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.

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.
b. The Permittee is held responsible for any discrepancies discovered by DAQ as a
result of any sampling and analysis of the recycled shingles and asphalt roofing
materials.
c. Recordkeeping Requirements - The Permittee shall maintain certifications that the
materials received and used are not ACM. These certifications shall be maintained at
the facility for a minimum of three years, and shall be made available to
representatives of the DAQ upon request. In addition, accurate records of the
following:

the production of asphalt concrete pavement.
ii. Each load or batch of recycled shingles shall include the following:
A. A delivery manifest document clearly showing the shipment content
and amount, its place and date of loading, and place and date of
destination.

otherwise asbestos-free as determined by PLM prior to grinding.
d. The Permittee shall be obligated to comply with any additional regulations or obtain
any additional permits associated with the receipt and/or storage of the recycled
asphalt roofing materials. This permit condition to use these materials in the asphalt
concrete manufacturing process creates no waiver from other applicable laws and
regulations.
e. The DAQ reserves the right to require additional testing and/or monitoring of the
recycled shingles/roofing materials in accordance with Rule 2Q. 0317.
14. VENDOR SUPPLIED RECYCLED No(s). 2 and 4 FUEL OIL REQUIREMENTS - In
accordance with Rule 2Q .0317, the Permittee is avoiding the applicability of Rule 2Q .0700
