Hazardous Waste Management Guide
(click here to download this file in MS-Word)
BACKGROUND
In 1976 the congress of the United States passed the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) to address the disposal of hazardous waste. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was authorized by congress to draft and enforce regulations that cover the generation, storage and disposal of hazardous waste. The EPA's hazardous waste regulations are contained in Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) parts 260-280.
Businesses and institutions that generate hazardous waste are regulated according to the volume of waste they produce in any given calendar month. Based on the volume of waste generated through University operations, Georgia State University (GSU) is regulated as a large quantity generator and as such we are "fully regulated" and must comply with all of the RCRA generator regulations. Generators may be fined up to $25,000 per day per violation for improper management of hazardous waste.
The Department of Safety and Risk Management (DSRM) has been charged with the responsibility for managing the hazardous waste generated by GSU, and for ensuring that GSU remains in compliance with all RCRA regulations. To accomplish these tasks, DSRM has developed a comprehensive hazardous waste management program. The Hazardous Waste Policies and Procedures for Satellite Generators have been prepared to provide GSU personnel with guidelines for properly managing the wastes generated by their facilities and operations, until they are collected by DSRM personnel.
To achieve full compliance with the RCRA generator regulations and avoid fines and other penalties, the full cooperation of all GSU departments is essential.

The following brief discussion of the hazardous waste determination process is provided to familiarize GSU personnel with the types of materials which are classified as hazardous waste. It is not intended to provide comprehensive training for personnel to determine if a waste is a hazardous waste as defined by RCRA. Faculty and staff should contact DSRM at (404) 651-4866 if they suspect that their operations may be generating a hazardous waste. DSRM will provide any assistance needed to ensure that all hazardous waste generated at GSU is properly managed.
The EPA defines hazardous waste as being either a "Characteristic Hazardous Waste" or a "Listed Hazardous Waste". A Characteristic Hazardous Wastes exhibits one or more of the EPA hazard characteristics: ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity and toxicity. Listed Hazardous Wastes include discarded materials which are identified on any of the four lists of hazardous wastes:
F - List Waste: non-source specific (i.e., spent organic solvents)
U - List Waste: discarded commercial chemical products
P - List Waste: acutely hazardous discarded commercial chemical products
K - List Waste: source specific source (i.e., waste water treatment sludges from the manufacture of explosives)
It is highly unlikely that GSU will have any
industrial process or K wastes, but they are included
here for completeness. Copies of each EPA list (F, U,
P,
and K) are included in the appendix.
1. Characteristic Hazardous Wastes
Any waste which exhibits any of the following hazardous characteristics is a hazardous waste and is subject to all of the EPA's storage and disposal regulations. The following are definitions of each hazardous waste characteristic:
a. Ignitability - It is a liquid with a flash point of less than 140 degrees F (60 degrees C).
- It is a non-liquid capable, under standard temperature and pressure, of causing fire through friction, absorption of moisture, or spontaneous chemical changes, and, when ignited, burns vigorously and persistently.
- It is an ignitable compressed gas.
- It is an oxidizing substance.
b. Corrosivity
These wastes (primarily acids and bases) are technically defined as having a pH of less than 2.0 or greater than or equal to 12.5. In addition, any liquid waste which corrodes steel at a rate greater than 6.35 mm (0.25 inch) per year at a test temperature of 130 degrees F (55 degrees C) is also defined as Corrosive.
c. Reactivity
Reactive wastes have the potential for dangerous reactions when exposed to atmospheric changes, air, water or impact. Reactive hazardous wastes are technically defined as having any of the following properties:
- It is normally unstable and readily undergoes violent change without detonating.
- It reacts violently with water.
- It forms potentially explosive mixtures with water.
- When mixed with water, it generates toxic gases, vapors, or fumes in a quantity sufficient to present a danger to human health or the environment.
- It is a cyanide or sulfide bearing waste.
- It is capable of detonation or explosive reaction if it is subjected to a strong initiating source (impact) or if heated under confinement.
- It is readily capable of detonation or explosive decomposition or reaction at standard temperature and pressure.
- It is a forbidden explosive (49 CFR 173.5), or a Class A explosive (49 CFR 173.53), or a Class B explosive (49 CFR 173.88).
d. Toxicity Characteristic
The characteristic of toxicity is determined through quantitative laboratory analysis, according to the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP). Wastes which exhibit TCLP concentrations of any listed compound in excess of the threshold limits established by EPA are by definition hazardous wastes.

Materials which are identified on the F, U, P, and K waste lists may be hazardous wastes when they are:
(a)Spent (used and no longer suitable for their original intended purpose),
(b)Off-specification (outdated, contaminated, or otherwise unsuitable for their original intended purpose). or
(c) Discarded.

WASTE MANAGEMENT PROCEDURES FOR SATELLITE GENERATORS
A. Hazardous Waste Accumulation and Disposal
Laboratories, darkrooms or other facilities within the university which generate hazardous waste are designated as "satellite generators" and are subject to EPA regulations pertaining to the accumulating, storing, labeling and disposing of their hazardous waste.
1. Satellite Accumulation
The EPA allows the accumulation of up to 55 gallons of hazardous waste (characteristic or F, K, U listed waste codes, see appendix) or up to one quart of acutely hazardous waste (P listed waste codes, see appendix) in containers at or near any point of generation (i.e., in the laboratory, darkroom etc. where the wastes were originally generated) provided that storage is in compliance with the following guidelines:
Containers accumulating hazardous waste shall be labeled with the appropriate hazardous waste label (40 CFR 262.34(4)(c)(1)(ii)).
To minimize disposal costs, SRM consolidates compatible liquid wastes from smaller containers into 55 gallon drums. It is important that satellite generators accurately complete the hazardous waste label (see below) required on each container of hazardous waste with a comprehensive list of chemical wastes in the container and their percentages of total volume.
The following is an example of an improperly completed waste label.
The label below shows the proper way to complete a waste label. Note that chemical names are completely spelled out.
If a container holding hazardous waste is not in good condition (i.e. screw cap does not fit or is broken), or if it begins to leak, the hazardous waste shall be transferred from this container to one that is in good condition (40 CFR 265.171).
SRM maintains a supply of drums and containers for use by satellite generators for the sole purpose of accumulating and disposing of hazardous waste. However, it is recomended that satellite generators try to re-use glass reagent bottles (particularly the typical four liter size that many solvents are shipped in) for waste accumulation. Arrangements for delivery of drums, containers and other necessary tools can be made by calling (404) 651-4866. In the event of a leaking hazardous waste container, SRM should be notified immediately.
Hazardous wastes shall be accumulated in a container that is compatible with the waste (40 CFR 265.172).
A container holding hazardous waste shall be closed at all times during accumulation except when it is necessary to add or remove waste (40 CFR 265.173(a)).
Wrenches for sealing 55 gallon drum caps (or bungs) are available by calling SRM at (404) 651-4866.
Chemically incompatible wastes shall not be combined in the same waste container.
To prevent potentially dangerous chemical reactions, incompatible chemical wastes shall be segregated into separate containers. SRM is available to consult with any satellite generators on making determinations about chemical incompatability. Call (404) 651-4866 for assistance.
At least one inch of head space shall be left in all containers storing liquid waste to allow for liquid expansion.
2. Disposal
Once the satellite generator has reached the EPA accumulation limits of 55 gallons (for characteristic, F, K or U listed wastes) or one quart (for P listed, acutely hazardous), or at the discretion of the satellite generator, SRM will remove the properly labeled and containerized wastes from the satellite accumulation site (i.e, laboratory, darkroom, etc.). Upon acceptance of the waste containers, SRM will take full responsibility for the proper storage and ultimate disposal of the waste. Hazardous waste pick ups can be scheduled by calling (404) 651-4866.

Bio/Medical waste such as sharps, animal carcasses
and items contaminated with blood or body fluids, will be picked up by
SRM for proper disposal. Containers for bio/medical waste, bio spill kits,
sharps containers and autoclave bags are provided by SRM. For delivery
of containers or pick up of waste, call (404) 651-4866.
C. Broken Glass Disposal
Broken glass, glass pipettes or other disposable
glass items that could potentially cause injury, should be discarded in
a broken glass disposal box. Once this box is full, the GSU custodial staff
will remove and dispose of the entire container in the regular trash. Two
sizes of broken glass boxes are available through SRM. Call (404) 651-4866
for delivery.
D. Empty Drum Disposal
Empty 55 gallon and 15 gallon drums which have been used to contain substances such as commercial cleaning products (Physical Plant) or bulk quantities of chemical reagents (Chemistry Department) will be disposed of by SRM. Call (404) 651-4866 for pick up and disposal of empty drums.

A. Chemical Reagent Recycling Program
Frequently, DSRM will receive chemical reagents that have been discarded as waste by one laboratory, but could still be used by another laboratory. In an effort to recycle viable chemical reagents and to reduce the university's waste disposal costs, DSRM works with the chemical supply room to redistribute these reagents which are available free of charge to any university employee for use in their work at Georgia State University.
To request a current copy of the Chemical Reagent Recycling List, or to donate un-needed reagents to the program, please call DSRM at (404) 651-4866 or the Chemical Supply Room at (404) 651-2011.
B. Waste Reduction
Safety and Risk Management is available to consult with all satellite generators on a case-by-case basis to examine methods of reducing the volumes of hazardous wastes being generated on campus.
