Hazardous waste accumulation must follow the University of Florida guidance presented here. UF guidance is based on Federal and State regulation and must be followed closely in order to avoid harm to human health or to the environment. Hazardous waste accumulation throughout campus is subject to unannounced Federal and State inspection. Non-compliance can result in both civil and criminal penalty.
Satellite Accumulation
Hazardous Waste at the University of Florida must be initially accumulated at the point of generation, in designated “Satellite Accumulation Areas,” or SAAs. The EPA has simplified hazardous waste management at this level and the requirements are summarized in the Satellite Accumulation Area Requirements and Illustrated in the poster below.
