MAINTENANCE HAZARDOUS WASTE MANUAL Chapter 3 Page 32 3.03 Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest A. The Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest (manifest) is used by the regulators, generators, (Caltrans), transporter, Treatment Storage Disposal Facility (TSDF), disposer, recycler, etc. to track the movement and disposal of hazardous waste. A manifest must accompany each shipment of waste. B. As the hazardous waste generator, Caltrans must assure the completeness of each manifest. The manifest contains specific information about the waste material and its disposal destination. Although the transporter may fill in the manifest, the generator is responsible and liable if the information is not correct. C. Instructions for the completion of the manifest are included in this manual. (See Appendix C: Hazardous Waste Manifest, Log, and Inspection Forms.) 3.04 Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest File A. The law requires that the generator keep a complete and well-maintained manifest file. The District Hazmat Manager (DHM) will normally keep the original copy of the manifests in the District Office. B. The files shall contain two copies of each manifest: 1. The original or a photocopy that was signed when the waste was shipped. 2. The returned copy from the Treatment Storage Disposal Facility (TSDF). If the confirming copy from the disposal facility is not returned to Caltrans within 30 days, investigation for possible problems to find out what happened is necessary. This can be accomplished by placing a direct call to the TSDF and making standard inquires. C. Hazardous waste shipped off site, utilizing the modified manifest procedure (used for waste oil, solvents, and petroleum products) requires that receipts be kept on file for the purpose of tax payment and to identify waste streams. The DHM will be responsible for maintaining this file at the District Office July 2018
