Is funding for building demolition eligible?
Building demolition costs are eligible when the removal of a structure is identified as necessary in an MPCA approved Response Action Plan (RAP) in order to gain access to remediate soil and ground water contamination. Pre-demolition costs related to the abatement of asbestos or lead-based paint are eligible. Demolition costs requested must be proportionate to the footprint of the soil contamination removed. Interior demolition costs are typically not eligible unless it can be demonstrated that specified demolition activities are required to access asbestos or lead-based paint that has been verified by a bulk sample analysis in a hazardous materials report accompanying a TBRA application.
