Online Reporting Last Review/Updated: December 15, 2003 Industrial and Hazardous Waste Minimizing and properly managing industrial and hazardous waste is essential to protect our environment and conserve our resources. To do this, Alberta Environment developed a comprehensive waste management framework that includes legislation, policies, programs, guidance documents, and waste tracking. The type and quantity of all hazardous waste moved within the province are accurately tracked through Alberta's Hazardous Waste Manifest System Mandated by the Activities Designation Regulation and meeting the requirements of the Waste Control Regulation . Approvals with strict controls have been issued to 54 facilities in Alberta to manage hazardous waste and hazardous recyclables. Alberta Facilities with an EPEA Approval to manage Hazardous Waste/Hazardous Recyclables Alberta Environment consults the public in the development of tools needed to achieve its waste management goals.

Online Reporting Last Review/Updated: September 9, 2003 What are Household Hazardous Wastes? Generally speaking, hazardous wastes consist of solid or liquid materials, or containers holding gasses, which have outlived their usefulness. These wastes may harm humans or the environment unless given special handling and treatment in the way they are discarded. They may be flammable, corrosive, explosive, or toxic. Because of these dangerous characteristics, they should not be disposed of in landfills or sewage systems. Products in the household that have potentially hazardous characteristics display at least one of the following warning symbols: Flammable - These are wastes that burn easily like painting wastes, degreasers, and other solvents. Corrosive - These wastes will eat away surfaces and skin. Familiar examples are waste acides, rust removers, alkaline cleaning fluids, and old battery acid.

Home About ELC Site Map Contact Us ... Food Hazardous Waste The term hazardous waste may evoke images of barrels marked with skulls and crossbones. Actually, many wastes classified as hazardous are products we use every day, such as paint, used-oil from cars, batteries, smoke detectors, shoe polish, and even laundry detergent. Many of the goods that modern society relies upon generate hazardous wastes during the production process. Hazardous wastes are any solids, liquids, or gaseous byproducts that pose a significant hazard to human health or the environment when mishandled. Households, industry, agriculture, hospitals, and government agencies produce hazardous waste. The EPA was given authority to regulate the management, disposal, and treatment of hazardous waste under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 and its 1984 Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments . In 1996, the EPA reported that 279 million tons of hazardous wastes were generated annually. Ninety-six percent of this was waste water by-products of industrial processes. The Pollution Prevention Act of 1990 set priorities for managing hazardous wastes. The goal is first to reduce the amount of hazardous waste created as much as possible by modifying industrial processes and selecting alternate non-hazardous materials. Second, hazardous waste materials should be recycled if it is feasible and environmentally safe to do so. Third, if waste cannot be recycled, it should be treated to neutralize adverse affects to human health or the environment. Finally, remaining hazardous waste should be safely disposed.

Hazardous Waste Hazardous Waste Instructions for 2003 Low-level Radioactive Waste Reporting Form Hazardous Waste may be produced as a by-product of certain manufacturing operations. In addition, many commercial chemical products are regulated as hazardous waste once they are discarded or intended to be discarded. The Hazardous Waste Program of the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) is responsible for the regulation of hazardous waste in Maryland. What is hazardous waste? To be regulated as a hazardous waste, a substance must either have the potential to: cause or contribute to an increase in mortality or serious illness, or, threaten human health or the environment if mismanaged. As a practical matter, a substance is regulated as a hazardous waste if it is specifically listed as such in State regulations, is mixed with or derived from one of those "listed" wastes, or exhibits certain characteristics defined in the regulations. The characteristics of hazardous waste include ignitability, corrosivity (strong acids or caustics), reactivity (explosives or items which can release toxic gases when mixed with water), and toxicity (substances which will release certain levels of toxics when subjected to a test simulating conditions in a landfill).

A waste is considered hazardous if it poses a risk to people or the environment if it is not properly managed, stored and disposed of. As a first step towards developing a national hazardous waste policy we published a public discussion paper, Managing Hazardous Waste in November 1998, written in consultation with representatives from industry, local government, tangata whenua, environmental groups, and experts in hazardous waste. The paper set out some guiding principles for the design of an effective system for environmentally safe management and disposal of hazardous waste in New Zealand. It also looked at options for a management framework based on defining, controlling and monitoring hazardous waste. We are working to incorporate the principles and tools outlined in the Managing Hazardous Waste document into a national hazardous waste management policy. This policy will be developed to meet the targets for hazardous waste in the

Guidance : Hazardous Waste : Interpretation of the definition and classification of hazardous waste Introduction This document provides new technical guidance for classifying hazardous waste. The guidance has been produced by the Environment Agency, the Scottish Environment Protection Agency and the Northern Ireland Environment and Heritage Service. The document is intended to be a reference document for all legislation where reference is made to hazardous waste and its management, and provide guidance in the assessment of waste to all involved in the production, management, and control of hazardous waste. Background European Council Directive 91/689/EEC (the Hazardous Waste Directive, or HWD) sets the framework within Member States of the European Community for provisions to control the movement of arisings of hazardous wastes. The aim of the HWD is to provide a precise and uniform European-wide definition of hazardous waste and to ensure the correct management and regulation of such waste. The HWD defines hazardous waste as wastes featuring on a list drawn up by the European Commission, because they possess one or more of the hazardous properties set out in the HWD.

Contact Hazardous Waste Incineration - A Deadly Deal Hazardous waste incinerators were the "answer" by the combustion industry (manufacturers, designers, and engineers for oil, coal, and nuclear power plants, and large-scale heating systems) to "solve" the hazardous waste crisis. With new laws making it more difficult to just dump hazardous waste, and with regulations about hazardous waste landfills making them very expensive, incineration was promoted as a economical alternative. Incineration of wastes is a concept that really involves what might be called "adult magical thinking" - that somehow, when you burn something, it "goes away". We know from physical laws, however, that matter does not "go away" - it merely changes state. Even if incineration worked perfectly, heavy metals and radioactive materials are not destroyed - they are vaporized and emitted by the smokestack or stay behind in the incinerator ash, making that ash itself toxic waste. The volume has been reduced (and in some cases this does not even happen), but the poisons remain. Real-world incinerators are far worse than ideal. The EPA, in court, has never been able to testify that any hazardous waste incinerator can operate at its required "Destruction and Removal Efficiency" - the percentage of toxic organic compounds that are reduced to non-toxic emissions. The supposed requirement for such incinerators is 99.9999% (in other words, 1 part per million of the waste is released into the environment), but in real practice the efficiency is between 99.9% and 99.99%. In other words, 100 to 1000 times as much toxic material reaches the environment as the EPA admits in public announcements.
