Yes - We've seen a project acheive this credit under version 2.2 where an existing building being demolished for a new construction project contained asbestos. The probable presence of asbestos in a number of the existing building materials was identified with a Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment and confirmed by an Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM) survey. The abatement was carried out by a licensed contractor before demolition of the building.
