the amount and type of hazardous waste generated. Use the following definitions. If they differ from current Laws, use the current Laws.
• Conditionally Exempt Generator - A conditionally exempt generator (CEG) generates 220 pounds or less of hazardous waste per month or 2.2 pounds or less of acutely hazardous waste per month and accumulates up to 2,200 pounds of hazardous waste or 2.2 pounds of acutely hazardous waste on- site.
00290.20 247 • Small Quantity Generator - A small quantity generator (SQG) generates 220 to 2,200 pounds of hazardous waste per month, can accumulate up to 13,200 pounds of hazardous waste on- site (or mo re with a permit), and ships hazardous waste off -site within 180 Days of generation.
• Large Quantity Generator - A large quantity generator (LQG) generates more than 2,200 pounds of hazardous waste per month or more than 2.2 pounds of acutely hazardous waste per month, and has no accumulation limit, but ships all hazardous waste off -site within 90 Days of generation. In addition to current Laws, comply with the following:
• If the Project generator category is SQG or LQG, or if it requires a hazardous waste identification number, obtain a Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) site identification number from the DEQ. Pay all fees and complete the RCRA application form as follows: • List the Contractor as the Site Contact, the Site Operator, the Hazardo us Waste Form Contact, and the Hazardous Waste Fee Contact. • List ODOT as the Site Location, the Land Owner, and the Legal Owner. • Fill in the Comments section with the following statement: "[Contractor name] is responsible for the following: All hazardous w aste management on-site for the duration of this construction Project , for delivery of the waste to a permitted recycling or disposal facility, and for all forms and fees associated with the hazardous waste management including cancellation of the RCRA site identification number at the end of the Project. ODOT is the owner of the waste and maintains long-term responsibility for the waste as required by RCRA, excluding all wastes generated solely from materials brought to the site by the Contractor, whic h remain the property of the Contractor." • The Contractor may sign hazardous waste manifests for the off -site shipment of hazardous wastes as the "offeror" rather than as the "generator". • Maintain all required waste management records, including monthly hazardous waste generation records, manifests, recycling and disposal receipts, test results, and annual DEQ reports. Submit monthly records to the Engineer by the fifteenth Day of the foll owing month and submit DEQ reports to the Engineer concurrently with DEQ. Keep copies for at least 3 years following completion of the Project and resolution of any regulatory violations or citations. • If the quantity of hazardous waste projected to be gen erated meets the requirements for a LQG, prepare a full Hazardous Waste Contingency Plan according to 40 CFR 265 Subpart D. Maintain a copy of the Contingency Plan on-site at all times during construction activities, readily available to employees and I nspectors. • If the quantity of hazardous waste projected to be generated meets the requirements for a n SQG, prepare a modified Hazardous Waste Contingency Plan according to 40 CFR 262.34(d)(5) and 40 CFR 265 Subpart C. Maintain a copy of the modified Conting ency Plan on -site at all times during construction activities, readily available to employees and I nspectors. • If the quantity of hazardous waste projected to be generated meets the requirements for a CEG, follow the contingency planning and storage requirements of the SQG unless the only potentially hazardous waste is aerosol cans smaller than 20 ounces. Limit storage to 180 Days and 2,200 pounds. Prepare a modified Hazardous Waste Contingency Plan and keep a copy on- site with emergency response procedures and contact information. 00290.20 248 • If the Project is an SQG or LQG, retain a Certified Hazardous Materials Manager (CHMM) in good standing and with experience managing the hazardous wastes associated with the Project to oversee waste management at the site. • All em ployees involved in the handling and management of CEG hazardous waste shall comply with the federal and State Laws for hazardous waste management. All employees involved in the handling of SQG and LQG hazardous waste shall be trained according to federal and State Laws. For LQ G hazardous waste projects, keep employee training records on-site and readily available. • If the quantity of hazardous waste generated in a month changes the generator category, immediately implement the requirements for the new cat egory and comply with them for the remainder of the year. Complete the new documentation and training requirements within 30 Calendar Days of the change. • Ensure hazardous waste containers are clearly and visibly labeled with the contents and accumulation start date, compatible with the contents and in good condition. Store them in a designated weather -protected area that is secured from public access, has secondary containment adequate to contain a release, and has sufficient aisle space to safely maneuver containers and respond to spills (minimum 30 inches). • If hazardous waste will be treated on -site, obtain approval from DEQ and the Engineer for each specific treatment or recycling process, treat wastes within accumulation tanks or closed containers that meet RCRA requirements, conduct treatment within the storage time for the applicable generator category, maintain current copies of all required notifications and waste analysis plans readily available on- site and request DEQ technical assistance prior to starting any on-site recycling or treatment.
transportation of hazardous substances and hazardous waste:
• Train all employees involved in transportation and shipping as required by US DOT. Use drivers who have a commercial drivers license with a hazardous materials endorsement when required. Ship hazardous wastes from SQG and LQG projects using a DEQ -registered hazardous waste transporter under a hazardous waste manifest. Ensure shipments are appropriately packaged and labeled, and vehicles are appropriately placarded. Submit copies of the completed manifests and documentation to the Engineer and retain copies for at least 1 year.
