• Rules. Missouri has incorporated by reference the federal regulations for universal wastes and has added notification requirements for transporters in case of a discharge. Missouri also requires destination facilities that are also treatment, storage, and disposal facilities (TSDFs) to separate their universal waste from their hazardous waste.
