To ensure proper disposal of wastes on campus, the Waste Management Plan will be followed when disposing of wastes on campus. All regulatory requirements will be followed to ensure compliance with all Federal, State and Local laws and ordinances.
According to Federal guidelines St. Norbert College is currently a Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generator [Wisconsin - Very Small Quantity Generator (VSQG)].
Our goal is to remain a Very Small Quantity Generator (VSQG).

On-Site Accumulation Quantity: Less than or equal to 1000 kg (2,200 lbs.); and less than or equal to 1 kg (2.2 lbs.) of acute hazardous waste; less than or equal to 100 kg (220 lbs.) of acute spill residue or soil.
EPA ID Number: WID 010241867 - Not required as a Very Small Quantity Generator. For site purposes we will continue to use our EPA ID number on shipping manifests and on all correspondence and reports.
Accumulation Time Limit: None.

A waste stream characterization for each experiment or process waste will be available based on generator knowledge, or on a chemical analysis of suspect waste streams or experiments. These records will be maintained by the CHO and made available in the Waste Management Plan.
