CO Code § 25-15-401 (2021)
2021 Colorado Code|Title 25 - Public Health and Environment|Article 15 - Hazardous Waste|Part 4 - Infectious Waste|§ 25-15-401. Legislative Declaration

  The general assembly hereby finds that there is a need for more clarity and uniformity regarding the definition of infectious waste and in the requirements for the handling, treatment, and disposal thereof and that the absence of such clarity and the inappropriate designation of general waste as infectious waste will result in further substantial and unnecessary costs, disparity, and confusion in the management of infectious waste, ultimately affecting many business and residential operations and facilities, including the operations and quality of care rendered by health-care providers.    For the purposes set forth in subsection (1) of this section, the provisions of this part 4 are enacted as a matter of statewide concern. The provisions of this part 4 shall not apply to infectious waste which is also deemed to be hazardous waste pursuant to section 25-15-101 (6), nor shall infectious waste be deemed hazardous waste solely because it is characterized as infectious waste.    The general assembly further finds that, because of the nature of infectious waste and the manner of its designation as provided in this part 4 and because this part 4 recommends portions of the guidelines of the United States environmental protection agency, no rules or regulations governing the generators of infectious waste are necessary for nor shall be applicable to the implementation of this part 4. This limitation shall not be construed to limit any other rule-making which is permitted under other authorizing statutes.     History.

CO Code § 25-15-402 (2021)
2021 Colorado Code|Title 25 - Public Health and Environment|Article 15 - Hazardous Waste|Part 4 - Infectious Waste|§ 25-15-402. Infectious Waste - Definitions

  For the purposes of this part 4 and statewide applicability:   “Infectious waste” means waste capable of producing an infectious disease and requires the consideration of certain factors necessary for induction of disease. These factors include:   Presence of a pathogen of sufficient virulence;    Dose;    Portal of entry;    Resistance of host.       For a waste to be infectious, it must contain pathogens with sufficient virulence and quantity so that exposure to the waste by a susceptible host could result in disease. All the factors specified in paragraph (a) of this subsection (1) must be present simultaneously for disease transmission to occur and must be present in a manner which constitutes a substantial risk of infection to humans.         Infectious waste shall be designated as such by the generator in accordance with this part 4. Such designation shall not be based solely upon any source or type of waste but shall be based upon the factors specified in subsection (1) of this section.    It is recommended by the general assembly that the following categories of waste, as published in the “EPA Guide for Infectious Waste Management”, May 1986, by the United States environmental protection agency, be designated as infectious:   Isolation wastes from persons diagnosed as having a disease caused by an organism requiring, pursuant to recommendations by the centers for disease control in the 1988 publication “Biosafety in the Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratory” (second edition), biosafety level IV containment;    Cultures and stocks of infectious agents and associated biologicals;    Human blood and blood products and body fluids consisting of serum, plasma and other blood components, cerebrospinal fluid, synovial fluid, pleural fluid, peritoneal fluid, pericardial fluid, and amniotic fluid;    Human pathological/anatomical waste consisting of tissues and body parts that are discarded from surgical, obstetrical, autopsy, and laboratory procedures;    Contaminated sharps;    Contaminated laboratory or research animal carcasses, body parts, and bedding.

2021 Colorado Code|Title 25 - Public Health and Environment|Article 15 - Hazardous Waste|Part 4 - Infectious Waste|§ 25-15-402.5. Disposition of Fetal Tissue

  As used in this section, unless the context otherwise requires, “fetal death” means death prior to the complete expulsion or extraction from its mother of a product of human conception, irrespective of the duration of pregnancy. The death is indicated by the fact that after such expulsion or extraction the fetus does not breathe or show any other evidence of life such as beating of the heart, pulsation of the umbilical cord, or definite movement of voluntary muscles.    Nothing in this part 4 shall be deemed to prohibit the treatment of the remains from a fetal death pursuant to article 135 of title 12.     History.

2021 Colorado Code|Title 25 - Public Health and Environment|Article 15 - Hazardous Waste|Part 4 - Infectious Waste|§ 25-15-403. Generator Management Plan

  Each generator of infectious waste shall develop and implement an on-site infectious waste management plan which is appropriate for the particular facility. Such plan shall include:   The designation of infectious waste generated by the facility;    The handling of infectious waste which includes segregation, identification, packaging, storage, transportation, treatment techniques for each waste type, if applicable, and disposal;    Contingency planning for spills or loss of containment;    Staff training and the designation of a person responsible for implementation of the management plan;    If on-site treatment is not available, the management plan shall provide for appropriate off-site treatment or disposal.       The management plan, including the documentation provided in section 25-15-404 (2), shall be available for inspection to the hauler of any waste, to the disposal facility, and to the licensing or regulatory agency, if applicable, of the generator.

  Any infectious waste which has been appropriately treated at the site of generation by the generator so as to render it noninfectious shall not thereafter be deemed infectious for purposes of handling or disposal.    Appropriate treatment shall include any method of treatment which renders the infectious waste noninfectious. Use of a treatment method recommended by the United States environmental protection agency, as published in the “EPA Guide for Infectious Waste Management”, May 1986, shall be conclusively presumed to be an appropriate treatment method. Any method of treatment shall include:   Documentation by the generator that the method of treatment utilized for his operation is effective in rendering infectious waste noninfectious in such operation;    Written standard operating procedures for the use of or implementation of the treatment method;    Regular monitoring of the standard operating procedures and the effectiveness of such disinfective method.       Upon request of the chairman of either the senate or house of representatives committees on health, environment, welfare, and institutions, or any successor committees, the department of public health and environment shall make a report to the senate and house of representatives committees on health, environment, welfare, and institutions, or any successor committees, on the current status, in view of scientific knowledge and technology, of the recommendations contained in the “EPA Guide for Infectious Waste Management”, May 1986, and may make any additional recommendations it deems necessary.

     Any generator who knowingly removes, causes to be removed, or allows to be removed from the site of generation any infectious waste which he knew was not appropriately treated and not identified as untreated when such infectious waste was so removed from the site of generation shall be subject to the civil penalties set forth in paragraph (b) of this subsection (1).    Upon conviction of a first offense, a generator shall be subject to a civil penalty of not more than three thousand dollars per day for each day of violation, not to exceed fifteen thousand dollars. Upon conviction of a second or subsequent offense which occurs within five years of a previous conviction, a generator shall be subject to a civil penalty of three thousand dollars per day for each day of violation, not to exceed twenty-five thousand dollars.         Any person who knowingly hauls untreated infectious waste and recklessly spills or loses such waste or knowingly disposes of such waste at an unlawful site or disposal or treatment facility shall be subject to the civil penalties set forth in paragraph (b) of this subsection (2).    Upon conviction of a first offense, a person shall be subject to a civil penalty of not more than three thousand dollars per day for each day of violation, not to exceed fifteen thousand dollars. Upon conviction of a second or subsequent offense which occurs within five years of a previous conviction, a person shall be subject to a civil penalty of three thousand dollars per day, not to exceed twenty-five thousand dollars.
