EPA Regional and State Asbestos Contacts
Complementing the ongoing EPA Headquarters policy development effort, EPA maintains ten regional offices to implement federal environmental programs around the country. These regional offices cooperate with federal, state, interstate and local agencies, as well as with industry, academic institutions and other private groups, to ensure that regional needs are addressed and that federal environmental laws are upheld. Within each region, the Regional Administrator has designated Regional Asbestos Coordinators and National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) Asbestos Coordinators to oversee the asbestos efforts within the region.
A list of State Asbestos Contacts is available for the convenience of our users. This state list will updated on an annual basis only.

State Asbestos Contacts - Most states administer their own asbestos programs and your home state department of environmental protection or health is generally the best place to start with questions about requirements/regulations that may apply to any given asbestos situation.
