Section 18809.7 - Determining Origin of Waste at a Station

(a) An operator shall determine the origin of all solid waste during the origin survey period set forth in section 18809.6.

(b) When requested by a receiving operator, an operator who sends solid waste to another facility within California shall provide the receiving operator with the jurisdiction of origin for all material in each load delivered during the entire quarter that the receiving operator identifies as potential alternative daily cover, alternative intermediate cover, or other beneficial reuse material. The jurisdiction of origin information shall be based on actual daily tonnage. An operator shall also inform a receiving operator of the type or types of material being supplied.

(c) When requested by a receiving operator, an operator who sends solid waste to another facility within California shall notify the operator of that facility of each load of C&D debris/inert debris delivered during the entire quarter. The operator shall also provide the jurisdiction of origin for each load, based on actual daily tonnage.

(d) When requested by a receiving operator, an operator who sends solid waste to another facility within California shall notify the operator of that facility of each load of disaster waste delivered during the entire quarter. The operator shall also provide the jurisdiction of origin for each load, based on actual daily tonnage.

(e) For all loads not delivered by public contract haulers, an operator shall obtain and maintain a record of the following information:

(f) An operator shall collect jurisdiction of origin from public contract haulers. The public contract hauler shall provide the jurisdiction of origin as specified in section 18808.7(b).

(g) If a station accepts solid waste from only one jurisdiction, the operator shall assign the waste to that jurisdiction.

(h) If an attendant is not present during regular hours of operation, and one cannot be present to obtain jurisdiction of origin information during the survey period, and the operator does not receive origin information from the haulers delivering waste, then the operator shall assign the waste to the jurisdiction in which the station is located by labeling it as "no attendant host assigned" waste. An operator shall determine quarterly percentages of the total waste assigned to a host jurisdiction and report the percentage allocations to each facility to which waste was sent, pursuant to section 18809.9(b)(4). An operator shall also provide information on host assigned waste to a host jurisdiction if requested pursuant to section 18809.9(d).

(i) If a station accepts solid waste from more than one jurisdiction, the operator shall use the information on the jurisdictions of origin for all solid waste to estimate the percentage of waste from each jurisdiction. The percentage of waste from each jurisdiction shall be based on either the total tons accepted from each jurisdiction, the total tons of solid waste from each jurisdiction after adjusting for diversion at the station, or the total tons from each jurisdiction based on a reasonable method used at the station to allocate waste.

(j) If solid waste is delivered to the station and information on the jurisdiction of origin is not provided by the delivering hauler or operator during the survey period as specified in this Article, then the operator shall assign the waste percentage to the jurisdiction in which the station is located by labeling it as "host assigned" waste and send written notification to the agency regarding hauler or operator non-compliance as specified in section 18809.11. The operator shall determine quarterly percentages of the total waste assigned to a host jurisdiction and report the percentage allocations to each facility to which waste was sent, pursuant to section 18809.9(b)(4). The operator shall also provide information on host assigned waste to a host jurisdiction if requested pursuant to section 18809.9(d).
