The California Department of Toxic Substances Control has issued an Emergency Permit to Cepheid for the chemical stabilization of hazardous waste located at their Sunnyvale facility. This action is required because several containers of Tetrahydrofuran, Diethylene Glycol Butyl Ether, Dipropylene Glycol Butyl Ether, Propylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether Acetate, and Acrylonitrile exhibit peroxide formation. DTSC has identified these materials as an imminent and substantial endangerment to human health and the environment due to the risk of fire or explosion if handled improperly. Clean Harbors Environmental Services will perform the treatment within a designated exclusion zone by adding solutions to reduce the reactive and ignitable characteristics of the chemicals before they are transported to an authorized disposal facility. The permit is effective from August 13, 2026, through October 12, 2026. Following the expiration of the permit, Cepheid must submit a final certified report within 10 business days confirming that the treatment area is clear of residual waste and that all materials were managed properly.

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 Cepheid, (EPA ID# CAR000235697) to treat hazardous waste through a controlled reaction with chemical solutions. Specifically, one (1) 500-milliliter (mL) container and one (1) 100 mL container of Tetrahydrofuran; two (2) 1-liter containers of Diethylene Glycol Butyl Ether; one (1) 1-liter container of Dipropylene Glycol Butyl Ether; one (1) 1-liter container of Propylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether Acetate; and one (1) 25-mL container of Acrylonitrile must be stabilized prior to transport to an authorized hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facility. These chemicals are currently being stored at Cepheid located at 904 E. Caribbean Drive, Sunnyvale, California 94089. DTSC has determined as a safety precaution to prevent an accident or severe injury, an Emergency Permit should be issued for to chemically stabilize the hazardous waste by Clean Harbors Environmental Services prior to storage and eventual transportation off-site. Background: The containers have peroxide formation present on either the inside, outside, or the bottom of the chemicals’ containers, as well as the thread container caps. The presence of peroxide formation may be unstable at relatively low concentrations, resulting in fire and/or explosion if improperly handled. Due to the presence of peroxide formation, DTSC considers these chemicals 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 this hazardous waste involves the addition of a solution 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, Cepheid 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 August 13, 2026 and shall expire on October 12, 2026.
