Section 096-857-4 - Manifest Form

Universal Citation: 06 ME Code Rules ยง 096-857-4
Current through 2024-38, September 18, 2024

The uniform hazardous waste manifest form (EPA Form 8700-22 and if necessary 8700-22A), and the Maine Recyclable Material Uniform Bill of Lading (UBOL) form approved by the Board, including the instructions on the back of the manifest and UBOL forms, are hereby incorporated as provisions of this Chapter. The UBOL may be used in lieu of the uniform hazardous waste manifest for shipments of universal waste, as defined and regulated pursuant to 06-096 C.M.R. ch. 858. For universal waste shipped using a UBOL, the term "hazardous waste facility" as used in this Chapter may include "central accumulation facility", "consolidation facility" or "recycling facility" as those terms are defined in 06-096 C.M.R. ch. 858. All information required on the manifest and UBOL forms and all related instructions are requirements of this Chapter, to which penalties for non-compliance attach. The Department may authorize an alternative form to the UBOL for the transport of universal wastes if it contains the information required to meet the needs of the Department.

NOTE: In 2008, the Department approved a manifest form entitled "Maine Recyclable Material Uniform Bill of Lading" for shipments of universal waste in lieu of the Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest (i.e., EPA Form 8700-22 and if necessary, Form 8700-22A). The Maine Recyclable Material Uniform Bill of Lading replaced a previously-approved form (entitled "Maine Recyclable Hazardous Materials Uniform Bill of Lading") to address certain concerns of the Electronics Industry Association, to remove the word "Hazardous" from its title, and to provide for the documentation and tracking of shipments of Maine universal wastes including those which are not included from the list of U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) regulated hazardous materials, as well as universal wastes that are DOT regulated hazardous materials.
