(2) The activities subject to the exemption specified in paragraph (1) include all of the following: (A) Sieving or filtering liquid hazardous waste to remove solid fractions, without added heat, chemicals, or pressure, as the waste is added to or removed from a storage or accumulation tank or container. For purposes of this subparagraph, sieving or filtering does not include adsorption, reverse osmosis, or ultrafiltration. (B) Phase separation of hazardous waste during storage or accumulation in tanks or containers, if the separation is unaided by the addition of heat or chemicals. If the phase separation occurs at a commercial offsite permitted storage facility, all phases of the hazardous waste shall be managed as hazardous waste after separation. (C) Combining two or more waste streams that are not incompatible into a single tank or container if both of the following conditions apply: (i) The waste streams are being combined solely for the purpose of consolidated accumulation or storage or consolidated offsite shipment, and they are not being combined to meet a fuel specification or to otherwise be chemically or physically prepared to be treated, burned for energy value, or incinerated. (ii) The combined waste stream is managed in compliance with the most stringent of the regulatory requirements applicable to each individual waste stream. (D) Evaporation of water from hazardous wastes in tanks or containers, such as breathing and evaporation through vents and floating roofs,without the addition of pressure, chemicals, or heat other than sunlight or ambient room lighting or heating. (3) This subdivision does not apply to any activity for which a hazardous waste facilities permit for treatment is required under the federal act. (c) "Treatment" does not include the combination of glutaraldehyde or orthophthalaldehyde, which is used by medical facilities to disinfect medical devices,with formulations containing glycine as the sole active chemical, if the process is carried out on-site. CORRECTIVE ACTION: Immediately cease treatment of hazardous waste until a permit is issued by the EHD, California Department of Toxics Substances Control or the United States Environmental Protection Agency. Store and dispose of the hazardous waste as specified in Title 22 California Code of Regulations until the treatment permit is obtained. Contact the appropriate regulatory agency to initiate the permit process. Provide a corrective action statement and supporting documentation to the EHD within 30 days. Garrett Backus, Ld.
