What is Regulation 21? (PDF File)

In 1990, the State of Arkansas promulgated the Arkansas Pollution Control and Ecology Commission Regulation 21 (PDF File) (the Arkansas Asbestos Abatement Regulation). This regulation was developed to regulate work practices during demolitions and renovations of facilities, as well as to license asbestos supervisors and workers.

The regulation was revised in 1997 to regulate work practices during demolitions, renovations, and response actions; certify contractor/supervisors, inspectors, management planners, project designers, air monitors, and workers; license asbestos training providers, contractors, and consultants; and establish a fee system.
