<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Greetings everyone,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">The Local Hazardous Waste Management in King County (LHWMP) has published an
<a href="http://www.lhwmp.org/home/publications/publications_detail.aspx?DocID=o5fpDUrc%2f%2bc%3d">
updated 2014 Laboratory Waste Management Guide</a> that incorporates the recent publication of the Washington Department of Ecology’s
<a href="https://fortress.wa.gov/ecy/publications/SummaryPages/96412.html">Revised Treatment By Generator Guidance</a>.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">The Lab Guide is an easy-to-use manual that has helped businesses and schools quickly understand how to safely handle and store hazardous chemicals and legally dispose of them. Dozens of laboratory safety
managers and regulators have contributed their expertise to making it practical and understandable.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">The <a href="http://www.lhwmp.org/home/publications/publications_detail.aspx?DocID=o5fpDUrc%2f%2bc%3d">
2014 Laboratory Waste Management Guide</a> incorporates Ecology’s new guidelines for treatment of waste by
<a href="https://fortress.wa.gov/ecy/publications/SummaryPages/1404004.html">Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generators</a>, and adds two new acceptable treatment methods;
<a href="https://fortress.wa.gov/ecy/publications/SummaryPages/1404003.html">Aldehyde Deactivation</a> and
<a href="https://fortress.wa.gov/ecy/publications/SummaryPages/1404002.html">Polymerization</a>.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">My thanks to Ecology staff, particularly Rob Rieck, Michelle Underwood and Ken Zarker, for their willingness to listen to the concerns of the LHWMP, the Northwest Chapter of NAHMMA and members of the regulated
community about the restrictions on CESQG treatment. Their conscientious and cooperative approach to adapting their guidance to help businesses like laboratories reduce their waste generation while still protecting human health and the environment is greatly
appreciated.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
