A. Any industrial user who commences the discharge of hazardous waste shall notify the city, the EPA Regional Waste Management Division Director and the state hazardous waste authorities in writing of any discharge into the city's wastewater collection and treatment system 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 industrial user discharges more than ten kilograms of such waste per calendar month, the notification shall also contain the following information to the extent such information is known and readily available to the industrial user: an identification of the hazardous constituents contained in the wastes, 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 the constituents in the wastestream expected to be discharged during the following twelve (12) months. All notifications must take place no later than ten days after the discharge commences. Notifications of changed discharges must be submitted in accordance with the provisions of this chapter. This notification requirement does not apply to pollutants reported under the requirements of discharge permits issued by the city.
B. In case of any new regulations under Section 3001 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) identifying additional characteristics of hazardous waste or listing any additional substances as a hazardous waste, the industrial discharger shall notify the city, the EPA Regional Waste Management Division Director and the state hazardous waste authorities of the discharge of such substance within ninety (90) days of the effective date of such regulations.
C. 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 determined to be economically practical. (Ord. 2006-02 (part), 2006: Prior code § 4262)
