<br /> Chemical Description pages (CES Form 2731) for all submissions. (Note: the numbering of the instructions follows the data element numbers that are
<br /> on the UPCF pages. These data element numbers are used for electronic submission and are the same as the numbering used in 27 CCR,Appendix C,the Business
<br /> Section of the Unified Program Data Dictionary.) Please number all pages of your submittal. This helps your CUPA or AA identify whether the submittal is complete and if
<br /> any pages are separated.

<br /> It is handled in quantities equal to or greater than 500 pounds,55 gallons,or 200 cubic feet of gas (calculated at standard temperature and pressure),
<br /> It is handled in quantities equal to or greater than the applicable federal threshold planning quantity for an extremely hazardous substance listed in 40 CFR Part

<br /> substances as defined in Health and Safety Code (HSC)25316. If EYESfE,then you must complete one UST Facility page and UST Tank pages for each tank.
<br /> You must also submit a plot plan and a monitoring program plan.
<br /> 6. UPGRADE/INSTALL UST - Check the appropriate box to indicate whether you intend to install or upgrade USTs containing hazardous substances as defined in HSC

<br /> additional information.)
<br /> 8. OWN OR OPERATE ABOVEGROUND PETROLEUM STORAGE TANK(AST) - Check the appropriate box to indicate whether there are ASTs onsite which exceed the
<br /> regulatory thresholds. (There is no UPCF page for ASTs) This program applies to all facilities storing petroleum in aboveground tanks. Petroleum means crude
<br /> oil,or any fraction thereof,which is liquid at 60 degrees Fahrenheit temperature and 14.7 pounds per square inch absolute pressure (HSC,25270.2(g)). The
<br /> facility must have a single tank greater than 660 gallons,or cumulative storage capacity greater than 1,320 gallons for all ASTs. NOT Subject to the Act
<br /> (exemptions):
<br /> An aboveground petroleum storage tank(AST)facility with one or more of the following(see HSC 25270.2(k))is not subject to this act and is exempt:
<br /> A pressure vessel or boiler which is subject to Division 5 of the Labor Code,
<br /> A storage tank containing hazardous waste if a hazardous waste facility permit has been issued for the storage tank by DTSC,
<br /> An aboveground oil production tank which is regulated by the Division of Oil and Gas,
<br /> Certain oil-filled electrical equipment including but riot limited to transformers,circuit breakers,or capacitors.
<br /> 9. HAZARDOUS WASTE GENERATOR - Check the appropriate box to indicate whether your facility generates hazardous waste. A generator is the person or business
<br /> whose acts or processes produce a hazardous waste or who causes a hazardous substance or waste to become subject to State hazardous waste law. If your
<br /> facility generates hazardous waste,you must obtain and use an EPA Identification number (ID)in order to properly transport and dispose of it. Report your EPA
<br /> ID number in #2. Hazardous waste means a waste that meets any of the criteria for the identification of a hazardous waste adopted by DTSC pursuant to HSC
<br /> 25141. "Hazardous waste" includes,but is not limited to,federally regulated hazardous waste- Federal hazardous waste law is known as the Resource
<br /> Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). Unless explicitly stated otherwise,the term "hazardous waste" also includes extremely hazardous waste and acutely
<br /> hazardous waste.
<br /> 10.RECYCLE - Check the appropriate box to indicate whether your facility recycles more than 100 kilograms per month of recyclable material under a claim that the
<br /> material is excluded or exempt per HSC.25143.2. Check DYESE and complete the Recyclable Materials Report pages,if you either recycled onsite or recycled
<br /> excluded recyclable materials which were generated offsite. Check )NO-- if you only send recyclable materials to an offsite recycler. You do not need to
<br /> report.
<br /> 11.ONSITE HAZARDOUS WASTE TREATMENT - Check the appropriate box to indicate whether your facility engages in onsite treatment of hazardous waste. "Treatment'
<br /> means any method,technique,or process which is designed to change the physical,chemical,or biological character or composition of any hazardous waste or
<br /> any material contained therein,or removes or reduces its harmful properties or characteristics for any purpose. 'Treatment'does not include the removal of
<br /> residues from manufacturing process equipment for the purposes of cleaning that equipment. Amendments (effective 1/1/99) add exemptions from the definition
<br /> of"treatment'for certain processes under specific,limited conditions. Refer to HSC 25123.5(b)for these specific exemptions. Treatment of certain laboratory
<br /> hazardous wastes do not require authorization. Refer to HSC 25200.3.1 for specific information. Please contact your CUPA to determine if any exemptions apply
<br /> to your facility. If your facility engages in onsite treatment of hazardous waste then complete the Onsite Hazardous Waste Treatment Notification-Facility page
<br /> and one set of Onsite Hazardous Waste Treatment Notification-Unit pages with waste and treatment process information for each unit.
<br /> 12.FINANCIAL ASSURANCE - Check the appropriate box to indicate whether your facility is subject to financial assurance requirements for closure of an onsite treatment
<br /> unit. Unless they are exempt, Permit by Rule (PBR) and Conditionally Authorized (CA) operations are required to provide financial assurance for closure costs
<br /> (per 22 CCR.67450.13(b) and HSC.25245.4). If your facility is subject to financial assurance requirements or claiming an exemption,then complete the
<br /> Certification of Financial Assurance page.
<br /> 13.REMOTE WASTE CONSOLIDATION SITE - Check the appropriate box to indicate whether your facility consolidates hazardous waste generated at a remote site.
<br /> Answer -YES E if you are a hazardous waste generator that collects hazardous waste initially at remote sites and subsequently transports the hazardous waste
<br /> to a consolidation site you also operate. You must be eligible pursuant to the conditions in HSC.25110.10. If your facility consolidates hazardous waste
<br /> generated at a remote site,then complete the Remote Waste Consolidation Site Annual Notification page.
<br /> 14.HAZARDOUS WASTE TANK CLOSURE - Check the appropriate box to indicate whether the tank being closed would be classified as hazardous waste after its contents
<br /> are removed. Classification could be based on:
<br /> Your knowledge of the tank and its contents The mixture rule
<br /> Testing of the tank The listed wastes in 40 CFR 261.31 or 40 CFR 261.32.
<br /> Inability to remove hazardous materials stored in the tank.
<br /> If the tank being closed would be classified as hazardous waste after its contents are removed,then you must complete the Hazardous Waste Tank Closure
<br /> Certification page.
<br /> 15.LOCAL REQUIREMENTS - Some CUPAs or AAs may require additional information. Check with your CUPA before submitting the UPCF to determine if any
