100 QuestionsIn an effort to provide answers to commonly asked questions about “Regulation No. 8, Part B, Asbestos”, the regulated community and the CDPHE Asbestos Program have worked together to compile a list of the most commonly asked questions about Regulation No. 8. The document presently contains far fewer than the 100 questions its title implies. The intent was to draw a comparison to the perhaps better known EPA document “100 Commonly Asked Questions About the New AHERA Asbestos-in-Schools Rule”, published in 1988.
If at any time you wish to submit a question of your own to be posted in the “100 Questions” document, simply e-mail your question to asbestos@state.co.us .
