PCBs, which would make the equipment subject to the PCB regulations.
SW-846 Method 8082, Analysis of Polychlorinated Biphenyls by Gas
Chromatography is specified by regulation for determining the
concentration of PCBs in wastes.
Ballasts (all assumed to contain PCBs) shall be handled, packaged and
labeled as required for disposal as a PCB regulated waste. All hauler,
transportation and disposal facility requirements shall also conform to the
requirements for this category of waste.
Shipments of PCB waste must be in properly labeled and marked
containers, the waste must be shipped under a properly executed manifest
and Land Disposal Restriction (LDR) form, the transporter must have a
valid EPA Identification number and must have a valid New York State
Part 364 transporter permit as well as the latest version of U.S.
Department of Transportation's Emergency Response Guide (2004). The
vehicle in which PCB wastes are being shipped must be properly
placarded and marked to reflect that it is transporting PCBs and must also
be marked with the New York State waste transporter permit number on
its sides and rear.
Disposal facilities that accept PCB wastes must have an EPA
Identification number and have received TSCA authorization from the
EPA and any additional state permits for the disposal/management of
PCBs applicable to the state in which the facility is located. The disposal
facility must comply with all manifesting requirements specified in the
regulations and must prepare a certificate of destruction and send it to the
generator or the generator's agent.
6.3.2 Universal Waste
Only minor quantities of materials that could be categorized as Universal
Waste are anticipated to be encountered at this site. In the event that such

40 CFR Part 273 and 6 NYCRR Section 374.3 establish requirements for
managing universal wastes. Universal wastes are those wastes that would
reasonably be expected to be classified as hazardous wastes but, due to
their universal use in industrial and residential properties, regulations were
created that would ensure that they were managed in a manner that
prevented harm to the environment while reducing the regulatory burden
on generators of these wastes.
Universal wastes include the following waste types:
