Waste
Type
Asbestos is a toxic waste and is regulated for disposal purposes.
Source
This type of waste comes from equipment that has been insulated with asbestos or from
other asbestos-containing building material wastes.
Examples include asbestos-containing material (ACM) from:
Glasweld panels,
Roofing products,
Insulation,
Transite, and
Gaskets containing asbestos.
Asbestos
Survey &
Removal
Asbestos is nearly impossible to identify by visual inspection techniques. Only a licensed
asbestos removal contractor shall be used to survey projects where asbestos is suspected.
Also, because use of asbestos was phased out after 1981, records that document the age of
the facility or equipment can be a useful determinant that ACM is not present.
Without other objective data, suspect ACM must be identified by taking samples and
analyzing them to verify the presence of asbestos.
Waste
Vendors
Handling and disposal of any asbestos shall be done by an ROWAN-approved subcontractor.
Shipping
Name
Case by Case
Additional
Notes
All rigs built after the Rowan Gorilla IV (1986) should have been built asbestos free. Rigs built
before then have the potential of asbestos. Any handling of ACM should be done in planned
and controlled environment.
It is recommended that ROWAN retain all records associated with asbestos for a minimum of
Forty (40) years

Waste
Type
Empty drums or containers that previously held a product for use.
Source Various uses and areas.
Disposal
Methods
Empty containers may be shipped for recycling or sent for land disposal depending on the last
contents and if they have been rinsed or not. Please note if containers are to be rinsed, the
rinseate must be accumulated as a waste material.
Shipping
Name
Case by case. If the product it previously contained is non-regulated by DOT, the empty
containers are non DOT regulated. If container previously held a DOT regulated material (and
the empty container has not been triple rinsed), the container maintains the same DOT
shipping name as when full except the phrase “empty container last containing….” Is added
before the proper shipping name.
Additional
Notes
Please note the difference between what DOT calls “empty” versus what EPA calls “empty”
(per RCRA guidelines). DOT empty means the container is drained dry and rinsed clean. EPA
empty means the container is drained dry (per commonly used methods to empty a
container). EPA does not require rinsing of the empty container unless it last contained a
discarded commercial chemical listed in 40 CFR 261.33 (“P” listed chemicals).
Labels
Recommend adding a label stating “EMPTY”. Do not obliterate the original contents label if
original material was hazardous per DOT (49 CFR 172.101) unless the container has been
triple rinsed.

WASTE SHIPMENTS IN THE GULF OF MEXICO
All Waste shipments must be completed in EHS Insight and logged in The Garbage
Record Book. EHS Insight will provide the Dangerous Goods Form required by IMDG and
DOT to transport the material from the rig to the dock.
RMS-QHSE-0203 WASTE MANAGEMENT POLICY / PROCEDURE
RMS-QHSE-0205 GARBAGE MANAGEMENT POLICY / PROCEDURE
Materials that are considered waste will be shipped from the rig to the dock as a
hazardous material, if it meets the criteria as a hazardous material per IMDG Code
and/or DOT regulations
Once the material has been received at the dock, the materials will then be deemed a
waste and Rowan’s waste vendors will then provide the proper labeling, paperwork,
transportation and disposal in accordance with 29 CFR (USDOT) and 40 CFR (RCRA-EPA).
Final paperwork from the disposal facilities will be sent to the Rowan Corporate HSE
department for record retention.
