Removing containers of unwanted material from the laboratory

1. Removing containers of unwanted material on a regular schedule. An eligible academic entity must either: a. Remove all containers of unwanted material from each laboratory on a regular interval, not to exceed six months; or b. Remove containers of unwanted material from each laboratory within six months of each container's accumulation start date. 2. The eligible academic entity must specify in part I of its laboratory management plan whether the eligible academic entity will comply with subdivision a or b of subsection 1 for the regular removal of unwanted material from the eligible academic entity's laboratories. 3. The eligible academic entity must specify in part II of its laboratory management plan how the eligible academic entity will comply with subdivision a or b of subsection 1 and develop a schedule for regular removals of unwanted material from the eligible academic entity's laboratories. 4. Removing containers of unwanted material when volumes are exceeded. a. If a laboratory accumulates a total volume of unwanted material (including reactive acutely hazardous unwanted material) in excess of fifty-five gallons before the regularly scheduled removal, the eligible academic entity must ensure that all containers of unwanted material in the laboratory (including reactive acutely hazardous unwanted material): (1) Are marked on the label that is associated with the container (or on the label that is affixed or attached to the container) with the date that fifty-five gallons is exceeded; and (2) Are removed from the laboratory within ten calendar days of the date that fifty-five gallons was exceeded, or at the next regularly scheduled removal, whichever comes first. b. If a laboratory accumulates more than one quart of liquid reactive acutely hazardous unwanted material or more than one kilogram [2.2 pounds] of solid reactive acutely hazardous unwanted material, before the regularly scheduled removal, then the eligible academic entity must ensure that all containers of reactive acutely hazardous unwanted material: (1) Are marked on the label that is associated with the container (or on the label that is affixed or attached to the container) with the date that one quart or one kilogram is exceeded; and (2) Are removed from the laboratory within ten calendar days of the date that one quart or one kilogram was exceeded, or at the next regularly scheduled removal, whichever comes first.
