Section 304 Waste Disposal

11-2-304 Waste Disposal: To prevent emissions from asbestos-containing material, a person responsible for the collection, processing (including incineration and conversion), packaging, transporting, or disposition of any asbestos-containing waste material which is generated by manufacturing, fabricating, scheduled, non-scheduled, or emergency demolition or renovation, whether notified or not; spraying operations or asbestos milling, shall use the following procedures:

304.1 The person responsible for any demolition, renovation or removal of RACM, or for any source other than an asbestos mill may elect to use either of the following disposal methods or an alternative disposal method which has received prior approval by the APCO:

304.1.1 Treatment of asbestos-containing waste material with water. Control device asbestos waste shall be thoroughly mixed with water into a slurry and other asbestos-containing waste material shall be adequately wetted and kept wet. There shall be no visible emissions to the outside air from the collection, mixing and wetting operations, except as permitted in Sections 11-2-110 and 11-2-302.1. After wetting, and while still wet, all asbestos-containing waste material shall be sealed into leak-tight containers prior to being removed from containment as specified in subsection 11-2-303.6. Such containers shall remain leak-tight and be deposited at waste disposal sites which are operated in accordance with the provisions of Section 11-2-304. The containers shall be labeled with the name of the waste generator and the location (address) from which the waste was generated prior to being removed from containment. Unless they are located within a contained area, glovebags are considered to be removed from containment when they are removed from the OSHA regulated area. Containers shall also include an asbestos warning label, as specified in Section 11-2-601. These labels must be printed in letters of sufficient size and contrast to be readily visible and legible.

304.1.2 Processing of asbestos-containing waste material into nonfriable forms. All asbestos-containing waste material shall be formed into nonfriable pellets or other shapes and deposited at waste disposal sites which are operated in accordance with this regulation. There shall be no visible emissions to the outside air from this collection and processing of asbestos-containing waste material except as permitted in Sections 11-2-110 and 11-2-302.1. For the purposes of this subsection, the therm "all asbestos-containing waste material" as applied to demolition and renovation operations covered by Section 11-2-303 includes only friable asbestos waste and control device asbestos waste.

304.1.3 Conversion of RACM and asbestos-containing waste material into nonasbestos (asbestos-free) material: Each owner or operator of a conversion operation shall comply with Sections 11-2-402 and 11-2-504 of this regulation.

304.2 Rather than meet the requirements of Section 11-2-304, the person responsible for an asbestos mill may elect to meet the following requirements or use an alternative disposal method which has received prior approval by the APCO:

304.2.1 There shall be no visible emissions to the outside air from the transfer of control-devise asbestos waste to the tailings conveyor, except as permitted in Sections 11-2-110 and 11-2-301.1. Such waste shall be subsequently processed in accordance with this Regulation.

304.2.2 All asbestos-containing waste material shall be adequately mixed with a wetting agent prior to disposition at a waste disposal site. Such wetting agent shall be used as recommended for the particular dust by the manufacturer of the agent. There shall be no visible emissions to the outside air from the wetting operation except as permitted in Sections 11-2-110 and 11-2-302.1. Wetting may be suspended when the ambient air temperature at the waste disposal site is less than -9.5 degrees C (15 degrees F). The ambient air temperature shall be determined by an appropriate measurement method with an accuracy of +1 degree C or +2 degrees F and recorded at least at hourly intervals during the period that the operation of the wetting system is suspended.

304.3 All asbestos-containing waste material shall be deposited at waste disposal sites operated in accordance with this Rule.

304.4 For demolitions where the RACM is not removed prior to demolition pursuant to subsection 11-2-303.11, the asbestos-containing waste material shall be kept adequately wetted at all times after demolition, during handling and loading and shall be sealed in leak-tight containers for transport to a disposal site.

 

304.5 All vehicles used to transport asbestos-containing waste material shall be marked as specified in Section 11-2-608 during the loading and unloading of waste. The signs shall be visible and shall be displayed in such a manner that a person can easily read the legend.

304.6 The owner of operator of all asbestos-containing waste material, generated as a result of demolition or renovation activities, which is transported off the facility site shall meet all of the following requirements:

304.6.1 Maintain a waste shipment record as specified in Section 11-2-502.

304.6.2 Provide a copy of the waste shipment record referenced in subsection 11-2-304-6.1 to the disposal site owner or operator at the same time the asbestos-containing waste material is delivered to the disposal site.

304.6.3 Contact the transporter and/or the owner or operator of the disposal site to determine the status of the waste shipment, if the waste shipment record referenced in subsection 11-2-304.6.1, signed by the owner or operator of the designated disposal site, is not received by the waste generator within 35 days of the date the waste was accepted by the initial transporter.

304.6.4 Provide a written report to the APCO if a copy of the waste shipment record referenced in subsection 11-2-304.6.1, signed by the owner or operator of the disposal site, is not received by the waste generator within 45 days of the date the waste was accepted by the initial transporter. The following information shall be included: A copy of the waste shipment record referenced in subsection 11-2-304.6.1 for which a confirmation of delivery was not received, and a letter signed by the waste generator explaining the efforts taken to locate the asbestos waste shipment and the results of those efforts.
