Ventura County has older buildings and stricter rules.
About 63 percent of homes in the city of Ventura were built before 1980, and the share is higher in Ojai (76 percent), Santa Paula (73 percent) and Port Hueneme (70 percent), according to the Census Bureau. Commercial, school and public buildings from the same decades hold the same materials. A.S.I. abates asbestos across the county, from Ventura and Oxnard to Ojai, Santa Paula, Camarillo and Thousand Oaks.
VCAPCD Rule 62.7: what is different in Ventura County
Ventura County has its own asbestos rule, and it is stricter than the federal standard most of California uses. Under Rule 62.7, the Ventura County Air Pollution Control District must be notified for any renovation involving 100 square feet or more of asbestos-containing material, rather than the federal 160 square feet or 260 linear feet, and for any demolition where asbestos is present. For non-residential buildings the notice must be postmarked or delivered at least 10 working days before work starts. For residential buildings of four units or fewer, the district must receive the notice before work begins, without the 10-day wait or a fee. Changes have their own deadlines: a delayed start needs notice five working days ahead, and a change of more than 20 percent in the quantity of asbestos needs a revised notice. When friable asbestos is being removed, the notice has to show the contractor's CSLB asbestos certification and Cal/OSHA registration numbers. Ours are CSLB 505321 (C-22 and ASB) and Cal/OSHA registration #004. We prepare and file the notices, and the district's notification fees, which start at $189.20, are listed in our estimate.

Clear & document
Independent air clearance and the paperwork your permit and your records need.
Fire rebuilds, the port and the farms
Ventura County has rebuilt after the Thomas, Woolsey and Mountain fires, and fire-damaged buildings often still contain asbestos in what is left standing. Surveys and careful removal matter before debris is cleared and rebuilding starts. The county's economy runs on agriculture and logistics. Strawberries and avocados lead a farm economy worth more than $2 billion a year, the Port of Hueneme moves bananas and produce through more than a million square feet of nearby cold storage, and Naval Base Ventura County is the county's largest employer. Older packing houses, warehouses and base buildings are common abatement jobs, and many of them need spray foam or cold storage insulation afterward, which we also do. Our portfolio includes work in Ventura and Ojai, and our crews travel the county regularly from Bakersfield.
Asbestos removal in Ventura County: questions.
What Ventura County owners and contractors ask us.
Do I need to notify VCAPCD for a residential remodel?
If the work involves 100 square feet or more of asbestos-containing material, yes. For buildings of four units or fewer, the district must receive the notice before work starts, without the 10-working-day wait or a fee. Owner-occupants doing their own work on a single-unit home are exempt.
How is Rule 62.7 different from other districts?
Its threshold is lower: 100 square feet of asbestos material, compared with 160 square feet or 260 linear feet under the federal rule that most other districts apply.
Is a survey required before demolition in Ventura County?
Yes. The district says a building must be surveyed to obtain a demolition permit, and demolitions need notice 10 working days ahead even when no asbestos is found.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Ventura?
It depends on the material, quantity, access and containment, plus the VCAPCD fee, which starts at $189.20 and rises with quantity. We give you a free itemized estimate.
Do you handle fire-damaged buildings?
Yes. Fire-damaged structures often still contain asbestos and should be surveyed before debris removal. We arrange the survey and handle the abatement.
Do you come to Ventura County from Bakersfield?
Yes, regularly. We schedule Ventura County jobs like any other and handle the district paperwork.
