continuous operation, the asbestos-containing waste material which was deposited at the
site during the operating day or previous twenty-four-hour period is covered with either:
(1) At least fifteen centimeters [6 inches] of compacted non-asbestos-containing
material; or
(2) A resinous-based or petroleum-based dust suppression agent that effectively binds
dust and controls wind erosion. This agent must be used in the manner and
frequency recommended for the particular dust by the manufacturer of the dust
suppression agent. Other equally effective dust suppression agents may be used
upon prior approval by the department. For purposes of this paragraph, used, spent,
or other wasteoil is not considered a dust suppression agent.
d. Rather than meet the no visible emission requirements of subdivision a of this
subsection, use an alternative emission control method that has received prior approval
by the department and administrator of the United States environmental protection
agency.
e. For all asbestos-containing waste material received, the owner or operator of the active
waste disposal site shall:
(1) Maintain waste shipment records which include the following information:
(a) The name, address, and telephone number of the waste generator.
(b) The name, address, and telephone number of the transporters.
(c) The quantity of the asbestos-containing material in cubic yards.
(d) The presence of improperly enclosed or uncovered wastes or any
asbestos-containing waste material not sealed in leaktight containers. Report
in writing to this department by the following working day, the presence of a
significant amount of improperly enclosed or uncovered waste. Submit a copy
of the waste shipment record along with the report.
(e) The date of the receipt.

(2) As soon as possible and no longer than thirty days after receipt of the waste send a
copy of the signed waste shipment record to the waste generator.
(3) Upon discovering a discrepancy between the quantity of waste designated on the
waste shipment records and the quantity actually received, attempt to reconcile the
discrepancy with the waste generator. If the discrepancy is not resolved within
fifteen days after receiving the waste, immediately report in writing to this
department. Describe the discrepancy and attempts to reconcile it, and submit a
copy of the waste shipment record along with the report.
(4) Retain a copy of all records and reports required by this subdivision for at least
two years.

(5) Information on waste shipments received as required in subdivision e of
subsection 15.
(6) For output materials when no analyses were performed to determine the presence
of asbestos, record the name and location of the purchaser or disposal site to which
output materials were sold or deposited and the date of sale or disposal.
(7) Retain records required by this subdivision for at least two years.
g. Submit the following reports to the department:
(1) A report for each analysis of product composite samples performed during the initial
ninety days of operation.
(2) A quarterly report, including the following information concerning activities during
each consecutive three-month period:
(a) Results of analyses of monthly product composite samples.
(b) A description of any deviation from the operating parameters established
during performance testing, the duration of the deviation, and steps taken to
correct the deviation.
(c) Disposition of any product produced during a period of deviation, including
whether it was recycled, disposed of as asbestos-containing waste material, or
stored temporarily onsite until analyzed for asbestos content.
(d) The information on waste disposal activities as required in subdivision f of
subsection 15.
h. Nonasbestos (asbestos-free) output material is not subject to any of the provisions of this
section. Output material in which asbestos is detected, or output materials produced
when the operating parameters deviated from those established during the startup
performance testing, unless shown by transmission electron microscopy analysis to be
asbestos-free shall be considered to be asbestos-containing waste and must be handled
and disposed of in accordance with subsections 11 and 15 or reprocessed while all of the
