1996 TIERED PERMITTING UPDATE <br /> New legislation changed generator and onsite treatment tier requirements, which are <br /> summarized below. In response, DTSC has revised the Onsite Treatment Notification Form <br /> (DTSC 1772) and is updating past factsheets for each of the onsite tiers, which should be <br /> available in March 1996. The factsheet text will also be available on the Cal/EPA Bulletin <br /> Board. Copies of the form and factsheets can be ordered by calling your Regional Office <br /> (see attached map). New documents will not be automatically mailed to onsite notifrers. <br /> Generators: There were three legislative changes to hazardous waste generator standards: <br /> Senate Bill (SB) 1135 eliminated some of the permit requirements for storing large volumes <br /> of liquid hazardous waste and increased generator accumulation time for generators of less <br /> than 1,000 kg/month under certain circumstances. Assembly Bill (AB) 1060 allowed <br /> generators to hold non-RCRA contaminated soils from site cleanup projects in waste piles <br /> without obtaining a hazardous waste facility permit. <br /> TANK REGULATORY RELIEF: Emergency regulations, adopted on June 19, 1995, <br /> provided significant relief for operators using tanks. The rulemaking delays tank secondary <br /> containment dates for many generators and onsite treaters with non-RCRA regulated waste <br /> and federally exempt treatment activities. Integrity testing was delayed until January 1, 1997 <br /> and installation of full secondary containment was delayed until January 1, 1998. <br /> Onsite Treatment Facilities: <br /> ELIGIBILITY CHANGES: AB 483 added a new category within the Conditionally <br /> Exempt Tier-known as Conditionally Exempt Limited (CEL), with a one-time only fee. It <br /> authorized: <br /> Aerosol can treatment, when using DTSC certified equipment and recycling the <br /> crushed cans, <br /> Certain oil/water separators, hazardous only due to the oil, when the recovered oil is <br /> recycled using an authorized offsite facility. This category does not include <br /> groundwater and most water contaminated with fuel (no more than two percent (2%) <br /> diesel fuel and no measurable amount of gasoline). <br /> Totally enclosed treatment units, but only after DTSC adopts regulations. <br /> SB 1291 fully exempts food industry elementary neutralization from permitting, adds the <br /> curing of resins to Conditionally Exempt Specified Wastestream (CESW), and allows DTSC <br /> to add new treatment to the onsite tiers by regulation. AB 1966 extends the sunset date for <br /> copper cleansers to January 1, 1998, continuing it in Conditional Authorization (CA). <br /> OTHER ONSITE TREATMENT CHANGES: SB 1291 eliminated PBR third party <br /> liability requirements, postponed closure financial assurance until October 1, 1996, and <br /> -2- <br />
