MDEQ Hazardous Waste Rule Changes

5/1/2017

0 Comments

 
In case you missed it, the MDEQ has recently adopted a number of federal changes to the Part 111 Hazardous Waste rules, including Solvent wipes.  On April 5, 2017, changes to Michigan’s hazardous waste rules became effective.  ​
Picture
The DEQ indicates that the rule changes were needed to maintain Michigan’s federal authorization to administer the state's hazardous waste program, improve the overall clarity and quality of the rules and reduce the regulatory burdens on the regulated community by providing flexible requirements.  The rule changes did not add new substantial regulatory requirements for managing hazardous waste, but instead provided new conditional exclusions and flexibilities for managing hazardous waste. 
 
Some rule changes were made to the following topics: 
 
Federal Revisions
  • Solvent‑contaminated wipes management
  • Definition of solid waste
  • Carbon dioxide streams in geologic sequestration activities 
  • Establishing a framework for electronic manifesting (E-Manifest)
  • Export of cathode ray tubes
  • Revication of the comparable fuels and gasification rules
  • Disposal of coal combustion residuals from electric utilities
Michigan Revisions:
  • Hazardous waste identification and listing
  • Updates to information associated with items adopted by reference in the rules
  • Typographical corrections
 
The DEQ recently prepared a compliance guide for the Solvent contaminated wipes.  The guide and information about all the changes can be found here.
