Box 806 <br />Sacramento, CA 95812-0806 <br />Re: Pacific Gas & Electric Company's 2007 Remote Waste / <br />Consolidation Site Annual Notification. <br />Ladies and Gentlemen: <br />US Mail.. <br />Mail Code B24A <br />P. 0. Box 770000 <br />San Francisca, CA 94120 <br />Overnight Mail.- <br />77 Beale Street, B24A <br />San Francisco, CA 94105 <br />415.973.7000 <br />Fax: 415.973.9201 <br />APR 0 2 2007 <br />SAN ,IOAQUIN COUNTY <br />ENVIP -`" ,"IVTAL HEALTH DEPT. <br />Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E) is submitting this annual notification to <br />operate under the Health & Safety Code provisions allowing small quantities of <br />hazardous waste to be transported without a uniform hazardous waste manifest from a <br />remote location to a consolidation site. These remote sites are located within PG&E's <br />operational territory, which includes most of northern and central California and parts <br />of southeastern California. <br />Attached are tables which list PG&E's consolidation facilities, including addresses and <br />EPA identification numbers (Tables 1-3). Table 4 provides a general description of <br />PG&E's remote sites. For some of these remote sites, PG&E previously obtained and <br />will maintain the EPA identification numbers to properly handle occasional <br />maintenance projects that generate large quantities of waste. Table 5 lists the typical <br />hazardous wastes that may be generated at the remote sites. <br />In order to demonstrate eligibility for generator consolidation of remotely collected <br />wastes, generators are required to provide the basis for determining that a hazardous <br />waste permit is not required under the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act <br />(RCRA) and the federal regulations adopted under RCRA (Title 40, Code of Federal <br />Regulations). The following best describe the operation of PG&E's onsite <br />consolidation sites: <br />• The hazardous wastes being consolidated are not hazardous waste under federal law <br />although the wastes are regulated as hazardous waste under California state law. <br />• The hazardous wastes are hazardous waste under federal law, but transportation to <br />and accumulation at the consolidation site of the wastes is not subject to permitting <br />requirements under federal law because RCRA does not subject these wastes to <br />permitting requirements. <br />
