HazardousWasteManagement inUFResearchLaboratories
Overview
• The Resource Conservation & Recovery Act (RCRA) of 1976 established “Cradle‐to‐Grave” management responsibility for generators of Hazardous Waste
• Federal/State regulations define standards for Hazardous Waste Management
• University of Florida Hazardous Waste Management policies and procedures are based on Federal and State regulations
Havewaste?• No – happy day
• Yes – management plan
HWManagementplan• Step 1 ‐ Assign Waste Manager(s)
• Step 2 – Facility audit
• How much HW do we generate in a month?
• What kind of waste do we generate?
• Step 3 –
• Evaluate generator requirements
• Implement requirements
• Step 4 – regular reviews
• Step 5 – regular disposal
• Step 6 – keep records of every transfer

PESTICIDESPRAYRESIDUES
• Many pesticides and herbicides are hazardous waste when disposed…
Pesticiderinsates• Rinse Water
• Improperly disposed RINSE WATER from application equipment has great potential for causing ground‐ and surface‐water contamination. • •• Don't discharge rinse water to the ground.
• •• Don't discharge rinse water to septic systems‐‐ you're increasing the chance that it will get into the ground water.
• •• Don't discharge rinse water to ditches or streams‐‐ that's illegal and may cause damage to neighbor's crops, trees, or be a serious hazard
to fish and other wildlife.
• •• Don't bury rinse water‐‐it may contaminate ground water.
• •• Do minimize rinse water‐‐wash out equipment only when necessary.
• •• Do re‐apply rinse water to a labeled site‐‐this is allowed under federal law and will not result in an applied concentration above the label
recommendation.
• •• Do re‐use rinse water to dilute the next batch of formulation, as long as the site to which the rinse water is applied is a labeled site. Up to
five percent of the water for dilution may be rinse water (Figure 16).
