1. All users shall notify in writing the director, State Water Resources Control Board, Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board, California Department of Toxic Substances Control, and USEPA Regional Waste Management Division Director of any discharge which, if otherwise disposed of would be considered a hazardous waste under 40 CFR Part 261. Such notification must include the name of the hazardous waste as set forth in 40 CFR Part 261, the USEPA hazardous waste number, and the type of discharge (continuous, batch, or other). If the user discharges more than one hundred (100) kilograms of such waste per calendar month to the city’s sanitary sewer system, the notification shall also include the following information to the extent such information is known or readily available to the user: an identification of the hazardous constituents contained in the waste, an estimation of the mass and concentration of such constituents in the wastestream discharged during that calendar month, and an estimation of the mass of constituents in the wastestream expected to be discharged during the following twelve (12) months. Notification shall take place within one hundred and eighty (180) days after the discharge commences. Any notification under this section need be submitted only once for each hazardous waste discharged; however, notification of changed circumstances or changed discharges must be submitted under section 15.40.340.
