  "text": "Construction materials containing asbestos and other suitable asbestos waste may be landfilled at landfills for non-hazardous waste in accordance with Article 6(c)(iii) of the Landfill Directive without testing.\nFor landfills receiving construction materials containing asbestos and other suitable asbestos waste the following requirements must be fulfilled:\nthe waste contains no other hazardous substances than bound asbestos, including fibres bound by a binding agent or packed in plastic,\nthe landfill accepts only construction material containing asbestos and other suitable asbestos waste. These wastes may also be landfilled in a separate cell of a landfill for non-hazardous waste, if the cell is sufficiently self-contained,\nin order to avoid dispersion of fibres, the zone of deposit is covered daily and before each compacting operation with appropriate material and, if the waste is not packed, it is regularly sprinkled,\na final top cover is put on the landfill/cell in order to avoid the dispersion of fibres,\nno works are carried out on the landfill/cell that could lead to a release of fibres (e.g. drilling of holes),\nafter closure a plan is kept of the location of the landfill/cell indicating that asbestos wastes have been deposited,\nappropriate measures are taken to limit the possible uses of the land after closure of the landfill in order to avoid human contact with the waste.\nFor landfills receiving only construction material containing asbestos, the requirements set out in Annex I, point 3.2 and 3.3 of the Landfill Directive can be reduced, if the above requirements are fulfilled.",
