1. Senate Bill (SB) 1636 (1994) exempted the recovery of silver from photographic solutions from permit and <br /> notification requirements if the quantity treated is 10 gallons or less in any calendar month. These generators <br /> were previously required to operate under a grant of CE. <br /> 2. SB 657 (1994) exempted the neutralization of acids and alkaline (bases) wastes from the regeneration of <br /> ion exchange resins used to demineralize water from permit and notification requirements provided that the <br /> waste does not contain more than 10 percent acid or base by weight. These generators were previously <br /> required to operate under a grant of CE. <br /> 3. SB 657(1995)exempts the neutralization of acids and alkaline (base)wastes from the wastes from the food <br /> processing industry from permit and notification requirements. These generators were previously required to <br /> operate under a grant of CE. <br /> If these exemptions apply to your company, please notify DTSC and the local enforcement agency (health <br /> officer or other designated public officer) in writing to withdraw your authorization. <br /> 4. Assembly Bill (AB) 483 (1995) adds a new category within the Conditional Exemption Tier, referred to by <br /> DTSC as Conditional Exemption Limited (CEL), with a one-time only $100.00 fee. This tier only applies to the <br /> operation of FTUs. It authorizes: <br /> • Aerosol can treatment, when using DTSC certified equipment and recycling the crushed cans. <br /> • Treatment of used oil using certain oil/water separators, hazardous only due to the oil, when the recovered <br /> oil is recycled using an authorized offsite facility. This category does not include contaminated groundwater <br /> and water contaminated with fuel (no more than two percent (2%) diesel fuel or any measurable amount of <br /> gasoline). <br /> • Totally enclosed treatment units, but only after DTSC adopts regulations. <br /> For additional guidance, please read the Fact Sheet on Conditional Exemption Limited. <br /> 5. SB 1135 (1995) eliminates some permit requirements for storing large volumes of liquid hazardous waste <br /> and increased generator accumulation time for generators of less than 1,000 kg/month under certain circum- <br /> stances. <br /> 6. AB 1060(1995) allows generators to hold non-RCRA contaminated soils from site cleanup projects in waste <br /> piles without obtaining a hazardous waste facility permit. <br /> 7. SB 1222 (1995) eliminates source reduction planning and reporting requirements for companies with less <br /> than 12,000 kg/year of hazardous waste. <br /> 8. SB 1291 (1995) makes the following changes: <br /> adds the curing of resins to CESW. <br /> allows DTSC to add new treatment to onsite tiers by regulation. <br /> changed the onsite treatment fee system so that companies will only pay a fee on the highest tier they <br /> operate. Previously, a separate fee was charged for each tier. The fees for many onsite treatment <br /> facilities will be reduced in 1996. <br /> • generators operating under CA and CE are legally authorized 60 days after submitting a <br /> complete notification. SB 1291 allows DTSC to shorten the time period between notification <br /> and authorizationn when the owner or operator shows good cause. <br />
