n s Chapter 7 The SummaryrD It Progress Report o =_ 7.1 Background The Hazardous Waste Source Reduction and Management Review Act of 1989, also known as SB 14, requires hazardous waste generators to consider source reduction as the preferred � method of managing hazardous waste. SB 14 promotes source reduction over recycling, treatment, and disposal. Source reduction avoids the generation of hazardous wastes, as well 0 as its associated management liabilities and adverse impacts to public health and the environment. �+ The Guidance Manual for Complying with the Hazardous Waste Source Reduction and Management Review Act of 1989 (2010 edition) explains SB 14 requirements for generators and is referenced throughout this document. Generators are strongly encouraged to obtain a copy of the Guidance Manual to determine if they are captured by SB 14 and to ensure that they satisfy all of the requirements. The Summary Progress Report is one of the docu- ments required by SB 14. SB 14 applies to generators that, by site, routinely generate through ongoing processes and operations, more than 12,000 kilograms of hazardous waste or 12 kilograms of extremely hazardous waste in a reporting year. Chapter 2 of the Guidance Manual explains the process of determining if a facility is captured under SB 14, defines terminology specific to SB 14, and lists waste streams that are exempted or otherwise excluded from SB 14 requirements. The current SB 14 reporting year is calendar year 2010. 7.2 SB 14 Reporting Requirements Generators who are subject to SB 14 in reporting year 2010 are required to satisfy SB14 reporting requirements by September 1, 2011. Generators subject to SB 14 must conduct a source reduction evaluation at their facility and prepare the three following documents: • Prepare and retain the Source Reduction Evaluation Review and Plan (Plan) as described in Chapter 5 of the Guidance Manual; • Prepare and retain the Hazardous Waste Management Performance Report (Performance Report) as described in Chapter 6 of the Guidance Manual; and • Prepare and submit the Summary Progress Report (SPR) as described herein. As explained in Chapter 4 of the Guidance Manual, facilities that are subject to S1314 and meet the definition of a small business (California Government Code Section 11324.610) have the option to complete a Compliance Checklist in place of the Plan. In place of the Performance Report, a small business can use their most recent biennial generator report (BGR), as re- quired by California Code of Regulations Section 66262.41. 57
