MMPacific Gas and <br />, &I Electric Company.. <br />WE DELIVER ENERGY.' <br />March 23, 2011 <br />Department of Toxic Substances Control <br />Program Data Management Section <br />Consolidation Site Annual Notification <br />1001 1 Street <br />Sacramento, CA 95812-0806 <br />Re: Pacific Gas & Electric Company's <br />2011 Remote Waste/Consolidation Site Annual Notification <br />Ladies and Gentlemen: <br />JIJL 0 7 2011 <br />Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E) is submitting this annual notification to operate <br />under the Health & Safety Code provisions allowing small quantities of hazardous waste to be <br />transported without a uniform hazardous waste manifest from a remote location to a <br />consolidation site. These remote sites are located within PG&E's operational territory, which <br />includes most of northern and central California and parts of southeastern California. <br />Attached are tables which list PG&E's consolidation facilities, including addresses and EPA <br />identification numbers (Tables 1-3). Table 4 provides a general description of PG&E's <br />remote sites. For some of these remote sites, PG&E previously obtained and will maintain <br />the EPA identification numbers to properly handle occasional maintenance projects that <br />generate large quantities of waste. Table 5 lists the typical hazardous wastes that may be <br />generated at the remote sites. <br />In order to demonstrate eligibility for generator consolidation of remotely collected wastes, <br />generators are required to provide the basis for determining that a hazardous waste permit is <br />not required under the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and the <br />federal regulations adopted under RCRA (Title 40, Code of Federal Regulations). The <br />following best describe the operation of PG&E's onsite 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 and <br />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 />
