AI Contract Overview

The California Department of Toxic Substances Control has issued an Emergency Permit to Augusta Life Sciences, located in Milpitas, California, for the chemical stabilization of one 25-milliliter container of 10% Sodium Azide Solution. This action is necessitated by the shock and temperature sensitivity of the chemical, which poses an imminent and substantial endangerment to human health and the environment due to the potential for fire, deflagration, or detonation. The permit is effective from July 15, 2026, through September 15, 2026, and is issued under the authority of California Code of Regulations Title 22, Division 4.5, Chapter 20, Section 66270.61. The scope of work involves the controlled addition of solutions to the hazardous waste to reduce its reactive and ignitable characteristics. These activities must be performed within a designated exclusion zone, with access restricted exclusively to technicians from Clean Harbors Environmental Services. Following the stabilization process, the waste will be transported to an authorized treatment, storage, and disposal facility. Within 10 business days of the permit's expiration, Augusta Life Sciences is required to submit a final certified report in accordance with Title 22, CCR Section 66270.11(d), confirming that the treatment area is clear of residual waste and that all generated materials have been properly managed.

Full Description

The California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC), pursuant to authority granted under California Code of Regulations (CCR), Title 22, Division 4.5, Chapter 20, Sec. 66270.61, has issued an Emergency Permit to the Augusta Life Sciences (EPA ID# CAR000361451) to treat hazardous waste through a controlled reaction with chemical solutions. Specifically, one (1) 25-mililiter container of 10% Sodium Azide Solution must be stabilized prior to transport to an authorized hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facility. This chemical is currently being stored at Augusta Life Sciences located at 155 North McCarthy Boulevard, Milpitas, CA 95035. DTSC has determined as a safety precaution to prevent an accident or severe injury, an Emergency Permit should be issued to chemically stabilize the hazardous waste prior to storage and eventual transportation off-site by Clean Harbors Environmental Services. Background: The container has a shock sensitive chemical. Shock and/or temperature sensitive materials can decompose or detonate with external energy when dry or concentrated. If the material is improperly handled, there is a potential for a reaction, which includes fire, deflagration, or detonation. Due to the presence of shock sensitive chemical, DTSC considers this chemical to be an imminent and substantial endangerment to human health and the environment. Chemical stabilization is recommended prior to transport to a permitted treatment, storage, and disposal facility. Project Activities: The treatment of these hazardous wastes involves the addition of solutions to the containers in a controlled manner to reduce the reactive or ignitable characteristics of the chemical. Treatment will take place within a designated exclusion zone. Only technicians from Clean Harbors Environmental Services will be allowed in the exclusion zone. Movement, preparation, and treatment of the containers will be in accordance with established standards. Within 10 business days of the expiration of this permit, Augusta Life Sciences will submit a final report, signed in accordance with Title 22, CCR Sec. 66270.11(d). The report shall include certification that the treatment area has been cleared of all residual hazardous waste generated from this emergency treatment and all generated waste has been properly managed. The Emergency Permit is effective beginning July 15, 2026 and shall expire on September 15, 2026.
