prior to beginning a renovation or demolition project; all regulated asbestos-containing
material that will be disturbed as part of a renovation or demolition must
be properly removed by state-certified individuals before beginning the
project; all asbestos-containing waste material must be properly disposed
of in an approved landfill; and the
