Baseline year means either of the following,whichever is applicable: 1. For a generator's initial Performance Report, the baseline year is the calendar year, selected by the generator, for which substantial data is available on hazardous waste generation, on-site management, or off-site management. However, the generator may select the current reporting year as the baseline year for the initial Performance Report. 2. For all subsequent Performance Reports, the baseline year is the reporting year of the immediately preceding Performance Report. For example, if the generator was required to prepare SB 14 documents for 2006, the baseline year for the 2010 Performance Report would be 2006. Reporting year means the calendar year immediately preceding the year in which a source reduction document is to be prepared. For source reduction documents due September 1, 2011, the reporting year is calendar year 2010. The generation of hazardous waste can fluc- tuate from year to year. However, under SB 14, a generator considers only hazardous waste *.+n routinely generated during the reporting year when determining if the applicability thresh- = old is exceeded. More specifically, routinely generated hazardous waste and/or extremely hazardous waste includes: 1. Wastes that result from ongoing processes or operations, 2. Wastes generated from regularly scheduled maintenance or production activities A4 performed once a year or more frequently than once a year, s- 3. It might also include wastes generated from regularly scheduled maintenance or production activities performed less frequently than once a year. Site is defined in section 25205.1(h) of the Health and Safety Code, to mean "the location of an operation which generates hazardous wastes and which is noncontiguous to any other location of these operations owned by the generator." Noncontiguous is the key word. If two operations are touching and owned by the same person, the operations are on one site. A Simple Method for Determining Applicability Ask yourself the following questions to help determine if SB 14 applies to your site. Do not include exempted wastes,wastes not routinely generated,or excluded wastes. 1. Are total manifested waste quantities greater than SB 14 thresholds? "Yes" means you may be subject to SB 14. 2. Do you pretreat more than 3,100 gallons of hazardous aqueous wastes on-site under tiered permit authorization prior to discharge? "Yes" means you may be subject to SB 14. If the answer to both 1 and 2 above is "no,"then ask the following question. 3. Is the total waste quantity in 1 and 2 above greater than SB 14 thresholds? "Yes" means you may be subject to SB 14. NOTE:Refer to Section 2.3 of this chapter to determine how exemptions or exclusions may apply to your facility. 18
