Battery acid is an <br /> example. <br /> Hazardous Waste -Waste that exhibits one or more potentially hazardous <br /> characteristic: toxic,reactive, ignitable, or corrosive, or if it is listed as <br /> hazardous in applicable regulations <br /> Ignitable -Hazardous wastes that can create fires under certain conditions, <br /> are spontaneously combustible, or have a flash point less than 60 °C (140 °F). <br /> Examples include waste oils and used solvents. <br /> Large Quantity Generator (LQG) -Facilities that generate 1,000 kilograms <br /> per month or more of hazardous waste, or more than 1 kilogram per month <br /> of acutely hazardous waste. <br /> Reactive-Hazardous wastes that are unstable under "normal" conditions. <br /> They can cause explosions, toxic fumes, gases, or vapors when heated, <br /> compressed, or mixed with water. Examples include lithium-sulfur batteries <br /> and explosives <br /> Safety Data Sheet (SDS) -Written documents that provide information on <br /> the hazards of substances and how they should be safely used, stored, <br /> transported and disposed of. SDSs also describe emergency procedures, <br /> such as what to do in the event of a spill or fire. <br /> Satellite Accumulation Area- A temporary collection area for hazardous <br /> waste in a container, not a tank, located at or near the point (i.e., process or <br /> piece of equipment) where the waste is generated. <br /> Secondary Containment-a second barrier or an outer wall of a double <br /> enclosure which will contain any leak or spill from a storage container. <br /> CGA 27 MAV 2015 <br />
