South Carolina Code of Regulations › Chapter 61 - DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL › Subchapter 61-79 - Hazardous Waste Management Regulations › Part 61-79.273 - UNIVERSAL WASTE RULE › Subpart D - STANDARDS FOR UNIVERSAL WASTE TRANSPORTERS › Section 61-79.273.D.52 - Waste management

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 6, June 28, 2024
(a) A
				  universal waste transporter must comply with all applicable U.S. Department of
				  Transportation regulations in 49 CFR part 171 through 180 for transport of any
				  universal waste that meets the definition of hazardous material in
				  49 CFR
				  171.8. For purposes of the Department of
				  Transportation regulations, a material is considered a hazardous waste if it is
				  subject to the Hazardous Waste Manifest Requirements of the U.S. Environmental
				  Protection Agency/South Carolina Hazardous Waste Management Regulations
				  specified in 40 CFR 262 /R.61-79.262. Because universal waste does not require
				  a hazardous waste manifest, it is not considered hazardous waste under the
				  Department of Transportation regulations.
(b) Some universal waste materials are
				  regulated by the Department of Transportation as hazardous materials because
				  they meet the criteria for one or more hazard classes specified in
				  49
				  CFR 173.2. As universal waste shipments do
				  not require a manifest under 262, they may not be described by the DOT proper
				  shipping name "hazardous waste, (l) or (s), n.o.s.", nor may the hazardous
				  material's proper shipping name be modified by adding the word
				  "waste".

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 6, June 28, 2024
I am the parent or legal guardian of __________, a child born
				__________ in South Carolina. I request that my child not be tested by blood
				spot screening in order to detect silent, deadly metabolic diseases and
				hemoglobinopathies. I certify that this refusal is based on religious grounds.
				Religious grounds are the only permitted reason for refusal under South
				Carolina law, Section
				44-37-30(C).
I understand that my child may suffer brain damage, other
				bodily harm or death if a disease that can be detected by blood spot screening
				is not diagnosed. I understand that such harm can be lessened or prevented by
				early diagnosis and treatment. I understand that these diseases are usually
				silent, and may be present in a child that looks healthy. I understand that the
				blood spot screening test is the best way to detect these disorders early, and
				that testing is routinely done for every child. I understand that this testing
				is quick, easy and that the results are confidential. I understand that this
				testing has been the standard of care for all children born in South Carolina
				and the rest of the United States for many years.
I have been fully informed of, and fully understand, the
				possible devastating consequences to my child's health if blood spot screening
				is not done. I have been fully informed of, and fully understand the benefits
				of testing and blood specimen storage. I have been given the brochure produced
				by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control that
				describes the conditions for which testing is currently available and explains
				the benefits of testing and blood specimen storage. I also understand that my
				child would have been tested for these conditions except for my objection. I
				have been given the opportunity to ask questions concerning this testing and
				these conditions, and all of my questions have been fully answered to my
				satisfaction.
I release and hold harmless the South Carolina Department of
				Health and Environmental Control, the hospital or other facility at which the
				birth occurred, the person(s) responsible for the collection of the blood
				spots, and any other person or entity relying on this objection, for any
				injury, illness and/or consequences, including the death of my child, which may
				result to my child as the result of my refusal of blood spot screening.

Some babies are born with diseases of the blood or body
				function. A baby with one of these diseases looks healthy. However, these
				diseases can cause intellectual disability, abnormal growth, infections, or
				death. Some of these diseases can be found by early testing. This testing,
				called newborn screening, is important so that your baby is not harmed by one
				of these diseases. During newborn screening, a small sample of your baby's
				blood is taken from the heel. The blood is tested. The blood shows if your baby
				has any of the "newborn screening" diseases. If your baby has one of these
				diseases, your doctor can treat your baby.
DHEC can store your baby's blood sample for special study.
				Studies help DHEC find out new information about diseases. If a study finds
				something in your child's blood sample that can help your child, DHEC can
				confidentially notify you (or your child if he/she is 18 years or
				older).

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 6, June 28, 2024
It is the responsibility of the laboratory to initiate the
				application for certification under this Regulation. A pre-evaluation form must
				be filed with the Department, if requested by the State Environmental
				Laboratory Certification Officer. Upon review of the information provided, an
				on-site evaluation will be scheduled.
Each laboratory requesting certification will be evaluated by
				the State Environmental Laboratory Certification Officer who may be assisted by
				members of the Department's environmental laboratory staff upon his request. A
				written report will be filed with the State Environmental Laboratory
				Certification Officer within thirty (30) days following the evaluation. A copy
				of this report will be mailed to the Laboratory Director and the governing
				body.
(1) Issuance of Certification
Within seven (7) days of the receipt of the written report of
				the evaluation, the State Environmental Laboratory Certification Officer will
				notify the laboratory of his determination. If the adequacy of the laboratory
				capability and its proficiency have been established and in the absence of
				substantial deficiencies, certification will be issued to the laboratory for
				the evaluated parameters. The certificate will remain the property of the
				Department.
If there is an equipment deficiency, certification may be
				granted upon the receipt of a copy of a purchase order; or a repeat visit may
				be made to substantiate proper use of the item.
(2) Certification Continuance Between
			 Evaluations
(a) In order to maintain
			 certification for each parameter, the laboratory will analyze a minimum of one
			 performance audit sample annually where technically feasible.
(b) In order to maintain certification, the
			 laboratory will participate in split sampling with the Department Laboratory
			 when required by the State Environmental Laboratory Certification
			 Officer.
