Contractor Licensing/Accreditations
“How it Works”
 Contractor submits application for a commercial license to
the Louisiana State Licensing Board for Contractors
{225-765-2301 or LSLBC.com};
 Attend and pass a 40-hour AHERA (Asbestos Hazard Emergency
Response Act) Supervisor/Contractor (S/C) training course at a
recognized training provider;
 Apply for LDEQ accreditation for Supervisor/ Contractor,
which will be the “Qualifying party” for the LSLBC;
 Qualifying Party must pass a business and law exam at the
LSLBC;
 Submit a copy of LDEQ S/C accreditation to LSLBC;
 Complete AHERA training and LDEQ accreditation for all
workers & supervisors.

How Would a Disposal Site Become
Recognized to Accept Regulated
Asbestos- Containing Waste Material
 LAC 33:III.5151 requires that landfills attain a Type I
(industrial) or a Type II (residential &/or commercial) solid waste
permit or hazardous waste (RCRA Subtitle C) permit first;
 An AAC-7 (is) or AAC-7 (os) form must then be completed and
submitted to the LDEQ Air Permits Division along with a copy of
the pages of the solid waste permit regarding asbestos handling
and disposal, and a copy of the signature page of the permit;
 LDEQ will review and approve the AAC-7 and therefore,
recognize the landfill to accept such wastes, or deny the
application.
