WYOMING DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ASBESTOS PROGRAM​

The Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality Asbestos Program requires notice prior to demolishing or renovating a public or commercial building. Although private residences have the same potential to contain asbestos-containing material as public and commercial buildings, the asbestos regulations in Wyoming do not extend to private residences, unless the renovation or demolition activity is being performed to allow the property/facility to become public.
