• 1.2 Required SB 14 Documents A generator who is subject to SB 14 must prepare documents that describe the source reduction program the generator has developed and is implementing.For the reporting year 2002, the following documents must be prepared by September 1, 2003: 1. Source Reduction Evaluation Review and Plan(Plan) 2. Hazardous Waste Management Performance Report(Performance Report) 3. Summary Progress Report(SPR) The generator must send the completed SPR to the DTSC Office of Pollution Prevention and Technology Development(OPPTD)on or before September 1,2003. The generator must retain the Plan, Performance Report, and SPR on-site, and have the documents readily available for on-site review by DTSC,a local agency or the public. The Plan is a forward looking document and must include an estimate of the quantity of hazardous wastes generated,an evaluation of potential source reduction approaches,a timetable for implementing selected source reduction measures,and a four-year numerical goal. The Plan must also address the predicted effectiveness of selected measures at reducing hazardous waste and releases to all environmental media(the air,land and water). A generator who is a small business may choose to complete OPPTD's industry-speck checklists, Waste Audit Studies or Compliance Checklist in place of the Plan. OPPTD developed the Compliance • Checklist as an alternative format of the Plan for smaller businesses that have inadequate technical and financial resources for obtaining information and assessing source reduction methods. The Performance Report is a retrospective document and must include an assessment of the effect on waste generation of each waste management approach implemented since the baseline year, including source reduction, recycling and treatment. The Report can serve as a way for the generator to share with the public all of the positive efforts to improve the management of hazardous waste at the generator's site. The Summary Progress Report summarizes the result of implementing the source reduction measures identified in the generator's previous Plan and the amount of reduction that the generator anticipates will be achieved by the implementation of source reduction selected in the current Plan. 1.3 About the Guidance Manual The Office ofPollution PreventionandTechnologyDevelopment(OPPTD)developed the Guidance Manual to serve asareference forhazardouswaste generators preparing the source reduction documents required by SB 14. The topics presented in the Guidance Manual follow the general order of the SB 14 regulations. The Guidance Manual will help the reader determine if they must comply with SB 14 and, if so, guide them in preparing a Plan,Performance Report, and SPR Each major chapter references the corresponding SB 14 regulation. • 4 > 12
