Hazardous waste.
"Hazardous waste" means a waste,
or combination of
wastes, which because of its quantity, concentration, or physical, chemical,
or infectious characteristics may cause or significantly contribute to an
increase in mortality or an increase in serious, irreversible, or
incapacitating reversible, illness; or pose a substantial present or
potential hazard to human health or the environment when improperly
treated, stored, transported, or disposed of, or otherwise managed, and
which has been identified, by characteristics or listing, as hazardous
pursuant to Section 3001 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act
of 1976, P.L. 94-580, or pursuant to Board regulations.
Potentially infectious medical waste is not a hazardous waste, except for
those potentially infectious medical wastes identified by characteristics
or listing as hazardous under Section 3001 of the Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act of 1976, P.L. 94-580, or pursuant to Board regulations.
