Pacific Gas and <br /> Electric Company- <br /> WE DELIVER ENERGY.- <br /> March 20, 2009 <br /> Department of Toxic Substances Control <br /> Program Data Management Section <br /> Consolidation Site Annual Notification <br /> 1001 1 Street <br /> Sacramento, CA 95812-0806 <br /> Re: Pacific Gas & Electric Company's <br /> 2009 Remote Waste/Consolidation Site Annual Notification <br /> Ladies and Gentlemen: <br /> Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E) is submitting this annual notification to operate <br /> under the Health & Safety Code provisions allowing small quantities of hazardous waste to be <br /> transported without a uniform hazardous waste manifest from a remote location to a <br /> consolidation site. These remote sites are located within PG&E's operational territory, which <br /> includes most of northern and central California and parts of southeastern California. <br /> Attached are tables which list PG&E's consolidation facilities, including addresses and EPA <br /> identification numbers (Tables 1-3). Table 4 provides a general description of PG&E's <br /> remote sites. For some of these remote sites, PG&E previously obtained and will maintain <br /> the EPA identification numbers to properly handle occasional maintenance projects that <br /> generate large quantities of waste. Table 5 lists the typical hazardous wastes that may be <br /> generated at the remote sites. <br /> In order to demonstrate eligibility for generator consolidation of remotely collected wastes, <br /> generators are required to provide the basis for determining that a hazardous waste permit is <br /> not required under the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and the <br /> federal regulations adopted under RCRA (Title 40, Code of Federal Regulations). The <br /> following best describe the operation of PG&E's onsite consolidation sites: <br /> • The hazardous wastes being consolidated are not hazardous waste under federal law <br /> although the wastes are regulated as hazardous waste under California state law. <br /> • The hazardous wastes are hazardous waste under federal law, but transportation to and <br /> accumulation at the consolidation site of the wastes is not subject to permitting <br /> requirements under federal law because RCRA does not subject these wastes to <br /> permitting requirements. <br />
