SUBJECT: FINAL RULE AMENDING THE "NATIONAL EMISSION STANDARD FOR HAZARDOUS AIR POLLUTANTS" (NESHAP) FOR ASBESTOS
$11,57 s
PLAINTIFF'S EXHIBIT
AFFECTED LOCATIONS
This final rule will affect all Products' locations which have projects involving asbestos demolition, renovation, and waste disposal.
EFFECTIVE DATE
On November 20, 1990 (55 FR 48406), EPA issued a final rule revising the asbestos NESHAP with the stated intention of enhancing enforcement and promoting compliance without altering the stringency of existing controls. The rule is codified at 40 CFR 61 Subpart M (copy attached). While the standard deals with a number of asbestos related operations, only the sections dealing with renovation and demolition, and waste disposal are relevant to Shell's operation.
STATE NOTIFICATION
As a matter of information, the NESHAP "General Provisions", 40 CFR 61 Subpart A, requires that all information required to be submitted to EPA must also be submitted to the States to whom EPA has delegated NESHAP implementation and enforcement authority.
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES
1. Under the old asbestos NESHAP, we were allowed up to one year to report "as early as possible before renovation begins", but the final rule requires that the notice to EPA be made ten days prior to
CD9108403 - 0001.0.0-
LAM 017339
DPMC-11068
the end of the year for which projects are planned for the following year (this advice was transmitted via PROFS on December 17, 1990 to . locations by T. R. Williams).
2. The final rule has been expanded to cover emissions from material
other than friable asbestos (so called "asbestos containing
material" or ACM) such as roofing or flooring material that could be
crushed, pulverized, or otherwise reduced to asbestos fibers during
renovation or demolition activities.
Facilities involved in
demolition/renovation projects are required to conduct an inspection
prior to commencement of such activities to determine whether ACM is
present.
3. Considerably more pre-project information is now required by _EPA and/or States when the amount of "Regulated Asbestos Contain4ng Material" (RACM) exceeds specific limits for various types of removal or demolition activity. A new two page form, "Notification of Demolition and Renovation", will now serve as the mechanism for initial notification and revisions to EPA and/or the State. A copy of this form is part of the attachment - see pages 48422 and 48423.
These limits (see 61.145) are:
(i) at least 80 linear meters (260 linear feet) on pipes or at least 15 square meters (160 square feet) on other facility components, or
(ii) at least 1 cubic meter (35 cubic feet) off facility components where the length or area could not be measured previously.
4. Where amounts of RACM are determined by initial inspection to be present in quantities exceeding the above triggers, all RACM must be removed from the facility being renovated or demolished before any activity begins that would break up, dislodge, or similarly disturb the material or preclude access to the material for subsequent removal (see 61.145(c)).
5. Effective one year after promulgation (by November 20, 1991), no RACM shall be stripped, removed or otherwise handled at a facility unless at least one on-site representative (foreman or authorized representative) is present who is trained in the provisions of the Asbestos NESHAP and the means of complying with it. The on-site representative must receive refresher training every two years.
6. For all asbestos-containing waste material transported offsite for disposal, a waste shipment record (WSR) must be provided to the waste-site operator. Vehicles used to transport asbestos containing waste must be marked with the sign prescribed by OSHA during loading and unloading. WSR follow-up procedures including exception reports (similar to the RCRA manifest tracking system) have been instituted
CD9108403 - 0002.0.0.
LAM 017340
DPMC-11069
for asbestos transportation and disposal. Labels are required on containers of asbestos-containing waste that indicate the name of the waste generator and the iocation where the waste was generated.
Your Products Environmental Conservation (PEC) representative will be glad to assist with any specific situations that may arise in application of this new rule.

' As a result. EPA issued a policy determination in 1985 regarding the r removal of nonfriable asbestos material ' that was consistent with EPA's intent to
