It aims to clarify and simplify the requirements for hazardous waste generators, ensuring the safe and proper management of hazardous waste while reducing compliance burdens.
Key Changes and Benefits
Under the Hazardous Waste Generator Improvements Rule, several key changes have been implemented to provide episodic exceedance relief for generators facing temporary or unforeseen hazardous waste generation events:
- Easier Compliance Monitoring: The rule introduces stricter recordkeeping and reporting requirements, ensuring generators have accurate and up-to-date information about their waste management activities.
- Episodic Event Notifications: Generators can now notify the EPA or authorized state agencies about potential episodic hazardous waste generation events, providing them with the flexibility to address temporary spikes in waste generation without being subject to more stringent regulations.
- Relief from Hazardous Waste Determination: The rule simplifies waste determination requirements for generators, reducing the administrative burden associated with characterizing hazardous waste.
