originator's files for one week.
After one week, the manifests, land disposal forms, and lab pack slips will be then forwarded to
the Chemical Hygiene Officer x2736 for long term storage. The Chemical Hygiene Officer will be
responsible for ensuring that the TSD returns the page 3 to the files and obtain the certificates of
Disposal when they are available but within one (1) year. The records will be stored in such a manner
that water or fire damage to the storage site, will not destroy the records.
