Hazardous waste controls

The hazardous waste identification regulations that define the characteristics of toxicity, ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity, and the tests for these characteristics, differ from state to state. In addition, concentration limits may be set out by a state for selected persistent and bioaccumulative toxic substances that commonly occur in hazardous substances. For example, the California Hazardous Waste Control Act requires the California State Department of Health Services (CDHS) to develop and adopt by regulation criteria and guidelines for the identification of hazardous wastes and extremely hazardous wastes.

The Utah Solid and Hazardous Waste Control Board issued a permit (UT 3213820894) to the Tooele Army Depot to operate a hazardous waste treatment and storage facility located approximately 3 miles south of Tooele, on State Highway 36, in Tooele County, Utah. 

If a project consists of multi-characteristics such as large structural systems, i.e., tall buildings, offshore structures, or complex projects such as a large construction operation or hazardous waste control facility, a single-domain system may not be used effectively. Therefore, a new multi-domain system (MDS) has been developed (8) as shown in Figure 8.

Chemical control in the Philippines is covered by the 1990 Toxic Substances and Hazardous Wastes Control Act (TSHWCA). The rules and regulations of this Act cover import, manufacture, processing, handling, storage, transport, sale, distribution, use and disposal of chemical substances and mixtures that present an unreasonable risk to human health or the environment. However, chemicals controlled by other Philippine legislation are not covered by TSHWCA. The Act is administered by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR).
