The Statute on Hazardous Substances, Materials and Waste (“SHSMW”), on its part, defines “waste” as a material, substance, solution, mix or object for which an immediate destiny is not determined and which must be permanently eliminated or disposed of. The SHSMW further defines “hazardous waste” as simple or compound material, in a solid, liquid or gaseous state, which has hazardous substances in it, whether or not it conserves its physical, chemical or biological properties, for which no use is found and for which therefore a final disposal method must be implemented. The term is broad enough to include vessels that have transported hazardous materials.
