Adopt program for managing toxic PCBs during building demolition
Resolution Resolution No. 17-19
In Plain English
PCBs are toxic chemicals commonly found in older building materials like caulk and paint. The city currently has no formal process for handling these hazardous materials when buildings are torn down. The new program requires testing and safe disposal of PCBs before demolition begins.
