Hazardous Waste Management

 

Hazardous Waste is subject to storage time limits, disposal requirements, and labeling and management requirements on containers. Most hazardous waste may be accumulated for only 90 days but there are exceptions for small quantity generators. Hazardous wastes are reported on the chemical inventory forms as part of the Hazardous Materials Business Plan.

 

In conjunction with the Hazardous Materials Business Plan Program, Environmental Management staff:

  • inspect businesses for compliance with the Hazardous Waste Control Act
  • Respond to complaints of illegal disposal of hazardous waste
  • Issue permits and inspects businesses that treat hazardous waste pursuant to permit by rule, conditional authorization, or conditional exemption laws and regulations.

Additional information on hazardous waste disposal and management is available from Department of Toxic Substances Control at www.dtsc.ca.gov.
