Sierra Chemical Co. <br />Hazardous Waste Management Plan <br />1. A waste that exhibits characteristics that may: <br />a. Cause, or significantly contribute, to an increase in mortality or an increase in serious <br />irreversible, incapacitating reversible, illness, or: <br />b. Pose a substantial present or potential hazard to human health or the environment <br />when it is improperly treated, stored, disposed, or otherwise managed; and <br />2. The characteristic can be: <br />a. Measured by an available standardized test method which is reasonably within the <br />capability of generators of waste or private sector laboratories; or <br />b. Reasonably detected by generators of waste through their knowledge of their waste. <br />Waste stream determinations should be managed by the EHSS Manager. All rags, paper towels, and <br />other absorbent material that is used or managed with known hazardous wastes will be evaluated <br />according to the figure in Appendix B to determine if that material meets the definition of hazardous <br />waste noted above. <br />5.2 Universa! Waste <br />According to Title 22 CCR Division 4.S Chapter 23, the following waste streams may be managed as <br />Universal Waste: <br />• Electronic devices (includes any device with or without a Cathode Ray Tube (CRT), including TVs, <br />computer monitors, cell phones, VCRs, computer CPUs and portable DVD players; <br />• Batteries (nickel cadmium, alkaline, silver button, etc.); <br />• Electric lamps (fluorescent tubes and bulbs, high-intensity discharge lamps, sodium vapor lamps <br />and electric lamp that contain added mercury); <br />• Mercury <br />-containing equipment (thermostats, mercury switches, thermometers, etc.); <br />• CRTs (glass picture tubes removed from devices such as televisions and computer monitors; <br />• CRT glass (CRTs that have been accidentally broken or processed for recycling); and <br />• Non -empty aerosol cans <br />Sierra Chemical Co. generates waste from the following locations/operations on site. Table 3 identifies <br />the locations and operations of the universal wastes generated. <br />Table 3 <br />Universal Wastes <br />Issue date: <br />Process Generating Waste <br />Light BUlbs <br />General <br />replacement/maintenance <br />Aerosol Cans (Empty) <br />Labeling <br />containers <br />Alkaline Batteries <br />General <br />use <br />5.3 Empty Containers <br />Empty containers may be considered hazardous waste if they are not managed appropriately. For <br />containers that have been utilized for the storage of acute hazardous waste (P -listed waste), the <br />container must be triple rinsed to be considered empty and no longer hazardous waste. For non-acute <br />hazardous waste (U -listed, F -listed, K -listed and characteristic waste) the container is considered empty <br />if: <br />Prepared By: <br />Issue date: <br />Replaces: <br />Page: <br />ACT Environmental Services, Inc. <br />March 4, 2016 <br />NA <br />11 of 23 <br />
