Waste data should be added to this form at the time the wastes arrive at the central storage area. The departmental Hazardous Waste Liaison or other departmental representative should have the responsibility for maintaining this inventory. Copies of the hazardous waste inventory should be provided to the Hazardous Waste Coordinator upon request. While in storage, routine inspections should be conducted. Hazardous waste containers should be observed on a regular basis for leaks and other problems such as labeling and structural integrity.
Corrective actions can then proceed as necessary.
Since the storage of departmental hazardous wastes is concentrated in this central location, spill control equipment should be conveniently stored within this area. Neutralizing solutions, absorbent materials, and related safety equipment need to be easily accessible to those in charge of central storage areas or those responsible for spill response. The removal of departmental wastes must be scheduled with the Hazardous Waste Coordinator. All containers must be structurally sound and labeled in accordance with previously specified guidelines. Waste containers will be placed into one or more acceptable storage units within a vehicle designated for waste transportation.
