Pipeline (main)Asbestos-wrapped PipelineAsbestos Containing Material DisposalTCEQ30 TAC 330171.c.3&4BothManagement and disposal options for special waste:
1.Asbestos: There are two types of asbestos waste—regulated

(friable) and non-regulated (not friable) asbestos-containing material (RACM and non-RACM) as defined in 40 CFR Part 61 Section 141. Also, the amount of asbestos in the material contributes to the type of asbestos waste. Non-RACM may become RACM if subject to sanding, grinding, cutting, or abrading, or it has a high probability of being reduced to powder during demolition or renovation.

a. RACM is friable asbestos-containing material that contains greater than 1 percent asbestos. Friable is defined as asbestos containing material that, when dry, can be crushed to a powder by hand pressure. RACM may be disposed of at a Type I or Type I arid exempt (AE) MSW landfill in accordance with 30 TAC 330.171(c)(3).

b. Non-RACM is material containing less than one percent asbestos or non-friable asbestos-containing material not identified as regulated. Non-RACM may be disposed of at any MSW landfill provided the facility is authorized to accept the waste in accordance with 30 TAC 330.171(c)(4).as neededn/a
