NR 447.14(1)(b)
(b) Cover the asbestos-containing waste material with at least 15 centimeters (6 inches) of compacted nonasbestos-containing material, and grow and maintain a cover of vegetation on the area adequate to prevent exposure of the asbestos-containing waste material. In desert areas where vegetation would be difficult to maintain, at least 8 additional centimeters (3 inches) of well-graded, nonasbestos crushed rock may be placed on top of the final cover instead of vegetation and maintained to prevent emissions.
NR 447.14(1)(c)

NR 447.14(1)(d)
(d) For inactive waste disposal sites for asbestos tailings, a resinous or petroleum-based dust suppression agent that effectively binds dust to control surface air emissions may be used instead of the methods in
pars. (a) to
(c). Use the agent in the manner and frequency recommended for the particular asbestos tailings by the manufacturer of the dust suppression agent to achieve and maintain dust control. Obtain prior written approval of the department to use other equally effective dust suppression agents. For purposes of this paragraph, any used, spent or other waste oil is not considered a dust suppression agent.

(2) Unless a natural barrier adequately deters access by the general public, install and maintain warning signs and fencing as follows, or comply with
sub. (1) (b).
NR 447.14(2)(a)
(a) Display warning signs at all entrances and at intervals of 100 m (328 feet) or less along the property line of the site or along the perimeter of the sections of the site where asbestos-containing waste material was deposited. The warning signs shall conform with all the following:
NR 447.14(2)(a)1.
1. Be posted in such a manner and location that a person can easily read the legend.
NR 447.14(2)(a)3.

(c) When requesting a determination on whether a natural barrier adequately deters public access, supply information enabling the department to determine whether a fence or a natural barrier adequately deters access by the general public.
NR 447.14(3)
(3) The owner or operator may use an alternative control method that has received prior approval of the administrator rather than comply with the requirements of
sub. (1) or
(2).
NR 447.14(4)
(4) Notify the department in writing at least 45 days prior to excavating or otherwise disturbing any asbestos-containing waste material that has been deposited at a waste disposal site under this section, and follow the procedures specified in the notification. If the excavation will begin on a date other than the one contained in the original notice, notice of the new start date shall be provided to the department at least 10 working days before excavation begins and in no event may excavation begin earlier than the date specified in the original notification. Include the following information in the notice:
NR 447.14(4)(c)
(c) Procedures to be used to control emissions during the excavation, storage, transport and ultimate disposal of the excavated asbestos-containing waste material. If deemed necessary, the department may require changes in the emission control procedures to be used.
NR 447.14(4)(d)
(d) Location of any temporary storage site and the final disposal site.
NR 447.14(5)
(5) After November 1, 1992, within 60 days of a site becoming inactive, record, in accordance with
ch. 706, Stats., a notation on the deed to the facility property and on any other instrument that would normally be examined during a title search; this notation shall in perpetuity notify any potential purchaser of the property that:
NR 447.14(5)(a)
(a) The land has been used for the disposal of asbestos-containing waste material.

447.13 or
447.18 shall meet the following requirements:
NR 447.17(1)
(1) Either there shall be no visible emissions to the outside air from any active waste disposal site where asbestos-containing waste material has been deposited, or the requirements of

(c) Upon request and supply of appropriate information, the department shall determine whether a fence or a natural barrier adequately deters access by the general public.
NR 447.17(3)
(3) Rather than meet the no visible emission requirement of
sub. (1), at the end of each operating day, or at least once every 24-hour period while the site is in continuous operation, the asbestos-containing waste material that has been deposited at the site during the operating day or previous 24-hour period shall:

For purposes of this paragraph, any used, spent or other waste oil is not considered a dust suppression agent.
NR 447.17(4)
(4) Rather than meet the no visible emission requirement of
sub. (1), use an alternative emissions control method that has received prior written approval by the administrator as described under

(b) As soon as possible and no longer than 30 days after receipt of the waste, send a copy of the signed waste shipment record to the waste generator.
NR 447.17(5)(c)
(c) Upon discovering a discrepancy between the quantity of waste designated on the waste shipment records and the quantity actually received, attempt to reconcile the discrepancy with the waste generator. If the discrepancy is not resolved within 15 days after receiving the waste, immediately report in writing to the department staff person identified in the waste shipment record. Describe the discrepancy and attempts to reconcile it, and submit a copy of the waste shipment record along with the report.
NR 447.17(5)(d)
(d) Retain a copy of all records and reports required by this subsection for at least 2 years.
NR 447.17(6)
(6) Maintain, until closure, records of the location, depth and area, and quantity in cubic meters (cubic yards) of asbestos-containing waste material within the disposal site on a map or diagram of the disposal area.
