Waste Management
Expertise in South Dakota

Are you following the rules for hazardous waste management? It is the responsibility of every healthcare or industrial waste generator in South Dakota to know the difference between non-hazardous and hazardous waste.

South Dakota defines medical/infectious waste in broad terms that imply any waste created through the diagnosis, treatment, and immunization of humans or animals, including related research. While infectious waste is primarily generated in medical facilities, such waste might also contains hazardous waste, which requires special handling.

Know the rules

South Dakota’s Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources (SDDANR) regulates waste management processes in the state. The hazardous waste section oversees treatment, storage, transport, and disposal of such waste.

Refer to South Dakota’s Codified Law 34A-11 for the state’s Hazardous Waste Management Act.

Additional hazardous waste regulations are found in the administrative rules of the state under ARSD Chapter 74:20. South Dakota has adopted the federal CFR Title 40 Parts 260 through 279 as a primary guiding legislation for hazardous waste management.

Part 260 covers the rules of the EPA and contains valuable information for hazardous waste generators, such as determining waste classification.

Part 261 offers guidance on Identification of Hazardous Waste.

Part 262 provides information regarding Standards Applicable to Generators.

Part 272 provides guidance for Approved State Hazardous Waste Management Programs.

Part 276 covers recordkeeping and reporting.

The key is to know these rules and the rules of the state.

Regulations for hazardous waste pharmaceuticals are found in AR 74:28:27:01, enforced by South Dakota’s DANR’s Natural Resources Hazardous Waste Program.

South Dakota’s e-Manifest tracking system

South Dakota electronically tracks hazardous waste shipments and provides oversight for accessing the system and licensing rules for hazardous waste generators.

Know your hazardous waste generator status. Small quantity generators (SQG) of hazardous waste are required to notify the state of any change in generator status to either a very small quantity generator (VSQG) or a large quantity generator (LQG). You can use EPA Form 8700-12 for notification.

South Dakota adopted the Pharmaceutical Waste and P075 Listing amendment in 2019, banning disposal of hazardous waste pharmaceuticals in sewers, pouring down drains, or by flushing. Healthcare facilities throughout the state should refer to the Guide for South Dakota Healthcare Facilities in regard to pharmaceutical waste management processes.

Don’t go it alone. MCF Environmental Services provides decades of experience in compliant storage, transportation, and disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous waste streams for medical and industrial facilities. Rely on the experts for safe hazardous waste disposal processes in South Dakota.
