Description: 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.
Description: Statewide coverage of hazardous waste and used oil facilities that might be considered as potential threats for release during a natural disaster such as hurricane. The coverage includes Treatment, Storage, and Disposal facilities (TSDs) that are permitted to manage hazardous waste; hazardous waste transfer facilities where hazardous waste may be stored or staged for up to 10 days; used oil transfer facilities where used oil may be stored or staged for up to 35 days; and large quantity generators (LQGs) of hazardous waste that generate more than 1000kg of hazardous waste in any one month and may store their hazardous waste for up to 90 days.
Description: Statewide coverage of currently registered hazardous waste transfer facilities. Hazardous waste transporters who store manifested hazardous waste in proper containers at a transfer facility for ten (10) days or less are exempt from regulation as a hazardous waste treatment, storage, or disposal facility. The transfer facility must comply with requirements of Rule 62-730.171, F.A.C., and federal regulations as adopted by reference in Rule 62-730.170, F.A.C.
