About Lilac City Abatement
Lilac City Abatement is a Spokane resource, not a contractor. Most property owners meet Spokane County's asbestos rules for the first time in the middle of a remodel, a sale or a loss, and the rules are specific and the fees fixed. The site lays out the sequence -- survey, Notice of Intent, certified removal, clearance, disposal -- in the order Spokane Clean Air and Washington L&I set it. When an owner is ready, the quote form routes the job to an abatement contractor certified under Chapter 296-65 WAC, and the owner gets back a written scope that itemizes survey, NOI fee tier, containment, removal and disposal. L&I's Verify a Contractor tool is the public check on that certification.
It is written for the people who run into the rule: the owner of a 1950s ranch in Spokane Valley with a popcorn ceiling, the landlord in Cheney whose turnover means a certified contractor by rule, the buyer of a pre-1939 house in Browne's Addition with wrapped basement pipes, the commercial owner planning a tenant improvement in the Garland District, and the households in the burn areas working through the county's debris rules. It is not written to alarm anyone. EPA's guidance is that material in good condition that will not be disturbed should be left alone. This site says the same, and explains what to do when disturbing it is the plan.
