Hazardous Waste Management Agreement
This agreement applies to all University of Central Florida areas and departments authorizing
contractors and their sub-contractors work on University-owned or -operated facilities;
University affiliated DSO facilities; and new construction at the main and branch campuses and
leased spaces.
This agreement defines the responsibilities for the generation, collection, transportation, and
disposal of hazardous waste. {_____________} generates hazardous chemical waste that the
University of Central Florida (UCF) collects, transports, and manages through UCF’s
Department of Environmental Health and Safety (EHS).
The basis of this agreement is derived from guidance provided by the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP)
where a written agreement that details responsibilities for regulatory compliance is
recommended between waste co-generating entities. As such, the details provided below are
intended to establish these responsibilities.
Applicable regulations include but are not limited to 40 CFR 260; 40 CFR 261; 40 CFR 262.10;
40 CFR 262.11; 40 CFR 262.34; FAC 62-710; FAC 62-730 and; FAC 62-737
1. EHS is responsible for collecting hazardous waste directly from the site of generation or
for arranging collection service through the current UCF hazardous waste vendor. Sites
outside of areas permitted for collection under UCF’s EPA ID FLD 981856974 will be
managed by solely the hazardous waste vendor and additional transportation charges may
be incurred.
2. {_____________} is responsible for ensuring compliance with applicable regulations for
wastes generation while such wastes are being generated, accumulated, or stored within
the entity’s facility until such time as EHS or the hazardous waste vendor takes
possession of the waste.
3. {_____________} is responsible for ensuring that staff and facilities are in compliance
with applicable EHS policies and procedures for preparing waste for collection such as
labeling, overfill prevention, container selection and closure, security, inspection of
storage areas, and maintaining containers free of outside contamination. These policies
and procedures are found in the most current EHS document entitled “Contractor
Environmental Work Practices” located on the Web at http://www.ehs.ucf.edu/.
4. EHS will assume responsibility for compliance with applicable regulations once EHS
takes possession of the waste. Possession occurs once the waste is loaded by EHS or the
UCF hazardous waste vendor onto transportation equipment for removal from the
satellite accumulation area where waste is being accumulated or stored. EHS will be
responsible for all federal, state, and local regulations applicable to waste manifesting,
transportation, storage, and disposal under the terms described above.

5. {_____________} will be responsible for reimbursing EHS for time, material, and
disposal costs according to the fee schedule in Appendix A. Charges will be reflective of

vendors and are subject to change annually on July 1. Improperly characterized materials
will incur additional charges.
6. {_______________} will be responsible for emergency response fees, clean-up fees, or
fines incurred due to improper collection, storage, or disposal while such wastes are
being generated, accumulated, or stored within the entity’s facility.
7. Completed Contractor Environmental Management System Agreement Forms will be
submitted to the UCF Department of Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) prior to
