An eligible academic entity shall develop and retain a
written Laboratory Management Plan, or revise an existing written plan. The
Laboratory Management Plan is a site-specific document that describes how the
eligible academic entity will manage unwanted materials in compliance with
Sections
R315-262-200
through 216. An eligible academic entity may write one Laboratory Management
Plan for all the laboratories owned by the eligible academic entity that have
opted into Sections
R315-262-200
through 216, even if the laboratories are located at sites with different EPA
Identification Numbers. The Laboratory Management Plan shall contain two parts
with a total of nine elements identified in Subsections R315-262-214(a) and
(b). In Part I of its Laboratory Management Plan, an eligible academic entity
shall describe its procedures for each of the elements listed in Subsection
R315-262-214(a). An eligible academic entity shall implement and comply with
the specific provisions that it develops to address the elements in Part I of
the Laboratory Management Plan. In Part II of its Laboratory Management Plan,
an eligible academic entity shall describe its best management practices for
each of the elements listed in Subsection R315-262-214(b). The specific actions
taken by an eligible academic entity to implement each element in Part II of
its Laboratory Management Plan may vary from the procedures described in the
eligible academic entity's Laboratory Management Plan, without constituting a
violation of Sections
R315-262-200
through 216. An eligible academic entity may include additional elements and
best management practices in Part II of its Laboratory Management Plan if it
chooses.
(a) The eligible academic
entity shall implement and comply with the specific provisions of Part I of its
Laboratory Management Plan. In Part I of its Laboratory Management Plan, an
eligible academic entity shall:
(1) Describe
procedures for container labeling in accordance with Subsection
R315-262-206(a),
as follows:
(i) Identifying whether the
eligible academic entity will use the term "unwanted material" on the
containers in the laboratory. If not, identify an equally effective term that
will be used in lieu of "unwanted material" and consistently by the eligible
academic entity. The equally effective term, if used, has the same meaning and
is subject to the same requirements as "unwanted material."
(ii) Identifying the manner in which
information that is "associated with the container" will be imparted.
(2) Identify whether the eligible
academic entity will comply with Subsection
R315-262-208(a)(1)
or (a)(2) for regularly scheduled removals of
unwanted material from the laboratory.
(b) In Part II of its Laboratory Management
Plan, an eligible academic entity shall:
(1)
Describe its intended best practices for container labeling and management, see
the required standards at Section
R315-262-206.
(2) Describe its intended best practices for
providing training for laboratory workers and students commensurate with their
duties, see the required standards at Subsection
R315-262-207(a).
(3) Describe its intended best practices for
providing training to ensure safe on-site transfers of unwanted material and
hazardous waste by trained professionals, see the required standards at
Subsection
R315-262-207(d)(1).
(4) Describe its intended best practices for
removing unwanted material from the laboratory, including:
(i) For regularly scheduled removals-Develop
a regular schedule for identifying and removing unwanted materials from its
laboratories, see the required standards at Subsections
R315-262-208(a)(1)
and (a)(2).
(ii) For removals when maximum volumes are
exceeded:
(A) Describe its intended best
practices for removing unwanted materials from the laboratory within 10
calendar days when unwanted materials have exceeded their maximum volumes, see
the required standards at Subsection
R315-262-208(d).
(B) Describe its intended best practices for
communicating that unwanted materials have exceeded their maximum
volumes.
(5)
Describe its intended best practices for making hazardous waste determinations,
including specifying the duties of the individuals involved in the process, see
the required standards at Subsections
R315-262-11(a)
through (d) and Sections
R315-262-209
through
R315-262-212.
(6) Describe its intended best practices for
laboratory clean-outs, if the eligible academic entity plans to use the
incentives for laboratory clean-outs provided in Section
R315-262-213,
including:
(ii) Procedures for documenting laboratory
clean-outs, see the required standards at Subsection
R315-262-213(a)(4).
(7) Describe its intended best
practices for emergency prevention, including:
(i) Procedures for emergency prevention,
notification, and response, appropriate to the hazards in the laboratory;
and
(ii) A list of chemicals that
the eligible academic entity has, or is likely to have, that become more
dangerous when they exceed their expiration date and/or as they degrade;
and
(iii) Procedures to safely
dispose of chemicals that become more dangerous when they exceed their
expiration date and/or as they degrade; and
(iv) Procedures for the timely
characterization of unknown chemicals.
(c) An eligible academic entity shall make
its Laboratory Management Plan available to laboratory workers, students, or
any others at the eligible academic entity who request it.
(d) An eligible academic entity shall review
and revise its Laboratory Management Plan, as needed.
