For the purposes of this IGA, the "Town of Erie" refers to the entire Town of Erie, and is not limited to the portions of the Town of Erie that are located in Boulder County. B. CESQG BUSINESS WASTES are hazardous wastes generated by businesses that meet the definition of "Conditionally- Exempt Small Quantity Generators" as defined by State of Colorado Hazardous Waste Regulations, 6CCR- 1007 -3. Colorado regulations are congruent with Federal Regulations with respect to CESQG status. CESQG businesses generate hazardous waste in amounts below state and federal regulatory thresholds. As of the date of this Agreement, these thresholds are: 1. A monthly hazardous waste generation rate of less than 1 kilogram (approximately 1 quart) of acutely hazardous waste 2. A monthly hazardous waste generation rate of less than 100 kilograms or 220 lbs of hazardous wastes (approximately '/z of a 55 gallon drum or about 27 gallons) 3. A maximum accumulation of less than 1 kilogram hazardous waste (approximately 1 quart) of acutely hazardous waste 4. A maximum accumulation of less than 1000 kilograms or 2,200 pounds of hazardous waste (approximately 5, 55 gallon drums) C.

D. HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTES are solid and liquid wastes, discarded from homes or similar sources (including single and multiple residences) that are best described by lists of hazardous wastes in federal or state regulations. Household hazardous wastes may also exhibit the characteristics of toxicity, ignitability, corrosivity or reactivity as described in those rules. Household hazardous wastes are not currently regulated by either the federal or state government. Products that may be considered household hazardous wastes include many pesticides and herbicides; drain openers; oven cleaners; paint thinners, strippers and removers; adhesives; wood preservatives; automotive and fuel additives; grease and rust solvents; refrigerants; carburetor cleaners; and other products. Although waste paint and motor oil are not usually considered hazardous wastes under current federal or state regulations, they are included as household hazardous wastes for purposes of the HMM Program because of their ubiquity in the waste stream and the toxicity of some of their constituents.
