  "text": "The following criteria apply to the landfilling of asbestos waste and to construction materials containing asbestos—\n(a) the waste must contain no hazardous substances other than bound asbestos, including fibres bound by a binding agent or packed in plastic,\n(b) construction material containing asbestos or other suitable asbestos waste can only be accepted in a landfill dedicated to these wastes or in a separate cell of a non-dedicated landfill, if it is sufficiently self-contained,\n(c) the zone of deposit must be covered daily and before each compacting operation with appropriate material and, if the waste is not packed, it must be regularly dampened down,\n(d) a final top cover must be put on the landfill or cell in order to avoid the dispersion of fibres,\n(e) no works may be carried out on the landfill or cell that could lead to a release of fibres (e.g., the drilling of holes), and\n(f) appropriate measures must be taken to limit the possible uses of the land after closure of the landfill in order to avoid human contact with the waste.",
