0 0 <br /> The SummaryProgress <br /> 1.o Background <br /> The Hazardous Waste Source Reduction and Management Review Act of 1989,also <br /> known as SB 14,requires hazardous waste generators to consider source reduction <br /> as the preferred method of managing hazardous waste. SB 14 promotes source <br /> reduction over recycling, treatment, and disposal. Source reduction avoids the <br /> generation of hazardous wastes,as well as its associated management liabilities and <br /> adverse impacts to public health and the environment. <br /> The Guidance Manual for Complying with the Hazardous Waste Source Reduction <br /> and Management Review Act of 1989(2002 edition)explains SB 14 requirements for <br /> generators and is referenced throughout this document. Generators are strongly <br /> encouraged to obtain a copy ofthe Guidance Manual to determine if they are captured <br /> by SB 14 and to ensure that they satisfy all of the requirements. The Summary <br /> Progress Report is one of the documents required by SB 14. <br /> SB 14 applies to generators that, by site, routinely generate through ongoing <br /> processes and operations, more than 12,000 kilograms of hazardous waste or 12 <br /> kilograms of extremely hazardous waste in a reporting year. Chapter 2 of the <br /> Guidance Manual explains the process of determining if a facility is captured under <br /> SB 14, defines terminology specific to SB 14, and lists waste streams that are <br /> exempted or otherwise excluded from SB 14 requirements. The current SB 14 <br /> reporting year is calendar year 2002. <br /> z.o SB 14. Reporting Requirements <br /> Generators who are subject to SB 14 in reporting year 2002 are required to satisfy SB <br /> 14 reporting requirements by September 1,2003.Generators subject to SB 14 must <br /> conduct a source reduction evaluation at their facility and prepare the three following <br /> documents: <br /> • Source Reduction Evaluation Review and Plan(Plan)as described in <br /> Chapter 5 of the Guidance Manual; <br /> • Hazardous Waste Management Performance Report(Performance Report) <br /> as described in Chapter 6 of the Guidance Manual; and <br /> • Summary Progress Report(SPR) as described herein. <br /> As explained in Chapter ofthe Guidance Manual,facilities that are subject to SB <br /> 14 and meet the definition of a small business(California Government Code Section <br /> 11324)have the option to complete a Compliance Checklist in place of the Plan. In <br /> place of the Performance Report,a small business can use their most recent biennial <br /> generator report (BGR), as required by California Code of Regulations Section <br /> 66261.41 <br />
