Chemical Waste Accumulation/Disposal at NIST Gaithersburg Program

This suborder defines the requirements for accumulation and disposal of chemical waste at the NIST Gaithersburg site. NIST generates a large quantity and variety of chemical wastes from laboratory and support activities. All chemical wastes must be managed appropriately from the initial generation to the final disposal. The EPA has issued NIST a hazardous waste generator identification number that authorizes NIST to generate and dispose of hazardous waste in compliance with regulations.
