Each owner or operator of any source covered under the provisions of Rules 361.144 - 361.147 shall:

(a) Discharge no visible emissions to the outside air during the collection, processing (including incineration), packaging, or transporting of any asbestos-containing waste material generated by the source, or use one of the following emission control and waste treatment methods:
 

(1)     The owner or operator shall adequately wet asbestos containing material as follows:

(ii) Discharge no visible emissions to the outside air from collection, mixing, and wetting, and handling operations, or use the methods specified by Rule 361.152 to clean emissions containing particulate asbestos material before they escape to, or are vented to, the outside air; and

(iii) 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; and

(iv) Label the containers or wrapped materials specified in Subsection (a)(1)(iii) of this rule 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)(2) or 1926.58(k)(2)(iii).

(vi) The date transported.

(vii) The name, address, and telephone number of the transporter(s).

(2)     Provide a copy of the waste shipment record, described in Subsection (d)(1) of this rule, to the disposal site owners or operators at the same time as the asbestos-containing waste material is delivered to the disposal site.

(3)     For waste shipments where a copy of the waste shipment record, 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, contact the transporter and/or the owner or operator of the designated disposal site to determine the status of the waste shipment.
