GUIDANCE MANUAL: MANAGEMENT OF HAZARDOUS AND ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE MATERIALS FOR PENNDOT BUREAU OF MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS. FINAL REPORT

The proper management of hazardous and environmentally sensitive materials in Pennsylvania is governed by a large, complex, and ever changing set of both Federal and State requirements. This complicated set of regulations and their constantly evolving nature pose a continuing and growing problem for government agencies like the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) which must take steps to ensure that its employees maintain an accurate understanding of all regulatory requirements applying to the materials it uses. This manual has been prepared to provide PennDOT employees with a ready source of practical information covering regulatory requirements and procedures for proper management of hazardous and environmentally sensitive materials used in county maintenance and yard operations. Information is provided on: the advantages of waste reduction and how to get started on a waste reduction program; requirements regarding the purchase, storage, use and transportation of hazardous materials; regulatory requirements for hazardous waste management; definition of a residual waste, and how residual wastes should be handled; typical sources of wastewater and regulation governing it's discharge; Preparedness, Prevention & Contingency (PPC) Planning; specific guidance for management of particular materials at PennDOT operations; and sources for more information.
