with correct answers
Category |1 |nonfriable |asbestos-containing |material |(AMC) |- |ANSWERS✔✔ |means |asbestos-
containing |packages, |gaskets, |resilient |floor |covering, |and |asphalt |roofing |products |
containing |more |than |1 |percent |asbestos |as |determined |using |the |method |specified |in |
appendix |E, |subpart |E, |40 |CRF |part |763, |section |1, |Polarized |Light |Microscopy

nonfirable |AMC, |containing |more |than |1 |percent |asbestos |as |determined |using |the |method |
specified |in |appendix |E, |subpart |E, |40 |CRF |part |763, |section |1, |Polarized |Light |Microscopy |
that |, |when |dry, |cannot |be |crumbled, |pulverized, |or |reduced |to |powder |by |hand |pressure
Demolition |- |ANSWERS✔✔ |means |the |wrecking |of |tacking |out |of |any |load-supporting |
structural |member |of |a |facility |together |with |any |related |handling |operations |or |the |
international |burning |of |any |facility
Friable |asbestos |material |- |ANSWERS✔✔ |means |any |material |containing |more |than |1 |
percent |asbestos |as |determined |using |the |method |specified |in |appendix |E, |subpart |E, |40 |CRF |
part |763, |section |1, |Polarized |Light |Microscopy |that |, |when |dry, |can |be |crumbled, |pulverized, |
or |reduced |to |powder |by |hand |pressure. |If |the |asbestos |content |is |less |than |10 |percent |as |

material, |(b) |Category |I |nonfriable |AMC |that |has |become |friable, |(c) |Category |I |nonfirbale |
AMC |that |will |be |or |has |been |subjected |to |sanding, |grinding, |cutting, |or |abrading, |or |(d) |
Category |II |Nonfirable |ACM |that |has |become |crumbled, |pulverized, |or |recorded, |or |reduced |
to |powder |by |the |forces |expected |to |act |on |the |material |in |the |course |of |demolition |or |
renovation |operations |regulated |by |this |subpart
, Renovations |- |ANSWERS✔✔ |means |altering |a |facility |or |one |or |more |facility |components |in |
any |way, |including |the |stripping |or |removal |of |RAMC |from |a |facility |component. |Operations |
in |which |load-supporting |structural |members |are |wrecked |or |taken |out |of |demolitions.
Visible |emissions |- |ANSWERS✔✔ |means |any |emissions, |which |are |visually |detectable |with |
out |the |help |of |instruments, |coming |form |RAMC |or |asbestos-containing |waste |material, |or |
form |any |asbestos |milling, |manufacturing, |or |fabricating |operations. |This |does |not |include |
condensed, |uncombined |water |vapor

meter |(35 |cubic |feet) |off |facility |components |where |the |length |or |area |could |not |be |measured |
previously

homogeneous |area |(including |crawl |spaces |or |the |space |between |a |dropped |ceiling |and |the |
floor |or |roof |deck |above), |such |as |classroom(s), |a |cafeteria, |gymnasium, |hallway(s), |
