Ill. Admin. Code tit. 35, § 726.603 - Standards for Potentially Creditable Hazardous Waste Pharmaceuticals
a) Hazardous Waste
Determination for Potentially Creditable Pharmaceuticals. A healthcare facility
that generates a solid waste that is a potentially creditable pharmaceutical
must determine whether the potentially creditable pharmaceutical is a
potentially creditable hazardous waste pharmaceutical (i.e., it is a listed
hazardous waste in Subpart D of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 721 or exhibits a
characteristic of hazardous waste identified in Subpart C of 35 Ill. Adm. Code
721). A healthcare facility may choose to manage its potentially creditable
non-hazardous waste pharmaceuticals as potentially creditable hazardous waste
pharmaceuticals under this Subpart P.
b) Accepting Potentially Creditable Hazardous
Waste Pharmaceuticals from an Off-Site Healthcare Facility That Is a VSQG. A
healthcare facility may accept potentially creditable hazardous waste
pharmaceuticals from an off-site healthcare facility that is a VSQG under 35
Ill. Adm. Code
722.114
without a permit or interim status, provided the receiving healthcare facility
fulfills the following conditions:
1) The
receiving healthcare facility is under the control of the same person (as
defined in 35 Ill. Adm. Code
720.110) as the
VSQG healthcare facility sending the potentially creditable hazardous waste
pharmaceuticals off site, or the sending healthcare facility has a contractual
or other documented business relationship in which the receiving healthcare
facility supplies pharmaceuticals to the VSQG healthcare facility;
2) The receiving healthcare facility is
operating under this Subpart P for the management of its potentially creditable
hazardous waste pharmaceuticals;
3)
The receiving healthcare facility manages the potentially creditable hazardous
waste pharmaceuticals that it receives from off site in compliance with this
Subpart P; and
4) The receiving
healthcare facility keeps records of the potentially creditable hazardous waste
pharmaceuticals shipments it receives from off site for three years from the
date that the shipment is received.
c) Prohibition. A healthcare facility is
prohibited from sending hazardous wastes other than potentially creditable
hazardous waste pharmaceuticals to a reverse distributor.
d) Annual Reporting by Healthcare Facilities.
A healthcare facility is not subject to annual reporting requirements under 35
Ill. Adm. Code
722.141
with respect to potentially creditable hazardous waste pharmaceuticals managed
under this Subpart P.
e)
Recordkeeping by Healthcare Facilities
1) A
healthcare facility initiating a shipment of potentially creditable hazardous
waste pharmaceuticals to a reverse distributor must keep the following records
(paper or electronic) for each shipment for three years after the date of
shipment:
A) The confirmation of delivery;
and
2) The
periods of retention referred to in this Section are extended automatically
during the course of any unresolved enforcement action regarding the regulated
activity, or as requested in writing by the Agency.
3) All records must be readily available upon
request by a USEPA or Agency inspector.
f) Response to Spills of Potentially
Creditable Hazardous Waste Pharmaceuticals at Healthcare Facilities. A
healthcare facility must immediately contain all spills of potentially
creditable hazardous waste pharmaceuticals and manage the spill clean-up
materials as non-creditable hazardous waste pharmaceuticals in accordance with
this Subpart P.
