Regulatory Submittal Part IV- Waste Sampling & Management Plan Fiterman Hall 30 West Broadway, New York, New York Airtek Project 05-0867 — January 10.2006

2.4 Universal Waste

40 CFR Part 273 and 6 NYCRR Section 374.3 establishes requirements for managing wastes referred to as, "Universal Wastes. These are materials that would be classified as hazardous wastes, but due to their universal use in commercial, industrial, and residential properties, have been so categorized to reduce the regulatory burden on generators of these wastes.

Universal wastes include the following waste types:

(1) Batteries as described in 40 CFR section 273.2 and 6 NYCRR Section 374-3.1(b) (2) Pesticides as described in 40 CFR section 273.3 and 6 NYCRR Section 374-3.1(c) (3) Thermostats as described in 40 CFR section 273.4 and 6 NYCRR Section 374-3.1(d) (4) Lamps as described in 40 CFR section 273.5 and 6 NYCRR Section 374-3.1(e)

2.5 PCB Waste

The PCB waste category may include dielectric fluid from electrical equipment such as transformers and capacitors as well as fluids associated with hydraulic machinery, vacuum pumps, compressors and heat exchangers. The category may include fluorescent lighting ballasts and caulking products. The NYS Education Department now requires testing of exterior caulking materials for PCBs.

2.6 Miscellaneous Contents

Due to the classroom educational use of the building and the lack of wet chemistry labs, regulated and/or hazardous waste is anticipated to be very limited in nature and scope. The 30 West Broadway Building was, however, under renovation when the Building was vacated after 9/11, and as such, a variety of construction material and chemical containers have been found and catalogued throughout certain areas of the Building. The WSMP addresses the potential for miscellaneous waste as listed in Attachment A - Building Contents Inventory & Chemical Log.

Refrigerant-Containing Equipment:

Non-hazardous construction and demolition materials may contain regulated refrigerant including, but not limited to, possible, -refrigerant in the air conditioning and refrigeration systems. The refrigerant will be. removed prior to disposal. Refrigerant-containing Equipment would be considered an appliance and is excluded from definition as C&D debris.
