  § 66273.52. Waste Management.  

Latest version.
  • (a) A universal waste transporter shall comply with all applicable U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations in 49 CFR parts 171 through 180 for transport of any universal waste that meets the definition of a hazardous material in 49 CFR 171.8. For purposes of DOT regulations, a material is considered a hazardous waste if it is subject to the Hazardous Waste Manifest Requirements of USEPA specified in 40 CFR part 262. Because universal waste does not require a hazardous waste manifest, it is not considered hazardous waste pursuant to DOT regulations.
    (b) Some universal waste materials are regulated by DOT as hazardous materials because they meet the criteria for one or more hazard classes specified in 49 CFR 173.2. As universal waste shipments do not require a manifest pursuant to chapter 12, they shall not be described by the DOT proper shipping name “hazardous waste, (l) or (s), n.o.s.”, nor shall the hazardous material's proper shipping name be modified by adding the word “waste”.
