Texas Industrial Hazardous Waste Universal Waste Transporter CEI Checklist

This can present dangers and hazards that must be mitigated. Through this app, users can ensure that operators who transport their industrial hazardous waste or who use an independent transporter contracted to collect and transport this waste are complying with universal waste regulations. The EPA set forth universal waste regulations which aim to streamline the hazardous waste management standards for specific categories of hazardous waste that are commonly generated by a wide variety of establishments. These standards have been adopted by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality and ensure that waste including batteries, pesticides, mercury-containing equipment, and lamps are handled properly. The Texas Industrial Hazardous Waste Universal Waste Transporter CEI Checklist app features an easy to use checklist that outlines essential rules and requirements set forth by the universal waste regulations. The app is helpful for establishing and monitoring a hazardous waste management program. Within the app, users will find items divided into the following categories: General, Standards, Waste Management, Storage Time Limits, Responses to Releases, Off-Site Shipments, and Exports. In each section, there are questions regarding legal regulations and requirements that ensure that universal waste has been stored at a universal waste transfer facility for a proper period and that universal waste transporters comply with the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations for hazardous materials and more. Solid waste covered under the universal waste rule are materials that can be stored for a year and are not required to be shipped or transported with a manifest. The universal waste regulations do require that the materials be managed and transported in a way to prevent releases to the environment and tailors those requirements to each type of universal waste. This app is helpful for a waste management operator's universal waste program.
