5. Marquette’s History andClassification

6. Marquette’s Hazardous Waste History • In 2010: • 8,281 pounds of Hazardous Waste • 1,204 pound of Non-Hazardous Waste • In 2009: • 20,157 pounds of Hazardous Waste • 13,413 pounds of Non-Hazardous Waste • In 2008: • 8,623 pounds of Hazardous Waste • 2,198 pounds of Non-Hazardous Waste • In 2007: • 12,397 pounds of Hazardous Waste • 8,018 pounds of Non-Hazardous Waste • Halogenated Solvents and Non-Halogenated Solvents • Veolia ES Technical Solutions disposes of materials • Small Quantity Generator to a Large Quantity Generator • Developing procedures and plans to comply with new regulations from this transition

7. Three Categories of Generators • Very Small Quantity Generator (VSQG) • < 220 lbs/month generation or < 2205 lbs total accumulation • Small Quantity Generator (SQG) • 220 - 2205 lbs/month generation or < 13,230 lbs total accumulation • Large Quantity Generator (LQG) • > 2205 lbs generation/month or > 13,230 lbs total accumulation • Acute Waste • >2.2 lbs/month generation or > 2.2 lbs accumulation at any time makes you a LQG

8. How much is that? 2200 lbs. (1000 kg) is about five 55-gallon drums

9. Hazardous Waste Determination Characteristic versus Listed Wastes

10. Hazardous Waste Determination • Characteristic Wastes • Ignitability • Corrosivity • Toxicity • Reactivity • EPA Listed Wastes • P Listed: Unused acutely Hazardous Waste • U Listed: Unused non-acutely hazardous waste • K Listed: Waste from Specific Sources • F Listed: Waste from Non- Specific Sources

11. Ignitable Wastes Flashpoint <140° F, or solids that easily catch fire. - Examples: acetone, xylene, and acetonitrile and other solvents Compressed flammable gases, such as propane Flammable solids, such as road flares or carbon. Ignitable materials are represented by a D001 waste code.

12. Corrosive Wastes - pH <2 or >12.5 - Capable of corroding steel at a rate greater than 0.25 inches per year. Examples: nitric acid, aqueous sodium hydroxide, hydrochloric acid. Corrosive materials are represented by a D002 waste code. Potassium Tert-butoxide, a flammable solid

13. Reactive Wastes Materials that undergo violent change: - react violently with water or air - capable of detonation - create toxic gases when exposed to pH extremes Examples: sodium metal, extremely dry picric acid, and organic peroxides. Reactive materials are represented by a D003 waste code.

14. Toxic Wastes • Materials that are poisonous, harmful and potentially deadly • Examples: lead acetate, mercuric chloride, benzene. The wastes are represented by codes from D004 – D043. These codes are specific to material types. For example: Mercury has a D009 code, Benzene has D018.

15. Examples of Toxic Contaminants Organics, continued: cresol, 1,4-dichlorobenzene, 1,2-dichloroethane, 1,1-dichloroethylene, 2,4-dinitrotoluene, hexachlorobenzene, hexachlorobutadiene, hexachloroethane, methyl ethyl ketone, nitrobenzene, pentachlorophenol, pyridine, tetrachloroethylene, trichloroethylene, 2,4,5-trichlrophenol, 2,4,6-trichlorophenol, vinyl chloride.

29. Hazardous Material Handling and Proper Personal Protective Equipment

30. Considerations when Handling Hazardous Materials • Use common sense! • Think before you act • Follow good housekeeping procedures • Clean-up after yourself • Always wear the proper PPE • Know the hazards of the materials you are working with! • Create and use chemical specific SOP’s (Safe Operating Procedures)

31. Material Handling and Proper PPE Controlling Hazards 1. Engineering Controls • Eliminate the hazard from the workplace 2. Administrative Controls • Limit worker contact with the hazard • Training/Procedures, Good Housekeeping 3. PPE • LAST RESORT

32. PPE = Last Resort • When PPE is the primary control measure, the hazard is still presentin the environment • Failure of the PPE or improper usage can expose the worker to the full effect of the hazards present in the environment

33. Types of PPE • Head Protection • Eye/Face Protection • Hearing Protection • Foot Protection • Respiratory Protection • Hand and Arm Protection • Electrical Protective Devices • Special Work Clothing

34. Considerations for PPE Selection: • The types of hazards you will be in contact with • Physical Hazards • Chemical Hazards • The specific chemicals you will be in contact with • The concentration of these chemicals • The length of time the PPE is to be worn • The durability of the PPE

35. PPE continued • PPE Limitations • Degradation • Permeation/Breakthrough • Penetration • Tears/Rips • Location • PPE Failure • Knowing how to recognize PPE failure is crucial since PPE is the last line of protection between you and the chemical • Limit contact time with the chemical/hazard and inspect and change PPE frequently

36. Satellite Accumulation Procedures

37. Satellite Accumulation • “A generator may accumulate as much as 55 gallons of hazardous waste…in containers at or near any point of generation…which is under the control of the operator…” • Up to 1 quart of acutely hazardous waste (P-coded) can be collected in a satellite accumulation area • Your research labs, student labs or other rooms where materials are collected and accumulated are considered to be Satellite Accumulation Areas

38. Satellite Accumulation • Material name must be on label – NO CHEMICAL FORMULAS OR ABBREVIATIONS!!! • The container must have the words “hazardous waste” • Containers must remain closed when not adding waste • Must be leak-proof and in good condition • Containers must be compatible with contents • No corrosive materials in metal containers • Store liquid wastes in secondary containers • Must be able to hold 110% of the largest containers volume • Containers must be moved to storage location within 3 days after being filled

39. Accumulation Start Date There are two (2) Regulations to follow: • Material can not be stored / accumulated in satellite accumulation area for more than one year. • Material can not be stored for more than 90 days in 90-Day Storage Area. So, please put the date that you start accumulating material on the Hazardous Waste Tag. Before submitting for disposal, please cross-out and initial by the old date and write in the current date

40. Example of Inadequate Labeling

41. Example of Inadequate Labeling Example of Inadequate Labeling

42. Container Management • Attach label BEFORE adding waste • Container must be closed when not adding waste • Lids must be on – no funnels • Containers should be kept in their designated areas • Keep the outsides of containers free of waste • Do not use the top of the container as a storage shelf • Free access to containers must be maintained at all times! • Segregate Chemicals according to compatibility

43. MARQUETTE UNIVERSITY CHEMICAL COMPATIBILITY IN STORAGE Keep stored incompatible chemicals apart from each other. Keep incompatible chemicals apart by cabinet, drawer, shelving unit or shelf. For liquid and high hazard chemicals, secondary containers are effective tools to prevent reactions between incompatible chemicals. When storing reactive chemicals, secondary containment can prevent degradation and reactions that occur during storage. It is best to use secondary containers made of materials that are non-reactive (i.e., polyethylene, polypropylene). Refer to Marquette’s Guidelines for Preventing Chemical Incompatibility Hazards. If there is an asterisk with the hazard storage class number (6*), the chemical is considered to be a particularly hazardous substance by Marquette University. A Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) is required for all particularly hazardous substances.

44. 90-Day Hazardous Waste Accumulation Area Procedures

45. 90-Day Storage Area • Full, labeled and dated containers should be brought here for storage until the next waste pickup • Accumulation date is the date it is brought into storage area • Containers labeled and label is facing forwards • Containers must be clean, closed and intact • Incompatible materials must be segregated • There must be at least 3 feet of aisle space at all times • The area must be free of debris and spills These parameters above are federal & state regulations that must be followed or fines will be incurred!!

46. The 90-day storage area is inspected weekly to ensure that all of these regulations are complied with • Waste can only be stored in the accumulation area for 90 days • Any waste brought into the storage area must be marked on the waste generation form that is to be sent to Dennis
