Required for Waste Approval and Shipment
EMI requires that
each new shipment of hazardous waste that
is proposed for storage at the facility be accompanied by
a properly executed and approved "Waste
Profile Form (WPF)". If the waste will be
passing-though the EMI facility only, and the designated
disposal facility on the manifest is not EMI, the profile
to be utilized will be that of the disposal facility named
on the hazardous waste manifest. EMI requires that the
Generator or his/her authorized representative complete
and sign the WPF. The need for analytical testing of this
waste stream may be waived based on the generator’s
knowledge of the waste source and per authorization from
the destination disposal facility. EMI will issue a EMI
Authorization number for the waste stream prior to
scheduling and acceptance of the waste at the EMI
facility.
Proper
shipping papers must accompany all wastes received at EMI.
All hazardous wastes are shipped on a hazardous waste
manifest with a properly executed Facility
Land Ban Notification (FLBN) form. The facility land
ban form to be utilized should be that of the disposal
facility named on the hazardous waste manifest. EMI-approved
transporters must examine their shipping papers to
determine accurate drum counts, quantities, waste types,
approval numbers, etc. to detect any discrepancies that
could be corrected prior to arrival at EMI. Only shipments
accompanied by proper/complete shipping papers, WPF, FLB,
and EMI approval number are accepted at EMI.

Acceptance,
Treatment and Disposal of This
Waste Stream
EMI accepts
hazardous waste from various generators and sources.
The pre-approval process for hazardous waste includes review of the "Waste
Profile Form" and laboratory analysis, if
requested by EMI.
Containerized
hazardous handled under our Ten Day Transfer License is placed into the
ten day drum storage
area. There is a storage cell for toxic and ignitable hazardous waste, a second storage cell for corrosive (acidic) hazardous waste and a third cell for corrosive (alkaline) hazardous waste.
“Lab-Pack” containerized hazardous waste (DOT 49 CFR 173.12
(b) is also accepted in
our 10-day Transfer License. Lab-Packs are placed in the appropriate storage cell (e.g., toxic, corrosive, or ignitable) based upon compatibility with other wastes in the 10-day Transfer Area.
The 10-Day Transfer Log is checked daily to ensure that
containers are transferred to the intended receiving
facilities before expiration of the 10-day period.
If the
hazardous waste is received at EMI with EMI as the
destination facility, EMI takes "generator
status" of the waste and it is re-manifested to an
approved, properly licensed hazardous waste disposal
facility within ten days. All other pass-through waste is
shipped to the designated hazardous waste disposal
facility named on the manifest within ten days, utilizing
a properly licensed hazardous waste transporter. Ultimate disposal of these waste streams typically
consists of incineration and/or treatment, then landfill
disposal.

D001
(Ignitable Waste) A waste is an ignitable waste if a representative sample of the waste has any of the following properties:
(a) It is a liquid and has a flash point of less than 60°C, which is approximately 140°F. However, an aqueous solution of ethyl alcohol which contains less than 24% alcohol by volume will not be considered an ignitable waste.
(b) It is not a liquid and is capable under standard temperature and pressure of catching fire through friction, absorption of moisture or spontaneous chemical changes and, when ignited, burns so vigorously and persistently that it creates a hazard.
(c) It is a compressed gas and ignitable.
(d) It is an oxidizer (Oxidizers are not accepted at
the EMI facility)
(Oxidizer means any material that yields oxygen readily to stimulate the combustion of organic matter, e.g., chlorate, permanganate, peroxide, nitrocarbonitrate, or inorganic nitrate.)

D002
(Corrosive Waste) A waste is a corrosive hazardous
waste if a representative sample of the waste has
any of the following properties:
(a) It is aqueous and has a pH less than or equal to
2.
(b) It is aqueous and has a pH greater than or equal
to 12.5.
(c) It is a liquid and corrodes steel (Type SAE
1020) at a rate greater than 6.35 mm per year at a
test temperature of 55°C. (This is approximately
0.250 inches per year at a test temperature of
approximately 130°F.)
