RESIDENTIAL UNVERIFIED DEBRIS INVESTIGATION AND MITIGATION:
As a reminder, our inspection and mitigation teams are actively working through the residential neighborhoods.
If no one is home when they come to your residence, they will leave a door flyer with a QR code and
instructions on how to sign up for an appointment in the near future. We also encourage you to visit our Hangar
Incident website for daily updates and the latest information at www.tustinca.org. You may also contact us
through our call center at 714-426-2444.
THE SAMPLING & REMEDIATION PROCESS: If you have used the debris portal to report possible
hazardous debris items, this is a step-by-step process for how our teams will respond:
1. Your report will be assigned to a Certified Asbestos Consultant (CAC) who will contact you to setup a
time to visit your home or business.
2. *The CAC or Certified Site Surveillance Technician (CSST) will visit your home to collect a sample of
the debris and send it off -site for testing. You will be contacted to confirm whether the debris is Asbestos
Containing Material (ACM).
3. *If the debris tests positive for asbestos, an ACM remediation team will be assigned to return to your
home to clean-up the debris. Upon completion of the clean-up, a third team will return to your home or
business to confirm a successful remediation of the area.
4. You will be asked by the crew to sign a release of liability that only provides consent for the crews to
access your private property to investigate and remediate any suspected material.
• Please refer to the "Private Property Consent and Waiver Process" document located on the
Tustin Hangar homepage in the Daily Information Update section.
*PLEASE NOTE THAT STEPS 2 AND 3 MAYBE DONE SIMULTANEOUSLY
