Publication "Demolition Debris: Management of Debris Resulting from Natural Disasters or Planned Demolition Activities" which provides guidance on the proper disposal methods of debris from natural disasters or planned demolition activities. Otherwise the demolition debris must be disposed of in a licensed landfill that accepts demolition waste. The only materials that are allowed to be buried on site and used as fill are as follows: • Clean soil, • Brick, • Building stone, • Concrete or reinforced concrete not painted with lead or mercury -based paint, • Broken pavement, and • Wood not treated or painted with preservatives or lead-based paint.
