Scheduled Waste's APPLICATION FOR SPECIAL
MANAGEMENT
The
Malaysian Department of Environment
(DOE) has classified certain wastes and defined them as scheduled wastes as
listed in the First Schedule of the Environmental Quality (Scheduled Wastes)
Regulations, 2005. In some cases, however, a number of these scheduled wastes does
not exhibit any hazardous characteristic and pose any potential hazard either to
human health or to the environment. Therefore, this legislation provides a
provision for the application known as the Special
Management of Schedule Waste. It is a legalized exemption but not amounting to its preclusion from DOE's supervision.
APPLICATION
FOR SPECIAL MANAGEMENT OF SCHEDULED WASTE
1.
Under Regulations 7 of the
Environmental Quality (Scheduled Wastes) Regulations, 2004, a generator of
scheduled wastes may apply to the Director General of Environmental Quality to
exclude a specific scheduled waste from scheduled waste regulations.
2.
The general requirements for
the application are described in this guideline.
3.
Any scheduled waste
generator may manage it’s waste as non
scheduled wastes after the Director General of Environmental Quality grants a
written approval or exclusion.
APPLICATION FOR
INFORMATION REQUIREMENTS
4.
In order for the waste to be excluded
from the requirements scheduled waste regulations requirement, scheduled waste
generators must demonstrate that the waste :-
i) Does
not exhibit any of the hazardous wastes characteristic - ignitability,
reactivity, corrosivity and toxicity , as defined in Appendix 1;
ii) Has
been proven by scientific studies and tests on its toxicity and carcinogenic
and does not have hazard effects on human or other life forms as specified in
Appendix 2, which amounted to concentration which is equal to, or exceeds the
percentage limits (percentage weights) specified in Appendix 3 . A generator/
applicant shall submit reports, records
or journals in order to prove that the waste does not exhibit any of the
elements mentioned; and
iii) It is not capable of posing potential hazard to human health
or the environment when improperly treated, stored, transported or disposed of,
or otherwise managed.
7. The applicant shall provide the
information as required in AS WM 1/4 form together with processing fee of RM
300.00 which is not refundable (Appendix
4).
Appendix
1
CHARACTERISTIC
OF HAZARDOUS WASTE
It is the responsibility of waste generator
to determine whether his waste exhibits one or more of these characteristics.
The following are the scheduled wastes
and thus subject to determination as whether they exhibit hazardous and/or
toxic characteristics:
- Air
pollution control residues, including dusts, ashes, carbon and other reagents
and sludges.
- Dust,
powder, ash, slag and dross from metals processing, including smelting and
soldering.
- Contaminated
soil and water deriving from construction activities, such as excavation,
dredging
Characteristic
of corrosivity.
A waste exhibits the characteristic of
corrosivity if a representative sample of the waste has either of the following
properties:
(1) It
has an aqueous component and has a pH less than or equal to 2, or greater than
or equal to 12.5, as determined by a pH meter.
(2) It
has a liquid component and corrodes steel (SAE 1020) at a rate greater than
6.35 mm (0.250 inch) per year at a test temperature of 55oC (130oF).
Characteristic
of ignitability.
A waste exhibits the characteristic of
ignitability if a representative sample of the waste has any of the following
properties:
(1) It
is a liquid, other than an aqueous solution containing less than 24 percent
alcohol by volume and has flash point less than 60oC (140oF),
as determined by a Pensky-Martens Closed Cup Tester or a Setaflash Closed Cup
Tester.
(2) It
is not a liquid and is capable, under standard temperature and pressure, of
causing fire through friction, absorption of moisture or spontaneous chemical
changes and, when ignited, burns so vigorously and persistently that it
creates hazard.
(3) It
is an ignitable compressed gas.
(4) It
is an oxidizer.
Characteristic
of reactivity.
A waste exhibits the characteristic of
reactivity if a representative sample of the waste has any of the following
properties:
(1) It
is normally unstable and readily undergoes violent changes without detonating.
(2) It
reacts violently with water.
(3) It
forms potentially explosive mixtures with water.
(4) When
mixed with water, it generates toxic gases, vapors or fumes in a quantity
sufficient to present a danger to human health or the environment.
(5) It
is a cyanide or sulfide bearing waste which, when exposed to pH conditions
between 2 and 12.5, can generate toxic gases, vapors or fumes in a quantity
sufficient to present a danger to human health or the environment.
(6) It
is capable of detonation or explosive reaction if it is subjected to a strong
initiating source or if heated under confinement.
(7) It
is readily capable of detonation or explosive decomposition or reaction at
standard temperature and pressure.
(8) It
is a forbidden explosive.
Toxicity
characteristic.
A
waste exhibits the characteristic of toxicity if, the extract from a
representative sample of the waste contains any of the contaminants listed in
Table 1 at the concentration equal to or greater than the respective value
given in that table.

Toxicity Characteristic (TCLP);

9. Carcinogenic:
Substances and products which if they are inhaled or ingested, or if they
penetrate the skin, may induce cancer or increases its incidence.
|
|
10. Mutagenic : Substances
and products which if they are inhaled or ingested, or if they penetrate the
skin, may induce hereditary genetic defects or increase their incidence.
|
|
11. Teratogenic and harmful to fertility:
Substances and products which if they are inhaled or ingested, or if they
penetrate the skin, may induce or increase the incidence of non-hereditary
side-effects in offspring or a deterioration of male or female fertility or
ability to fertilise.
|
|
Harmful to the environment
|
12. Ecotoxic: Substances and
products which present, or may present immediate or delayed risks for one or
more sectors of the environment.
|
Infectious
|
13. Infectious:
Substances containing viable micro-organisms or their toxins which are known
or reliably believed to cause disease in man or other living organisms.
|
Methods
of examination
In testing for characteristics 1 to 11,
the method of examination used shall be as stated in the following European
Community (EC) Directives:
i.
Council Directive 87/302/European
Economic Commission (EEC)1 for toxicity and ecotoxicity tests;
ii.
Council Directive 92/69/EEC2
for physical, chemical, toxicity and ecotoxiciy tests; and
iii.
Council Directive 96/54/EC3
for toxicity and health effects tests.

Percentage limitations which render waste non hazardous
In the assessment of whether waste which
contains a mixture of one or more chemical substances is hazardous, characteristics which are mentioned in
Appendix 1 should be taken into account.
Waste
is hazardous under all circumstances if:

¨
The sum of the composite, chemical
substance(s) which exhibit the characteristics specified in the Appendix 1
amounts to a concentration which is equal to, or exceeds, the following
percentage limits (percentage weights).
