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?:
Yes
None
A brief description of steps taken to reduce hazardous, special (e.g. coal ash), universal, and non-regulated chemical waste:
Miami's Environmental Health and Safety Office (EHSO) operates the hazardous, universal & special waste programs on campus. EHSO promotes inventory control & works with chemical storeroom(s) to reduce the amount of over-ordering of chemicals and thus reduces the amount of surplus/unused chemicals. When coal ash analysis shows pollutant levels below the threshold levels outlined in the beneficial use regulations, the ash can be used as road/trail base on university properties. This reduces the quantity of waste being sent to landfills.
None
A brief description of how the institution safely disposes of hazardous, universal, and non-regulated chemical waste:
