Environmental Stewardship
It is the responsibility of all employees to manage chemical waste in a reasonable manner.
Failure to do so can result in harm to other employees and/or destruction of work areas due to fires, explosions, or spills.
![Page 4: Chemical Waste Management Refresher Training. Welcome to the North Atlantic Area Refresher Training in Chemical Waste Management Presented by the ASHM/CEPS](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012321/56649cf75503460f949c6bf5/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Responsibilities
Hazardous chemical wastes are governed by Federal, State, and local regulations.
Failure to manage waste properly can result in large fines and penalties; not only to the ARS, but to the individuals generating the waste.

Solid Waste vs. Hazardous Waste
Solid Waste: A solid, semi-solid, liquid, sludge, or contained gas, that is no longer needed, to be discarded, or has served its useful purpose.
Hazardous Waste: A solid waste that is listed by the EPA or exhibits one or more of four characteristics.
Ignitable Corrosive Reactive Toxic
![Page 8: Chemical Waste Management Refresher Training. Welcome to the North Atlantic Area Refresher Training in Chemical Waste Management Presented by the ASHM/CEPS](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012321/56649cf75503460f949c6bf5/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Hazardous Waste is only a small portion of the waste
generated in the workplace, but by far the most harmful
to the nature and the environment.
![Page 9: Chemical Waste Management Refresher Training. Welcome to the North Atlantic Area Refresher Training in Chemical Waste Management Presented by the ASHM/CEPS](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012321/56649cf75503460f949c6bf5/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Characteristic Hazardous Waste
Ignitable Wastes
A waste is considered to have EPA's ignitability characteristic if it:
Is a liquid with a flashpoint of 60°C (140°F) or below (alcohols containing less than 24% alcohol by
volume are not considered ignitable); or,
Is a flammable or ignitable compressed gas

Section II
Waste Minimization
![Page 17: Chemical Waste Management Refresher Training. Welcome to the North Atlantic Area Refresher Training in Chemical Waste Management Presented by the ASHM/CEPS](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012321/56649cf75503460f949c6bf5/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
What is Waste Minimization?
• Waste minimization includes: source reduction practices that reduce or eliminate waste generation at the source; and environmentally sound recycling practices, where source reduction is not economically practical.
![Page 18: Chemical Waste Management Refresher Training. Welcome to the North Atlantic Area Refresher Training in Chemical Waste Management Presented by the ASHM/CEPS](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012321/56649cf75503460f949c6bf5/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Source Reduction
• includes any practice that reduces the
quantity and/or toxicity of pollutants
entering a waste stream prior to recycling,
treatment, or disposal.
![Page 19: Chemical Waste Management Refresher Training. Welcome to the North Atlantic Area Refresher Training in Chemical Waste Management Presented by the ASHM/CEPS](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012321/56649cf75503460f949c6bf5/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Examples of Source Reduction
• equipment or technology modifications,
• reformulation or redesign of products,
• substitution of less toxic raw materials,
• improvements in work practices,
• maintenance,
• better inventory control.
![Page 20: Chemical Waste Management Refresher Training. Welcome to the North Atlantic Area Refresher Training in Chemical Waste Management Presented by the ASHM/CEPS](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012321/56649cf75503460f949c6bf5/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Recycling
• includes the use, reuse and/or reclamation
of waste residuals (that may be designated
as a hazardous waste) or materials in a
hazardous waste.
![Page 21: Chemical Waste Management Refresher Training. Welcome to the North Atlantic Area Refresher Training in Chemical Waste Management Presented by the ASHM/CEPS](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012321/56649cf75503460f949c6bf5/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
A material is
“used or reused”
• if it is used as an ingredient in a process to
make a product or, or if it is used as an
effective substitute for a commercial
product.
![Page 22: Chemical Waste Management Refresher Training. Welcome to the North Atlantic Area Refresher Training in Chemical Waste Management Presented by the ASHM/CEPS](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012321/56649cf75503460f949c6bf5/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
A material is “reclaimed”
• if it is processed to recover a usable
product, or if it is regenerated.
![Page 23: Chemical Waste Management Refresher Training. Welcome to the North Atlantic Area Refresher Training in Chemical Waste Management Presented by the ASHM/CEPS](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012321/56649cf75503460f949c6bf5/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
How Can “You” Minimize Waste?
• Plan ahead
• Order only the amount needed
• Avoid storing excess chemicals
• Share unneeded chemicals
• Keep chemicals properly labeled
![Page 24: Chemical Waste Management Refresher Training. Welcome to the North Atlantic Area Refresher Training in Chemical Waste Management Presented by the ASHM/CEPS](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012321/56649cf75503460f949c6bf5/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Why Minimize Waste?
• Reduce costs
• Increase process efficiency and productivity
• Reduce present and future regulatory burdens
• Improve workplace safety
• Improve environmental quality
• Maintain or improve institutional image
![Page 25: Chemical Waste Management Refresher Training. Welcome to the North Atlantic Area Refresher Training in Chemical Waste Management Presented by the ASHM/CEPS](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012321/56649cf75503460f949c6bf5/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Section III
How to Manage and Contain Waste
![Page 26: Chemical Waste Management Refresher Training. Welcome to the North Atlantic Area Refresher Training in Chemical Waste Management Presented by the ASHM/CEPS](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012321/56649cf75503460f949c6bf5/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Satellite Accumulation Areas (SAA)
• All containers of hazardous waste must be stored in an area designated as a satellite accumulation area. Satellite accumulation areas must be established in the area where the waste was generated and under the direct control of the individual who generated the waste.
![Page 27: Chemical Waste Management Refresher Training. Welcome to the North Atlantic Area Refresher Training in Chemical Waste Management Presented by the ASHM/CEPS](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012321/56649cf75503460f949c6bf5/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Accumulation Limits in SAA’s
• A SAA may accumulate: – 55 gallons of non-acute waste – Up to 1 quart of acutely hazardous waste
• There is no limit as to how long waste may be accumulated in each waste container in a SAA.
• However, once the container is full and/or the above stated limits are exceeded the waste must be removed from the work area within three working days .
![Page 28: Chemical Waste Management Refresher Training. Welcome to the North Atlantic Area Refresher Training in Chemical Waste Management Presented by the ASHM/CEPS](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012321/56649cf75503460f949c6bf5/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Condition of Hazardous Waste Containers
• Containers must be in good condition,• Have no rust, pinholes, dents, leaks, or chemical
deposits on the outside,• Container cap must be free of cracks and seals
tightly – no corks, stoppers, foil, and parafilm,• Container can not leak if inverted – no beakers,
flasks, or coffee cans

Accumulation of Chemical Hazardous Waste
• Keep hazardous waste containers closed
All containers of chemical
hazardous waste must be
closed at all times except
when waste is being added
or removed from the container.
