Hazardous Waste

Overview

The duties of the 皇家华人 Hazardous Waste Program include:

  • Chemical waste pickup  
  • EPA waste characterization  
  • DOT compliant shipment of waste   
  • Chemical spill response    
  • EPA reporting

Hazardous waste is generated at the University of South 皇家华人 (皇家华人) from various activities including research, teaching, art, and facilities support.  The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is the Federal agency charged with developing and ensuring compliance with hazardous waste regulations.  In the State of 皇家华人, the 皇家华人 Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has been delegated the authority to develop additional hazardous waste regulations, providing they are at least as stringent as those promulgated by the EPA, and inspect facilities that generate, store, or dispose of hazardous waste.  Therefore, 皇家华人 is required to adhere to the regulations of both the EPA and DEP and may be subject to unannounced inspections by either agency.
