These standards require <br /> the use of a manifest and a registered transporter for the <br /> 4 _ ipment of hazardous wastes to the -interim Status facility for <br /> § . a purposes of recycling. <br /> Until the -creation of -the Standardized Permit tier, the <br /> Department Of Toxic Substances -Control (Department) historically <br /> allowed fluorescent-lamp waste recycling facilities to operate <br /> pursuant to Research, Development, and Demonstration (RD&D) <br /> variances.
