Elementary Neutralization

DEC allows generators to neutralize waste without a permit provided the generator complies with the personnel training, preparedness and prevention, contingency plan and emergency procedures, container management, and labeling rules. Stony Brook must ensure its neutralization activities qualify for the permitting exemption by maintaining compliance with the elementary neutralization conditional exemption requirements; or discontinue the elementary neutralization activities and collect and manage corrosive wastes as hazardous.
