Hazardous Secondary Material is a used or "spent" product, by-product or sludge that, when discarded, would be identified as a hazardous waste under Code of Federal Regulations 40 C.F.R. Part 261, but is instead managed as hazardous secondary material under 40 C.F.R. §§ 260.30 or 261.4(a)(23), (24), (25) or (27).
In order to be able to handle the material as hazardous secondary material instead of a hazardous waste, the hazardous waste generator must first notify the department of their intention to do so.
Length of Permit
Once you opt in to handle the material as hazardous secondary material, you may continue to do so until you opt out.
