Currentness
Each owner or operator of a facility shall dispose of RACM from all demolitions and all renovations involving projects of at least 80 linear meters (260 linear feet) on pipes or at least 15 square meters (160 square feet) on other facility components, or at least 1 cubic meter (35 cubic feet) where the length could not be measured previously in a manner to comply with the following work procedures. As applied to demolitions and renovations, the requirements of this section do not apply to category I nonfriable ACM waste and category II nonfriable ACM waste that did not become crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder.
(A) No visible emissions may be discharged to the outside air during the collection, packaging, transporting, treatment (including incineration), or disposal process of any asbestos-containing waste material generated by the source, or use one of the following emission control and waste treatment methods specified in this section:
(1) Adequately wet asbestos-containing waste material as follows:
(a) Mix asbestos waste from a control device to form a slurry; adequately wet other asbestos-containing waste material;
(b) Use the methods specified in this rule to clean emissions containing particulate asbestos material before they escape to, or are vented to, the outside air;
(c) After wetting, seal all asbestos-containing waste material in leak-tight containers while wet; or, for materials that will not fit into containers without additional breaking, put materials into leak-tight wrapping;
(2) Process asbestos-containing waste material into nonfriable forms as follows:
(a) Form all asbestos-containing waste material into nonfriable pellets or other shapes; and
(b) Discharge no visible emissions to the outside air from collection and processing operations, including incineration, or use the method provided for in this rule to clean emissions containing particulate asbestos material before they escape to or are vented to the outside air.
(3) For facilities demolished where the RACM is not removed prior to demolition as provided in this rule, asbestos-containing material shall be adequately wetted at all times during and after demolition and kept wet during handling and loading for transport to a disposal site. Asbestos-containing waste materials covered by this paragraph must be shipped via leak-tight containers, wrapping, or bulk shipping device.
(4) Use an alternative emission control and waste treatment method that has received prior approval by the Director as provided in this rule.
(B) Label the containers or wrapped materials specified in this section using warning labels specified by Occupational Safety and Health Standards of the Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) under 29 CFR 1910.1001(j)(4) or 1926.1101(k)(8), as of December 12, 2008. The labels shall be printed in letters of sufficient size and contrast so as to be readily visible and legible;
(C) For asbestos-containing waste material to be transported off the facility site, label containers or wrapped materials with the name of the waste generator and the location at which the waste was generated and comply with all applicable Department of Transportation (DOT) requirements;
(D) All asbestos-containing waste material shall be deposited as soon as is practical by the waste generator at a disposal site approved to accept asbestos-containing waste material and that meets the requirements of NESHAP or an EPA approved site that converts RACM and asbestos-containing waste material into nonasbestos (asbestos-free) material according to the provisions of 40 CFR Part 61 as in effect December 14, 2000.
(E) Mark vehicles used to transport asbestos-containing waste material during the loading and unloading of waste so that signs are visible. The markings must conform to the requirements specified in Rule 21.1001(B)(3).
(F) For all asbestos-containing waste material transported off the facility site a copy of a waste shipment paper, signed by the generator and transporter(s), shall accompany the shipment of asbestos-containing waste material.
