Asbestos surveys are required in Nevada and California by the EPA and OSHA for renovation and demolition projects at commercial, institutional, and industrial structures. Local agencies such as Clark County Air Quality and Washoe County Air Quality in Reno enforce EPA regulations such as the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Pollutants and provide guidance to ensure appropriate management and disposal of hazardous building materials containing asbestos. NOVA has conducted asbestos surveys throughout Nevada and southern California.
NOVA can also conduct Hazardous Material Surveys for a property, in which asbestos and lead samples are collected and any other hazardous material is noted (mercury in old thermostats, PCBs in light ballasts, etc.) and discussed in the report of findings. Lead sampling can be conducted with the collection of paint chips or with our in-house XRF gun.
