SUMMARY: The rule identifies biomedical waste subject to regulation; requires the registration of biomedical waste generators; and establishes packaging, labeling, handling, storage, transportation and treatment requirements. The rule does not establish disposal standards for biomedical waste because this rule defines treated biomedical waste as a special waste. The disposal of untreated biomedical waste is prohibited in this rule. The rule requires all transporters and owners or operators of transfer facilities and treatment facilities to obtain a license. The rule specifies siting, design, operating and reporting requirements and establishes a biomedical waste tracking or manifest system.
