N220, Asbestos waste.
Tasmania
Asbestos waste
Tasmania publishes N220 in its controlled-waste list; the characteristic test remains relevant.
Is Tasmania N220 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. For national-list categories, Tasmania also needs a listed hazardous characteristic, which is presumed unless shown otherwise. Tasmania adds some controlled wastes of its own, so read the category and the local rules together.
Put N220 with the specific waste description in the controlled-waste consignment documentation. Record the producer, quantity, form, contaminants, registered transporter and receiver. The Tasmanian handling and transport rules apply. An incoming interstate controlled load needs EPA Tasmania's consignment authorisation, and another state's certificate doesn't give the receiving facility that.
What does Tasmania N220 cover?
Asbestos waste and discarded asbestos-containing material. Each state sets its own boundary, and material containing asbestos fibres, soil included, is generally treated as asbestos-containing. Victoria gives asbestos-bearing soil the N120 description.
