E-IOC: REGULATED WASTE MANAGEMENT For Large Quantity Generators (LQG's) 1. DETERMINING IF WASTE IS HAZARDOUS OR HAZARDOUS Because it requires detailed understanding of the hazardous waste regulations to determine whether waste streams are hazardous, the best way to determine if a waste stream is hazardous is to contact your Corporate Environmental Manager(CEM) assigned to your regional area. They will provide assistance and will coordinate assistance with an approved hazardous waste contractor, if needed. 2. _MAINTAINING ALL REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION_AND RECORDS • Once you have completed the evaluation, a hazardous waste management contractor will provide comprehensive waste profiles for your listed streams. File these profiles and future profiles in File #3110 (Hazardous Waste Profiles). • For each shipment of regulated waste, an approved hazardous waste contractor will assist you in preparing a manifest. You will need to file your copy of the manifest in File#3120 (Hazardous Waste Manifests). You should receive a copy of the completed manifest from the disposal facility verifying that the waste was received and disposed of properly within 35 days. File this copy with your original in File#3120 (Hazardous Waste Manifests). If you do not receive a copy of the completed manifest from the disposal company with 35 days, contact the CEM assigned to your facility and they will assist you in preparing and submitting an"Exception Report". File a copy of the"Exception Report" with the manifest in question in File#3120 (Hazardous Waste Manifests). • Weekly Waste Inspection of Waste Storage Area: After completing the weekly inspection and filling out the inspection form, file in File#3130 (Hazardous Waste Area Inspection Reports). • Hazardous Waste Storage Area Log Book: The log book should contain the following information: (a) Description of each waste containers in the storage area. (b) Dates/times when waste containers were placed in and removed from the storage area. (c) Amount of waste(in pounds) in each container. This must be in pounds to document you have more than a total of 2,220 pounds hazardous waste generated in one month. Under 2,220 lbs per month for the entire year would allow you to become a Small Quantity Generator(SQG). Conversion factors to convert liquid volumes to pounds measurement can be obtained from the assigned to your site or from the approved hazardous waste management contractor. (d) Dates/times/amounts when waste is added to containers in storage area(in pounds). Again, this helps to document the total amount of hazardous waste generate per month and assists you to determine your hazardous waste generator status. When log books are completed, file in File#3130 (Hazardous Waste Storage Area Reports). 3. HANDLING AND STORING REGULATED WASTE STREAMS A wastestream specific procedure has been prepared that describes all handling and storing requirements. The applicable procedures must be reviewed by those responsible for managing the waste stream. (See Attached) E10a - 1
