(A) All users shall promptly notify the Superintendent, the EPA Regional Waste Management Division Director, and state hazardous waste authorities in writing of any discharge into the POTW of a substance, which, if otherwise disposed of, would be a hazardous waste under 40 CFR Part 261. Such notification must include:
(1) The name of the hazardous waste as set forth in 40 CFR 261;
(2) The EPA hazardous waste number;
(3) The type of discharge (continuous, batch or other).
(B) If the user discharges more than 100 kilograms of such waste per calendar month to the POTW, the notification shall also contain the following information to the extent such information is known and readily available to the user:
(1) An identification of the hazardous constituents contained in the wastes;
(2) An estimation of the mass and concentration of such constituents in the waste stream discharged during that calendar month;
(3) An estimation of the mass of constituents to be discharged during the following 12 months.
(C) Users who commence discharging after the effective date (July 24, 1990) of 40 CFR 403.12 (p) shall provide this notification no later than 180 days after the discharge of the hazardous waste and/or the adoption of this chapter.
(D) Users are exempt from the above requirements during a calendar month in which they discharge no more than 15 kilograms of hazardous wastes, unless the wastes are acute hazardous wastes as specified in 40 CFR 261.30(d) and 261.33(e), thus requiring a one-time notification. Subsequent months during which the user discharges additional quantities of such hazardous wastes do not require additional information.
(E) In the case of new regulations under Section 3001 of RCRA identifying additional characteristics of hazardous waste, or listing any additional substance as a hazardous waste, the user must notify the Superintendent, the EPA Regional Waste Management Division Director, and state hazardous waste authorities of the discharge of such substance within 90 days of the effective date of such regulations.
(F) All users required to provide such notification shall certify that they have a program in place to reduce the volume of toxic or hazardous wastes generated to the degree they have determined to be economically practical.
