    Section 1-28 would be amended to require certified asbestos investigators (CAIs) to respond to requests for audit appointments within two weeks. Purpose: To address situations where CAIs have failed to respond to requests for audit appointments.
    Comment: DEP shall notify CAI in writing including USPS mail, email and phone call. Audit appointments should be change from two weeks to four weeks.
    Also, DEP shall issue any NOV within four weeks of the site audit. Currently, DEP inspector are issuing NOV up to 8 months after the site audit. This is not acceptable. Attached is our NOV. Site audit was dated 08-25-2020, NOV was issued on 04-20-2021 and the ECB hearing was 06-04-2021. Thank you. David Chang, AJK EnvioFire Consulting LLC.
