Mr. Randy Sawyer <br /> June 30, 2008 <br /> Page 2 <br /> DTSC would also like to clarify that complaints regarding offsite collectors or recyclers <br /> of electronic waste, regardless of whether they are participating in the SB 20/50 <br /> program, are DTSC's responsibility to investigate. CUPAs should respond to <br /> complaints against universal waste generators, including those who generate (but do <br /> not receive offsite) electronic waste. CUPAs who receive a complaint regarding an <br /> offsite collector or recycler of electronic waste should refer the complaint to DTSC using <br /> the Cal/EPA Environmental Complaint Form at <br /> http://www.dtsc.ca.gov/database/CalEPA Complaintlindex.cfm or by referring the <br /> complainant directly to the Form. <br /> The table below summarizes which agency has the primary responsibility for <br /> implementing the hazardous waste program for universal waste in a variety of <br /> situations. <br /> Agency with Primary <br /> Scenario Res sibility <br /> DTSC CUPA <br /> Generators of universal waste, who do not accept <br /> universal waste (including electronic waste) from X <br /> offsite sources: <br /> Retailers participating in a "take-back" program: X <br /> acce tin universal wastes when selling products) <br /> Universal wastes managed by a maintenance <br /> contractor (for instance, a relamping contractor) -- <br /> At the generation site: X <br /> At the contractor's site: X <br /> Destination facility— a rec cler or disposal facility: X <br /> Dismantlers of universal waste other than electronic X <br /> waste: (for instance, scrap yards removing mercury <br /> switches from vehicles and appliances or mercury <br /> lamps from discarded fixtures <br /> Electronic waste collectors (e.g., offsite collectors) or X <br /> recyclers, regardless of participation in the SB 20/SB <br /> 50 program: <br /> Repair personnel generating universal waste: (for X. <br /> instance, TV repair) <br />
