Our mission is to provide the highest level of safety, and to protect public health and the environment from toxic harm. <br />• Provide personnel training to personnel who manage universal waste, or who supervise <br />personnel who manage universal waste and keep training records <br />• Respond to releases of universal waste or its contents; determine if spill residuals are <br />hazardous waste <br />• Track shipments by keeping records of what was received and shipped (name, address, <br />quantities) for three years <br />Universal Waste Transporters <br />A universal waste transporter is a person engaged in the offsite transportation of universal waste <br />by air, rail, highway or water. A universal waste transporter may be: <br />1. Universal waste handler carrying universal waste in his or her own vehicle <br />2. A package shipping service (e.g., US Postal Service; FedEx, UPS) <br />3. A commercial carrier (e.g., a trucking company, a hauler specializing in universal waste, <br />or the operator of a destination facility that offers a universal waste pick-up service) <br />➢ If you do not own or operate a facility that accepts, generates, accumulates, or stores <br />universal waste, but you pick up and transport universal waste (e.g., electronic <br />devices from office complexes) to a recycling or collection facility, you are a <br />universal waste transporter. Universal waste transporters do not need to notify DTSC <br />or submit annual reports for their transportation activities. <br />➢ Universal waste transporters may store universal waste at a transfer facility for up to <br />10 days (depending on local zoning). A universal waste transporter who exceeds this <br />limit is considered a universal waste handler and is subject to the handler <br />requirements summarized above. <br />Destination Facilities <br />A destination facility is a fully -regulated hazardous waste facility that treats, disposes of, or <br />recycles a specific type of universal waste. Examples of destination facilities are hazardous waste <br />recycling facilities and hazardous waste landfills. A destination facility shall manage the <br />universal waste in accordance with the requirements and conditions in its hazardous waste <br />facility permit, unless authorized by section 66273.60 of title 22 of the California Code of <br />Regulations to manage it pursuant to the reduced requirements applicable to universal waste <br />handlers. A destination facility is required to follow certain rules for shipping universal wastes <br />off-site and for rejecting shipments that contain universal waste and is required to keep records <br />of all shipments received for three years. A facility that only accepts and accumulates universal <br />waste is not a destination facility. Such a facility is regulated as a universal waste handler. <br />�r___ � �. <br />L L� 1". <br />SEP 0 8 2015 <br />STATE OF CALIFORNIAENVIRONMENTP <br />F4r--S'"r'.J^���7TgACgIT <br />
