all identified as the same company on the hazardous waste manifest.
If multiple identification numbers are used by a single company, all
of the company's identification numbers shall be included in its
annual transporter registration application, if those numbers will be
used with the consolidated manifest procedure. Nothing in this
paragraph affects the obligation of a facility operator to submit to
the department a copy of a manifest pursuant to this section.
(B) If the waste subject to subparagraph (A) is transported out of
state, the generator shall either ensure that the facility operator
submits to the department a copy of the manifest or the generator
shall submit a copy to the department that contains the signatures of
the generator, all transporters, excepting intermediate rail
transporters, and the out-of-state facility operator pursuant to
paragraph (3).
(c) (1) The department shall determine the form and manner in
which a manifest shall be completed and the information that the
manifest shall contain. The information requested on the manifest
shall serve as the data dictionary for purposes of the developing of
an electronic reporting format pursuant to Section 71062 of the

(a) The department shall revise the hazardous waste code
identification system established in Appendix XII of Chapter 11
(commencing with Section 66261.1) of Division 4.5 of Title 22 of the
California Code of Regulations. The revised hazardous waste code
identification system shall meet the requirements of subdivision (b).
(b) The revised hazardous waste code identification system adopted
pursuant to subdivision (a) shall meet all of the following
requirements:
(1) RCRA hazardous wastes shall be identified by the same
hazardous waste code identification designations that are given to
those hazardous wastes by the RCRA hazardous waste code system
adopted pursuant to the federal act.
(2) Non-RCRA hazardous wastes shall be identified by hazardous
waste code identification designations that are consistent with the
federal waste code identification designations and shall be based on
the criteria that causes the waste to be regulated as a hazardous
waste in this state. The identification code system shall not require
the hazardous wastes subject to this paragraph to be identified by a
RCRA hazardous waste code identification.
(3) Notwithstanding the requirements of paragraphs (1) and (2),
the department may propose and adopt additional modifications to the
hazardous waste code identification system if the department
determines that those additional modifications are necessary and
essential to provide any one of the following:
(A) Significant benefit to the protection of human health or the
environment.
(B) Significant benefit to compliance and enforcement activities.
(C) Significant additional assurance that hazardous wastes are
properly managed.
(c) To facilitate implementation of the revised hazardous waste
code identification system adopted pursuant to this section, the
department shall do all of the following:
(1) Determine an operative date for the regulations establishing
the revised hazardous waste code identification system in order to
allow for a reasonable transition period, which shall not exceed
three years after the date the revised waste code regulations are
adopted. If the department determines, prior to the end of that
three-year period, that additional time is necessary for the new
waste code system to become operative, the department may revise the
regulations to extend the transition period and the operative date
for up to an additional two years.
(2) Adopt a regulatory procedure for the amendment of existing
permits, registrations, licenses, certifications, and other
authorizations that have been issued by the department to allow the
revised hazardous waste code identification system to be used by
facilities with existing authorizations that refer to, or
incorporate, the old hazardous waste code identification system,
subject to all of the following limitations:
(A) The regulatory procedure will not change the type or amount of
hazardous waste that persons are authorized to treat, store,
transfer, dispose of, or otherwise handle in accordance with this
chapter.
(B) To the extent consistent with the federal act, the regulatory
procedure will not require individual modification to individual
facility permits, registrations, licenses, certifications, or other
authorizations solely for the purpose of reflecting the revised
hazardous waste code identification system.
(C) The regulatory procedure for the amendment of existing
permits, registrations, licenses, certifications, or other
authorizations shall apply to all applicable facilities on the
operative date of the revised hazardous waste code identification
system, as determined by the department pursuant to paragraph (1) of
subdivision (c).
(3) Conduct a public education, outreach, and notification program
to ensure that users of the hazardous waste code identification
system are reasonably notified of and understand the changes made to
the system pursuant to this section.
(a) In lieu of the procedures prescribed by Sections 25160
and 25161, transporters and generators of hazardous waste meeting
the conditions in this section may use the consolidated manifesting
procedure set forth in subdivision (b) to consolidate shipments of
waste streams identified in subdivision (c) collected from multiple
generators onto a single consolidated manifest.
(b) The following consolidated manifesting procedure may be used
only for non-RCRA hazardous waste or for RCRA hazardous waste that is
not required to be manifested pursuant to the federal act or the
federal regulations adopted pursuant to the federal act and
transported by a registered hazardous waste transporter, and used
only with the consent of the generator:
(1) A separate manifest shall be completed by each vehicle driver,
with respect to each transport vehicle operated by that driver for
each date.
(2) The transporter shall complete both the generator's and the
transporter's section of the manifest using the transporter's name,
identification number, terminal address, and telephone number. The
generator's and transporter's sections shall be completed prior to
commencing each day's collections. The driver shall sign and date the
generator's and transporter's sections of the manifest.
(3) The transporter shall attach to the front of the manifest
legible receipts for each quantity of hazardous waste that is
received from a generator. The receipts shall be used to determine
the total volume of hazardous waste in the vehicle. After the
hazardous waste is delivered, the receipts shall be affixed to the
transporter's copy of the manifest. The transporter shall leave a
copy of the receipt with the generator of the hazardous waste. The
generator shall retain each receipt for at least three years. This
period of retention is extended automatically during the course of
any unresolved enforcement action regarding the regulated activity or
as requested by the department or a certified unified program
agency.
(4) All copies of each receipt shall contain all of the following
information:
(A) The name, address, identification number, contact person, and
telephone number of the generator, and the signature of the generator
or the generator's representative.
(B) The date of the shipment.
(C) The manifest number.
(D) The volume or quantity of each waste stream received, its
California and RCRA waste codes, the wastestream type listed in
subdivision (c), and its proper shipping description, including the
hazardous class and United Nations/North America (UN/NA)
identification number, if applicable.
(E) The name, address, and identification number of the authorized
facility to which the hazardous waste will be transported.
(F) The transporter's name, address, and identification number.
(G) The driver's signature.
(H) A statement, signed by the generator, certifying that the
generator has established a program to reduce the volume or quantity
and toxicity of the hazardous waste to the degree, as determined by
the generator, to be economically practicable.
(5) The transporter shall enter the total volume or quantity of
each waste stream transported on the manifest at the change of each
date, change of driver, or change of transport vehicle. The total
volume or quantity shall be the cumulative amount of each waste
stream collected from the generators listed on the individual
receipts. In lieu of submitting a copy of each manifest used, a
facility operator may submit an electronic report to the department
meeting the requirements of Section 25160.3.
(6) The transporter shall submit the generator copy of the
manifest to the department within 30 days of each shipment.
(7) The transporter shall retain a copy of the manifest and all
receipts for each manifest at a location within the state for three
years. This period of retention is extended automatically during the
course of any unresolved enforcement action regarding the regulated
activity or as requested by the department or a certified unified
program agency.
(8) The transporter shall submit all copies of the manifest to the
designated facility. A representative of the designated facility
that receives the hazardous waste shall sign and date the manifest,
return two copies to the transporter, retain one copy, and send the
original to the department within 30 days.
(9) All other manifesting requirements of Sections 25160 and 25161
shall be complied with unless specifically exempted under this
section. If an out-of-state receiving facility is not required to
submit the signed manifest copy to the department, the consolidated
transporter, acting as generator, shall submit a copy of the manifest
signed by the receiving facility to the department pursuant to
paragraph (3) of subdivision (b) of Section 25160.
(10) Except as provided by subdivision (e), each generator using
the consolidated manifesting procedure shall have an identification
number, unless exempted from manifesting requirements by action of
Section 25143.13 for generators of photographic waste less than 100
kilograms per calendar month.
(c) The consolidated manifesting procedure set forth in
subdivision (b) may be used only for the following waste streams and
in accordance with the conditions specified below for each waste
stream:
(1) Used oil and the contents of an oil/water separator, if the
separator is a catch basin, clarifier, or similar collection device
that is used to collect water containing residual amounts of one or
more of the following: used oil, antifreeze, or other substances and
contaminants associated with activities that generate used oil and
antifreeze.
(2) The wastes listed in subparagraph (A) may be manifested under
the procedures specified in this section only if all of the

of calculating the 1,000 kilograms per calendar month limit described
in this section, the generator may exclude the volume of used oil
and the contents of the oil/water separator that is managed pursuant
to paragraph (1) of subdivision (c).
(C) (i) The generator enters into an agreement with the
transporter in which the transporter agrees that the transporter will
submit a confirmation to the generator that the hazardous waste was
transported to an authorized hazardous waste treatment facility for
appropriate treatment. The agreement may provide that the hazardous
waste will first be transported to a storage or transfer facility in
accordance with the applicable provisions of law.
(ii) The treatment requirement specified in clause (i) does not
apply to asbestos, asbestos-containing materials, and chemicals and
laboratory packs collected from K-12 schools, or any other waste

action by the best evidence rule and shall be deemed to meet the
requirements of Section 1507 of the Evidence Code.
(a) On and after January 1, 2005, and except as provided
in subdivision (b), if an offsite hazardous waste facility operator
either rejects a partial shipment of hazardous waste, or rejects an
entire shipment of hazardous waste after signing the manifest
accompanying the shipment, the facility operator shall prepare a new
manifest to accompany the rejected hazardous waste when it is
returned to the generator or shipped to an alternate facility
designated by the generator.
(b) To the extent that the United States Environmental Protection
Agency adopts regulations under the federal act that preempt or are
more stringent than the requirements of this section, an offsite
hazardous waste facility, generator, and transporter shall instead
comply with those regulations on and after the date those federal
regulations become effective in California, or on and after the
effective date of regulations adopted by the department in accordance
with those federal regulations, whichever date occurs first.
If any person submits an incomplete or improperly
completed manifest, and the department returns the manifest to the
person who completed or submitted the manifest, the person to whom it
was returned shall, within 30 days from the date of receipt of the
returned manifest, submit a fee of twenty dollars ($20) to the
department to accompany the resubmitted manifest. The department
shall deposit the fees collected pursuant to this section into the
Hazardous Waste Control Account, for expenditure by the department,
upon appropriation by the Legislature.
(a) (1) If a hazardous waste shipment is rejected in its
entirety before the original manifest is signed by an offsite
hazardous waste facility operator, the original manifest shall be
used to transport the rejected load to either the generator or an
alternate facility designated by the generator.
(2) An offsite hazardous waste facility operator is not required
to sign a manifest pursuant to this subdivision until the hazardous
waste listed on the manifest is fully unloaded at the facility. If
the transporter leaves a loaded or partially loaded trailer at the
facility, the facility operator shall sign the manifest before the
transporter departs the facility.
(3) The hazardous waste facility operator shall, when preparing a
manifest to accompany a rejected load of hazardous waste, enter the
number of the original manifest in Box 19 on the new manifest, and
the facility operator shall enter the number of the new manifest in
Box 19 on those copies of the original manifest still in the facility
operator's possession. The facility operator shall enter this
information elsewhere on the manifest if required by regulations
adopted by the department. The facility operator shall also use Box
19 on the new manifest, or any other box that is required by the
department's regulations, to identify the shipment as a rejected
load.
(4) After an offsite hazardous waste facility operator rejects a
shipment of hazardous waste, the transporter shall transport the
hazardous waste, accompanied by the original manifest or a new
manifest, to either the generator or an alternate facility designated
by the generator. The transporter shall obtain a signature on the
manifest from the operator of the alternate designated facility or
the generator, whichever receives the rejected shipment.
(b) For purposes of receiving hazardous waste rejected by an
offsite hazardous waste facility operator, the generator of the
hazardous waste shall be considered a designated facility for the
receipt of hazardous waste generated by that generator. For purposes
of this section, "designated facility" has the same meaning as that
term is defined in Section 66260.10 of Title 22 of the California
Code of Regulations, including any amendments thereto.
(c) (1) An offsite hazardous waste facility operator that rejects
an entire shipment or a partial shipment of hazardous waste pursuant
to this section is not the generator of that hazardous waste for
purposes of this chapter, including any regulations adopted pursuant
to this chapter, nor an arranger for disposal of the waste, nor a
transporter who chooses the location for disposal of waste.
(2) (A) An offsite hazardous waste facility operator that rejects
an entire shipment or a partial shipment of hazardous waste pursuant
to this section is the offeror of the rejected hazardous waste.
(B) For purposes of this chapter and regulations adopted pursuant
to this chapter, "offeror" means a person who ships hazardous waste
and is responsible for ensuring that the hazardous waste is properly
prepared for shipment but who is not an arranger for disposal or a
transporter who chooses the location for disposal of the waste.
(3) An offsite hazardous waste facility operator that rejects an
entire shipment or a partial shipment of hazardous waste pursuant to
this section shall comply with the department's regulations
concerning manifest use, container condition and management, and
container packaging, labeling, marking, and placarding with respect
to the rejected hazardous waste.
(d) Except as provided in subdivision (e), the generator of
hazardous waste who receives a rejected shipment of that hazardous
waste may accumulate the rejected hazardous waste onsite for 90 days
or less, in accordance with the requirements of paragraph (1) of
subdivision (a) of Section 66262.34 of Title 22 of the California
Code of Regulations. The generator of the rejected hazardous waste
shall label or mark the hazardous waste in a manner that indicates
that it is rejected hazardous waste and shall include the date it was
received by the generator. If the generator of the rejected
hazardous waste commingles it with other hazardous wastes, the
shorter of any applicable accumulation time limits shall apply to the
commingled hazardous waste.
