§ 6-13.821. Hazardous waste reporting requirements for POTWs and users.

(a)

The user must notify the POTW and all appropriate state and federal hazardous waste authorities, in writing, of any discharge into the POTW of a substance, which, if otherwise disposed of, would be a hazardous waste under 40 CFR 261. Such notification must include the name of the hazardous waste, the EPA Hazardous Waste number, and the type of discharge, continuous, batch, or other. If the user discharges more than 100 kilograms of such waste per calendar month to the POTW, the notification must also contain the following information to the extent such information is known and readily available to the user: An identification of the hazardous pollutants contained in the wastes; an estimation of the mass and concentration of such pollutants in the wastestream discharged during that calendar month; and an estimation of the mass of pollutants in the wastestream expected to be discharged during the following twelve (12) months. All notifications must take place within 180 days of the effective date of this chapter. Users who commence discharging after the effective date of this chapter must provide the notification no later than 180 days after the discharge of the listed or characteristic hazardous waste. Any notification under this paragraph need be submitted only once each calendar year for each hazardous waste discharged. However, notifications of changed discharges must be submitted under 40 CFR 403.12(j). The notification requirement in this section does not apply to pollutants already reported under the self-monitoring requirements of 40 CFR 403.12(b), (d), and (e).

(b)

Users are exempt from the requirements of paragraph (a) of this section during a calendar month in which they discharge no more than fifteen (15) kilograms of hazardous wastes, unless the wastes are acute hazardous wastes as specified in 40 CFR 261.30 et seq. and 261.33(e). Discharge of more than fifteen (15) kilograms of non-acute hazardous wastes in a calendar month, or of any quantity of acute hazardous wastes as specified in 40 CFR 261.30 et seq. and 261.33(e), requires a one-time notification prior to discharge.

(c)

In the case of any new regulations under section 3001 of RCRA identifying additional characteristics of hazardous waste or listing any additional substance as a hazardous waste, the user must notify the POTW and all hazardous waste authorities required of the discharge of such substance within ninety (90) days of the effective date of such regulations.

(d)

In the case of any notification made under this section, the user must certify that it has a program in place to reduce the volume and toxicity of hazardous wastes generated to the degree it has determined to be economically practical.
