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 1s 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
mining, 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 asbestos-
containing 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 (i.e.,
p_ipe 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;
-------
- Adoption of provisions to exempt bitumen- or resin-based (i 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
rnl^h5,0?? be ;nforjed- I" 1978, the United States Supreme Court
f ?Q7oh3^ AIS a"thonty 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
S^K^+U !tandards; By ^promulgating 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 monitorina
activities; a
- Renotification requirements and other clarifying revisions for
demolition and renovation; and
- Requirements to keep records of waste shipments and waste disposal.

INSPECTION FOR ASBESTOS [61.145(a)]
To determine which of the applicability [61.145(a)J, notification [61.145(b)],
or emission control [61.145(c)] procedures apply, the owner or operator of a
demolition or renovation activity must first thoroughly inspect the facility
or the part of the facility where the demolition or renovation will occur for
the presence of friable and nonfriable asbestos-containing material.
APPLICABILITY [61.145(a)]
The applicability requirements for this section have been divided into
different categories according to the amount of regulated asbestos-containing
material in the demolition or renovation activity and the nature of the
activity.
-------
Demolitions (Above Cutoff)
If the amount of regulated asbestos-containing material present in a facility
being demolished is (1) at least 80 linear meters (260 linear feet) on pipes,
or (2) at least 15 square meters (160 square feet) on other facility
components, or (3) where the amount of asbestos-containing material on pipes
and other components could not be measured before stripping, a total of at
least one cubic meter (35 cubic feet) from all facility components in a
facility being demolished, all notification requirements [61.145(b)] on pages
3-7, emission control procedures [61i145(c)] on pages 7-11, and waste disposal
requirements [61.150] apply.
Demolitions (Below Cutoff)
If the amount of regulated asbestos-containing material present in a facility
being demolished is (1) less than 80 linear meters (260 linear feet) on pipes,
and (2) less than 15 square meters (160 square feet) on other facility
components, and (3) where the amount of asbestos-containing materials on pipes
and other components could not be measured before stripping or demolition, the
total amount from all facility components in a facility being demolished is
less than one cubic meter (35 cubic jFeet) or there is no asbestos, none of the
emission control procedures [61.145(c)] or waste disposal requirements
[61.150] apply. The applicable notification requirements [61.145(b)] are
listed on pages 3-7.
Demolitions (Ordered)
If the facility is being demolished by an order of the State or local
government agency because the facility is structurally unsound and in danger
of imminent collapse, the applicable1notification requirements [61,145(b)] are
described on pages 3-7. The emission control procedures [61.145(c)] that do
not apply are those presented under j'removal of asbestos-containing material,"
"removal of units or sections," "stripping regulated asbestos-containing
material from facility components within a facility," and "burning of
facilities" on pages 7-11. The applicable waste disposal provisions are
contained in 61.150.
Renovations (Above Cutoff)
If the amount of regulated asbestos-containing material that will be stripped,
removed, dislodged, cut, drilled, or'otherwise disturbed in a facility being
renovated including nonscheduled renovation operations is (1) at least 80
linear meters (260 linear feet) on p)pes, or (2) at least 15 square meters
(160 square feet) on other facility components, or (3) where the amount of
asbestos-containing material on pipes and other components could not be
measured before stripping, a total of at least one cubic meter (35 cubic feet)
from all facility components, all notification requirements [61.145(b)] on
pages 3-7, emission control procedures [61.145(c)] on pages 7-11, and waste
disposal requirements (61.150) applyi
-------
Renovations (Below Cutoff)
If the amount of regulated asbestos-containing material that will be stripped
removed or otherwise disturbed is less than all of the above stated
quantities, then none of the notification requirements, emission control
procedures, or waste disposal requirements apply.
Renovations (Planned)
Planned renovation operations involving individual nonscheduled operations are
subject to all notification requirements [61.145(b)]r emission control
procedures [61.145(c)], and waste disposal requirements (61.150) if, during a
calendar year of January 1 through December 31, the additive amount of
regulated asbestos-containing material that will be removed or stripped is
predicted to be more than any of the quantities stated above, under
"Renovations (Above Cutoff)."
Renovations (Emergency)
If the estimated amount of regulated asbestos-containing materials to be
removed or stripped during an emergency renovation that results from a sudden,
unexpected event, is more than any of the quantities stated above, under
"Renovation (Above Cutoff)," all notification requirements [61.145(b)],
emission control procedures [61.145(c)] and waste disposal requirements
(61.150), apply.
Exemption
Owners or operators of demolition and renovation operations are exempt from
the prohibitions to construct or modify contained in §61.05(a), the
application for approval requirements in §61.07, and the notification of
startup requirements in §61.09.
NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS [61.145(b)]
Notifying Responsibility
Each owner or operator of a demolition or renovation activity subject to this
subpart should provide the Administrator with written notices specifying an
intention to demolish or renovate a facility and provide updates to these
notices when the amount of asbestos-containing material affected changes by as
much as 20 percent. The notice should be sent by U.S. mail, by commercial
delivery service, or should be hand delivered.
Time Line for Submittal of Notification
The stipulations concerning the appropriate manner of delivery or postmark of
the notice depends on the type of demolition and renovation activity. The
following notification times have been established:
Postmarked or delivered at least 10 working days before asbestos
stripping or removal work or other activity (such as site preparation
-------
that would break up, dislodge, or similarly disturb asbestos material)
begins, if the amount of asbestos affected by the demolition or
renovation is at least 80 linear meters (260 linear feet) on pipes or
15 square meters (160 linear feet) on other facility components or,
where the amount of asbestos containing material could not be measured
prior to stripping, a total of at least one cubic meter (35 cubic
feet) from all facility components.
Postmarked or delivered at least 10 working days before demolition
begins if the amount of affected asbestos is less than 80 linear
meters (260 linear feet) on pipes or less than 15 square meters (160
linear feet) on other facility components or, where the amount of
asbestos containing material could not be measured prior to stripping,
a total of less than one cubic meter (35 cubic feet) from all facility
components.
Postmarked or delivered at least 10 working days before the end of the
calendar year preceding the year for which the notice is given for
planned renovation operations involving nonscheduled operations if the
amount of asbestos affected in the renovation activities is more than
the previously stated amount.

following working day, after asbestos stripping or removal work or the
sanding, grinding, cutting, or abrading of Category I and II
nonfriable asbestos-containing material in an emergency renovation
activity or a government ordered demolition activity begins.
If the planned start date of I a demolition or renovation operation
changes after a notification: is submitted, the Administrator must be
notified according to the foil lowing schedule:
- If the new start date is later than the original start date, provide
a notice by telephone as soon as possible before the original start
date and provide a notice In writing as soon as possible"before, but
no later than, the original start date.
- If the new start date is earlier than the original start date,
provide a notice in writing at least 10 working days before any
stripping or removal work begins for demolition and renovation'
operations where the amount of asbestos affected is above the cutoff
and for demolition operations where the amount of asbestos affected
1s below the cutoff, provide a notice at least 10 working days
before demolition begins.
In no event shall an operation begin on a date other than the date
contained in the written notice of the new start date.

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 nonfriable 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 nonfriable 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:
-------
Adequately wet any regulated asbestos-containing materials exposed
during cutting or disjoining (i.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 co'vered, 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, and
steam generators, and the following conditions are met:
The component can be removed, transported, stored, and reused without
disturbing or damaging the a'sbestos; 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.

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.
-------
- 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 asbestos-
containing 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 daily 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.

suppression agent that effectively binds dust to control surface air
emissions may be used instead of the above cover and vegetation
methods. Use the agent in the manner and frequency recommended for
the particular asbestos tailings by the manufacturer of the dust
suppression agent to achieve and maintain dust control. Obtain prior
written approval of the Administrator to use other equally effective
dust suppression agents. Used, spent, or other waste oil is not
considered a dust suppression agent.

AIR CLEANING [61.152]
DEFINITIONS
The following terms used in this section are defined in Appendix A:
Administrator
Asbestos
Owner or operator
Particulate asbestos material
Visible emissions
STANDARD [61.152(a)]
Owners or operators who elect to use air-cleaning, as permitted in several
provisions of this standard, must:
Use a fabric filter collection device (i.e., a baghouse) for cleaning
emissions of particulate asbestos material operated in the following
manner:
- At a pressure drop of no more than 4 inches water gage, as measured
across the fabric filter;
- With an airflow permeability that does not exceed 9 cubic meters of
gas per minute flowing through a square meter of cloth (mVmin/m2)
(30 fWmin/ft2) for woven fabrics or 11 m3/min/m2 (35 ft3/min/ft2)
for felted fabrics.
- If the filtering air is from an asbestos ore dryer, then airflow
permeability must not exceed 12 m3/min/m2 (40 ft3/min/ft2) for woven
and 14 m3/min/m2 (45 ft3/min/ft2) for felted fabrics.
- If felted fabrics are used, the weight must be at least 475 grams
per square meter (14 ounces per square yard) and the material must
be at least 1.6 millimeters (one-sixteenth inch) thick throughout.
- If synthetic fabrics are used, only spun fill yarn may be used.
The fabric filter collection device should be properly installed,
used, operated, and maintained. Bypass devices may be used only
during upset or emergency conditions and for only as long as needed to
shut down the faulty operation.
For fabric filter collection devices installed after the revised
asbestos NESHAP proposal date of January 10, 1989, the owner or
operator should provide for easy inspection for faulty bags.
EXEMPTIONS FROM THE USE OF A FABRIC FILTER COLLECTION DEVICE [61.152(b)]
There are several situations under which owners and operators are exempt from
the use of fabric filter collection devices. They are:
-------
Where the fabric filter collection device creates a fire or explosion
hazard and is installed after January 10, 1989, or the Administrator
determines that use of a fabric filter is not feasible. Under these
circumstances, the Administrator may authorize the use of wet
collectors as a substitute for the fabric filter collection device.
If used, the wet collectors must be designed to operate with a unit
contacting energy of at least 9.95 kilopascals (40 inches water gage
pressure);
Where a high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter that is
certified to be at least 99.97 percent efficient for 0.3 micron
particles is used; or
Where alternative filtering equipment authorized by EPA is used. The
EPA may authorize the use of alternative filter equipment If the owner
or operator has demonstrated to EPA's satisfaction that the
alternative equipment is equivalent to either the previously described
fabric filter collection device, the wet collector, or the HEPA filter
in filtering particulate asbestos materials.

When conducting a start-up performance test, the test results should include
the following information:
-------
-------
Detailed description of the types and quantities of nonasbestos
material and asbestos-containing waste processed;
Documentation of test results to determine the asbestos content of the
waste processed, using polarized light microscopy;
Documentation of test results demonstrating that the output material
is free of asbestos, using transmission electron microscopy;
Description of operating parameters defining the full range over which
the process is expected to operate; and
The length of the test.
OPERATIONS (THE FIRST 90 DAYS) [61.155(c)]
During the initial 90 days of operation, the owners or operators must:
Continuously monitor and log the operating parameters specified during
start-up performance tests as a means of ensuring that the output
material is asbestos free; and
Monitor all input materials to ensure that they are within the range
used during the startup tests; and
Collect and analyze, by transmission electron microscopy, samples of
all output material for the presence of asbestos. All output material
must be stored on site until the analysis shows that the material is
asbestos-free. Otherwise, the output must be disposed of as asbestos-
containing waste material according to the Standard for Waste Disposal
for Manufacturing, Fabricating, Demolition, Renovation, and Spraying
Operations (61.150).
OPERATIONS (AFTER THE FIRST 90 DAYS) [61.155(d)]
After the initial 90 days of operation, the owners or operators must:
Continuously monitor and record the operating parameters identified
during the initial performance and any subsequent performance test.

the date of sale or deposit for output material that was not analyzed
for asbestos content; and
Retain all records for at least 2 years.
NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS [61.155(g)]
Owners or operators must submit two types of reports to the Administrator:
A report for each analysis of product composite samples taken during
the initial 90 days of operation.
A quarterly report concerning activities of the conversion operations
during each consecutive 3-month period which contains:
- Results of analyses of monthly product composite samples;

provisions of this subpart. Output materials in which asbestos is detected,
or output materials produced when the operating parameters deviated from those
established during the start-up performance testing, unless shown by
transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis to be asbestos free, shall be
considered to be asbestos-containing waste and shall be handled and disposed
of according to the Standard for Waste Disposal for Manufacturing,
Fabricating, Demolition, Renovation, and Spraying Operations (61.150) or
