1. INTRODUCTION
The Clean Air Act (CAA) of 1970 requires the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) to develop and enforce regulations to
protect the general public from exposure to airborne contaminants
mat are known to be hazardous to human health. In accordance with
Section 112 of the CAA, EPA established National Emissions
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) to protect the
public. Asbestos was one of the first hazardous aurpollutante
regulated under Section 112. The Asbestos NESHAP (40 CFR 61,
Subpart M) addresses milling, manufacturing and fabricating
operations, demolition and renovation activities, waste disposal
issues, active and inactive waste disposal sites and asbestos
conversion processes.
The Asbestos NESHAP requires facility owners and/or operators
involved in demolition and renovation activities to control emissions
of particulate asbestos to the outside air because no safe
concentration of airborne asbestos has ever been established. The
primary method used to control asbestos emissions is to adequately
wet the Asbestos Containing Material (ACM) with a wetting agent
prior to, during and after demolition/renovation activities.
The purpose of this document is to provide guidance to asbestos
inspectors and the regulated community on how to determine it
friable ACM is adequately wet as required by the Asbestos
NESHAP.
The recommendations made in this guidance are solely
recommendations. They are not the exclusive means of complying
with the Asbestos NESHAP requirements. Following these
recommendations is not a guarantee against findings of violation.
Determinations of whether asbestos materials are adequately wetted
are made by EPA inspectors on site.
2. IMPORTANT TERMS
Adequately Wet
EPA defines "adequately wet" to mean "sufficiently mix or penetrate
with liquid to prevent the release of particulates. If visible emissions
are observed coming from asbestos-containing material (ACM), then
that material has not been adequately wetted. However, the absence
of visible emission is not sufficient evidence of being adequately wet
(Section 61.141, Definitions). Amended water is often used to wet
ACM during repair/removal operations.
-------
Friable Asbestos Material
Friable asbestos material is any material containing more than
1 percent asbestos as determined using Polarized Light Microscopy
(PLM), that, when dry, can be .crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to
powder by hand pressure.
Asbestos-Containing Waste Materials (ACWM)
EPA defines ACWM to mean mill tailings or any waste that contains
commercial asbestos and is generated by a source subject to the
provisions of this subpart. This term includes filters from C9ntrol
devices, friable asbestos waste material, and bags on other similar
packaging contaminated with commercial asbestos. As applied to
demolition and renovation operations, this term also includes friable
asbestos waste and Category II nonfriable ACM waste that becomes
crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by forces that acted on
the material during the course of demolition and renovation
operations regulated by this subpart, and materials contaminated with
asbestos including disposal equipment and clothing.
Nonfriable Asbestos-containing Materials
Nonfriable asbestos-containing material is any material containing
more than 1 percent asbestos as determined using Polarized Light
Microscopy (PLM) that, when dry, cannot be crumbled, pulverized,
or reduced to powder by hand pressure.
Regulated Asbestos-Containing Material (RACM)
Is (a) friable asbestos material, (b) Category I nonfriable ACM that
has become friable, (c) Category I nonfriable ACM that will be or
has been subjected to sanding, grinding, cutting or abrading, or (d)
Category II nonfriable ACM that has a high probability ofbecoming
or has become crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by the
force expected to act on the material in the course of demolition or
renovation operations.
3. FRIABLE AND NONFRIABLE ASBESTOS-
CONTAINING MATERIALS
The Asbestos NESHAP defines two categories of nonfriable ACM:
Category I nonfriable ACM (asbestos-containing packings, gaskets,
resilient floor covering and asphalt roofing products) and Category n
nonfriable ACM (any nonfriable material not designated as
Category I).
The Agency requires that, where the Asbestos NESHAP is
applicable, friable ACM and Category n and nonfriable ACM that is
likely to become disturbed or damaged so that the material could be
-------
crumbled, pulverized or reduced to powder during a demolition or
renovation oe removed, from a facility prior to its demolition/
renovation. The fibrous or fluffy spray-applied asbestos materials
found in many buildings for fireproofing, insulating, sound-proofing,
or decorative purposes are generally considered friable. Pipe and
boiler wrap found in numerous buildings is also considered friable.
Nonfriable ACM, such as vinyl-asbestos floor tile, generally emits
low levels of airborne fibers unless subjected to burning or to
sanding, grinding, cutting or abrading operations. Other materials,
such as asbestos cement sheet and pipe, can emit asbestos fibers if
the materials are crumbled, pulverized or reduced to powder during
demolition/renovation activities. Whenever nonfriable materials are
going to be damaged to the extent that they are crumbled, pulverized
or reduced to powder, they must be handlea in accordance with the
Asbestos NESHAP.
4. REQUIREMENTS FOR ADEQUATELY WETTING
ASBESTOS-CONTAINING MATERIALS
The NESHAP regulation requires that RACM be adequately wetted
during the following activities:
a. During cutting or disjoining operations when a facility
component which is covered or coated with friable ACM
is being removed from that facility as units or in sections
(Section 61.145 (c)(2)(i)).
During demolitions 9r renovations a contractor may choose to
remove an entire boiler, a section of pipe, or other facility
components without first removing the asbestos insulation from these
structures. Any ACM which will be disturbed during cutting or
disjoining operations must be adequately wet.
b. During stripping operations when a facility component
containing RACM remains in place in the facility.
(Section 61.145 (c)(3)).
Stripping operations are the most common form of asbestos removal
during renovation activities, since most items that are covered with
asbestos are facility components or structural members which will
not be removed. Stripping off all of the RACM can generate
significant asbestos emissions if the ACM is not adequately wet
during removal.
Friable spray-on ACM, which includes fire-proofing materials found
on decking and support I-beams, is normally easy to wet throughout
because of the absorbing property of the cellulose mixing/binding
-------
agent. The Asbestos NESHAP requires that these materials be fully
penetrated with the wetting agent during demolition/renovation
activities.
Other ACM, however, such as "thermal-block" insulation used on
Pipes and boilers, certain ceiling and floor tile applications, etc.,
which do not absorb water readily may be hard to penetrate by water
or a wetting agent. For such materials, adequate wetting consists of
coating the surfaces of the materials with water or a wetting agent
prior to, during, and, in most cases, after removal activities in
order to prevent asbestos emissions. Whenever such materials are
broken during the removal process, the exposed, dry surfaces must
be wetted immediately to reduce emissions.
If pieces of dry ACM are accidentally disturbed, they should be
immediately wetted and kept wet until collected for disposal.
Removal personnel are commonly assigned to keep the fallen RACM
wet prior to its being collected for disposal.
c. After the RACM has been stripped from a facility
component, it must remain adequately wet until it has
been collected and contained or treated in preparation
for disposal. (Section 61.145 (c)(6)(i))
After removal, adequately wetted ACWM must be sealed in leak-
tight containers or wrapping which must be labeled as specified by
theOccupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) under 29
CFR 19l5.1001(j)(2) or 1926.58(k)(2)fiii). Such w^ste materials
destined for off-site transport must additionally be labeled with the
name of the generator and location of the waste generation site
(Section 61.150 (a)(l)(iv and v)).
In demolitions where the RACM was not removed prior
to demolition (Section 61.145 (c)(l)(i)(ii)(iii)(iv))
RACM on a facility component encased in concrete
or other similarly hard material must be adequately
wet whenever exposed during demolitions (Section
61.145 (c)(l)(ii));
RACM which was not accessible for testing and,
due to demolition, cannot be safely removed, must
be kept adequately wet at all times until disposed of
(Section 6U45 (c)(l)(iii)): W
The portion of a facility ordered demolished that
contains RACM must be adequately wet during the
wrecking operation (Section 61.145 (c)(9)).
d.
-------
In each of the above situations, ACWM generated must be kept
adequately wet during handling and loading for transport to the
disposal site. In cases where ACWM canl be segregated from the
debri pile it must be disposed of as ACWM. Such ACWM does not
have to be sealed in leak-tight containers or wrapping, but may be
transported and disposed of in bulk (Section 61.150 (a)(3)).
5. EXCEPTIONS TO ADEQUATELY WETTING ASBESTOS-
CONTAINING MATERIALS
The Asbestos NESHAP allows two exceptions to wetting RACM
during a demolition or renovation project:
When the temperature at the point of wetting is
below 0°C (32%) (Section 61.145 (c)(7)(i)).
The owner/operator must remove facility
components coated or covered with friable ACM as
units or sections to the maximum extent possible and
meet subsequent requirements of 61.145, including
me wetting requirements.
During periods when wetting operations are
suspended due to freezing temperatures, the
owner/operator must record the temperature in the
area containing the facility components at the
beginning, middle, and end of each workday and
keep daily temperature records available for
inspection by the Administratorduring normal
business hours at the demolition or renovation site.
The owner or operator shall retain the temperature
records for at least 2 years.
When the use of water would unavoidably
damage equipment or present a safety hazard
(Sec. 61.145 {c)(3)tt)"*
The owner/operator must first obtain written
approval from the Administrat9r for an alternative
work practice, prior to renovation activities and
utilize a local exhaust ventilation and collection
system designed to capture particulate asbestos
released during removal operations. (Section 61.145
(c)(3)(i)(B)Q)); or a glove bag system or a leak-tight
wrapping which can contain the particulate asbestos
materials produced by stripping ACM. (Section
61.145 (c)(3)(i)(B)(2)and (3))
-------
6. TECHNIQUES FOR WETTING ASBESTOS-
CONTAINING MATERIALS
General Information
Adequate wetting of ACM is typically accomplished by repeatedly
spraying it with a liquid or a wetting agent, usually amended water
(water to which surfactant chemicals have been added), until it can
absorb no more. However, this does not necessarily mean that the
ACM will be soaked throughout. Surfactant chemicals reduce the
surface tension of the water, thereby increasing its ability to
penetrate the ACM and surround the asbestos fibers. Although
amending agents are not required by the Asbestos NESHAP (the
NESHAP only requires the use of a liquid), EPA, in its "Guidance
for Controlling Asbestos-Containing Materials in Buildings", EPA-
560/5-85-024 (Purple Book), recommends the use of a 50:50 mixture
of polyoxyethylene ester and polyoxyethylene ether, or the
equivalent, in a 0.16 percent solution (1 ounce to 5 gallons) of water.
Wetting agents may be applied with garden sprayers or hoses.
Garden sprayers are hand-held, portable, and nave a one- to five-
gallon capacity. Water hoses are usually attached to a faucet tap,,
fire hydrant or water tank. Generally, the hose has a nozzle attached
which spreads the water stream so that a fine mist is created.
An engineering control often used is a misting unit which can be
used to create a high level of humidity within a removal area, It is
believed that fibers emitted into a saturated environment will absorb
the wetting agent and fall out of the air faster, thus reducing airborne
fiber levels.
7. PROCEDURES FOR WETTING ASBESTOS-
CONTAINING MATERIALS
The following procedures describe methods of adequately wetting
various applications of ACM.
Thermal System Insulation
Molded Pipe insulation .-*
The recommended wetting procedure for this type of RACM is to
saturate the outer surface with amended water, strip off the wet
canvas coating and then rewet the surface in order to thoroughly
saturate the ACM. The metal bands supporting the RACM should
be removed and the half-round sections carefully separated. While
this occurs, the interior side and edges of the sections should be
saturated with amended water. If a section breaks during removal,
the exposed surfaces should be wetted immediately. A misting
-------
sprayer may also be used to keep the air in the removal area or
containment area saturated with amended water to attempt to reduce
airborne asbestos fiber levels.
Corrugated Paper Pipe Insulation
The outer surface of the corrugated paper ("air-cell") pipe insulation,
usually a canvas wrap, should be saturated with a wetting agent and
then removed. Wetting should continue until all the insulation is
permeated with amended water. Metal bands holding the insulation
in place should be removed and the corrugated RACM insulation
stripped. Any unsaturated surfaces exposed during the stripping
operation must be wetted immediately to reduce asbestos emissions.
A misting sprayer may also be used to keep the air in the removal
area saturated with amended water to attempt to reduce airborne
asbestos fiber levels. Inadequately wetted and adequately wetted
corrugated paper pipe insulation can be seen in Figures 1 and 2.

(Note the fibrous material adjacent to the lagging clamp.)
-------

tgging clamp.)
Boiler and Water Tank Thermal Block Insulation
Asbestos-containing preformed block insulation has been used as
thermal insulation on boilers, hot water tanks and heat exchangers in
industrial, commercial, institutional and residential applications. The
blocks are commonly chalky in nature and may be held in place by
chicken wire or expanded metal lath. A plaster-saturated canvas was
often applied as a final covering or wrap.
Due to the number, thickness and varying absorbencies of these
layers of materials, adequate wettinjg may be accomplished only by
continually .wetting the materials with amended water as the various
layers are stripped.
-------
One person may be assigned to spray the materials as they are
stripped, and a misting sprayer may "be used in an attempt to reduce
airborne asbestos fiber levels.
Cementitious Fitting Insulation
Wetting of cementitious fitting insulation is similar to that used when
removing asbestos-containing thermal block insulation. The outer
surface is saturated with amended water and the outer covering (if
applicable) is removed. The fitting insulation is then rewetted and
the insulation stripped. To ensure that the fitting remains adequately
wet during the removal operation, a person is often assigned to spray
the ACM as it is stripped. A misting sprayer may be used to reduce
airborne asbestos fiber levels. Inadequately wetted cementitious
fitting insulation can be seen in Figure 3.
Figure 3. Inadequately wetted cementitious fitting insulation. (Note
that the part of the insulation which has been wetted is dark grey in
color, whereas the dry section remains white.)
Asbestos-Containing Surfacing Materials
"Surfacing Material" is a generic term designated by the Asbestos
Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA; Asbestos Containing
Materials in Schools, 40 CFR Part 763, Subpart E) to mean any wall
or ceiling material that is sprayed-on or troweled-on, such as
acoustical plaster or fireproofing. The recommended wetting method
-------
for this type of RACM is to saturate the surfaces, begin the stripping
operation and continue to wet the RACM as it is being removed. A
misting sprayer may also be used to keep the air saturated while the
removal occurs. Since surfacing materials vary in their ability to
absorb a wetting agent, inspectors must consider the type iof
surfacing material that is being removed in order to determine the
requiredextent of penetration t>y the amended water. Surfacing
materials which easily absorb a wetting agent need to be fully
penetrated or permeated to be considered adequately wet, whereas
only the exposed surfaces of materials which do not absorb water
readily need to be wetted.
The use of high pressure water to remove asbestos-containing
surfacing materials, either through a steam-cleaning device or a
diesel powered hydroblasting water applicator, should be avoided
since such use may unduly disturb RACM and contribute to higher
airborne asbestos fiber levels. However, if this removal method is
used, contractors must adequately wet the ACM prior to and during
the removal.
Miscellaneous Asbestos-Containing Materials
Both friable and nonfriable forms of other asbestos-containing
building materials exist. Friable materials include asbestos-
containing paper (commonly found beneath wooden floors),
wallpaper, and joint compound. It has been estimated that 5 to 10
percent of the ceiling tiles currently installed in the U.S. contain
asbestos.
Nonfriable miscellaneous ACM includes floor tiles, asbestos cement
sheet (transite board), siding shingles, asphalt roofing shingles,
laboratory benchtops and even chalkboards. These materials may
become triable with age, and under harsh conditions. Category 1
nonfriable ACM must be carefully examined to determine if the
material is in poor condition, that is, if the binding material is losing
its integrity, exhibited by peeling, cracking or crumbling; and is also
friable. When Category I nonfhable ACM has become friable it is
subject to the NESHAP.
If Category I or II ACM is sanded, ground, cut or abraded it is also
covered by the NESHAP. Category n nonfriable ACM which is
damaged to the extent that it has or will become crumbled,
pulverized or reduced to powder due to demolition/ renovation
activities, is subject to the Asbestos NESHAP.
Miscellaneous materials are wetted in manners similar to those used
to wet other categories of RACM. Coverings are saturated with a
wetting agent before removal and the asbestos-containing portions
fully penetrated with the agent prior to, during and after their
-------
removal, while stored in the removal area, and while being placed
into disposal containers. Miscellaneous materials that don't absorb
water readily (e.g., asbestos-concrete products, and floor tiles) are
only required to nave wetted surfaces. A misting sprayer may be
used to diminish airborne asbestos fiber levels.
8. INSPECTION PROCEDURES
The intent of the following guidelines is to provide
GUIDANCE ONLY, to the regulated community regarding the
inspection procedures recommended to Asbestos NESHAF inspectors
for determining compliance with the "Adequately Wet" requirements
of the Asbestos NESHAP. The purpose of the wetting provisions is
to require as much wetting as is necessary to prevent airborne
emissions of asbestos fibers. In order to achieve this result, RACM
and ACWM must be wetted and maintained wet until collected for
disposal. The determination of whether RACM or ACWM has been
adequately wetted is generally based on observations made by the
inspector at the time of inspection. Observations probative of
whether a material is adequately wet include but are not limited to,
the following:
1. Is there a water supply in place?
2. Is water or a wetting agent observed being sprayed onto the
RACM or ACWM both during stripping or removal and
afterwards while the material awaits proper disposal? If yes,
carefully note the method of application used (e.g., misting,
fogging, spraying of surface area only or drenching to
penetrate the ACM throughout).
3. If water or a wetting agent is being used, what equipment is
used to apply it (e.g., garden hose, plant mister)?
4. If water or a wetting agent is not being used, determine why
it is not and document the reason. Possible (although not
necessarily valid) reasons include:
prior permission obtained from the Administrator
(safety hazard, potential equipment damage);
no water source at the facility;
temperature at the point of wetting below
32 degrees F;
portable water supply ran out and contractor
continued to work; or
contractor prepared the area earlier, etc.
-------
5.
6.
7.
8.
Examine a stripped or rempved piece of ACWM or RACM
which wets readily. Does it appear to be wetted throughout?
If it does not, adequately wet the sample. Describe and
photograph how the physical characteristics of the
material change upon wetting (e.g., color, weight, texture,
etc.) Take samples, as necessary, to document the presence
of asbestos in the suspect material.
When examining materials that do not readily absorb water
or a wetting agent (e.g., premolded thermal system
insulation, ceifing tiles, floor tiles) inspectors should note
whether all exposed surfaces of these materials have been
wetted as required.
Is there visible dust (airborne or settled), or dry ACWM
debris in the immediate vicinity of the operation? Inspectors
should collect samples of such materials for analysis of their
possible asbestos content
Examine ACWM in bags or other containers using the
procedures that follow, to determine if the material has been
adequately wetted?
1. Randomly select bags or the containers for
inspection.
2. Lift the bag and assess its overall weight. (A bag of
dry ACWM can generally be lifted easily by one
hand. A bag filled with well-wetted material would
be substantially heavier.)
3. If the bag or other container is transparent:
Visually inspect the contents of the
unopened bag for evidence of moisture (e.g.,
water droplets, water in the bottom of the
bag, a change in the color of the material
due to water).
Without opening the bag, squeeze chunks of
debris to ascertain whether moisture droplets
are emitted.
If .the material appears dry or not penetrated
with liquid or a wetting agent, open die bag
using the additional steps described in step 9
below, and collect a bulk sample of each
type of material in the bag ascertaining
-------
variations in size, patterns, color and
textures.
9. If the waste material is contained in an opaque bag or other
container, or if the material is in a transparent bag which
appears to be inadequately wetted:
Carefully open the bag (in the containment
area, if possible). If there is no containment
area at the site, a glove bag may be used to
enclose the container prior to opening it to
minimize the risk of any fiber release.
Examine the contents of the bag for
evidence of moisture as in 8 above, and if
the material appears dry or it is not fully
penetrated with water or a wetting agent,
collect a bulk sample.
Reseal the bag immediately after evaluating
and sampling its contents.
