Winston H. Hickox <br />Agency Secretary <br />Califomia Environmental <br />Protection Agency <br />Department of Toxic SUbstanceS Control <br />Edwin F. Lowry, Director <br />400 P Street, 4th Floor, P.O. Box 806 <br />Sacramento, Califomia 95812-0806 <br />TO: Hazardous Waste Handlers <br />FROM: James G. Bohon, Chief <br />Generator Information Services Section <br />DATE: April 6, 2000 <br />SUBJECT: INSTRUCTIONS FOR SENDING MANIFEST CORRECTION LETTERS <br />.t'►� <br />Gray Davis <br />Governor <br />The Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) is preparing to exercise its authority to <br />return incorrect, incomplete or improperly completed Uniform Hazardous Waste Manffests for <br />correction and charge the statutorily provided fee of twenty dollars per manifest needing <br />correction (Califomia Health and Safety Code, Section 25160.5). This effort is expected to <br />commence on July 1, 2000. In the meanwhile, incorrect, incomplete or improperly completed <br />manifests must still be corrected to ensure that DTSC has accurate records of your <br />organization's hazardous waste activity. Incorrect records can cause environmental fees to <br />be improperly assessed, liability to be applied incorrectly, or unnecessary forms to be sent to <br />your organization. <br />DTSC's primary method of receiving corrected manifest information is through Manifest <br />Correction Letters (MCLs). Many hazardous waste handlers already have a policy of <br />voluntarily submitting an MCL when they discover errors. While DTSC appreciates these <br />conscientious efforts, the letters received are not in any uniform format and make processing <br />difficult. In order to streamline all levels of effort, DTSC requests that future MCLS follow the <br />format outlined on the reverse page. <br />DTSC thanks you in advance for your efforts in helping maintain accurate hazardous waste <br />data. Should you have any questions or need further assistance, please feel free to contact <br />the Generator Information Services Section's Telephone Information Center at <br />(800) 618-6942 or, for callers outside of Califomia, (916) 324-1781. <br />® Printed on Recycled Paper <br />
