Naturally Occurring Asbestos (NOA) is naturally found in California, particularly in serpentine and volcanic rock. When this rock is broken, it may release airborne asbestos, posing potential health risks.

If you plan to move more than 20 cubic yards of earth in an Asbestos Review Area(PDF, 7MB), you are required to submit an Asbestos Dust Mitigation Plan before you begin.
