(A) Every user shall notify the General Manager, 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 C.F.R. part 261, or Cal. Code of Regulations Title 22. The notification must include the name of the hazardous waste as set forth in 40 C.F.R. part 261, the EPA hazardous waste number, and the type of discharge (continuous, batch or other). If the industrial user discharges more than ten kilograms of the waste per calendar month to the POTW, the notification shall also contain the following information:
(1) An identification of the hazardous constituents contained in the wastes;
(2) An estimation of the mass and concentration of the constituents in the waste stream discharged during that calendar month; and
(3) An estimation of the mass of constituents in the waste stream expected to be discharged during the following 12 months.
(B) All notifications must take place within ten days after the discharge commences. Any notification under this division need be submitted only once for each hazardous waste discharged. However, notifications of changed discharges must be submitted under § 7.20.560. The notification requirement in this section does not apply to pollutants already reported under the self-monitoring requirements of this chapter.
(C) In the case of any new regulations under § 3001 of RCRA identifying additional characteristics of hazardous waste or listing any additional substance as a hazardous waste, the industrial user shall notify the General Manager, the EPA Regional Waste Management Division Director, and state hazardous waste authorities of the discharge of the substances within 30 days of the effective date of the regulations.
(D) In the case of any notification made under this section, the industrial 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 been determined to be economically practical.
