Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) Once in
				any 12-month period for each laboratory, an eligible academic entity may opt to
				conduct a laboratory clean-out that is subject to all the applicable
				requirements of this Subpart K, except that the following limitations apply:
1) If the volume of unwanted material in the
				laboratory exceeds 55 gallons (208 [SCRIPT SMALL]) (or one quart (0.946 [SCRIPT
				SMALL]) of liquid reactive acutely hazardous unwanted material or 1 kg (0.45
				lb) of solid reactive acutely hazardous unwanted material), the eligible
				academic entity is not required to remove all unwanted materials from the
				laboratory within 10 calendar days after exceeding 55 gallons (208 [SCRIPT
				SMALL]) (or one quart (0.946 [SCRIPT SMALL]) of liquid reactive acutely
				hazardous unwanted material or 1 kg (0.45 lb) of solid reactive acutely
				hazardous unwanted material), as required by Section
				722.308.
				Instead, the eligible academic entity must remove all unwanted materials from
				the laboratory within 30 calendar days after the start of the laboratory
				clean-out;
2) For the purposes of
				on-site accumulation, an eligible academic entity is not required to count
				toward its hazardous waste generator category, pursuant to 35 Ill. Adm. Code
				722.113, a
				hazardous waste that is an unused commercial chemical product (one that is
				listed in Subpart D of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 721 or which exhibits one or more of
				the characteristics set forth in Subpart C of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 721) that is
				solely generated during the laboratory clean-out. An unwanted material that is
				generated prior to the beginning of the laboratory clean-out and which is still
				in the laboratory at the time the laboratory clean-out commences must be
				counted toward hazardous waste generator category, pursuant to 35 Ill. Adm.
				Code 722.113, if it is determined to be hazardous waste;
3) For the purposes of off-site management,
				an eligible academic entity must count all of its hazardous waste, regardless
				of whether the hazardous waste was counted toward generator category under
				subsection (a)(2), and if the eligible academic entity generates more than one
				kg per month of acute hazardous waste or more than 100 kg per month of
				non-acute hazardous waste (i.e., the VSQG limits, as defined in 35 Ill. Adm.
				Code
				720.110 ), the
				hazardous waste is subject to all applicable hazardous waste regulations when
				it is transported off site; and
4)
				An eligible academic entity must document the activities of the laboratory
				clean-out. The documentation must, at a minimum, identify the laboratory being
				cleaned out, the date the laboratory clean-out began and ended, and the volume
				of hazardous waste generated during the laboratory clean-out. The eligible
				academic entity must maintain these records for a period of three years from
				the date on which the clean-out ended.
