What is one characteristic of minor asbestos projects?

Involves extensive air quality testing
Less than or equal to 25 LF or 10 SF
Requires a large team of monitors
Involves long-term exposure management plan

The correct answer is: Less than or equal to 25 LF or 10 SF

Minor asbestos projects are specifically defined by the size of the material being worked with. The characteristic that denotes a project as minor is that it involves the removal or disturbance of asbestos-containing materials that do not exceed certain thresholds, which are less than or equal to 25 linear feet (LF) or 10 square feet (SF). This classification makes it easier for regulators to differentiate between minor and major asbestos abatement operations, allowing for a streamlined response in managing these hazards. In this context, the other options do not apply to minor asbestos projects. Extensive air quality testing is typically reserved for more significant projects where there is a higher potential for airborne asbestos fibers due to larger amounts of material being disturbed. A large team of monitors is essential for more complex projects that have a higher risk and require constant oversight. Lastly, a long-term exposure management plan is generally required for more extensive and hazardous operations, rather than minor projects that are limited in scope and risk.
