Generators conducting treatment under CESW must comply with hazardous waste generator standards. Many of the general requirements that apply to generators may be found in 22 CCR in Chapter 12, beginning with §66262.10. These requirements include: General • determining whether or not a waste is hazardous (§66262.11), • obtaining an identification number (§66262.12), • keeping records of items such as manifests, reports, tests & analyses (§66262.40), • submitting reports such as the biennial report & exception reports (§66262.41 through §66262.43), • obtaining necessary permits or authorization and complying with applicable requirements for treatment, storage and disposal activities (§66262.10), • complying with requirements for waste pesticides and pesticide containers generated by farmers (§66262.70), and • complying with land disposal restrictions by ensuring that all waste that is land disposed meet applicable treatment standards (Chapter 18). Accumulation When a generator accumulates and stores hazardous waste at the site of generation, and subsequently ships the waste off-site for recycling, treatment or disposal, certain requirements apply. These requirements include: • complying with accumulation times and procedures (§66262.34) • using appropriate containers and storing them properly (§66265.170 through §66265.177) • complying with applicable requirements for tank systems (§66265.190 through §66265.199, except §66265.197(c)) • using only a registered hazardous waste transporter(§66263.10) • using a manifest for hazardous waste shipments (§66262.20 through §66262.23) • properly packaging, labeling, marking and placarding hazardous waste shipments (§66262.30 through §66262.33) • complying with special requirements for international shipments (§66262.50 through §66262.60) • completing a land disposal restrictions notification statement (§66268.7). Planning Generators that accumulate hazardous wastes must also comply with requirements that both prevent foreseeable accidents and assist in preparation for emergencies. These requirements include: • properly designing and operating the facility (§66265.30 through §66265.37), • administering an employee training program (§66262.34(a)(4) and §66265.16), • preparing a contingency plan outlining procedures for emergencies (§66265.50 through §66265.56). Por tions of the hazardous material business plan may serve to fulfill the requirements of the contingency plan (and/or vice versa). The business plan is required by the California Health and Safety Code, Division 20, Chapter 6.95. Source reduction plans and reports are required by the California Health and Safety Code (HSC), beginning with §25244.12 for companies generating greater than 12,000 kg of hazardous waste per year. Generator Fees Payment of applicable fees, which, depend upon: • the amount of waste generated, • the size of the generator and • the type of activities undertaken, which may include, but are not limited to, disposal fees (HSC §25174.1 to §25174.6), generator fees (HSC§25205.5),waste reporting surcharge(HSC§25205.9), environmental fees (HSC §25205.6), and manifest fee (HSC §25160.5).
