Environmental and Hazardous Materials Management Services

The Environmental and Hazardous Materials Management Services Program assists and guides campus departments in environmental compliance issues and acts as a liaison between campus departments and environmental regulatory agencies to ensure compliance with local, state and federal laws and regulations.

  • Sampling, inspecting, oversight and disposal of hazardous materials to include hazardous building materials, spills and hazardous waste;
  • Oversight of environmentally-related equipment such as storage tanks, generators, and central heating plant equipment;
  • Providing environmental health and safety training, consultation and support to the campus community on areas related to laboratories, demolition, construction, sustainability efforts, equipment, and maintenance;
  • Updating technical expertise, maintaining appropriate credentials, and keeping current with local, state, and federal regulation to ensure the campus community is provided with the most current safety and regulatory information, strategies for management, and ability to mitigate risk;
