1.2 DEFINITIONS
1.2.1 Contractor Generated Hazardous Waste
Contractor generated hazardous waste is material s that, if abandoned or disposed of, may meet the definition of a hazardous waste. These waste streams would typically consist of material brought on site by the Contractor to execute work, but are not fully consumed during the course of construction. Examples include, but are not limited to, excess paint thinners (i.e. methyl ethyl ketone, toluene), waste thinners, excess paints, excess solvents, waste solvents, excess pesticides, and
SECTION 01 57 19.00 08 Page 5 contaminated pesticide equipment rinse water.
1.2.2 Environmental Pollution and Damage
Environmental pollution and damage is the presence of chemical, physical, or biological elements or agents which adversely affect human health or welfare; unfavorably alter ecological balances of importance to human life; affect other species of importance to humankind; or degrade the environment aesthetically, culturally or historically.
1.2.3 Environmental Protection
Environmental protection is the prevention/control of pollution and habitat disruption that may occur to the environment during construction.
The control of environmental pollution and damage requires consideration of land, water, and air; biological and cultural resources; and includes management of visual aesthetics; noise; solid, chemical, gaseous, and liquid waste; radiant energy and radioactive material as well as other pollutants.
1.2.4 Hazardous Debris
As defined in paragraph SOLID WASTE, debris that contains listed hazardous waste (either on the debris surface, or in its interstices, such as pore structure) in accordance with 40 CFR 261 . Hazardous debris also includes debris that exhibits a characteristic of hazardous waste in accordance with 40 CFR 261 .
1.2.5 Hazardous Materials
Hazardous materials as defined in 49 CFR 171 and listed in 49 CFR 172 .
