Emergency Permit for Management of Hazardous Waste, Air Liquide U.S. LP (Balazas Labs), Fremont, California

The California Department of Toxic Substances Control has issued an emergency permit to Air Liquide U.S. LP (Balazas Labs) at 46409 Landing Parkway in Fremont, California, authorizing the chemical stabilization of two containers of hazardous waste—specifically one 4-liter and one 1-liter container of Tetrahydrofuran—due to the risk of peroxide formation that could lead to fire or explosion. This action is taken under authority granted by California Code of Regulations Title 22, Division 4.5, Chapter 20, Section 66270.61, as a safety precaution to prevent imminent harm before transport to an authorized treatment, storage, and disposal facility. The permit is effective from September 23, 2025, to November 22, 2025, and requires that stabilization work be performed exclusively by Clean Harbors technicians within a designated exclusion zone, with all operations adhering to state hazardous waste handling standards. The containers must be labeled with the chemical identity and the facility’s EPA ID number CAR000378693, and only chemical compatibility is specified for storage and transport, with no additional packaging, marking, or barcoding requirements beyond these basic identifiers. Final acceptance of the work hinges on the submission of a certified report within ten business days after the permit’s expiration, documenting site clearance and compliance with all applicable regulations under Section 66270.11(d) of the same code. The report must be delivered to DTSC’s Permitting Division at 8800 Cal Center Drive in Sacramento. The permit operates as a regulatory exception exempted under the Public Resources Code and the California Code of Regulations, and no financial or procurement elements such as cost estimates, pricing, invoicing, payment details, or federal FAR clauses are applicable or included, as this is a state-level environmental emergency authorization, not a federal procurement contract. Oversight is managed by Michelle Snapp, Hazardous Substances Engineer at DTSC, serving as the primary point of contact and approval authority, with no formal contracting officer, COR/COTR, or socioeconomic certifications identified. No formal attachments, barcoding, MIL-STD, or electronic submission protocols are specified, and all requirements are governed strictly by California regulatory framework for hazardous waste emergency response.
