|
Latest version.
|
|
(1) If special wastes are accepted at the facility, proper provisions shall be made for handling and disposal. These provisions may include, where required and approved by the Director, a separate area for disposal of the wastes, designated by appropriate signs.

| R315-315-2. Asbestos Waste |
|
Latest version.
|
|
(1) Regulated asbestos-containing material to be disposed of shall be handled, transported, and disposed in a manner that will not permit the release of asbestos fibers into the air and must otherwise comply with Code of Federal Regulations, Title 40, Part 61, Section 154. (2) No transporter or disposal facility shall accept regulated asbestos-containing material unless the waste has been adequately wetted and containerized. (a) Regulated asbestos-containing material is adequately wetted when its moisture content prevents fiber release. (b) Regulated asbestos-containing material is properly containerized when it is placed in double plastic bags of 6-mil or thicker, sealed in such a way to be leak-proof and air-tight, and the amount of void space or air in the bags is minimized. Regulated asbestos-containing material slurries must be packaged in leak-proof and air-tight rigid containers if such slurries are too heavy for the plastic bag containers. Upon submittal of a request, including documentation demonstrating safety, the Director may authorize other proper methods of containment which may include double bagging, plastic-lined cardboard containers, plastic-lined metal containers, or the use of vacuum trucks for the transport of slurry. (c) All containers holding regulated asbestos-containing material shall be labeled with the name of the waste generator, the location where the waste was generated, and tagged with a warning label indicating that the containers hold regulated asbestos-containing material. (3) The following standards apply to the disposal of Regulated Asbestos-Containing Material; (a) upon entering the disposal site, the transporter of the regulated asbestos-containing material shall notify the landfill operator that the load contains regulated asbestos-containing material by presenting the waste shipment record. The landfill operator will verify quantities received, sign off on the waste shipment record, and send a copy of the waste shipment record to the generator within 30 days; (b) upon receipt of the regulated asbestos-containing material, the landfill operator shall inspect the loads to verify that the regulated asbestos-containing material is properly contained in leak-proof containers and labeled appropriately. The operator shall notify the local health department and the Director if the operator believes that the regulated asbestos-containing material is in a condition that may cause fiber release during disposal. If the wastes are not properly containerized, and the landfill operator accepts the load, the operator shall thoroughly soak the regulated asbestos-containing material with a water spray prior to unloading, rinse out the truck, and immediately cover the regulated asbestos-containing material with material which prevents fiber release prior to compacting the regulated asbestos-containing material in the landfill. (c) During deposition and covering of the regulated asbestos-containing material, the operator: (i) may prepare a separate trench or separate area of the landfill to receive only regulated asbestos-containing material, or may dispose of the regulated asbestos-containing material at the working face of the landfill; (ii) shall place the regulated asbestos-containing material containers into the trench, separate area, or at the bottom of the landfill working face with sufficient care to avoid breaking the containers; (iii) within 18 hours or at the end of the operating day, shall completely cover the containerized regulated asbestos-containing material with sufficient care to avoid breaking the containers with a minimum of six inches of material containing no regulated asbestos-containing material. If the regulated asbestos-containing material is improperly containerized, it must be completely covered immediately with six inches of material containing no regulated asbestos-containing material; and (iv) shall not compact regulated asbestos-containing material until completely covered with a minimum of six inches of material containing no regulated asbestos-containing material. (d) The operator shall provide barriers adequate to control public access. At a minimum, the operator shall: (i) limit access to the regulated asbestos-containing material management site to no more than two entrances by gates that can be locked when left unattended and by fencing adequate to restrict access by the general public; and (ii) place warning signs at the entrances and at intervals no greater than 330 feet along the perimeter of the sections where regulated asbestos-containing material is deposited that comply with the requirements of 40 CFR 61.154(b); and (e) close the separate trenches, if constructed, according to the requirements of Subsection R315-303-3(4) with the required signs in place. |

(2) Dead animals may be disposed at the active working face of a permitted landfill or in a separate trench, at a permitted facility, specifically prepared to receive dead animals. (a) If dead animals are disposed at the active working face of a permitted landfill, the carcasses shall be immediately covered with a minimum of two feet of soil other material. (b) If dead animals are disposed in a separate trench, at a permitted facility, the carcasses shall be completely covered with a minimum of six inches of earth at the end of the working day the carcasses are received. |
