Section 25200.10 Of Article 9. Permitting Of Facilities From California Health And Safety Code >> Division 20. >> Chapter 6.5. >> Article 9.
25200.10
. (a) For purposes of this section, "facility" means the
entire site that is under the control of the owner or operator
seeking a hazardous waste facilities permit.
(b) Except as provided in subdivisions (d) and (e), the
department, or a unified program agency approved to implement this
section pursuant to Section 25404.1, shall require, and any permit
issued by the department shall require, corrective action for all
releases of hazardous waste or constituents from a solid waste
management unit or a hazardous waste management unit at a facility
engaged in hazardous waste management, regardless of the time at
which waste was released at the facility. Any corrective action
required pursuant to this section shall require that corrective
action be taken beyond the facility boundary where necessary to
protect human health and safety or the environment, unless the owner
or operator demonstrates to the satisfaction of the department or the
unified program agency, whichever agency required the corrective
action, that despite the owner's or operator's best efforts, the
owner or operator is unable to obtain the necessary permission to
undertake this action. When corrective action cannot be completed
prior to issuance of the permit, the permit shall contain schedules
of compliance for corrective action and assurances of financial
responsibility for completing the corrective action.
(c) This section does not limit the department's authority, or a
unified program agency's authority pursuant to Chapter 6.11
(commencing with Section 25404), to require corrective action
pursuant to Section 25187.
(d) This section does not apply to a permit issued to a public
agency or person for the operation of a temporary household hazardous
waste collection facility pursuant to Article 10.8 (commencing with
Section 25218).
(e) Unless otherwise expressly required by another provision of
this chapter, the corrective action required by subdivision (a) does
not apply to a person who treats hazardous waste pursuant to a
conditional exemption pursuant to this chapter, if the person is not
otherwise required to obtain a hazardous waste facilities permit or
other grant of authorization for any other hazardous waste management
activity at the facility. This subdivision does not limit the
department's authority, the authority of a local health officer or
other local public officer authorized pursuant to Section 25187.7, or
the authority of a unified program agency approved pursuant to
Section 25404.1, to order corrective action pursuant to Section
25187.
(f) (1) Pursuant to Article 8 (commencing with Section 25180), the
department shall require any offsite facility that was granted
interim status pursuant to Section 25200.5 prior to January 1, 1992,
and which is not subject to Section 25201.6, to comply with
subdivisions (a) to (d), inclusive, of Section 25200.14. The grant of
interim status of a facility subject to this subdivision which, as
of July 1, 1997, has not complied with subdivisions (a) to (d),
inclusive, of Section 25200.14, shall terminate on that date.
(2) For purposes of this subdivision, a facility is in compliance
with subdivisions (a) to (d), inclusive, of Section 25200.14 only if
the facility owner or operator has substantively performed the
requirements of subdivisions (a) to (d), inclusive, of Section
25200.14 and the regulations adopted pursuant to those provisions,
and the facility owner or operator has not merely agreed to a
schedule for future compliance, except insofar as submission of a
schedule pursuant to the requirements of subdivision (d) of Section
25200.14 may constitute substantive compliance with that subdivision.
(3) Notwithstanding paragraph (2), a facility shall be deemed to
be in compliance with this subdivision if the department or a federal
agency has completed a RCRA facility, or equivalent assessment for
the facility on or before July 1, 1997.
