Are All Asbestos-Containing Waste Materials (ACWM) Transported to an Appropriate Disposal Site?

Your facility must send all asbestos-containing waste material (ACWM) to an active disposal site that receives ACWM or an EPA-approved site that converts RACM and ACWM into asbestos-free material. While EPA does not license landfills for asbestos disposal, it has established asbestos disposal requirements for active disposal sites under the asbestos NESHAP regulation.

State and/or local agencies usually require asbestos disposal sites to be approved or licensed. Your facility should check with your state or local agency for a list of approved or licensed asbestos disposal sites.

An inspector may check for consistency between the facility ACWM logs and the disposal site records. Additionally, the inspector may check to see that the asbestos waste is placed in the disposal site without dispersing asbestos to the atmosphere, and that the site covers the asbestos waste daily.
