Hazardous Waste Management Bureau

The Hazardous Waste Management Bureau (HWMB) is responsible, for administering the State’s hazardous waste management program. The primary function of the HWMB is compliance assurance, which is achieved through a tiered approach: education/ outreach, generator certification, compliance assistance and compliance monitoring.

Outreach to the regulated community is provided through certification courses and self-certification documentation. Compliance assistance is provided by responding to requests for clarification by way of the HWCS Telephone Hotlines, and written regulatory interpretations. Compliance monitoring takes place when business and government entities are inspected to assess compliance with hazardous waste and used oil regulations. The HWMB is divided into four Sections: Hazardous Waste (RCRA) Compliance, Authorization, Permitting, and Certification. more…
