NR 662.213(1)(1) One time per 12-month period for each laboratory, an eligible academic entity may opt to conduct a laboratory clean-out that is subject to all the applicable requirements of this subchapter, except that:

NR 662.213(1)(a)(a) If the volume of unwanted material in the laboratory exceeds 55 gallons, or 1 quart of liquid reactive acutely hazardous unwanted material, or 1 kg of solid reactive acutely hazardous unwanted material, the eligible academic entity is not required to remove all unwanted materials from the laboratory within 10 calendar days of exceeding 55 gallons, or 1 quart of liquid reactive acutely hazardous unwanted material, or 1 kg or solid reactive acutely hazardous unwanted material, as required under s. NR 662.208. Instead, the eligible academic entity shall remove all unwanted materials from the laboratory within 30 calendar days from the start of the laboratory clean-out.

NR 662.213(1)(b)(b) For the purposes of on-site accumulation, an eligible academic entity is not required to count a hazardous waste that is an unused commercial chemical product that is listed in subch. D of ch. NR 661 or a hazardous waste exhibiting one or more characteristics listed in subch. C of ch. NR 661 that is generated solely during the laboratory clean-out toward its hazardous waste generator category, according to s. NR 662.013. An unwanted material that is generated prior to the beginning of the laboratory clean-out and is still in the laboratory at the time the laboratory clean-out commences shall be counted toward the hazardous waste generator category, according to s. NR 662.013, if it is determined to be hazardous waste.

NR 662.213(1)(c)(c) For the purposes of off-site management, an eligible academic entity shall count all its hazardous waste, regardless of whether the hazardous waste was counted toward generator category under par. (b), and if it generates more than 1 kg/month of acute hazardous waste or more than 100 kg/month of non-acute hazardous waste, the hazardous waste is subject to all applicable hazardous waste regulations when it is transported off-site.

NR 662.213(1)(d)(d) An eligible academic entity shall document the activities of the laboratory clean-out. The documentation shall, at a minimum, identify the laboratory being cleaned out, the date the laboratory clean-out begins and ends, and the volume of hazardous waste generated during the laboratory clean-out. The eligible academic entity shall maintain the records for a period of 3 years from the date the clean-out ends.

NR 662.213(2)(2) For all other laboratory clean-outs conducted during the same 12-month period, an eligible academic entity is subject to all the applicable requirements of this subchapter, including all of the following:

NR 662.213(2)(a)(a) The requirement to remove all unwanted materials from the laboratory within 10 calendar days of exceeding 55 gallons, or 1 quart of reactive acutely hazardous unwanted material, as required under s. NR 662.208.

NR 662.213(2)(b)(b) The requirement to count all hazardous waste, including unused hazardous waste, generated during the laboratory clean-out toward its hazardous waste generator category, according to s. NR 662.013.

NR 662.214NR 662.214 Laboratory management plan. An eligible academic entity shall develop and retain a written laboratory management plan or revise an existing written plan. The laboratory management plan is a site-specific document that describes how the eligible academic entity will manage unwanted materials in compliance with this subchapter. An eligible academic entity may write one laboratory management plan for all the laboratories owned by the eligible academic entity that have opted into this subchapter, even if the laboratories are located at sites with different EPA identification numbers. All of the following shall apply to the laboratory management plan:

NR 662.214(1)(1) The eligible academic entity shall implement and comply with the specific provisions of part I of its laboratory management plan. In part I of its laboratory management plan, an eligible academic entity shall do all of the following:

NR 662.214(1)(a)(a) Describe procedures for container labeling in accordance with s. NR 662.206 (1), including:

NR 662.214(1)(a)1.1. Identifying whether the eligible academic entity will use the term “unwanted material” on the containers in the laboratory. If not, identify an equally effective term that will be used in lieu of “unwanted material” and consistently by the eligible academic entity. The equally effective term, if used, has the same meaning and is subject to the same requirements as “unwanted material.”

NR 662.214(1)(b)(b) Identify whether the eligible academic entity will comply with s. NR 662.208 (1) (a) or (b) for regularly scheduled removals of unwanted material from the laboratory.

NR 662.214(2)(2) The specific actions taken by an eligible academic entity to implement each element in part II of its laboratory management plan may vary from the procedures described in the eligible academic entity’s laboratory management plan without constituting a violation of this subchapter. An eligible academic entity may include additional elements and best management practices in part II of its laboratory management plan if it chooses. In part II of its laboratory management plan, an eligible academic entity shall do all of the following:

NR 662.214(2)(a)(a) Describe its intended best practices for container labeling and management, including how the eligible academic entity will manage containers used for in-line collection of unwanted materials, such as with high performance liquid chromatographs and other laboratory equipment. See the required standards specified in s. NR 662.206.

NR 662.214(2)(b)(b) Describe its intended best practices for providing training for laboratory workers and students commensurate with their duties.

NR 662.214(2)(c)(c) Describe its intended best practices for providing training to ensure safe on-site transfers of unwanted material and hazardous waste by trained professionals. See the required standards specified in s. NR 662.207 (4) (a).

NR 662.214(2)(d)(d) Describe its intended best practices for removing unwanted material from the laboratory, including all of the following:

NR 662.214(2)(d)1.1. For regularly scheduled removals, develop a regular schedule for identifying and removing unwanted materials from its laboratories.
