New laws add fees and bring new notification platform to asbestos work

New Michigan asbestos laws will take effect on April 2, 2025.  To support this change, the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy’s Air Quality Division will transition the submittal of the Notification of Intent to Renovate/Demolish form to a new online platform, MiEnviro Portal (MiEnviro) at the end of March 2025. 

New asbestos fee

The new laws enhance public safety and health by further managing asbestos-related activities. Demolition and removal activities will now have associated fees.  Owners or operators submitting a notice of intention for asbestos removal or demolition must pay a $100 notification fee and a $10 modification fee for each notification revision. Fees must be paid electronically and will be paid through MiEnviro. 

New notification platform

MiEnviro will launch for asbestos users at the end of March 2025. The portal will replace the current Asbestos Notification System (ANS) for required notifications. Fees associated with notifications will be collected through MiEnviro.  

• More information: Key dates, guidance on accessing MiEnviro, and other important information regarding the transition from ANS to MiEnviro will be communicated in the coming weeks.

• Training:  Stay tuned for information on upcoming training sessions.  Proper training will ensure that you can utilize the MiEnviro to its fullest potential.
