Evidence of asbestos notification to the Environmental Protection Agency or its designee (SCAQMD).
Note: SCAQMD mandates a thorough asbestos survey of the building that is going to be demolished or renovated. It is then the contractors responsibility to have the asbestos removed by a state licensed asbestos abatement contractor and to notify SCAQMD by sending them a completed form 1403 by certified mail (the form is available at the city).
Typically you must always notify SCAQMD.
One exception from notification is when the asbestos survey reveals that there is less than 100 square feet of ACM (asbestos containing materials) and the project is a renovation, not a demolition.
The other exception is when the owner/occupant of a single-family residence is personally doing his/her renovation.

Section 19827.5. A demolition permit shall not be issued by any city, county, city and county, or state or local agency which is authorized to issue demolition permits as to any building or other structure except upon the receipt from the permit applicant of a copy of each written asbestos notification regarding the building that has been required to be submitted to the United States Environmental Protection Agency or to a designated state agency, or both pursuant to part 61 of Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations, or the successor to that part. The permit may be issued without the applicant submitting a copy of the written notification if the applicant declares that the notification is not applicable to the scheduled demolition project. The permitting agency may require the applicant to make the declaration in writing, or it may incorporate the applicant's response on the demolition permit application. Compliance with this section shall not be deemed to supersede any requirement of federal law.
2Governor Davis signed California's first law to protect from lead poisoning. SB 460 makes "lead hazards" a housing violation under state law, authorizing building, code enforcement and health department officials to investigate and enforce the law. Under terms of SB460 (Ortiz, Chapter 931) it is illegal to create or have a lead hazard in residential or public buildings.
