Hazardous Waste Compliance Section
The Hazardous Waste Compliance Section (HWCS) is responsible, in part,
for administering the State’s hazardous waste management program, comprised
of a hazardous waste program and a used oil program. The primary function
of the HWCS is compliance assurance, which is achieved through a three-tiered
approach: education/ outreach, compliance assistance, and compliance monitoring.
Outreach to the regulated community is provided through workshops and
conferences. Compliance assistance is provided by responding to requests
for clarification by way of the HWCS Telephone Hotlines, and written regulatory
interpretations. Compliance monitoring takes place when business
and government entities are inspected to assess compliance
with hazardous waste and used oil regulations. The HWCS is divided into
four subsections: RCRA Compliance, Authorization, Permitting, and Used
Oil.
A Hazardous Waste Assistance Hotline is available for the regulated community and the public to contact HWCS to ask questions concerning the New Hampshire Hazardous Waste Rules and compliance issues which affect hazardous waste management programs. The Hotline is available Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM toll free at (866) HAZWAST (in-state only) or at (603) 271-2942.
The DES Used Oil Hotline at 1-888-TAKEOIL (825-3645) may be contacted
to obtain the location of the used oil collection center nearest you.
