Manifest discrepancies. Upon discovering a significant discrepancy between the quantity or type of hazardous waste designated on the manifest and the quantity or type of hazardous waste a facility actually receives, the owner or operator shall attempt to reconcile the discrepancy with the waste generator or transporter (e.g. , with telephone conversations) . Significant discrepancies in quantity are: (1 ) for bulk waste, variations greater than 10 percent in weight, and (2) for batch waste, any variation in piece count, such as a aiscrepancy OT one drum in a truckload. Significant discrepancies in type are obvious differences which can be discovered by inspection or waste analysis such as waste solvent substituted for waste acid, or toxic constit- uents not reported on the manifest. If the facility can accept the waste after its actual identity is revealed, the owner or operator may accept the waste. If the facility cannot accept the waste, the owner or operator shall immediately notify the California State Department of Health Services of that fact, identify the transporter and generator of the waste, and refuse to accept the waste, If the owner or operator can accept the waste, he shall note, on the copy of the manifest which he submits to the California State Department of Health Services and on the copy which he retains , how the discrepancy was resolved. If the discrepancy is not resolved within 15 days after receiving the waste, the owner or operator shall immediately submit to the California State Depart- ment of Health Services a letter describing the discrepancy and attempts to reconcile it, and a copy of the manifest at issue.
