MANAGEMENT OF STORM GENERATED
HAZARDOUS WASTE
HOUSEHOLD/ SMALL BUSINESS HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION CENTERS
Florida has an established network of local household and small business hazardous waste collection centers
that can provide a secure location for temporary storage of household hazardous wastes and emergency
storage of spilled or abandonedhazardous substances that pose a threat to the public or the environment.
Attachment A is a list of county household/small business hazardous waste collection program
contacts.
Attachment B is a list of the county hazardous waste compliance program contacts.
TEMPORARY STAGING AREAS
In the event that the local household hazardous waste collection center is not available, or there is a large amount of
waste, secure locations should be identified and registered using the following steps.
Identify a suitable and secure location. Disaster debris staging areas, parking lots, stadiums and parks
may need to be utilized for temporary storage of large amounts of waste.
Contact the FDEP representative in your area or in Tallahassee
Obtain a temporary Hazardous Waste Emergency EPA Identification number
A suitable Temporary Staging Area should be:
On an impermeable surface
Located in a secure area with limited access
Of sufficient size to allow for separation of incompatible materials and adequate aisle space to allow
for inspections and emergency access
Have adequate spill control and fire protection equipment
Managed only by persons with appropriate HAZWOPER and HAZMAT training
The waste in the temporary staging area should be:
Separated from incompatible materials
Maintained in closed containers that are in good condition and appropriate to the nature of the
waste.Protected from the elements
Obtain temporary Hazardous Waste Emergency EPA Identification Number
Pursuant to 62-730.161 Florida Administrative Code, emergency identification numbers should be
issued during emergency events to track shipments of hazardous waste. If you need an emergency
EPA/DEP I.D. number for an emergency response situation, contact the DEP district or Tallahassee
hazardous waste point of contact listed above with the information requested on the attached form
