Does the institution have strategies in place to safely dispose of all hazardous, special (e.g. coal ash), universal, and non-regulated chemical waste and seek to minimize the presence of these materials on campus?:
A brief description of steps taken to reduce hazardous, special (e.g. coal ash), universal, and non-regulated chemical waste:
There are both a Hazard Communication Plan and a Chemical Hygiene Plan in place that ensure our policies and actions at NSCC comply with Federal, State, and Local Hazardous material handling regulations, and we always deal with such items in the most responsible way possible.
A brief description of how the institution safely disposes of hazardous, universal, and non-regulated chemical waste:
As a state institution, we are obligated to remove hazardous waste in compliance with OSHA and state standards, which are applied differently depending on which type of hazardous or non-regulated chemical waste is in question.
