Updated links from Mike Elliott:
As you requested, I am providing the link to the MassDEP asbestos website. There you will find a link to the revised MassDEP regulation under the heading “MassDEP Regulations, Policies and Guidance.” And as the title suggests, you will also find useful guidance documents such as a Fact Sheet summarizing the revised regulation.

Within the revised regulation, Section 10 specifically covers the “Requirements for the Removal of Asbestos-containing Asphaltic Roofing and Siding Materials.” This statutory language replaces the former 1996 guidance policy of a similar title. Contrary to the old “carve-out” there is no longer any notification exemption for roofing material that contains 1% or more asbestos, but if you follow the prescribed work practices, which I’m told are the same as they have always been, then you can dispose of the waste roofing material in any solid waste landfill permitted to accept C&D waste.

At the bottom of the MassDEP asbestos website, you’ll also find links to the DLS asbestos regulatory program and the DLS asbestos license lists.
