Proposed rule changes are drafted with consideration and influence of existing asbestos-related laws from the Environmental Protection Agency, Oregon Occupational Safety and Health Division, and laws in other U.S. cities and states. The limitations of this rulemaking include any statutory changes. DEQ expects that the proposed rules would add a direct cost to the following three rule changes: 1. Residential Renovation Survey: Renovation activities at residential buildings with four or fewer dwelling units would be required to have an asbestos survey. 2. Move nonfriable disposal requirements into the friable disposal requirements section: Removing Nonfriable Asbestos Disposal Requirements section, 340-248-0290 and adding nonfriable to the Friable Asbestos Disposal Requirements section, 340-248- 0280. This change will result in requiring nonfriable asbestos waste to be packaged, labeled, transported, and disposed similar to how friable asbestos waste is currently managed. This change will result in lower exposure to asbestos fibers. Currently nonfriable waste does not need to be packaged and could be disturbed through transport and disposal, making the nonfriabe to become friable. This rule change would make costs to dispose of nonfriable asbestos-containing waste material similar to the costs of disposing friable asbestos-containing waste material. 3. Accredited laboratories for asbestos testing: Laboratories that analyze samples for the presence of asbestos would need to demonstrate proficiency within two years of rule adoption through participation in a nationally recognized testing program or an equivalent testing program. This proposed change could increase costs to laboratories to train staff and to participate in a nationally accredited program. This rulemaking also includes other rule changes to clarify language or address inconsistencies.
