Household Hazardous Waste Part 111 Administrative Rules Rule 204 (2) The following wastes are not hazardous wastes (a) Household waste. Household waste means any waste material that is derived from households, including single and multiple residences, hotels and motels, bunkhouses, ranger stations, crew quarters, campgrounds, picnic grounds, and day-use recreation areas.
Although household hazardous waste is excluded from Part 111, it is regulated under Part 115 as a solid waste. In other words, household hazardous waste is regulated on the state and local level. Some solid waste is not well suited for landfill disposal and can be managed as “diverted waste” if collected and diverted to an environmentally preferred management option. Section 11521b was added to establish waste diversion center operating requirements that allow for the collection of site, source separated waste.
Some of the primary requirements for operating a waste diversion center include ensuring that the diverted waste is: • Collected safely and lawfully by personnel knowledgeable about safe management of the material • Collected at a secure location protected from weather, fire, physical damage, and vandals • Not processed except to the extent necessary for safe and efficient transport • M anaged to prevent release to the environment • Documented (waste types, volumes, and disposition) for at least 3 years • Not stored for more than 1 year
Very small hazardous waste generators, termed “Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generators (CESQGs)”, are excluded from many hazardous waste management requirements under Part 111. The HHW Program must ensure that the wastes received are from CESQGs, households, or are otherwise exempt from Part 111. The CESQG hazardous waste collected by HHW program remains CESQG regulated waste. CESQG liquids must meet Part 121 requirements. The HHW Program must maintain records that trace the receipt, characterization, storage, and off-site management of the CESQG regulated waste. They must also meet Rule 205(5) of Part 111. CESQG hazardous waste and household hazardous waste can be consolidated and managed together.
Upcoming Webinar (recording also available after delivery) Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generator and Liquid Industrial By-product Generator Requirements Thursday, M ay 18, 2017: 10:00 - 11:30 AM EDT In this webinar, attendees will learn what a generator must do to meet the conditionally exempt small quantity generator (CESQG) exemption from full regulation as a hazardous waste. Attendees will also learn how exempted CESQG hazardous waste liquids and liquid industrial by-product must be managed to meet the state’s unique liquid industrial by-product regulations.
