(A) (1) Any user who commences the discharge of hazardous waste shall notify the POTW, the U.S. EPA Region V, and the IDEM, in writing, of any discharge into the POTW of a substance which, if otherwise disposed of, would be a hazardous waste under 40 CFR 261.
(2) The notification must include the name of the hazardous waste as set forth in 40 CFR 261, the EPA hazardous waste number and the type of discharge (continuous, batch or other). If the user discharges more than 100 kilograms of the waste per calendar month to the POTW, the notification also shall contain the following information to the extent the information is known and readily available to the user: an identification of the hazardous constituents contained in the wastes, an estimation of the mass and concentration of the 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 12 months.
(3) All notifications must take no place no later than 180 days after 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 § 54.064. The notification requirement in this section does not apply to pollutants already reported by users subject to categorical pretreatment standards under the self-monitoring requirements of §§ 54.060, 54.062 and 54.063.
(B) (1) Dischargers 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 parts 261.30(d) and 261.33(e). Discharge of more than 15 kilograms of non-acute hazardous wastes in a calendar month, or of any quantity of acute hazardous wastes as specified in 40 CFR parts 261.30(d) and 261.33(e), requires a one-time notification.
(2) Subsequent months during which the user discharges more than the permissible quantities of any hazardous waste do not require additional notification.
(C) In the case of any new regulations under 42 USC 6901 et seq. identifying additional characteristics of hazardous waste or listing any additional substance as a hazardous waste, the user must notify the Wastewater Utility Superintendent, the EPA Region V and the IDEM of the discharge of the substance within 90 days of the effective date of the regulations.
(D) In case of any notification made under this section, the user shall certify that it has a program in place to reduce the volume and toxicity of hazardous wastes generated to the degree it has determined to be economically practical.
(E) This provision does not create a right to discharge any substance not otherwise permitted to be discharged by this chapter, a permit issued thereunder, or any applicable federal or state law.
