MAINTENANCE HAZARDOUS WASTE MANUAL <br />Chapter 1 <br />Page 9 <br />A discarded material is any of the following: <br />1. Relinquished materials, as specified in subdivision requirements. <br />2. Recycled materials, as specified in subdivision requirements. <br />3. Materials considered inherently waste -like, as specified in the regulations <br />adopted by the department requirements. <br />A material is a waste if it is relinquished by any of the following: <br />1. Disposed of. Burned or incinerated. <br />2. Accumulated, stored, or treated, but not recycled, before, or in lieu of, <br />being relinquished by being disposed of, burned, or incinerated. <br />3. A material is a waste if it is recycled, accumulated, stored, or treated <br />before recycling, except as provided in Section 25143.2. (H & S). <br />A material is a waste if it poses a threat to public health or the environment and <br />meets either or both of the following conditions: <br />1. It is mislabeled or not adequately labeled, unless the material is correctly <br />and/or adequately labeled within 10 days after discovery of mislabeled or <br />inadequate labeling. <br />2. It is packaged in deteriorated or damaged containers, unless the material is <br />contained in sound or undamaged containers within 96 hours after discovery <br />of deterioration and/or damage. <br />The determination of the hazardous status of wastes rests with the California Department <br />of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC), Local Health Department, Water Quality Control <br />Board, Air Quality Control Boards, or other Federal or State Regulatory Agencies. These <br />determinations may vary in different parts of the State; therefore, it is necessary to be <br />familiar with the disposal requirements of the local regulatory agencies. <br />July 2018 <br />
