SECTION/RULE §113.2077 - Waste Management Plan
Chapter Review Date 11/10/2023

The owner or operator of the affected facility shall prepare a waste management plan. The plan shall identify both the feasibility and the approach to separate certain components of solid waste from the health care waste stream in order to reduce the amount of toxic emissions from incinerated waste. A waste management plan may include, but is not limited to, consideration of solid waste components such as paper, cardboard, plastics, glass, battery, or metal recycling; or purchasing recycled or recyclable products. A plan may include different goals or approaches for different areas or departments of the facility and need not include new waste management goals for every waste stream. It should identify, where possible, reasonably available additional waste management measures, taking into account the effectiveness of waste management measures already in place, the costs of additional measures, the emission reductions expected to be achieved, and any other environmental or energy impacts they might have. The American Hospital Association publication entitled "An Ounce of Prevention: Waste Reduction Strategies for Health Care Facilities," dated 1993, shall be considered in the development of the waste management plan.
