This liability is for any buildings that are "subject to public occupancy, or to which the general public has access" and states that "The owner retains the primary responsibility for the presence, condition, disturbance, renovation, demolition, and disposal of any asbestos." In addition, the Rules stipulate that prior to any renovation or demolition, the building must be inspected for the presence of asbestos by a licensed asbestos inspector and except in cases where only limited amounts of asbestos is present, y the removal project for the asbestos must be designed by a licensed asbestos consultant. Astex Environmental Services- a licensed asbestos consulting agency with all associated personnel being fully PON y; p4 accredited and licensed in various disciplines: asbestos inspections, p abatement project managers, project designers, and air monitors, by the State of Texas under the 1994 Texan Asbestos Health A e An r W F � Protection Act, (Texas Civil Statues, Article 4477-3a).
