Subject: [DCHAS-L] Massachusetts adopts academic lab waste rule
People who have paid significant attention to the application of EPA's RCRA waste regulations to the laboratory setting may be interested in knowing that the state of Massachusetts recently adopted the EPA's Academic Labs Rule as 310 CMR 30.354. While this rule (known as Subpart K at the federal level) has some challenges associated with with it, it also presents an important opportunity to academic institutions develop a performance-oriented hazardous waste program. More information about this rule can be found at
As one of the people involved in helping to develop this rule over a 12 or so year period, I'd like to congratulate my Massachusetts colleagues on this milestone. Some of us have worked and waited for 20 years for this step!
Let me know if you have any questions about this.
