§ 34-217. Hazardous waste notification.

(a)

Any nondomestic user, except as specified in subsection (e) of this section, which discharges to the POTW any substance which, if otherwise disposed of, would be a listed or characteristic hazardous waste under 40 CFR 261, shall notify the control authority in writing of such discharge.

(b)

All hazardous waste notifications shall include:

(1)

The name of the hazardous waste as set forth in 40 CFR 261;

(2)

The EPA hazardous waste number;

(3)

The type of discharge (continuous, batch or other); and

(4)

A certification that the user 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.

(c)

In addition to the information required to be submitted in subsection (b) of this section, nondomestic users discharging more than 100 kg of hazardous waste per calendar month to the POTW shall contain, to the extent such information is known and readily available to the nondomestic user:

(1)

An identification of the hazardous constituents contained in the waste;

(2)

An estimation of the mass and concentration of such constituents in the wastestream discharged during that calendar month; and

(3)

An estimation of the mass of constituents in the wastestream expected to be discharged during the following 12 months.

(d)

Hazardous waste notifications shall be submitted no later than February 19, 1991, except that industrial users commencing the discharge of listed or characteristic hazardous wastes after August 23, 1990, shall provide the notification no later than 180 days from the discharge of the wastes. Any notification under this subsection need be submitted only once for each hazardous waste discharged, although notifications of changed discharges must also be submitted under section 34-154(b).

(e)

Nondomestic users are exempt from the hazardous waste notification requirement during a calendar month in which they discharge 15 kg or less of nonacute hazardous wastes. Discharge of any quantity of acute hazardous waste as specified in 40 CFR 261.30(d) and 261.33(e) requires a one-time notification.
