Hi Brad,
That is the same document I found as well and agree that the EPDM is not a suspect material and
would not need asbestos testing. I spoke to the building department and they would want you to fill out
the roofing checklist and to consider the possibility of the material used to seal down the EPDM as it
could be asphaltic, tar impregnated. You would want to remove it with by hand and not use mechanical
means for removal.
I hope this answers your question.
Sincerely,

Subject: No Asbestos test required for EPDM roofing
Janne*e,
Thank you for discussing this with me on the phone. I am sending you this email to confirm that
an asbestos test is not required for this document.
We will be re-roofing a flat roof with an EPDM membrane at 520 Riverside Dr. We will also be
removing a wood framed and sided flue chase that is wood only. We don’t expect to encounter or
remove any other materials than the EPDM membrane and the wood framing in this project.
I have a*ached an EPA document I found that states on Page 4-3 that EPDM has not been made
with asbestos.
Please feel free to call or email with any quesYons.
