Notice of Proposed Rule

Department:

DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

Chapter:

HAZARDOUS WASTE

Overview

RULE:

62-730	HAZARDOUS WASTE
62-730.186	Universal Pharmaceutical Waste (Repealed)

PURPOSE:

The proposed rule amendments are intended to allow flexibility in the management of hazardous waste pharmaceuticals by regulating such waste as universal waste in Florida, and to clarify standards applicable to handlers of hazardous waste pharmaceuticals. The new rule does not require generators to manage hazardous waste pharmaceuticals as universal waste, and does not require reverse distributors to become handlers of hazardous waste pharmaceuticals. The new rule does not impose any new regulatory requirements. It merely allows a less stringent management option for persons who generate hazardous waste pharmaceuticals and for reverse distributors who choose to accept hazardous waste pharmaceuticals.

SUMMARY:

This rule establishes requirements for handlers of hazardous waste pharmaceuticals. It includes definitions; prohibitions; notification; waste and container management; labeling; accumulation time limits; employee training; response to releases; off-site shipments; record-keeping; and conditions related to handlers who are reverse distributors.
