BoReTech" <br />,a <br />• Waste lacquer thinner must be transported by an approved, registered hauler to <br />an authorized hazardous waste treatment facility for recycling by fuel blending or <br />incineration. <br />• A hazardous waste manifest must be completed when transporting the waste. <br />RAGS AND WIPES <br />Textile materials (e.g., shop towels, uniforms, gloves, linens, etc.) which have become <br />soiled with hazardous waste during commercial or industrial use are exempt from <br />management as hazardous waste if all of the following requirements are met: <br />• The rags are made reusable by laundering or comparable methods of cleaning at <br />a facility (i.e., commercial laundry) that has a contingency plan for handling both <br />on-site and off-site emergencies involving the materials and which maintains <br />records of the date, type, and quantities by piecework or weight of the materials <br />laundered. <br />• Do not use rags to clean up or control a spill that is required to be reported to any <br />state or federal agency. <br />• Do not add hazardous waste after the materials' original use. <br />• Do not allow the rags to become so saturated that free liquids can be released <br />during transportation or storage of the materials. <br />• Store the rags in a fireproof or fire-resistant container labeled "Contaminated <br />Wipes for Laundering". <br />• Do not use paper towels or absorbents to absorb solvents or oils. If used, these <br />should be managed as a hazardous waste and/or characterized by an approved <br />vendor prior to disposal. <br />ABSORBENTS <br />Used absorbents can become contaminated to the point that they become hazardous; <br />however, this depends on the type and amount of material absorbed. <br />If a generator consistently generates the same type of absorbent waste, initial profiling <br />by an approved vendor will help to classify the waste absorbent for appropriate <br />disposal. <br />• A representative sample of the used absorbent should be profiled/tested by your <br />local waste disposal/recycling vendor. Once this profiling is completed, it does <br />not need to be repeated each time additional waste absorbent needs to be <br />disposed, as long as this new waste is similar to that previously tested. <br />• Do not mix absorbent used to clean up spills of solvents and degreasers with <br />absorbents used for oils and fuels. These waste absorbents should be stored <br />and profiled separately. Some regulated chemicals may cause the absorbent to <br />be classified as hazardous at any concentration <br />Boretech Hazardous Materials & Hazardous Waste Management Operations Plan Page 134 <br />
