(A) Any IU who commences the discharge of hazardous waste shall notify in writing the director, the EPA regional waste management division director and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection of any discharge into the WWF of a substance which, if otherwise disposed of, would be 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 EPA hazardous waste number and the type of discharge (continuous, batch or other). If the IU discharges more than 100 kilograms of such waste per calendar month to the WWF, the notification also shall contain the following information to the extent such information is known and readily available to the IU: an identification of the hazardous constituents contained in the wastes, an estimation of the mass and concentration of such constituents in the wastestream discharge during that calendar month and an estimation of the mass of constituents in the wastestream expected to be discharged during the following 12 months. For new sources, notification must take place at least 90 calendar days before the discharge commences. For existing sources, notification must occur at least 15 calendar days before the discharge commences. Any notification under this division need be submitted only once for each hazardous waste discharged. However, notifications of changed conditions must be submitted under § 54.110. The notification requirement in this section does not apply to pollutants already reported by IUs subject to categorical pretreatment standards under the self-monitoring requirements of Section 54-48.
(B) Industrial users are exempt from the requirements of division (A) above 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 Sections 261.30(d) and 261.33(e), as hereby incorporated. Discharges of more than 15 kilograms of nonacute hazardous wastes in a calendar month, or of any quantity of acute hazardous wastes as specified in 40 CFR Sections 261.30(d) and 261.33(e), as hereby incorporated, requires a one-time notification. Subsequent months during which the IU discharges more than such quantities of any hazardous waste do not require additional notification.
(C) In the case of any new regulations under Section 3001 of RCRA identifying additional characteristics of hazardous waste, the IU must notify the director, the EPA regional waste management division director and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection of the discharge of such substance within 90 calendar days of the effective date of such regulations.
(D) In the case of any notification made under this section, the IU shall certify that it has a program to reduce the volume and toxicity of hazardous wastes generated to the degree it has determined to be economically practical.
(E) This section does not create a right to discharge any substance not otherwise permitted to be discharged by this chapter, a permit issued under this chapter or any applicable federal or state law or regulation.
