Section 5.0 Universal Waste Inventory South Everett CADMAN Plant 16300 Glenwood Ave. I Everett, WA 98203 Universal Waste Rules The Universal Waste Rule(UWR)establishes alternative, streamlined waste management standards in place of most of the Dangerous Waste Regulations, Chapter 173-303 WAC, except for, WAC 173-303-050, 173-303-145 and 173-303- 960. The following lamp types may be characterized as universal waste: fluorescent tubes, high intensity discharge (HID) lamps(mercury vapor,metal halide, high pressure sodium)and compact fluorescent. The following Universal Waste was identified in the Batch Tower: • Approximately 200 Light Ballast • Approximately 400 four-foot fluorescent tubes • Approximately 2 Mercury Thermostats • Approximately 4 HID Lights The universal waste must be removed and properly disposed of or recycled prior to building demolition. Disposal of individual lamps is not regulated, However, disposal of large quantities of lamps is subject to dangerous waste regulations (WAC 173-303) and the waste stream must be subjected to TCLP (Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure)analysis to determine the amount of mercury that could leach out of the waste.The TCLP limit for mercury is 0.2 mg/L. PCBs belong to a broad family of organic chemicals known as chlorinated hydrocarbons. PCBs are produced by the combination of one or more chlorine atoms and a biphenyl molecule. PCBs range in consistency from heavy oily liquids to waxy solids. Prior to 1979, PCBs were widely used in electrical equipment such as transformers, capacitors,switches, and voltage regulators.
