4 <br /> Why does Box 15 refer to "generator/offerer" instead of Generator? <br /> U.S. EPA added the term "offeror"to differentiate when Transfer, Storage or Disposal <br /> Facilities (TSDFs) are returning waste they did not generate. The term is included in Box <br /> 15 as a certification that the DOT shipping name(s), markings, labels and containers of the <br /> rejected waste is still applicable during its transit from the rejecting TSDF back to the <br /> generator or to the alternate TSDF. <br /> What is an offeror for Hazardous Waste Management manifesting purposes? <br /> An "offeror" is a DOT term for the person who initiates a shipment. With respect to the <br /> manifest, "offeror" is not defined in California's regulations, but is recognized as having <br /> the same meaning as used by DOT. A business would be the offerer of a shipment in those <br /> instances where waste is rejected by a TSDF and will be forwarded to an alternate facility. <br /> BOX 17, TRANSPORTER ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF RECEIPT OF MATERIALS <br /> Transporters only should sign once per manifest. How does that apply to a national <br /> company with multiple subdivisions? How many ID numbers and signatures should <br /> be put on the manifest? <br /> Only one signature per transporter company is required, not one signature per driver. In <br /> California, if each subdivision is a different corporate entity, then they are not allowed on <br /> one registration and would be separate registered transporters needing to sign for each <br /> different ID number. No change to the regulation is required. <br /> BOX 18a, DISCREPANCY (RESIDUE) <br /> Now that the TSDF and not the transporter determines if a tanker truck is "empty", <br /> will objective evidence be needed to determine this (i.e.,will calibrated scales before <br /> and after unloading be required or can visual determinations be used)? <br /> Both the transporter and TSDF will be responsible for this determination. There is not an <br /> "approved" method of determining volume in a bulk container. The TSDF or generator <br /> would need to "eyeball" the retraining volume, apply math, or more likely use a gauge <br /> table from the manufacturer of the tank Alternatively, they could use a calculator or the <br /> internet to calculate the remaining volume and then divide it by the capacity of the tank to <br /> determine the percentage. <br /> How does the definition of"empty" differ between the state and federal regulations <br /> when referring to "bulls" containers? <br /> There is no difference between the definition of"empty"for bulk containers in the Federal <br /> and State regulations, with the exception that California requires triple rinsing when the <br /> material or waste in the bulk container was acutely or extremely hazardous. <br /> 96 of 98 <br />
