Disposal of legacy engineered stone
Processing of legacy engineered stone for disposal (for example, crushing engineered stone off-cuts) must be controlled and the disposal must comply with any applicable jurisdictional waste management requirements (such as quantity or dust level limits of the load or watering prior to tipping).
