Section 3745-52-214 - Laboratory management planAn eligible academic entity shall develop and retain a written "Laboratory Management Plan" (LMP), or revise an existing written plan. The LMP is a site-specific document that describes how the eligible academic entity shall manage unwanted materials in compliance with rules 3745-52-200 to 3745-52-216 of the Administrative Code. An eligible academic entity may write one LMP for all the laboratories owned by the eligible academic entity that have opted to use rules 3745-52-200 to 3745-52-216 of the Administrative Code, even if the laboratories are located at sites with different U.S. EPA identification numbers. The LMP shall contain two parts with a total of nine elements identified in paragraphs (A) and (B) of this rule. "Part I" of the LMP shall describe procedures for each of the elements listed in paragraph (A) of this rule. An eligible academic entity shall implement and comply with the specific provisions developed to address the elements in "Part I" of the LMP. "Part II" of the LMP shall describe best management practices for each of the elements listed in paragraph (B) of this rule. The specific actions taken by an eligible academic entity to implement each element in "Part II" of the LMP may vary from the procedures described in the LMP without constituting a violation of rules 3745-52-200 to 3745-52-216 of the Administrative Code.
