The presence of 'asbestos-containing materials' (ACM) in an Arizona building does NOT necessarily require immediate remediation if:

AFederal law prohibits any asbestos-containing material from remaining in an occupied building constructed before 1980 regardless of its condition or friability

BAny ACM identified by a licensed inspector must be encapsulated within 90 days under Arizona OSHA regulations, even if it is non-friable and undisturbedCorrect

CThe ACM is in good condition and not likely to be disturbed (non-friable), and there is no planned renovation or demolition

DOnly ACM that has been fully abated and documented with a licensed contractor's certification is exempt from ongoing Arizona remediation requirements

Why Any ACM identified by a licensed inspector must be encapsulated within 90 days under Arizona OSHA regulations, even if it is non-friable and undisturbed Is Correct

Answer B: Any ACM identified by a licensed inspector must be encapsulated within 90 days under Arizona OSHA regulations, even if it is non-friable and undisturbed

Non-friable (intact, undisturbed) ACM in good condition does not require immediate remediation. However, plans for renovation or demolition that would disturb ACM trigger AHERA/NESHAP requirements for proper abatement before disturbance.

Exam Tip: Environmental

Environmental questions test knowledge of hazards like asbestos, lead-based paint, radon, and mold. Know the disclosure requirements and when a professional inspection is required. CERCLA liability is strict, joint, and several.
