Emergency Permit for Management of Hazardous Waste, Oxnard College, Oxnard, California

The California Department of Toxic Substances Control has issued an emergency permit to Clean Harbors Environmental Services to chemically stabilize one 3-ounce container of Picric Acid and one 12-ounce container of Potassium stored at Oxnard College in Oxnard, California, to prevent immediate fire or explosion risks due to their shock-sensitive and peroxide-forming properties. This action, authorized under California Code of Regulations Title 22 Division 4.5 Chapter 20 Section 66270.61, is a non-competitive emergency response to an imminent threat to human health and the environment, not a traditional procurement. The stabilization must occur within a controlled exclusion zone at the college’s location on 4000 S. Rose Avenue under the exclusive supervision of designated Clean Harbors technicians using approved chemical treatment methods to render the materials safe for transport. The permit is effective from January 29, 2026, through April 1, 2026, with no option for renewal or extension, and no pricing or financial terms are provided, as it operates under state emergency authority rather than federal contract standards. Following treatment, the stabilized waste must be transported to an authorized hazardous waste facility, and Oxnard College is required to submit a certified final report within ten business days after permit expiration, confirming all residual waste has been properly managed in compliance with Section 66270.11(d). There are no federal acquisition clauses, payment details, invoicing systems, or solicitation numbers involved, and the process relies wholly on state environmental regulations with no formal evaluations, weights, or socioeconomic certifications. Point of contact for oversight is Michelle Snapp, Hazardous Substances Engineer at DTSC, with no designated contracting officer or technical representative identified.
