North Dakota Administrative Code › Title 33.1 - Department of Environmental Quality › Article 33.1-24 - Hazardous Waste Management › Chapter 33.1-24-03 - Standards for Generators › Section 33.1-24-03-74 - Laboratory clean-outs

Current through Supplement No. 393, July, 2024
1. One time per
				twelve-month period for each laboratory, an eligible academic entity may choose
				to conduct a laboratory clean-out that is subject to all the applicable
				requirements of sections
				33.1-24-03-60
				through
				33.1-24-03-77,
				except that:
a. If the volume of unwanted
				material in the laboratory exceeds fifty-five gallons (or one quart of liquid
				reactive acutely hazardous unwanted material or one kilogram of solid reactive
				acutely hazardous unwanted material), the eligible academic entity is not
				required to remove all unwanted materials from the laboratory within ten
				calendar days of exceeding fifty-five gallons (or one quart of liquid reactive
				acutely hazardous unwanted material or one kilogram of solid reactive acutely
				hazardous unwanted material), as required by section
				33.1-24-03-69.
				Instead, the eligible academic entity must remove all unwanted materials from
				the laboratory within thirty calendar days from the start of the laboratory
				clean-out;
b. For the purposes of
				onsite accumulation, an eligible academic entity is not required to count a
				hazardous waste that is an unused commercial chemical product (listed in
				sections
				33.1-24-02-15
				through
				33.1-24-02-19,
				or exhibiting one or more characteristics in sections
				33.1-24-02-10
				through
				33.1-24-02-14)
				generated solely during the laboratory clean-out toward its hazardous waste
				generator status, pursuant to subsection 2 of section
				33.1-24-03-03.
				An unwanted material that is generated prior to the beginning of the laboratory
				clean-out and is still in the laboratory at the time the laboratory clean-out
				commences must be counted toward hazardous waste generator status, pursuant to
				subsection 2 of section
				33.1-24-03-03,
				if it is determined to be hazardous waste;
c. For the purposes of offsite management, an
				eligible academic entity must count all its hazardous waste, regardless of
				whether the hazardous waste was counted toward generator status under
				subdivision b, and if the eligible academic entity generates more than one
				kilogram per month of acute hazardous waste, or one hundred kilograms per month
				of hazardous waste (for example, the very small quantity generator limits of
				section
				33.1-24-03-26
				), the hazardous waste is subject to all applicable hazardous waste regulations
				when the hazardous waste is transported offsite; and
d. 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 begins and ends, and the volume of hazardous waste generated during
				the laboratory clean-out. The eligible academic entity must maintain the
				records for a period of three years from the date the clean-out ends;
				and
