IV. Source Reporting Requirements for Asbestos Disposal Site Operators

New requirements for asbestos source reporting: within 90 days of the effective date of this rule, you are required to report certain information about your asbestos waste disposal operations to the responsible asbestos NESHAP program agency.

Asbestos NESHAP requires that you report the following information: A brief description of the waste disposal site, which would include such information as the location and size of the disposal facility.

A description of the method or methods that will be used to comply with the asbestos NESHAP, or a description of alternative methods that will be used. Methods to be used, such as covering asbestos waste daily with 6 inches of non-asbestos cover or the use of dust suppressants should be reported.

Other information that might be reported includes procedures to prevent public access to the asbestos waste disposal area, such as the use of warning signs and fencing.
