now choose to complete the Compliance Checklist as their Source Reduction Evaluation Review and Plan. SB 1726 also requires all generators (those previously captured by SB 14 along with those newly captured i by SB 1726) to prepare a Progress Report. The Progress Report summarizes the results that the generator has achieved in implementing the source reduction measures identified in the generator's Source Reduction Evaluation Review and Plan or Compli nce Checklist. This document stablishes the format of the Compliance Checklist and consists of six sections. Sectio One, "Generator Information," contains basic information about the generator that is completing the Compliance Checklist. Section Two, "Compliance Checklist," help the generator become aware of the benefits of source reduction and to consider source reduction opportunities at the generator's site. The list of source reduction meas res in the Compliance Checklist is by no means a complete listing of all source reductio opportunities. Generators are encouraged to seek and create innovative source reductio ideas that are appropriate for the specific situations at their site. Section Three, "Evaluati g Your Source Reduction Measures," provides suggestions to help generators evalu to potential source reduction measures. Section Four, "Implementation Timetable," documents the time frames a generator will establish for implementing selected source reduction measures. Section Five, "Numerical Goal," is the generator's four-year numerical goal t at estimates the overall reduction of hazardous waste at the generator's site, assuming op imum conditions to achieve feasible source reduction measures. Section Six, "Certificatik" provides the certification language as required by SB 14. For more informallion regarding issues such as additional reporting requirements, confidentiality of linformation and the availability of source redcution documents, please refer to the "Guid nce Manual for the Hazardous Waste Source Reduction and Management Rev�ew Act of 1989." In its findings and(declarations, the Legislature has stated that the intent of SB 14 is to promote the reduu ion of hazardous waste at its source, and wherever source reduction is not feasible or practicable, to encourage recycling. Where it is not feasible to reduce or recycle hazardous waste, the waste should be treated in an environmentally safe manner prior to disposal t minimize the present and future threat to public health and the environment. Source reduction t kes its place at the pinnacle of the Waste Minimization Hierarchy, and is preferred to recy ling and treatment options because it is likely to pose the lowest environmental risk Furthermore, source reduction avoids waste management costs and liability while cont ibuting to a company's overall competitiveness. 2
