2) If agreed to by both the shipper and the owner or operator of the destination facility, send the shipment to another destination facility.

c) If the owner or operator of a destination facility receives a shipment containing hazardous waste that is not a universal waste, the owner or operator of the destination facility must immediately notify the Agency (Bureau of Land, Illinois EPA, 1021 North Grand Avenue East, Springfield, Illinois 62794-9276 (telephone: 217-782-6761)) of the illegal shipment, and provide the name, address, and phone number of the shipper.
