Description

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health has four locations (Cincinnati, OH, Morgantown, WV, Pittsburgh, PA, and Spokane, WA) that are basic science research facilities. All four sites are considered “small Quantity Generator” of Hazardous Waste. The average monthly quantities are listed; Spokane 50 lbs., Pittsburgh 150 lbs., Cincinnati 100 lbs., Morgantown 500 lbs. of hazardous waste.

NIOSH currently has approximately 10,000 different chemicals in relatively small quantities. The nature of the hazardous waste is described below. All sites will require hazardous waste pick-up four times a year, once a quarter.

Most of the hazardous waste (described under” “Hazardous Chemical Waste” below) is shipped in a lab-pack configuration, which are small containers that the contractor is expected to pack into their drums or other overpack containers. Small Quantity Generators (SQG) generates 200 to 2,200 pounds of hazardous waste per month. Requirements for Small Quantity Generator include the following: SQG may accumulate hazardous waste on site for 180 days without a permit (or 270 days if shipping a distance greater than 200 miles).

The quantity of hazardous on-site waste must never exceed 13,200 pounds. Waste will include: Hazardous Chemical Waste, such as: Flammable liquids (e.g., alcohol, xylene, acetonitrile, ethyl acetate) Non-pouring flammables (gas cylinders, solids, metal powders) Inorganic acids Organic Acids (including flammable acids) Inorganic Bases Organic Bases (including flammable bases) Oxidizers Metals (solids) Metals (powders) U-listed waste P-listed waste (e.g. Beryllium powder, Sodium azide, Vanadium oxide, Vanadium pentoxide, Zinc dimethyldithiocarbamate, Sodium cyanide, Potassium cyanide, Phenylthiourea, Methyl parathion, Osmium tetroxide, p-nitroaniline, heptachlor, Epinephrine, Endosulfan, Dieldrin, Diisopropylfluorophosphate, chloroacetaldehyde, Carbon Disulfide, Benzyl chloride, Arsenic trioxide, Vanadic acid (ammonium salt), Acrolein, Aldrin) Peroxides Reactive (e.g. cyanide, isocyanate, 2, 4-dinitrophenol) Mercury compounds Non-hazardous solids (non-RCRA waste) Non-hazardous liquids (non-RCRA waste) Gas cylinders with toxic, corrosive, flammable, oxidizing or refrigeration gases.
