INTRODUCTION This document presents a Work Plan prepared by Research Triangle Institute (RTI) for Phase I, Review of Asbestos Standard* as required by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Contract Number 68-02-3056, "New Source Performance Standards and National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants."'*' The result of this review will be a recommendation to revise or not to revise the current standard. If the decision is made to revise the existing standard, a separate work plan will be developed. Thus, the work to be performed under this contract is as follows: Phase I: Review of Asbestos Standard Phase II: Revision of the Asbestos Standard (contingent upon Phase I results). In the event that a revision of.the current standard is found to be necessary, information collected in Phase I will provide much of the basis for Phase II. A Background Information Document (BID) will be prepared during Phase II and will provide background information to support the revision of the asbestos standard. Because there are no published procedures for the review (and revision) of existing National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP), this Work Plan was developed based on discussions with the EPA Lead Engineer and adaptation of the procedures outlined in the Contractor Procedures Manual for Development of National Emission Standards. *The current asbestos standard was promulgated in 40 CFR 61, Subpart 8. tAs a review of a National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants, the proposed work and schedule for Phase I of this study differs from that normally performed during the Phase I work for New Source Performance Standards. 1 i CAPCO JEN 0004-84.2 II OBJECTIVES AND SCOPE OF WORK The sources regulated by the current asbestos standard include asbestos mills, roadways, manufacturing, demolition and renovation, spraying, fabricating, insulating, and waste disposal. The purpose of Phase I is to review the standard, regulating asbestos emissions from these sources, determine its adequacy, and gather information that will assist in revising the standard if a revision is recommended. A recommendation to revise or not to revise the standard will be based upon the following: Control Technology: Standards for air cleaning equipment and work . practices now specified will be reviewed. Information will be collected on improvements in control equipment and work practices that have occurred since promulgation of the current standard, as well as the feasibility of substitutes and control technologies under development. Data collected .on control technology during Phase I will serve as the basis for determining Best Available Control Technology (BACT) during the Phase II study if a revision of the standard is recommended. Emission Sampling and Analysis:' Routine, standardized techniques for sampling and analyzing asbestos emissions were not available during promulgation of the current standard. Thus, numerical emission limitations are not included in the existing standard. Recent information on sampling and analysis will be collected and assessed for its applicability for monitoring asbestos emissions from sources identified in the existing standard. Advantages- and disadvantages of the various measurement methods will be discussed from the viewpoint of establishing numerical emission standards. Health Risks: Recent data on health risks (including asbestosis, bronchogenic cancer, and mesothelioma) associated with exposure to airborne asbestos will be reviewed. Information relating asbestos-linked disease and asbestos concentrations commonly encountered in ambient air will be important in determining the need for numerical emission limits and the value at which limits should be set. EPA will supply RTI with any dose-response data or other quantitative data that may be required for the establishment of . numerical emission limits. - Enforcement of the Standard: Enforcement experience with the existing asbestos standard will be evaluated in order to identify problem areas. Lack of compliance or inability to enforce certain provisions may result in a recommendation to revise the standard. 2 i. CAPCO JEN 0004-843  Emission Sources: Emission sources regulated by the current standard will be reviewed, and an attempt will be made to determine if there are additional important sources of asbestos emissions that should be included in the standard. III. PLAN FOR PERFORMANCE The approach that RTI will take in the Phase I review of the existing asbestos standard is presented here. Nine tasks (shown in Figure 1) are envisioned as necessary for an adequate review of-the standard and are discussed below. Project participants and total hours of participation are shown in Figure 2, Project Organization Chart. Resumes of major project participants are in Appendix 1 of this work plan. The schedule and milestone are presented in Figure 1,,while Table I shows dollar and manhour expenditures for the Phase I study. It is expected that Phase I, Review of Asbestos Standard, will require 10.5 months^to complete. The date of completion is set at August 28, 1981. A. Task 1: Review Background Information for Existing Standard In evaluating the need to revise the existing standard, RTI will assemble and establish a docket of the background information that provided the basis for the standard. This information will be reviewed to aid RTI in evaluating events occurring since promulgation of the standard. Furthermore, such an exercise will.identify potential sources of information. Finally, a review, of r the background information wil.l identify any areas of inadequacies in the current standard which may or may not be amenable to revision. RTI will review published EPA documents, including the following: * Background Information - Proposed National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Asbestos, Beryllium, Mercury (APTD-0753), ' December 1971. 3 i CAPCO JEN 0004844  Background Information Development of National Emission Standards for Hazardous Atr Pollutants: Asbestos, Beryllium,, and Mercury (APTD-1503), March 1973. Background Information on National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants - Proposed Amendments to Standards for Asbestos and Mercury (EPA-450/2-74-009a), October 1974. * Preambles to national emission-standards and amendments for asbestos. Key EPA personnel that participated in the development of the current standard will be identified and interviewed. RTI will ask to examine their files on asbestos in order to assemble pertinent data. During the examination of EPA's earlier background material, information sources outside of EPA may be identified. These might include other government agencies, industry associations and unions, individual companies within the asbestos industry, and control equipment vendors. These sources will be contacted as it is deemed necessary. B. Task 2. On-site Investigations In order-for RTI staff to evaluate processes, facilities, emission problems, and control techniques involved in asbestos-related industries, RTI plans to make several on-site investigations or plant trips. Information gathered during site visits will also assist in determining which sites are suitable for emission testing it if is determined later that emission testing is required. Because of the variety of sources, RTI plans to limit to a maximum of two, the number of visits made to each type of source. In the case T of the asbestos-'manufacturing industry, the diversity of processes requires that at least twelve plant visits be made. The sites listed below, with anticipated dates of visits, will be contacted to schedule visits following 4 i CAPCO JEN 0004845 approval of this work plan.* If these visits cannot be scheduled, alternates will be selected in consultation with the Lead Engineer.

Information on enforcement of the current standard will be obtained during meetings with regional EPA personnel. C. Task 3. Data Collection In Task"3, data collection and analysis will begin. Data will be elicited from numerous areas. Initially, a literature search will be performed through the library facilities of EPA in the Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. Additionally, interviews and telephone contacts will be made * The location is that of the company office. Due to the temporary nature of the work, specific locations for site visits will be determined at a time closer to the dates given. 6 i CAPCO JEN 0004.847 with trade and worker associations, vendors of control equipment, companies within the asbestos industries, and government agencies.

Relevant information will then be compiled and subject to analysis as discussed in Task 4. D. Task 4. Data Analysis Collected data will be analyzed by RTI in order to help assess the need to revise the current standard. The analysis will attempt to determine the following: Control Technology Available technology Technology currently in use Effectiveness of existing controls Current asbestos emissions Availability and feasibility of alternate control, including technology transfer Feasibility of substitutes Emission sources not amenable to controls Control technology in the foreseeable future ( Costs associated with control technology Sampling and Analysis Available methodology Advantages and disadvantages of various methods Avpilablity of routine, standardized method for compliance purposes Costs of sampling and analysis Health Risks Human dose-response data (to be supplied by EPA) Enforcement of the Standard Federal experience with enforcement Extent and approach of State enforcement 9 i- CAPCO JEN 0004350 Emissions Sources Sources not covered by the existing standard Significance of emissions Use of controls Need for regulatory control Industry Growth Historical growth pattern Expected growth pattern E. Task 5. EPA Review The results of the above analysis will be reviewed by EPA. RTI will meet with EPA to discuss its review and determine where there are additional data needs. The need to revise the standard will be discussed in light of the existing data. If at this stage RTI and EPA agree that it is likely that a revision of the standard is necessary, RTI will initiate appropriate actions to revise the standard, including identification of emission sources, selection of sites to be visited, contact with selected companies, and preparation of Section 114 letters to be sent to selected companies. Initiation of these steps prior to completion of the Phase I review is important in view' of the time usually required to arrange plant visits and obtain information from companies. The appropriate EPA Regional enforcement offices will be informed of the tentative plans to visit plants in their Region. All of these actions will be '4 - t coordinated closely with the Lead Engineer. F. Task 6. Final Data Analysis and Recommendation Regarding Standard An attempt will be made to rectify any omissions of data identified during Task 5. A report will be prepared, which will include a discussion of the findings on control technology, sampling and analysis, health risks, enforcement experience, and emission sources. The report will include a 10 CAPCO JEN 0004851 recommendation to support or forgo revision of the current standard. If a revision is recommended, the parts of the standard requiring modification will be identified, and the extent of the required revision will be determined. G. Task 7. Incorporate EPA Comments The Phase I report will be submitted to EPA for review and comments. RTI will incorporate these comments into the report. H. Task 8. WorK Plan for Phase II. Revision of theAsbestosStandard If a revision of the standard isreconmended, a work planfor Phase II will be developed. The Phase II Work Plan will detail the approach that RTI will take in revising the standard, including the level of effort required in developing a BID in support of the revision. I. Task 9. Project Documentation Throughout the review of the standard, RTI will maintain a project Docket. During development of the existing asbestos standard, a formal docket was not maintained due to the absence of regulations requiring a docket. Therefore, RTI will incorporate all of the available information that was collected during the development of the existing standard, in addition to more recent information, into the Docket for review of the standard. Information collected by RTI and data submitted by EPA will be included in the Docket in accordance with guidelines from the EPA Lead Engineer. Items to be entered into the Docket will be labeled, filed, and indexed identifying items included in the Docket. The index (to be current to within about 3 weeks) will be submitted monthly to the Lead Engineer. A copy will also be sent to Midwest Resarch Institute (MRI), Raleigh, North Carolina, which is currently performing an analysis for EPA on asbestos emissions from the surfacing of roadways. Similarly, MRI will provide RTI with a copy of its asbestos Docket index. 11 CAPCO JEN 0004852 CAPCO JEN 0004.853 Figure 1. .Project Task Plan and Milestones fo r Phase I 4-3 03 U 4-> 03 3 JO 4-3 X- 03 -M SC CO c I-- DC 03 03 *-- cn o> xco 03 03 Ur- CO 4-> jc e O 03 u *a *0 *-- 03 tO CO 03 03 Xa: a. - o. 3 o SCD _i to 03 o IS 0--3 o -C 1--*J CD U 4J O c 03 E c co o L* t- *"o > c* UJ T3 C *3 CD C 03 cn^X_J c to ts-- 0u3 03 Q. 03 1 C 03 F- (J C7)^_ WC >w ' k O>>) s_ 03 c LlJ to x3 o JZ CNt r* to *> r-- f-- O 3T=~ to f-- to ^ >> rs US <c * L.

Data collected in Task 4. Data Collection will be examined for information on asbestos emissions, including atmospheric levels of asbestos. If data on asbestos emissions are considered to be inadequate, RTI proposes two alternatives for obtaining emission data. Alternative one consists of utilizing ongoing or proposed EPA research, which includes asbestos sampling in the scope of research work. Specifically, . RTI may be able to utilize.data that are generated as part of a proposed multiagency (e.g., NIOSH, EPA) - asbestos industry research project, "The Environmental Research Program Plan for Asbestos." The Industrial Environmental Research Laboratory - Cincinnati (IERL-Ci) is responsible for organizing the asbestos research program which will encompass three areas of study, including an industrial survey, fugitive emissions, and use and disposal of conmercial projects. The details of the program are being . prepared in a proposal by III Research Institute. RTI will review the proposal and will determine, in consultation with the Lead Engineer, the feasibility Of'utilizing the proposed research to obtain the necessary data on f asbestos emissions. This will be determined at the earliest feasible time. If emissions data are not available through the asbestos research program described above, RTI will, as the second alternative, examine the feasibility of developing its own emission measurement program using the procedure given in EPA's Contractor Procedures Manual for Development of National Emission Standards, 3.2.6, Emission Measurement Program. Briefly, this entails the CAPCO JEN 0004-860 preparation of a Source Test Plan by RTI to be reviewed by the Emission Measurement Branch (EMB) for technical feasiblity, time needed for method devlopment, resources, and other relevant items. EMB then submits its comments on the adequacy of the Source Test Plan to the Lead Engineer. Presently there are no EPA reference methods for either emission sampling or atmospheric sampling of asbestos (a method for the sampling and measurement of airborne asbestos has been proposed*). Therefore, any asbestos sampling must be preceded by the development of test methods. This will require the efforts of and cooperation between EMB and the Office of Research and Development. A limited number of emission tests will be performed in Phase I, the purpose being support for the feasibility assessment of emission testing as well as the establishment of a numerical emission limitation. RTI, in consultation with the Lead Engineer, will select three or four sites for testing. Because emission testing by RTI is one alternative for obtaining emission data and may not be required, the additional costs of emission testing are estimated here and are not included in the costs in Table I. The costs shown here represent the cost of developing a Source Test Plan, the cost' of arranging for the source tests, the cost of pretest survey trips, and the cost of trips to test sites for observation of emission sampling. Furthermore, the inclusion of emission testing in Phase I will likely require an extension of the Phase I schedule due to the time necessary to prepare a Source Test Plan, arrange and make pretest site surveys, sample (estimated at one week minimum * Electron Microscope Measurement of Airborne Asbestos Concentrations: A Provisional Methodology Manual, EPA-600-2-77-178, Revised June 1978. i 2-2 CAPCO JEN 0004861 per site), and analyze emissions.
