actually, it's John Frankovich, not McGrath, who tells us asbestos isn't a hazardous material. And actually, he's right. Asbestos is only dangerous, as a lung carcinogen, when pulverized in dust form. During removal, it must be wetted down (to prevent dust) and bagged. The danger would be that during transport and burial, packaging could be damaged, the material dry out, and blow into Winnemucca.
