Reopening or repackaging of the sealed primary container in which the waste was received is prohibited, unless a waste is eligible for consolidation according to subsection (d), or the primary container is damaged or leaking.(E) Leaking or damaged lab packs and primary waste containers shall be immediately managed in accordance with the contingency plan and spill response and cleanup procedures required by section 67450.44.(F) Personnel reopening or repackaging lab packs at the SHWCCAF are trained and work practices are managed in accordance with applicable requirements of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, California Code of Regulations, title 8, sections 3380 and 5192.(3) Personnel handling the laboratory hazardous wastes at the contributing school, in transit to the SHWCCAF, or at the SHWCCAF are trained in hazardous waste management and transport in accordance with sections 66265.16 and 67450.47.(d) Only the following hazardous wastes may be consolidated with wastes of the same type into a single container at a SHWCCAF. Consolidation of these wastes shall be conducted only at the SHWCCAF and not during transport to the SHWCCAF. Each waste or wastestream listed shall be consolidated only with wastes or wastestreams of the same type. (2) Compatible formalin or formaldehyde solutions (that meet the conditions of subsection (c) above if generated in association with a school science laboratory);(3) Compatible laboratory specimens (that meet the conditions of subsection (c) above if generated in association with a school science laboratory);(5) Water-based or latex paints;(10) Compatible organic resins, including, but not limited to, roofing tar, caulking and patching compounds, and adhesives; and(11) Photoimaging solutions that are hazardous wastes solely due to the presence of silver.(e) A SHWCCAF shall be established only at an offsite, non-schoolyard location where operation of the SHWCCAF is consistent with local land use zoning or land use patterns (e.g., a school district corporation yard).(f) Wastes shall be accepted at the SHWCCAF only when personnel designated by the SHWCCAF owner or operator are present to accept and sign for the waste.Cal.
