Sections 403.7225 and 403.7234, F.S., established the Small Quantity Generator Assessment, Notification, and Verification Program (SQG Program). A small quantity generator (SQG) is defined in the federal regulations (40 CFR Part 260.10) as a generator that produces less than 1,000 kilograms (or approximately 2,200 pounds or about 275 gallons) of hazardous waste in any calendar month. The goals of the SQG Program are for local governments to inform SQGs of their legal responsibilities in properly managing their hazardous wastes, to protect public health and the environment, and to conduct site visits of SQGs within the county jurisdiction to identify the type of waste generated and waste management practices as required in 403.7225, F.S. |
