Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
The following definitions are to used only for the purposes
					 of this Chapter.
"Adequately wet" means waste that is sufficiently mixed or
					 penetrated with liquid to prevent the release of finely divided particles.
					 Spraying water over the surface of asbestos containing waste does not satisfy
					 "adequately wet" requirement.
"Asbestos Containing Waste" or "ACW" means asbestos
					 containing waste managed at a landfill as authorized by section
					 25143.7, chapter 6.5 of the
					 California Health and Safety Code which contains greater than one percent (1%)
					 friable asbestos by weight. Asbestos containing waste does not include waste
					 contaminated with another hazardous waste as identified in chapter 11. division
					 4.5, title 22, California Code of Regulations.
"Designated Asbestos Containing Waste Disposal Area" means
					 an area specifically designated for the disposal of asbestos containing waste
					 at a solid waste facility. A specifically designated area is a dedicated
					 disposal area. The area shall be identified on a survey plat containing the
					 location and dimensions of the area with respect to permanently surveyed
					 vertical and horizontal control monuments. This survey plat shall be prepared
					 and certified by a professional land surveyor licensed in California or a civil
					 engineer authorized to practice land surveying in California. The designated
					 area shall be delineated with physical barriers, such as a fence, and
					 signs.
"Disposal" means the final deposition of asbestos
					 containing waste onto the land, into the atmosphere or into the waters of the
					 state.
"Enforcement Agency" means the California Integrated Waste
					 Management Board or its designee.
"Excavation" means any activity that exposes buried
					 asbestos containing waste to the atmosphere.
"Handling" means the collection, processing, treatment, or
					 packaging of asbestos containing waste for disposal.
"Leak tight" means that solids or liquids cannot escape or
					 spill out. It also means dust tight.
"Natural barrier" means a natural object that effectively
					 precludes or deters access. Natural barriers include physical obstacles such as
					 cliffs, lakes, or other large bodies of water, deep and wide ravines, and
					 mountains. Remoteness by itself is not a natural barrier.
"Solid waste facility" means any class II or class III
					 landfill as defined in sections
					 2532 and
					 2533, chapter 15, title 23,
					 California Code of Regulations (CCR); and any unclassified waste management
					 unit which accepts inert waste as defined in section
					 2524, chapter 15, title 23,
					 CCR.
"Visible emissions" means any emissions that are visually
					 detectable without the aid of instrument, coming from asbestos containing waste
					 or from handling and disposal of asbestos containing waste. This does not
					 include condensed uncombined water vapor.
1. New
					 section filed 8-1-96 as an emergency; operative 8-1-96 (Register 96, No. 31). A
					 Certificate of Compliance must be transmitted to OAL by 11-29-96 or emergency
