Definitions
See Appendix I.
Requirements
1. Compliance
Implement management practices and controls in accordance with the stricter of Company requirements or applicable legal requirements 1 related to waste management. Establish and maintain processes to identify, access and periodically verify compliance with current versions of these applicable legal requirements. These processes may be specific to waste management or part of a more comprehensive compliance process.
Applicable legal requirements means any law, regulation, rule, requirement, standard, norm, decree or code applicable to the relevant facility and/or operation enacted, promulgated or issued by any governmental or regulatory agency or body at the National, Federal, State, Provincial, Municipal or other local level. It may also include relevant and applicable international or regional laws, regulations, rules and agreements, such as, but not limited to United Nations Guidelines and/or European Union (EU) Directives or Regulations, whether adopted into locally applicable law or directly applicable without the need for local adoption.

3. Waste Characterization
Characterize all wastes to distinguish hazardous wastes and non-hazardous wastes. Unless prohibited by local legal regulations, wastes meeting any of the criteria listed in Appendix II are to be characterized as hazardous wastes and managed accordingly. Wastes managed as non-hazardous, but for which the composition, hazards and characteristics cannot be reasonably confirmed through knowledge of the waste generation process, must be characterized through analytical testing as specified in Appendix II. o The testing regime must be appropriate to the waste and may exclude characteristics known to be not applicable. o Repeat testing if process or equipment changes could potentially alter the composition, hazards or characteristics of the waste. o Wastes with potentially variable constituents or characteristics, including biosolids and inorganic sludges, that are managed as non-hazardous waste must be tested at least annually. Maintain records of all waste characterizations, including the methods used and the results of any analytical testing.

6. Performance Measures
Establish and maintain a program to track waste generation, disposal and recycling in accordance with the EOSH Performance Measurement Requirements.
ES-RQ-220 Page 3 of 14
ES-RQ-220 Page 4 of 14
Ensure that samples for characterization and metals testing are homogeneous and representative of the waste-stream during the period. o Management practices and analytical testing must be in place to ensure that land application of biosolids does not negatively impact the environment. Biosolids may not be applied on- or off-site on land used for growing fruits or vegetables that are: Eaten raw (with the exception of those from fruit trees); or Grown in direct contact with the soil.
Prior to land application of such wastes on- or off-site, analyze a soil sample from the on-site or off-site land application location for the same parameters as the sludge to establish a baseline of existing conditions, and repeat such testing on an annual basis. If land application is already being undertaken, and no baseline analysis exists, complete it at the first opportunity. Monitor groundwater quarterly within the application area, as well as the groundwater up- and down-gradient of the application area. If groundwater is extracted on or in the nearby vicinity of the plant, or leaves the property, the quality of the groundwater at the point of extraction or leaving the property must not be degraded compared to up-gradient (unaffected) groundwater. If such soil or groundwater analyses indicate that concentrations of certain parameters are increasing, develop and implement an action plan to mitigate the environmental impact. Ensure that the soils liquid loading capacity is not exceeded to the point of destroying soil or vegetation.

8. Training
Ensure that employees and other affected personnel are adequately trained to handle waste materials generated or managed in their workspace. Training must be specific to the expected responsibilities and include, as a minimum: Initial training, covering: o Applicable legal and Company requirements; o The details of the facilitys waste management procedures; o Information about the physical and health hazards of hazardous wastes in the work area;

Revised document released as part of the TCCMS Redesign Governance Reset. This document contains content from the previous version with reformatting and significant rewording. Modified language in Vendor section to remove reference to Company Modified compliance, risk assessment and training requirements to align with other requirements. Added exception section for waste vendor management requirements to address use of government mandated vendors. Added requirements for electronic wastes and filter aid wastes. Added groundwater monitoring requirement for land application, modified definition of local regulation Added test references Added requirement for disposal/transportation contracts. Changed limits for pathogens from non-detect to fixed limits Added definition for landfill and land application, inserted standard compliance specification, minor word changes Reformatted to follow TCCQS KQ format

Appendix I
Definitions
Biohazard waste: Potentially infectious wastes contaminated with liquid blood or other body fluids, such as waste gloves, CPR shields, bandages and compresses, or cleanup materials generated during first aid and CPR procedures. All such waste must be managed as though it were infectious. Biosolids: Biomass is produced in the normal operation of wastewater treatment systems. For such systems to operate properly, excess biomass requires frequent removal to maintain a proper microbiological balance. This wasted biomass is commonly referred to as sludge or biosolids. Sanitary biosolids is defined below. Characterization: A determination as to whether a waste is hazardous or nonhazardous. May be done through analytical testing or, if the composition, hazards and characteristics of the waste are known with certainty, through a non-quantitative risk assessment. Electronic waste (e-waste): Obsolete and/or damaged equipment containing electronic components, including, but not limited to: computers and peripherals, printers, monitors, telecommunications equipment, radios, televisions, lab equipment, process monitoring and control equipment, cables and other connecting equipment and the batteries that power them. Hazardous waste: Any waste that is classified or characterized by pertinent government regulations or the Company criteria listed below as hazardous or is regulated because of the substantial danger it imposes on the public health and welfare and on the environment if improperly managed and released to the environment. Typically these wastes contain harmful constituents, such as toxic metals, or physical properties, such as corrosivity or flammability, among others. Inorganic sludges: Semi-solid wastes, typically generated by our manufacturing operations, such as water treatment sludge (flocs of iron or aluminum-based coagulants and hydrated lime), materials from the cleaning of drain pipes and sumps, storage tanks and spent media (activated carbon, sand and diatomaceous earth from water treatment and sugar purification). Landfill: A waste disposal practice in which a publicly (governmental) or privately owned area of land or excavation is legally permitted and intended to receive various types of solid, non-hazardous waste, such as household waste, commercial solid waste and construction or demolition debris for permanent disposal without regard to whether the wastes so disposed of will have any beneficial effect on the land. Examples of landfills include a municipal garbage dump or an industrial landfill, which are operated by a local government or private industry.
