A major fiber release episode is any\r\nuncontrolled or unintentional disturbance of ACBM resulting in a visible\r\nemission which involves the falling or dislodging of more than three square or\r\nlinear feet of friable ACBM. A minor fiber release is the uncontrolled or\r\nunintentional disturbance of ACBM resulting in a visible emission which\r\ninvolves the falling or dislodging of three square or linear feet or less of\r\nfriable ACBM.

\r\n\r\n

74:31:01:01.07. Small-scale,\r\nshort-duration activities defined. Small-scale, short-duration\r\nactivities (SSSD) are tasks such as removal of asbestos-containing pipe\r\ninsulation; removal of asbestos-containing insulation on beams or above\r\nceilings; replacement of an asbestos-containing gasket on a valve; installation\r\nor removal of a small section of drywall; installation of electrical conduits\r\nthrough or proximate to ACM; and repairs to asbestos-containing thermal systems\r\ninsulation or drywall. SSSD activities include removal of asbestos-containing\r\nthermal systems insulation that results in the production of an amount of ACM\r\nthat can be contained in a single glove bag or a repair involving\r\nencapsulation, enclosure, or removal of small amounts of friable ACM that can\r\nbe contained in a single prefabricated minienclosure, that was required in the\r\nperformance of an emergency or routine maintenance activity and that was not\r\nintended solely as asbestos abatement. A minienclosure must conform spatially\r\nand geometrically to the localized work area in order to perform its intended\r\nwork function.
