Standards for Potentially Creditable Hazardous Waste Pharmaceuticals
Section 726.603Â Standards for Potentially Creditable
Hazardous Waste Pharmaceuticals
a)Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Hazardous
Waste Determination for Potentially Creditable Pharmaceuticals. A healthcare
facility that generates a solid waste that is a potentially creditable
pharmaceutical must determine whether the potentially creditable pharmaceutical
is a potentially creditable hazardous waste pharmaceutical (i.e., it is a
listed hazardous waste in Subpart D of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 721 or exhibits a
characteristic of hazardous waste identified in Subpart C of 35 Ill. Adm. Code
721). A healthcare facility may choose to manage its potentially creditable
non-hazardous waste pharmaceuticals as potentially creditable hazardous waste
pharmaceuticals under Subpart P.
b)Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Accepting
Potentially Creditable Hazardous Waste Pharmaceuticals from an Off-Site
Healthcare Facility That Is a VSQG. A healthcare facility may accept
potentially creditable hazardous waste pharmaceuticals from an off-site
healthcare facility that is a VSQG under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 722.114 without a
permit or interim status, if the receiving healthcare facility meets the
following conditions:
1)Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â The
receiving healthcare facility is under the control of the same person (as
defined in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 720.110) as the VSQG healthcare facility sending
the potentially creditable hazardous waste pharmaceuticals off site ("control",
for this section, means the power to direct the policies of the healthcare
facility whether by ownership of stock, voting rights, or otherwise, except
that contractors who operate healthcare facilities on behalf of a different
person as defined in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 720.110 are not considered to
"control" the healthcare facilities), or the sending healthcare
facility has a contractual or other documented business relationship in which the
receiving healthcare facility supplies pharmaceuticals to the VSQG healthcare
facility;
2)Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â The
receiving healthcare facility is operating under Subpart P for the management
of its potentially creditable hazardous waste pharmaceuticals;
3)Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â The
receiving healthcare facility manages the potentially creditable hazardous
waste pharmaceuticals that it receives from off site in compliance with Subpart
P; and
4)Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â The
receiving healthcare facility keeps records of the potentially creditable
hazardous waste pharmaceuticals shipments it receives from off site for three
years from the date that the shipment is received.
c)Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Prohibition.Â
A healthcare facility is prohibited from sending hazardous wastes other than potentially
creditable hazardous waste pharmaceuticals to a reverse distributor.
d)Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Annual
Reporting by Healthcare Facilities. A healthcare facility is not subject to
annual reporting requirements under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 722.141 for potentially
creditable hazardous waste pharmaceuticals managed under Subpart P.
e)Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Recordkeeping
by Healthcare Facilities
1)Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â A
healthcare facility initiating a shipment of potentially creditable hazardous
waste pharmaceuticals to a reverse distributor must keep the following records
(paper or electronic) for each shipment for three years after the date of
shipment:
A)Â Â Â Â Â Â Â The
confirmation of delivery; and
B)Â Â Â Â Â Â Â The
shipping papers prepared in compliance with subpart C of 49 CFR 172,
incorporated by reference in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 720.111, if applicable.
2)Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â The
periods of retention referred to in this Section are extended automatically
during any unresolved enforcement action regarding the regulated activity, or
as requested in writing by the Agency.
3)Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â All
records must be readily available upon request by a USEPA or Agency inspector.
f)Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Response
to Spills of Potentially Creditable Hazardous Waste Pharmaceuticals at
Healthcare Facilities. A healthcare facility must immediately contain all
spills of potentially creditable hazardous waste pharmaceuticals and manage the
spill clean-up materials as non-creditable hazardous waste pharmaceuticals in compliance
with Subpart P.
