17. RECYCLED ASPHALT SHINGLE REQUIREMENTS - In accordance with Rule 2Q .0317, the
Permittee is avoiding the applicability of Rule 2Q .0700 and 2D .1100 for asbestos, and 40 CFR 61,
Subpart M, National Emission Standard for Asbestos by using post-consumer reclaimed asphalt
roofing shingles (also known as PRAS and herein denoted as recycled shingles) which are
equivalent to their virgin or unadulterated counterparts. The Permittee is allowed to use the recycled
shingles and associated asphalt roofing materials provided the following conditions are met:
Specifications - The recycled shingles shall be considered equivalent to unadulterated asphalt and
aggregate for use in manufacturing of asphalt concrete by meeting the following criteria:
The recycled shingles and roofing materials are certified to be free of asbestos containing material
(ACM). ACM is defined as materials containing more than one percent (I %) of asbestos. This
certification shall be provided by demonstration that the materials sampled are representative of
the recycled asphalt roofing materials and contain less than 1 percent asbestos or are certified to
be asbestos free as measured by the method specified in appendix E, 40 CFR 763, Section 1,
polarized light microscopy (PLM). Certification shall be provided by NC-accredited Asbestos
Inspectors or Roofing Supervisors to sample the PRAS to meet the above criteria. Accreditation
shall be obtained through the Division of Public Health's Health Hazards Control Unit.
a. The Permittee is responsible for ensuring that the recycled shingles and roofing materials, as
used at the site, meet the approved criteria for unadulterated materials including meeting
minimum sampling criteria as specified by best practices. These practices shall include
visual inspection of each load for suspect ACM and a sampling of at least one sample event
per 100 tons of recycled shingles received for processing.
i. Each load or batch of recycled asphalt roofing materials purchased from or provided
by an outside vendor shall include a certification that the material does not contain
ACM and that it was tested in accordance with the best practices specified above, or
ii. If certification of the incoming recycled shingle material is not provided at delivery
by an outside vendor, the Permittee shall arrange for testing and certification of the
material as not being ACM, meeting the specifications outlined above, prior to use in
the process. The Permittee shall arrange for the results of such sampling and testing
to be provided in a manner and form consistent with meeting the recordkeeping
requirements cited below.
