Are MAPEP soil samples a mixed waste?
“MAPEP samples are analytical standards or a “product” generated for the purpose of securing and evaluating analytical services; they are not hazardous waste and they are not samples of hazardous waste… Thus, a laboratory participating in the MAPEP is in the process of establishing it’s eligibility and credentials to do DOE analytical work. It follows, therefore, that the laboratory is the “generator” of the waste resulting when the samples and the resulting residues are to be discarded.
