No. 10-023SR\nDear Ms. Jannan:\nThis responds to your November 2, 20 I 0 letter regarding the transportation of hazardous waste\nunder the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-1S0). Specifically, you\nrequest clarification ofthe appropriate hazardous material description for hazardous waste that\ncontains constituents that are also listed hazardous substances. Your questions are paraphrased\nand answered as follows:\nQ1. A bulk bin of solid hazardous waste material meeting the EPA toxicity waste characteristic\n(Le., DOOS) due to the presence of lead also contains friable asbestos (i.e., a material included\namong the list of hazardous substances) in an amount less than the reportable quantity. The\nasbestos is not an EPA hazardous waste. Must the basic description of the hazardous material\naccount for the friable asbestos?\nA 1. Yes, the shipper ofthis material must account for the asbestos. Asbestos in friable fonn is\nlisted in the § 172.101 Hazardous Materials Table (HMT) as a material that presents a hazard\nduring transportation. Therefore, based on the infonnation provided, either \"NA3077,\nHazardous waste, solid, n.o.s., (D008), 9, PG III, (contains asbestos)\" or \"UN3077, Waste\nenvironmentally hazardous substance, solid, n.o.s., (D008, asbestos), 9, PG III\" are examples of\ndescriptions that could be used for the material.\nQ2. What would be the correct basic description ifthe solid hazardous waste (Le., D008)\nmaterial contained lead and friable asbestos in reportable quantities? Both lead and asbestos are\nlisted as hazardous substances in Table I to Appendix A of the § 172.101 HMT?\nA2. The shipper must still account for the asbestos. Based on the infonnation provided,\n\"NA3077, Hazardous waste, solid, n.o.s., (D008), 9, PG III, RQ (lead, asbestos)\" or \"UN3077,\nWaste environmentally hazardous substance, solid, n.o.s., (D008), 9, PG III, RQ (lead,\nasbestos)\" are examples of descriptions that could be used for the material. Special provision 8\nlimits use of the proper shipping name \"Other regulated substances, n.o.s.\" to hazardous\nsubstances that are not also hazardous wastes, therefore, even though the asbestos itself is not a\n\n<<>>\n\nhazardous waste, because it is contained in the solid hazardous waste material, \"Other regulated\nsubstances, n.o.s.\" is not an appropriate shipping description. See § 172.102( c)(1).\nI hope this infonnation is helpful.
