(A) Each
owner or
operator of a
demolition or
renovation operation to whom this rule applies
shall comply with the following procedures:
(1) Remove all
regulated asbestos-containing
material from a
facility being demolished or renovated before any activity
begins that would break up, dislodge, or similarly disturb the materials or
preclude access to the materials for subsequent removal. However,
regulated
asbestos-containing material need not be removed before
demolition, except in
accordance with paragraph (E) of this rule, if:
(a) It is category I nonfriable
asbestos-containing material that is not in poor condition and is not
friable.
(b) It is on facility
components that are encased in concrete or other similarly hard material, and
the asbestos-containing materials are adequately wet whenever exposed during
demolition.
(c) It was not
accessible for testing and was, therefore, 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
regulated
asbestos-containing material and any
asbestos-contaminated debris
must
shall be
treated as
asbestos-containing waste material and
adequately wet at all times
until disposed of.
(d) It is
category II nonfriable asbestos-containing material, and the probability is low
the material will become crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder during
demolition.
(2) When a
facility component covered with, coated with or containing
regulated
asbestos-containing material is being removed from the
facility as units or in
sections:
(a) Adequately wet all
regulated
asbestos-containing material exposed during
cutting or disjointing
operations
; and
.
(b)
Carefully lower the units or sections to the floor and to ground level not
dropping, throwing, sliding or otherwise damaging or disturbing the regulated
asbestos-containing material.
(3) Adequately wet regulated
asbestos-containing materials when
they
the materials are being stripped from
facility
components. In
renovation operations, wetting that would unavoidably damage
equipment or cause an unreasonable safety hazard is not required if the
following conditions are met:
(a)
The owner or operator submits
Submit a written request to the
director no less than
thirty days prior to the starting date of such operations, demonstrating that
wetting to comply with this rule would unavoidably damage equipment or present
an unreasonable safety hazard, and
supplies
supply the
director with adequate information to make this determination.
(b) The director issues a written
determination, based on the written request, that equipment damage or an
unreasonable safety hazard would be unavoidable.
(c)
The owner or
operator uses
Uses one of the following
alternative emission controls
at a minimum in
accordance with the terms of the determination
. At a
minimum the owner or operator shall use one of the following:
(i) A
local exhaust ventilation and
collection system designed and operated to capture the particulate
asbestos
materials produced by the stripping and removal of
friable asbestos
material
. The system shall
and exhibit no
visible emissions to the
outside
air or be designed and operated in accordance with the requirements in rule
3745-20-12 of the Administrative
Code.
(ii) A glove-bag system
designed and operated to contain the particulate asbestos material produced by
the stripping of the asbestos materials.
(iii) Leak-tight wrapping to contain all
regulated asbestos-containing material prior to dismantlement.
(d) In
renovation operations where
wetting would result in equipment damage or a safety hazard, and the methods
allowed in paragraph (A)(3)(c) of this rule cannot be used, an alternate method
may be used after obtaining written approval from the
director based upon a
determination that
it
the alternate method is equivalent to wetting in
controlling emissions. Requests for alternative emission control methods shall
be submitted concurrently with the request contained in paragraph (A)(3)(a) of
this rule.
(e)
A
Display a
copy of the
director's written determination
shall
be displayed at the worksite during the
renovation
operation.
(4) After a
facility component covered with, coated with or containing
regulated
asbestos-containing material has been removed from the
facility as a unit or in
sections pursuant to paragraph (A)(2) of this rule, except as provided in
paragraph (A)(5) of this rule, the
owner or operator shall do one of the
following:
(a) Adequately wet the regulated
asbestos-containing material during stripping.
(b) During stripping, use a
local exhaust
ventilation and collection system operated to capture the
particulate asbestos
material produced by the stripping. The system
must
shall exhibit no
visible emissions to the
outside air or
must be designed and operated in accordance with
the requirements in rule
3745-20-12 of the Administrative
Code.
(c) Encase the
regulated
asbestos-containing material on the component with a suitable
leak-tight
container in accordance with rule
3745-20-05 of the Administrative
Code.
Regulated asbestos-containing material, contained in
leak-tight wrapping,
that has been removed in accordance with this paragraph need not be
wetted.
(5) For large
facility components such as reactor vessels, large tanks, and steam generators,
but not beams (which
must
shall be handled in accordance with paragraphs (A)(2),
(A)(3), and (A)(4) of this rule), the regulated
asbestos- containing material
is not required to be stripped if the following are met:
(a) The component is removed, stored,
transported, and either disposed of or reused without disturbing or damaging
the regulated asbestos-containing material.
(b) The component is encased in a leak-tight
wrapping.
(c) The
leak-tight
wrapping is labeled according to paragraph (D) of rule
3745-20-05 of the Administrative
Code.
Regulated asbestos-containing material, contained in
leak-tight wrapping,
