A GUIDE TO THE ASBESTOS NESHAP AS REVISED NOVEMBER 1990
INTRODUCTION
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), under the requirements set forth by the Clean Air Act (CAA) of 1971, Is required to develop and enforce regulations necessary to protect the general public from exposure to air pollutants that are known to be hazardous to human health. The specific authority of EPA regarding asbestos is listed under Section 112 of the CAA entitled "National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants" (NESHAP). The particular standard, that addresses asbestos Is contained In Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (40 CFR) Part 61, Subpart M.
These regulations generally specify emission control requirements for the milling, manufacturing and fabricating of asbestos, for activities associated with the demolition and renovation of asbestos-containing buildings, and for the handling and disposal of asbestos-containing waste material. The major intention of the regulations Is to minimize the release of asbestos fibers during all activities Involving the handling and processing of asbestos and asbestos-containing material.
SOURCES UNDER SUBPART M
The following activities are regulated by the Asbestos NESHAP Regulations:
Asbestos milling (61.142);
Roadway surfacing with asbestos-containing material (61.143);
Manufacture of products using commercial asbestos (61.144);
Demolition and/or renovation of facilities with asbestos-containing material (61.145);
Spraying of asbestos-containing material (61.146);
Fabrication of products containing commercial asbestos (61.147);
Use of Insulating materials that contain commercial asbestos (61.148);
Waste disposal for asbestos milling (61.149);
Disposal of asbestos-containing waste generated during manufacturing, demolition, renovation, spraying, and fabricating operations (61.150);
Closure and maintenance of inactive waste disposal sites (61.151);
Design and operation of air cleaning devices (61.152);
Reporting of information pertaining to process control equipment, filter devices, processes that generate asbestos waste, etc. (61.153);
Operations at active waste disposal sites (61.154); and
Operations and reporting for facilities that convert asbestoscontaining waste material Into nonasbestos (asbestos-free) material (61.155).
REGULATORY HISTORY OF THE ASBESTOS NESHAP
The Asbestos NESHAP regulation has been In existence since 1973 and has been amended several times. The following Is a summary of the main provisions contained In the original stipulations and subsequent revisions:
March 31, 1971 - Asbestos listed as a hazardous air pollutant under Section 112.
April 6, 1973 - Original promulgation developed regulations for:
- Asbestos mills and manufacturing sources; - Asbestos-containing spray-on materials; - Use of tailings In roadways; - Demolition of buildings containing friable asbestos-containing
fireproofing and Insulating material; - The spraying of asbestos-containing materials on buildings and
structures for fireproofing and Insulating purposes.
May 3, 1974 - Regulations were revised to Include:
- Addition of clarifying definitions; - Clarification of demolition provisions; - Clarification of the no visible emission standard to exclude
condensed uncombined water vapor.
October 14, 1975 - Substantial changes were made including:
- Addition of fabricators; - Inclusion of renovation projects as regulated activities; - Prohibition of the use of wet applied and molded Insulation (1.e.,
pipe lagging); - Expansion of the scope of the regulation to cover asbestos-
containing waste handling and disposal; - Inclusion of Inactive waste disposal sites that were operated by
milling, manufacturing, and fabricating sources.
March 2, 1977 - Minor changes, mostly addressing definitions.
June 19, 1978 - Important changes made Include;
- Expansion of the coverage of spraying restriction to prohibit application of asbestos-containing materials for decorative purposes;
2
*
- Adoption of provisions to exempt bitumen- or resin-based (l.e., contains material such as tar or asphalt) materials from the spraying restrictions;
- Repromulgation of certain work practice provisions. April 5, 1984 - Repromulgation to make sure that work practice
standards could be enforced. In 1978, the United States Supreme Court ruled that EPA's authority to enforce emission standards under the CAA of 1970 did not extend to work practice standards. The CAA Amendments of 1977 gave EPA clear authority to enforce work practice standards. By repromulgating the standard, EPA removed any doubt that the work practice standards could be enforced. The standard was also reorganized and clarified, and placed In Subpart M. October 1990 - Promulgated revisions to clarify standard, promote compliance, and aid enforcement, Including: - Requirements for milling, manufacturing, and fabricating to monitor
and Inspect control devices and keep records of monitoring activities; - Renotification requirements and other clarifying revisions for demolition and renovation; and - Requirements to keep records of waste shipments and waste disposal.
GUIDELINES The following chapters explain what emission sources are covered by the asbestos NESHAP and what the requirements are for these sources. There Is a separate chapter for each section of the regulation. The corresponding sectlon(s) of the regulation are shown In brackets after each chapter heading and major sub-heading (except for definitions). This guide may not In any way be Interpreted to alter or replace the coverage or requirements of Subpart M.

PROCEDURES FOR ASBESTOS EMISSIONS CONTROL [61.145(c)]
Removal of Asbestos-Containing Material
All regulated asbestos-containing materials must be removed from a facility being demolished or renovated before any activities are carried out that would break up, dislodge or similarly disturb the materials or preclude access to the materials for subsequent removal.
Exceptions From Removal
Regulated asbestos-containing materials do not need to be removed before demolition If:
The material consists of Category I nonfrlable asbestos-containing materials such as packing, gaskets, asphalt roofing, and vinyl floor tile, which Is not In poor condition and Is not friable; or
The material Is on a facility component that Is encased In concrete or other similarly hard material and Is adequately wet whenever exposed during demolition; or
The material was not accessible for testing and was not discovered until after demolition began and, as a result of the demolition, the material cannot be safely removed. If not removed for safety reasons, the exposed material and any asbestos contaminated debris must be treated as asbestos-containing waste material and adequately wet at all times until final disposal; or
The materials are Category II nonfrlable asbestos-containing materials that are unlikely to become crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder during demolition.
Removal of Units or Sections
When a facility component that contains regulated asbestos-containing materials or that is covered or coated with regulated asbestos-containing materials Is being taken out of the facility as a unit or In sections, removal must adhere to the following procedures:
7
Adequately wet any regulated asbestos-containing materials exposed during cutting or disjoining (l.e., separating or detaching) operations; and
Carefully lower the units or sections to the floor or to ground level without dropping, throwing, sliding or otherwise damaging or disturbing the regulated asbestos-containing material.
Stripping Regulated Asbestos-Containing Material From Facility Components Within a Facility
When regulated asbestos-containing material Is stripped from facility components while they remain in place within a facility, the regulated asbestos-containing material must be adequately wet during the stripping operation.
Stripping Regulated Asbestos-Containing Material from Facility Components that Have Been Taken Out as Units or Sections
When facility components that are covered, coated, or contain regulated asbestos-containing materials are removed from a facility as a unit or In sections, the components must be contained In leak-tight wrapping or the regulated asbestos-containing material must be stripped. If regulated asbestos-containing material is stripped from these components, the following procedures must be used:
Adequately wet the regulated asbestos-containing material during stripping; or
Use a local exhaust ventilation and collection system designed and operated to capture the particulate asbestos materials produced by the stripping;
- The local exhaust system must exhibit no visible emissions to the outside air; or
- The system must be designed and operated In accordance with the requirements contained In Air Cleaning (61.152).
Exception From Stripping Regulated Asbestos-Containing Material from Facility Components that Have Been Taken Out as Units or Sections
Stripping of asbestos Is not required If the unit or section Is a large facility component (excluding beams) such as reactor vessels, large tanks,t and steam generators, and the following conditions are met:
The component can be removed, transported, stored, and reused without disturbing or damaging the asbestos; and
The component is encased in a leak-tight wrapping that Is labeled In accordance with the legend given below during all loading and unloading operations and during storage.

- Spacing between the lines should be at least equal to the height of the upper two lines.
Regulated Asbestos-Containing Materials that Have Been Removed or Stripped
All asbestos-containing materials, Including those that have been removed or stripped must be handled as follows:
Materials must be adequately wet to ensure that they will remain wet until they are collected and contained or treated In preparation for disposal In accordance with the Standard for Waste Disposal for Demolition and Renovation (61.150); and
Materials must be carefully lowered to the ground or a lower floor without dropping, throwing, sliding, or otherwise damaging them; and
Materials must be transported to the ground via leak-tight chutes or containers If they have been removed or stripped more than 50 feet above the ground level and were not removed as units or sections.
Exceptions from Wetting
Wetting of regulated asbestos-containing material Is not required In the following situations:
In a renovation where the Administrator has determined that wetting would unavoidably damage equipment or present a safety hazard and one of the following emission control methods Is employed:
- A local exhaust ventilation and collection system to catch the particulate asbestos material; the system must exhibit no visible emissions to the outside air or must be designed and operated In accordance with the requirements contained In Air Cleaning (61.152); or
- A glove-bag system to contain the particulate asbestos material; or - A leak-tight wrapping to contain all asbestos-containing material
prior to dismantlement; or - Other equivalent methods for which approval has been received from
the Administrator based on a determination that It Is equivalent to wetting as a means of controlling asbestos emissions.
9
I
- If an equivalent alternative Is used, a copy of the Administrator's written approval shall be kept at the worksite and available for Inspection.
Regulated asbestos-containing materials contained In leak tight wrapping that have been removed In accordance with the paragraphs on "stripping regulated asbestos-containing material from facility components that have been taken out as units or sections" on page 8, and "exception from wetting" for renovations, on page 4, need not be wetted.
When the temperature Is below freezing at the point of removal. In these cases the owner or operator should:
- Remove facility components coated or covered with asbestoscontaining materials as units or In sections to the maximum extent possible; and
- During periods when wetting operations are suspended due to freezing temperature, the owner or operator must record the temperature at the beginning, middle, and end of each work day; and
- Keep dally temperature records available during normal business hours for the Administrator's Inspection. The records should be kept at the demolition or renovation site and the owner or operator should retain them for at least 2 years.
Training for Handling of Regulated Asbestos-Containing Material (Effective 1 year After Promulgation)
All asbestos-containing material shall be stripped, removed, and otherwise handled by an owner or operator of a demolition or renovation activity with at least one on-site representative trained In the provisions of this regulation and the means of complying with them. The minimum training will Include:
