Asbestos containing waste material (ACWM), as defined in Section III, shall be handled <br />and disposed of pursuant to 40 CFR Part 61, Chapter 173-303 WAC, and Chapter 296-65 WAC as <br />these regulations are amended. <br />b. Removal. Persons removing ACWM shall contact Washington State Department of Labor and <br />Industries for information and instruction concerning removal and disposal. <br />Labor and Industries ACWM must be wetted down during removal to reduce airborne emissions of <br />particulate matter. ACWM shall be sealed into leak tight containers or double bagged in <br />polyethylene bags with a combined six (6) mils thickness or greater and identified with the proper <br />warning label as per 296-62-07723 WAC. <br />Floor tile, roofing material, packing, and gaskets (normally nonfriable `Asbestos Containing <br />Material (ACM)) must be inspected by an inspector accredited in Washington State to inspect for <br />Asbestos, before demolition to determine if the ACM is in poor condition, indicated by peeling, <br />cracking, or crumbling of the material. If normally nonfriable ACM is in poor condition, then the <br />material must be tested for friability. If the ACM is friable, it must be handled in accordance with <br />the NESHAP. The above four nonfiable ACM should be removed before demolition only if they <br />are in poor condition and are friable. <br />If the nonfriable ACM is subjected to sanding, grinding, or abrading as part of demolition or <br />renovation, then the nonfriable ACM must be handled in accordance with the NESHAP. If a <br />building is demolished by burning, all ACM must be removed prior to the demolition. <br />c. Disposal. Generators of ACWM shall contact Kittitas County Solid Waste Programs prior to <br />disposal at the Kittitas County Asbestos Site 24 hours prior to disposal of ACM. The ACM shall be <br />disposed of in accordance with 40 CFR Part 61 and the approved plan under Section VI.B.1.c.(4), <br />and covered with at least fifteen centimeters (6 inches) of non-asbestos containing waste material <br />immediately following disposal.. <br />4.
