Owners/operators of a waste management facility regulated under a SWFP shall contact the issuing agency, pursuant to California Code of Regulations, title 14, section 17210 et seq.

The Discharger shall comply with all applicable conditions in Section A of this Conditional Waiver. 4. Owners/operators of regulated waste management or disposal facilities shall prevent surface runoff/runon from contacting wastes derived from cleanup of disaster-impacted areas and shall prevent erosion and transport of soils containing disaster related wastes or waste constituents by surface runoff from all temporary waste piles. The facility owner/operator shall implement management measures (MMs) and/or best management practices (BMPs) for storm water conveyance and control. 5. All wastes derived from disaster-impacted areas shall be placed at least 100 feet from any surface water of the state. 6.
