Glen,

Just a reminder that not all Counties just accept this rule as it is written. Some have additional procedures for generators that wish to utilize their facility as final disposal. Lee County is one of them. There should be something in the DEP guidance document that states the generator needs to contact the facility representative for permission to utilize the facility has final disposal.

Thanks,

All,
As a reminder when you conduct your inspections, solvent (only) contaminated rags may be excluded from regulations as a hazardous waste if managed in a certain way. Just remember that previous guidance stating rags are exempt from regulation when sent to a commercial laundry is no longer valid. Current requirements and management standards can be found on the FDEP website at:
