Aerosol Can Disposal
Even though EPA has approved the disposal of aerosol cans as a Universal Waste, Virginia has NOT adopted this new rule and generators of spent aerosol cans should continue to manage these cans as hazardous waste, properly manage them on site in accordance with the provisions in Part 262 of the VHWMR, and properly dispose of the cans at a hazardous waste treatment, storage, and/or disposal facility, or send them to a RCRA recycler.
There are some easy ways to dispose of aerosol cans in compliance with Virginia regulations - contact contact VADEQ or your environmental consultant for more information to determine the best option for your business.
Stormwater BMP Maintenance
With the start of spring and the beginning of summer, it's a good time to focus on some “spring cleaning” activities. It's time for maintenance to protect your investment in BMP's! A failed BMP means damage to property and potential fines from your locality or state, so break out your list of stormwater controls, maintenance schedules, and inspection forms, find a pen, pencil, or computer, and let's start prioritizing and cleaning!
