25244.20
. (a) On or before September 1, 1991, and every four years
thereafter, each generator shall prepare a hazardous waste management
performance report documenting hazardous waste management approaches
implemented by the generator.
(b) Except as provided in subdivision (d), the hazardous waste
management performance report required by subdivision (a) shall be
prepared for each site in accordance with the format adopted pursuant
to subdivision (a) of Section 25244.16 and shall include all of the
following:
(1) The name and location of the site.
(2) The SIC Code for the site.
(3) All of the following information for each waste stream
identified pursuant to paragraph (3) of subdivision (b) of Section
25244.19:
(A) An estimate of the quantity of hazardous waste generated and
the quantity of hazardous waste managed, both onsite and offsite,
during the current reporting year and the baseline year, as specified
in subdivision (c).
(B) An abstract for each source reduction, recycling, or treatment
technology implemented from the baseline year through the current
reporting year, if the reporting year is different from the baseline
year.
(C) A description of factors during the current reporting year
that have affected hazardous waste generation and onsite and offsite
hazardous waste management since the baseline year, including, but
not limited to, any of the following:
(i) Changes in business activity.
(ii) Changes in waste classification.
(iii) Natural phenomena.
(iv) Other factors that have affected either the quantity of
hazardous waste generated or onsite and offsite hazardous waste
management requirements.
(4) The certification of the report pursuant to subdivision (e).
(c) For purposes of subdivision (b), the following definitions
apply:
(1) The current reporting year is the calendar year immediately
preceding the year in which the report is to be prepared.
(2) The baseline year is either of the following, whichever is
applicable:
(A) For the initial report, the baseline year is the calendar year
selected by the generator for which substantial hazardous waste
generation, or onsite or offsite management, data is available prior
to 1991.
(B) For all subsequent reports, the baseline year is the current
reporting year of the immediately preceding report.
(d) If a generator owns or operates multiple sites with similar
processes, operations, and waste streams, the generator may prepare a
single multisite report addressing all of these sites.
(e) Every report completed pursuant to this section shall be
submitted by the generator for review and certification by an
engineer who is registered as a professional engineer pursuant to
Section 6762 of the Business and Professions Code and who has
demonstrated expertise in hazardous waste management, by an
individual who is responsible for the processes and operations of the
site, or by an environmental assessor who has demonstrated expertise
in hazardous waste management. The engineer, individual, or
environmental assessor shall certify the report only if the report
identifies factors that affect the generation and onsite and offsite
management of hazardous wastes and summarizes the effect of those
factors on the generation and onsite and offsite management of
hazardous wastes.
