* <\/strong>An Acute Hazardous Waste is normally designated by a “P” number as its waste code. Acute hazardous waste is a category of hazardous waste that can exerts its toxicity with exposure to smaller quantities and in a shorter period of time than non-acute hazardous waste. This category of hazardous waste for the reasons mentioned has different reporting requirements. Sites that generate in any single calendar month, or accumulated at any time, 1 kg (2.2 lbs.) of acute hazardous waste are a RCRA LQG and must submit a Biennial Hazardous Waste Report to the Department for that reporting year.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
