How Would a Disposal Site Become Recognized to Accept Regulated
Asbestos- Containing Waste Material
LAC 33:III.5151 requires that landfills attain a Type I (industrial) or a Type II (residential &/or commercial) solid waste permit or hazardous waste (RCRA Subtitle C) permit first;
An AAC-7 (is) or AAC-7 (os) form must then be completed and submitted to the LDEQ Air Permits Division along with a copy of the pages of the solid waste permit regarding asbestos handling and disposal, and a copy of the signature page of the permit;
LDEQ will review and approve the AAC-7 and therefore, recognize the landfill to accept such wastes, or deny the application.
