NOT Subject to the Act (exemptions): An aboveground petroleum storage tank (AST) facility with one or more of the following (see HSC 25270.2 (k)) is not subject to this act and is exempt: - A pressure vessel or boiler which is subject to Division 5 of the Labor Code, - A storage tank containing hazardous waste if a hazardous waste facility permit has been issued for the storage tank by DTSC, - An aboveground oil production tank which is regulated by the Division of Oil and Gas, - Certain oil-filled electrical equipment including but not limited to transformers, circuit breakers, or capacitors. 9. HAZARDOUS WASTE GENERATOR - Check the appropriate box to indicate whether your facility generates hazardous waste. A generator is the person or business whose acts or processes produce a hazardous waste or who causes a hazardous substance or waste to become subject to State hazardous waste law. If your facility generates hazardous waste, you must obtain and use an EPA Identification number (ID) in order to properly transport and dispose of it. Report your EPA ID number in #2. Hazardous waste means a waste that meets any of the criteria for the identification of a hazardous waste adopted by DTSC pursuant to HSC 25141. "Hazardous waste" includes, but is not limited to, federally regulated hazardous waste. Federal hazardous waste law is known as the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). Unless explicitly stated otherwise, the term "hazardous waste" also includes extremely hazardous waste and acutely hazardous waste. 10. RECYCLE - Check the appropriate box to indicate whether your facility recycles more than 100 kilograms per month of recyclable material under a claim that the material is excluded or exempt per HSC 25143.2. Check YES and complete the Recyclable Materials Report pages, if you either recycled onsite or recycled excluded recyclable materials which were generated offsite. Check NO if you only send recyclable materials to an offsite recycler. You do not need to report. 11. ONSITE HAZARDOUS WASTE TREATMENT - Check the appropriate box to indicate whether your facility engages in onsite treatment of hazardous waste. "Treatment" means any method, technique, or process which is designed to change the physical, chemical, or biological character or composition of any hazardous waste or any material contained therein, or removes or reduces its harmful properties or characteristics for any purpose. "Treatment" does not include the removal of residues from manufacturing process equipment for the purposes of cleaning that equipment. Amendments (effective 1/1/99) add exemptions from the definition of treatment for certain processes under specific, limited conditions. Refer to HSC 25123.5 (b) for these specific exemptions. Treatment of certain laboratory hazardous wastes do not require authorization. Refer to HSC 25200.3.1 for specific information. Please contact your CUPA to determine if any exemptions apply to your facility. If your facility engages in onsite treatment of hazardous waste then complete the Onsite Hazardous Waste Treatment Notification - Facility page and one set of Onsite Hazardous Waste Treatment Notification - Unit pages with waste and treatment process information for each unit. 12. FINANCIAL ASSURANCE - Check the appropriate box to indicate whether your facility is subject to financial assurance requirements for closure of an onsite treatment unit. Unless they are exempt, Permit by Rule (PBR) and Conditionally Authorized (CA) operations are required to provide financial assurance for closure costs (per 22 CCR 67450.13 (b) and HSC 25245.4). If your facility is subject to financial assurance requirements or claiming an exemption, then complete the Certification of Financial Assurance page. 13. REMOTE WASTE CONSOLIDATION SITE - Check the appropriate box to indicate whether your facility consolidates hazardous waste generated at a remote site. Answer YES if you are a hazardous waste generator that collects hazardous waste initially at remote sites and subsequently transports the hazardous waste to a consolidation site you also operate. You must be eligible pursuant to the conditions in HSC 25110.10. If your facility consolidates hazardous waste generated at a remote site, then complete the Remote Waste Consolidation Site Annual Notification page. Page 16
14. HAZARDOUS WASTE TANK CLOSURE - Check the appropriate box to indicate whether the tank being closed would be classified as hazardous waste after its contents are removed. Classification could be based on: - Your knowledge of the tank and its contents - The mixture rule - Testing of the tank - The listed wastes in 40 CFR 261.31 or 40 CFR 261.32. - Inability to remove hazardous materials stored in the tank. If the tank being closed would be classified as hazardous waste after its contents are removed, then you must complete the Hazardous Waste Tank Closure Certification page. 15. LOCAL REQUIREMENTS - Some CUPAs or AAs may require additional information. Check with your CUPA before submitting the UPCF to determine if any supplemental information is required. Page 17
