Hazardous Waste Management and Reduction Plan

I. PURPOSE AND AUTHORIZATION

A. The purpose of this waste plan is to provide instruction to all scientists generating hazardous waste

in Amyris in order to meet all city, County, State and Federal hazardous waste management

regulations (see references A and B).

B. This plan has been authorized by representatives from the Executive Safety Team and the Director

of Environmental Health and Safety (EHS).

II. OVERVIEW OF REGULATIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES

A. The Federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act established the framework for hazardous

waste regulations. This act introduced the concept that the generator of waste (Amyris) is

responsible for proper waste management from “cradle-to-grave” (in other words, from laboratory

to disposal site). The California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) regulates the

Hazardous Waste Program in California. The city of Emeryville and Alameda County have, in turn,

been authorized to implement parts of the Hazardous Waste Program. Thus, City, County, State,

and Federal regulators all have jurisdiction over hazardous waste management at Amyris.

B. It is the responsibility of the department manager or supervisor to oversee compliance within their

assigned areas. It is the responsibility of the research staff to perform the procedures outlined in

this waste plan. In addition, the manager is responsible for minimizing waste, ensuring the correct

characterization of the laboratory waste as well proper disposal of the waste. Managers must allow

employees to be properly trained.

C. Employees are responsible for ensuring that chemicals are disposed in the properly labeled/dated

containers that all containers are closed after filling, and that secondary containments are used for

the waste. They are responsible for understanding general emergency protocols in case of a spill.

D. It is the responsibility of the EHS Department to develop and implement a hazardous waste plan

and provide training to promote compliance with the plan. EHS representatives will provide

assistance to scientists to characterize their waste and to assist in waste minimization, pollution

prevention, and disposal. In addition, EHS is responsible for ensuring all waste manifests are

retained and that all waste streams have updated profiles. EHS is responsible for sending out the

signed copies of the manifest to the applicable state agency and paying state regulatory fees. EHS

is responsible for coordinating waste pickup and storage as well as ensuring that all waste is

appropriately labeled, dated and within correct storage limits.

III. TRAINING AND DOCUMENTATION

A. Every employee who generates hazardous chemical waste must be trained yearly. Amyris is

committed to the required annual training for all “generators” and relies upon the manager or

supervisor to ensure their staff is in compliance with all applicable training requirements. See

Appendix B for Training program.

B. Only employees trained and certified by OSHA HAZWOPER standards (29 CFR 1910.120) are

allowed to clean up larger spills of Hazardous Waste which present imminent danger. Evidence of

HAZWOPER training, if available, will be retained by Amyris EHS. If such training is not in evidence,

spill cleanup must be carried out using a certified Decon company.


C. Job descriptions will be maintained for individuals with primary responsibilities toward hazardous

waste collection and storage.

D. Only certified waste haulers are authorized to transport hazardous waste from the Amyris facility.

Amyris will maintain a copy of this certification.

IV. WASTE CHARACTERIZATION

A. General Characterization

A waste is defined as a material that has no intended use or reuse. A material does not become

a waste until the scientist has determined the material is no longer useful. For example, an

effluent container attached to equipment such as an HPLC is not necessarily waste unless the

generator has determined that there will be no use for the material.

The scientist responsible for generating the waste and is responsible for adequately identifying and

labeling the waste. EHS cannot accept unidentified or unlabeled wastes. If there are any

questions or uncertainties regarding how or where to dispose of hazardous chemical waste, contact

EHS.

B. A material can become a waste by several methods, including but not limited to:

1. A by-product of a process

2. Expiration date exceeded

3. Nonconforming material (off-specification)

4. Excess material

5. Mistaken order

6. No longer needed

C. Types of Waste Streams at Amyris

Currently, there are several categories of waste at Amyris – Solid waste (regular trash), biohazard

waste, sharps waste, radioactive waste, recyclable waste (papers, cardboard, beverage

containers), universal wastes (Ni-Cd batteries, fluorescent lamps), and hazardous waste.

1. Biological waste is handled through a Biowaste management program (See SOP00044 ref.

C) and is never to be stored with chemical wastes. If you have a mixture of chemical and

biological waste, it shall be treated as chemical waste.

a. Sharps waste includes but is not limited to needles, syringes, and razor blades.

These items must be collected in a rigid, puncture-resistant container such as a

“sharps container”. When filled, these containers are bagged and disposed of

along with the biohazard waste.


2. Radioactive waste generated at Amyris is collected and stored on-site until collection and

then it is disposed as radioactive waste. It is handled under the Radiation Safety Program

(ref. D)

3. Hazardous waste streams include, but are not limited to, liquid flammable waste, liquid

aqueous/organic waste (high water content), aqueous acids, aqueous bases, solid

hazardous waste, and laboratory packages (lab packs).

a. Flammable solvents or fuels shall be segregated according to the amount of water

present. HPLC waste containing a large quantity of water will be kept separately

from higher BTU organic waste.

b. Flammable solvents contained in small vials or in sealed high throughput plates

may be disposed in flammable vial waste stream provided the volume of liquid is

low (~ 1 mL or approved by EHS).

c. Strong acids and bases shall be collected separately from all other waste streams

due to incompatibility with other chemicals.

d. Strong oxidizers and organic peroxides shall also be collected separately from all

other waste streams due to incompatibility with other chemicals.

e. Carcinogens and highly toxic chemicals shall be collected separately from other

waste streams. Scientists that have “P” or “U” listed chemicals for disposal need

to contact EHS (See ref. A).

f. Items such as polymerized gels, ion exchange resins, and phosphoramidites must

be containerized in a rigid container and labeled with a Hazardous Waste label.

g. Gloves, paper towels, glass pipettes and bench liners shall be disposed of as

hazardous waste if contaminated with hazardous chemicals. Glass is

segregated in hard walled bins for collection. If not contaminated, these items shall

be placed in regular lab trash or solid waste.

h. Lab packs are small containers of chemicals that do not fall into Amyris’ bulk

hazardous waste profiles. These could include off-spec chemicals, reagents that

are no longer needed, noxious odor chemicals, or reactive chemicals that are not

compatible or present a danger when aggregating. These are labeled and

collected individually.

4. Empty gas cylinders must be labeled as empty and collected via pick-up request. Cylinders

do not require secondary containment, however cylinders must be restrained appropriately

(with two chains) even if empty.

5. Non-toxic reagent or solvent bottles that may have been triple-rinsed and/or are container

drip dry shall be placed in the glass recycling containers. Remember to deface the chemical

label, remove the inventory barcode and indicate the container has been cleaned.

a. Empty reagent bottles that previously contained acutely or extremely hazardous

materials shall not be rinsed for recycling and will be collected and labeled as solid

hazardous waste.


D. Hierarchy of Waste Classifications

1. Once you have decided the material is a waste, the waste must be identified. There are

different regulations that govern types of waste. The hierarchy of waste classifications is

an important step in determining the process for which waste is handled.

Radioactive

Radioactive + chemical = Radioactive Waste

Radioactive + biological = Radioactive Waste

Chemical

Chemical + biological = Hazardous Chemical Waste

Biological Biological + sharps= Biohazardous Waste

Regular trash Should contain NONE of the above.

2. California State law mandates that any chemical waste that is flammable, toxic, corrosive,

or reactive is considered a hazardous waste. Any opportunity to segregate wastes within

your work area will facilitate the removal of wastes. If you have a mixed waste, refer to the

appropriate program for disposal and/or contact EHS.

E. Non-hazardous Waste

1. If the material does not fall in one of the four categories for hazardous waste (see D.2

above), it still must pass an aquatic toxicity test to be considered non-hazardous.

2. There are very few chemicals at Amyris that are considered non-hazardous, thus the

majority of chemicals you work with will need to be handled as hazardous waste once you

have determined the material is a waste. When in doubt, assume it is a hazardous waste

and dispose of it accordingly. Check with EHS if you have any questions.

V. LABELING WASTE

A. Hazardous Waste Label

1. All hazardous chemical waste must be properly labeled. There are no exceptions to this

rule. Most regulatory citations received during inspections for hazardous waste are due to

absent or incorrectly filled out labels. Use the standard waste label provided by Amyris

(see Appendix C). In addition to the words “Hazardous Waste”, the required information

for labels is:

a. Accumulation date.

b. Generator information.

c. Chemical constituents

d. Physical state

e. Hazard category

B. Labeling Containers of Waste

1. Accumulation Date


a. The accumulation date allows Amyris and regulatory agencies to track compliance

with disposal time limits. For Amyris, hazardous waste must be removed from the

site within 90 days from the accumulation date. The month, day and year must be

included on the waste label. Accumulation dates must

not be crossed out. For hazardous waste that is routinely picked up every week

from lab locations, these containers shall be labeled with “empty weekly”.

2. The regulations define the accumulation date as:

a. The date that a new container receives a drop of chemical waste, or

b. The date that a hazardous material container is emptied (see the Empty Container

Decision Chart to see if it needs to be managed as hazardous waste).

C. Generator Information and EPA Identification number

1. This section defines the Business and site address. Each site address or building should

have its own unique EPA identification number. Hazardous waste may not be transported

offsite unless there is an active EPA identification number for that site.

D. Chemical Name/Constituent

1. List the chemical name of each known constituent including water. You must write the

name in full, do not use formulas (e.g.CH2Cl2) or abbreviations (e.g. DCM). If the container

holds a mixture, list the percentage of each constituent or concentration (e.g. 20%

methylene chloride, 80% water).

E. Physical State

1. Information on physical state is legally required. The labels and forms need to be explicitly

marked. Check solid, liquid, or gas. If the waste is two-phase, check solid/liquid. Gas is

only used if compressed gasses are being disposed of.

F. Hazard Category

1. Check only one. Check the one that is the most hazardous, also known as the primary

hazard. Use your best judgment here. Options are corrosive, flammable, reactive, and toxic.

2. Since the generator has the most intimate knowledge about the work he/she is doing, it is

their responsibility to ensure the information is properly communicated on the container in

the form of a hazardous waste label.

Note: If any of the information on the label is incorrect please contact EHS.

G. Other References for Assisting in Identifying the Waste Name

1. Safety Data Sheets (SDS)

These chemical information sheets provide information such as hazard category. Some

chemicals may have more than one hazard category and the SDS will give the generator

information on the primary hazard. SDSs can be obtained by visiting MSDSOnline through

the Company Safety Intranet site.


2. Safety Reviews/SOPs

For new procedures it is important to carry out a safety review and develop standard

operating procedures. Waste disposition is a part of process development and methods

for safe disposal of materials should be determined through the safety review and SOP

process prior to initiating the work.

VI. CONTAINMENT MANAGEMENT

A. Containment of Hazardous Chemical Waste

1. There are two main concerns about containing wastes: the primary/secondary container

compatibility and accumulation criteria.

a. Hazardous chemical waste can be either in Liquid or Solid form. The containers

will be dramatically different. Liquid waste should not be mixed with solids.

b. Examples of containers and labeling (see Appendix D).

2. It is the individual employee’s responsibility to have primary and secondary containers for

waste chemicals and to ensure the containers are in good condition and are compatible

with the wastes stored in them. In most cases, you can contact EHS to obtain such

containers. If the following criteria are met, almost any container with a proper closure will

work for storing chemical waste.

Container Criteria and Compatibility

Primary Containers Secondary Containers

Screw caps or lids are required Required for all wastes

May be open only when adding waste Solids: may use boxes and containers with

lids

Must not be rusty or compromised

(leaks)

If only one container of waste, the

secondary container must be able to hold

110% volume of the primary container

Beaker or flasks are not permitted

May use yellow or clear plastic bags for

solid hazardous waste solids

The yellow garbage-like cans are the

secondary container.

Container Compatibility Criteria

Waste must be compatible with:

The container,

Other wastes in the container (if any), and

Other wastes stored in the same secondary container (if any).

Put acids and mixtures of acids and metals and bases in separate primary and

secondary containers.

Do not put:

- Chemical waste in the biological waste containers or bags

- Strong solvents in plastic

- Strong acids in metal

- Broken glass in bags unless in a hard walled container.


B. Chemical Waste Management in Your Laboratory

1. Waste must be stored in containers that are compatible with the waste. Generally, five

gallon containers or smaller are used.

2. It is advisable to set up a dedicated area within your labs where hazardous waste is

collected. This type of area is called a satellite accumulation area.

3. You cannot accumulate more than 55 gallons of hazardous waste or one (1) quart of any

single extremely or acutely hazardous waste in a satellite accumulation area. See EHS

department for list of extremely hazardous wastes.

4. All waste must be properly labeled as to its content (see Appendix C).

5. All hazardous waste containers must be dated with the date the chemical was first placed

in the container. The date will travel with the primary container.

6. All containers must be in secondary containment and closed when not in use.

7. Ensure that waste going into the container has proper characteristics according to the

waste profiles established.

8. Waste management practices in the labs are monitored with quarterly safety inspections.

C. Waste Storage Areas

1. Aisles must be present and clear so that all waste containers can be viewed.

2. All containers must be properly labeled and dated (See Appendix C).

3. Containers must be in good condition, not leaking, and closed when not being used.

4. Incompatible waste streams must be kept separate.

5. The area must be managed by personnel specifically trained to handle and transport

hazardous waste.

6. Requires documentation weekly that the secondary containment has been checked and

remains clear (Appendix E).

7. The maximum storage time for waste on-site is limited to 90 days.

D. Transferring Waste at Amyris

1. At least twice a week, EHS or Technician (contractor) will pick up hazardous waste in each

lab. Scientist should contact EHS if scheduled pick-ups do not happen. For these waste

streams, the staff member picking up the waste will replace each waste container with a

pre-labeled empty container.

2. For scientists that have an occasional waste or event-based waste, the generator will need

to request a pick-up. Contact EHS for pick-up. State your name and laboratory room

number, type of waste, quantity, and whether you will need a replacement container. For

these pick-up requests, the generator is responsible for working with EHS to properly

dispose of these wastes.

3. Likewise, if you fall under the blanket pick-up request and have a “new” waste that is not

the same profile as the scheduled pick-up, you will need to make a pick-up request.

E. Segregating Wastes at Amyris

1. Because the generator or scientist is most knowledgeable of the wastes created in the lab,

it is scientist’s responsibility to segregate the waste created into the proper waste streams.

Do not throw regular garbage such as paper into these containers. Hazardous waste


disposal costs are high and Amyris is charged based on volume, type and weight of

hazardous waste.

2. It is important to understand and be clear on what constitutes the various waste categories.

For example, a waste misplaced in the solid waste (trash) could create a chemical exposure

hazard for our employees that are not trained to handle hazardous waste. Similarly,

misplaced sharps create a physical hazard. Improperly managed waste is a severe

violation of State laws and carries criminal liability.

3. Keep chemicals that are in-use separated from the waste collection areas.

4. If you have any doubt about the disposition of any waste, feel free to call EHS for guidance.

VII. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)/EMERGENCY RESPONSE

A. PPE

1. When disposing of any hazardous or biological waste, scientists should wear appropriate

PPE. As a minimum this would be a lab coat, safety glasses and compatible gloves in

regards to the waste. See PPE Plan and Policy (ref. E).

2. When bulking hazardous waste, an appropriate respirator shall be worn by certified users

addition to lab coat, eye protection and gloves if suitable engineering controls are not

available. See Respiratory Protection Plan (ref F) .

B. Emergency Clean-up Supplies

1. Emergency clean-up supplies such as spill pillows and neutralizers exist in emergency kits

found in the hallways of each building.

2. The equipment can be used in the clean-up of hazardous chemicals if you are trained.

C. Emergency Response

1. Employees may clean up incidental spills of hazardous waste provided they have been

trained in hazardous waste handling and spill cleanup.

2. If you are unsure of how to clean up the spill or it is an unknown, call the EH&S or the

Receptionist at x701 to locate EH&S or FRT, First Response Team.

3. Amyris First Responders shall aid in the cleanup of hazardous waste provided that the spill

does not involve the following high hazards unless they have received training per 29 CFR

1910.120:

a. High concentrations of toxic substances.

b. Situation that is life or injury threatening.

c. Imminent Danger to Life and Health (IDLH) environments.

d. Situation that presents an oxygen deficient atmosphere.

e. Condition that poses a fire or explosion hazard.


f. Situation that required an evacuation of the area.

4. In the event of a large chemical spill which presents imminent danger to the employees

and public, call EHS immediately to dispatch the Decon Company. If you are unable to

reach EHS call the Decon Company directly (see posted Emergency contact information,

Appendix F).

VIII. HAZARDOUS WASTE MINIMIZATION

A. Annual Planning

Hazardous waste minimization is required for all employees who generate hazardous wastes. A

primary purpose of this management plan is to identify ways to reduce the volume and toxicity of

waste generated. EHS Hazardous Waste Management Plan (HWMP) includes an annual

certification that hazardous waste generation has been minimized and the best available waste

management method has been selected. Amyris EHS will work with the end users to identify areas

where hazardous waste may be reduced and specific methods (See Appendix G for Waste

Minimization Methods). The following guidelines serve as a starting point for establishing a waste

minimization methods.

• Source Reduction; purchase only what is needed, check chemical inventory before

ordering and rotate stocks before shelf-life expires.

• Substitute non-hazardous or less toxic materials in chemical processes, experiments, and

maintenance operations.

• Review and modify processes to minimize amount of waste generated. Recycle byproducts streams, samples for analysis and empty glass or plastic containers where possible.

• Select equipment not only for task, but potential for failure, accident, or other occurrences

that could result in release of hazardous materials.

• Isolate wastes from various steps to allow more treatment options and prevent

crosscontamination.

Waste handling and minimization shall be addressed at the start of new processes using

hazardous materials through a process hazard analysis.

IX. RECORDKEEPING

A. All training records should be kept for that person’s employment plus 3 years

B. All inspection reports and corrections should be kept for 2 years

C. All waste manifests should be kept for at least 3 years from date of generation

D. All other regulatory reports when applicable such as fees, generator reports, and biannual report

will be kept for at least 5 years from date of generation.

conditions as well as any changes to the regulations.


APPENDIX A

HAZARDOUS WASTE GENERATOR CODE OF CONDUCT

Do not pour any amount of hazardous material/waste down the drain.

Pour hazardous waste into the appropriately labeled hazardous waste container.

Containers of liquid/solid hazardous waste must be labeled with the composition, appropriate

chemical hazard and physical state.

Hazardous waste containers must be dated with the day that the first drop of waste was put into the

container. Date should change after each pickup unless they are identified as emptied weekly.

Hazardous waste must be shipped offsite within 90 days of the accumulation start date.

Do not mix incompatible waste together nor MIX liquid and solid hazardous waste together

Keep hazardous waste in the designated accumulation areas and separate from in-process

samples.

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment when pouring hazardous waste into containers.

Hazardous waste is picked up weekly from the lab accumulation areas. If hazardous waste

containers become >3/4 full, contact EHS.

All hazardous waste containers must be closed when not in use (funnels must be latched).

All hazardous waste containers need to be double-contained, such as using a pan or a tub to

capture any spills.

Check hazardous waste containers daily to insure that there is no leakage and that they are not

overfilled.

Clean up any small spills immediately if you are able to do so without help. But if the spill is large

and requires assistance, isolate the area and call for help (x4800).

APPENDIX G- WASTE MINIMIZATION PLANS

Hazardous Waste Minimization Methods:

• Recycling < or = 5 gallon solvent containers

• Implementation of wash program for recycling of high throughput HDPE plates

• Substitution of less hazardous chemicals when possible.

• Bulking of flammable solvents for incineration and fuel burning credit

• Bulking of solid waste in re-usable cubic yard box instead of individual 55 gallon metal drums.

• Use of recyclable propane cans for Biology.

• Recycling of used 55 gallon metal drums from the Pilot Plant.

• Bulking of combustible Out-of-Spec hydrocarbon products with flammable waste.

• Fermentation process waste water trucked to TSD facility for cleanup and reuse.

• Accessible Chemical Inventory

• Testing of unknown chemicals to determine hazard classification prior to disposal.

• Annual Training in Hazardous Waste and Minimization

• Tracking and monitoring monthly hazardous waste totals

Why waste minimization is important?

Waste minimization is important because it helps to protect the environment and it makes good

business sense. Waste minimization saves money through avoided disposal costs, creates safer

working conditions for employees, and protects human health and the environment.
