NOTES
*Cited as a violation during the 1997 EPD inspection of Kell Hall and NSC. Existing problems with these items would constitute a more serious violation as it would be a repeat violation.
1 Inspectors consider unlabeled containers as being unknown, thus unusable. Unless personnel can identify the contents as usable materials, inspectors will define the containers as waste because they meet the definition of a waste (…unusable or discarded material.). As such, all waste regulations apply to said container.
2 Listed Hazardous chemicals beyond their expiration dates meet the definition of a waste in 40CFR262 and must be handled according to waste regulations unless it is shown that this material is still in use.
3 Containers that are not in good condition are considered by inspectors as holding chemicals that are not used and are no longer usable thus meeting the definition of a waste unless it can be shown that the material is still in use.  U and P listed chemicals are considered to be a waste if the product is “off-spec”.
4 Chemicals in storage that are inherently waste-like or have no future use are considered waste.

 Please explain in detail any checked False above (if applicable):
