Introduction
An inspection pursuant to Section 114 of the CAA was conducted on November 2, 2023, at Chick-fil-A located at 1459 Riverstone Parkway in Canton, Georgia 30114 (the facility). The unannounced inspection was conducted by Pamela Storm who possesses EPA inspector credentials to conduct CAA NESHAP asbestos inspections.

The permit states that renovations are to include a new, dual-lane, overhead, drive-thru canopy; parallel, drive-thru cockpit expansion; replacement of the store-front with a sideaccess door; a new HVAC split system; modification of millwork at the service area and drive-thru; and demolition of the existing, single-lane, overhead, drive-thru canopy. The purpose of the inspection was to determine compliance with the CAA NESHAP Asbestos Standard and the regulations promulgated at 40 CFR Part 61, Subpart M, for the activity conducted at the facility.
The EPA Region 4 CAA NESHAP asbestos program targets facilities for inspection located in the State of Georgia based on tips/complaints; permits issued on a local level; demolition and/or renovation/abatement notices sent to the State; and other relevant information concerning renovation/demolition activities at regulated facilities.

Inspection
The EPA inspector met with Jeremy Lay, the supervisor at the site with Horizon Construction, upon arrival at the facility. The inspector presented her inspector credentials and explained that EPA was conducting the inspection of the aforementioned renovation/demolition activity for compliance with the Asbestos NESHAP.
Jeremy Lay explained that the Facility was built in 2020 so "asbestos should not be a concern." The EPA inspector explained the 61.145(a) thorough inspection requirement of the Asbestos NESHAP and stated that such inspection was required prior to renovation/demolition activity regardless of the age of the Facility. Jeremy Lay asked what types of building materials could contain asbestos today and inquired as to how contractors were supposed to be aware of the Asbestos NESHAP requirements if the building departments did not tell the contractor about the requirements. The EPA inspector explained the limited ban on asbestos-containing materials. Jeremy Lay stated that he was not aware of when activities began at the site and asked the EPA inspector to contact Dave Roberts (205-240-4406), the project manager, if she had any further questions.
Land disturbance was occurring at the time of this inspection with concrete in the parking lot being broken.
Conclusion
The inspector will follow up with the owners/operators of the facility and the renovation/demolition activity, as deemed appropriate, to obtain information and necessary paperwork related to this activity. This information will include, but not necessarily be limited to, copies of asbestos inspection reports, notifications, and waste shipment records for the facility.
