Description | To protect human health and the environment, anyone who generates or discovers solid waste on their site must designate and manage it safely. Some solid wastes can only be designated through sampling and laboratory analysis because you don’t have details about the process or materials used to generate the waste. This is unknown waste. Unknown waste awaiting designation is also called dangerous waste pending analysis. This focus sheet explains how to manage dangerous waste pending analysis. | ||||||
