New Publications for Permanent Facility Design
As the household hazardous waste stream has expanded, local jurisdictions are increasingly considering the option of building new permanent HHW facilities to accommodate rising volumes. In response, CIWMB has published the Permanent Household Hazardous Waste Facility Guidance Document and Permanent Household Hazardous Waste Facility Design Manual. The purpose of these documents is to assist jurisdictions that are considering building permanent HHW facilities. The first document provides an introduction to and overview of the facility design process, while the design manual contains more details, including how to assess the need for a facility, facility/operations costs, and regulatory requirements.

Statutes and Regulations. References to statutes from the Health and Safety and Public Resources Codes and regulations governing the used oil and household hazardous waste programs.
