Disposal of Asbestos
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Disposal procedures and sites for asbestos
materials vary considerably with each location.
Contact local station Public Works and the NAVFAC
Engineering Field Division Hazardous Waste Manager
or Industrial Hygienist for local procedures.

3.3.3.1
Procedure for Disposal
Collect asbestos waste, asbestos contaminated water, scrap, debris, bags,
containers, equipment, and asbestos contaminated clothing which may produce
airborne concentrations of asbestos fibers and place in sealed fiber-proof,
waterproof, non-returnable containers (e.g. double plastic bags 0.15 mm 6
mils thick, cartons, drums or cans). Wastes within the containers must be
adequately wet in accordance with 40 CFR 61-SUBPART M. Affix a warning and
Department of Transportation (DOT) label to each container including the
bags or use at least 0.15 mm 6 mils thick bags with the approved warnings
and DOT labeling preprinted on the bag. The name of the waste generator
and the location at which the waste was generated shall be clearly
indicated on the outside of each container. Prevent contamination of the
transport vehicle (especially if the transport vehicle is a rented truck
likely to be used in the future for non-asbestos purposes). These
precautions include lining the vehicle cargo area with plastic sheeting
(similar to work area enclosure) and thorough cleaning of the cargo area
after transport and unloading of asbestos debris is complete. Dispose of
waste asbestos material at an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or
State-approved asbestos landfill off Government property. For temporary
storage, store sealed impermeable bags in asbestos waste drums or skids.
An area for interim storage of asbestos waste-containing drums or skids
will be assigned by the Contracting Officer or his authorized
representative. Procedure for hauling and disposal shall comply with 40
CFR 61-SUBPART M, State, regional, and local standards. Sealed plastic
bags may be dumped from drums into the burial site unless the bags have
been broken or damaged. Damaged bags shall remain in the drum and the
entire contaminated drum shall be buried. Uncontaminated drums may be
recycled. Workers unloading the sealed drums shall wear appropriate
respirators and personal protective equipment when handling asbestos
materials at the disposal site.
