Asbestos Waste and Asbestos-Contaminated Soil

The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, after consultation with the City and County of Denver (CCOD), is conducting a stakeholder process to re-evaluate Section 5.5 of the Regulations Pertaining to Solid Waste Sites and Facilities that concern asbestos-contaminated soil management. The goal of the stakeholder process is to formulate revised regulations to present to the Solid and Hazardous Waste Commission for rulemaking in 2013. The stakeholder meetings are intended to get feedback from stakeholders on proposed changes.
