HAR §11-502-8. Assessment

(a) For each inspection and reinspection conducted pursuant to section 11-502- 5(a) and (c) and previous inspections specified pursuant to section 11-502-15, the local education agency shall have a certified inspector provide a written assessment of all friable known or assumed ACBM in the school building. Each certified inspector providing a written assessment shall sign and date the assessment, provide the inspector's state of certification and certification number, and submit a copy of the assessment to the person designated pursuant to section 11-502-4 for inclusion in the management plan within thirty days of the assessment. (b) The inspector shall classify and give reasons in the written assessment for classifying the ACBM and suspected ACBM assumed to be ACM in the school building into one of the following categories. (1) Damaged or significantly damaged thermal system insulation ACM; (2) Damaged friable surfacing ACM; (3) Significantly damaged friable surfacing ACM; (4) Damaged or significantly damaged friable miscellaneous ACM; (5) ACBM with potential for damage; (6) ACBM with potential for significant damage; and (7) Any remaining friable ACBM or friable suspected ACBM. (c) Assessment shall include the following considerations: (1) Location and the amount of the material, both in total quantity and as a percentage of the functional space; (2) Condition of the material, specifying: (A) Type of damage or significant damage (e.g., flaking, blistering, water damage, or other signs of physical damage); (B) Severity of damage (e.g., major flaking, severely torn jackets, as opposed to occasional flaking, minor tears to jackets); and (C) Extent or spread of damage over large areas or large percentages of the homogeneous area; (3) Whether the material is accessible; (4) The material's potential for disturbance; (5) Known or suspected causes of damage or significant damage (e.g., air erosion, vandalism, vibration, water); and (6) Preventive measures which might eliminate the reasonable likelihood of undamaged ACM from becoming significantly damaged. (d) The local education agency shall select a person certified to develop management plans pursuant to section 11-504-34 to review the results of each inspection, reinspection, and assessment for the school building and to conduct any other necessary activities in order to recommend in writing to the local education agency appropriate response actions. The certified person shall sign and date the recommendation, provide his or her state of certification, provide his or her certification number, and submit a copy of the recommendation to the person designated pursuant to section 11-502-4 for inclusion in the management plan.
