Subpart 1.
Scope.
This part applies to owners and operators of both on-site and
off-site facilities, except as part
7045.0450 provides otherwise. The
provisions of subpart
2 do not apply to owners and
operators of on-site facilities that do not receive any hazardous waste from
off-site sources.
Subp. 2.
General manifest requirements.
A.
If a facility receives hazardous waste accompanied by a manifest, the owner or
operator, or this person's agent, shall:
(1)
sign and date, by hand, each copy of the manifest to certify that the hazardous
waste covered by the manifest was received, except as noted in the discrepancy
space of the manifest, or rejected as noted in the manifest discrepancy
space;
(2) note any discrepancies
in the manifest on each copy of the manifest. The owner or operator of a
facility whose procedures under part
7045.0458, subpart
2, item G, include waste
analysis need not perform that analysis before signing the manifest and giving
it to the transporter. However, part
7045.0476 requires reporting any
discrepancy discovered during later analysis;
(3) immediately give the transporter at least
one copy of the signed manifest;
(4) within 30 days after the delivery, send a
copy of the manifest to the generator; and
(5) retain at the facility a copy of each
manifest for at least three years from the date of delivery.
B. If a facility receives
hazardous waste imported from a foreign source, the receiving facility must
mail a copy of the manifest to the following address within 30 days of
delivery: International Compliance Assurance Division, OFA/OECA (2254A), United
States Environmental Protection Agency, Ariel Rios Building, 1200 Pennsylvania
Avenue N.W., Washington, DC 20460.
Subp. 3.
Rail and water shipment
requirements.
If a facility receives hazardous waste from a rail or water
bulk shipment transporter and the waste is accompanied by a shipping paper
containing all the information required on the manifest, excluding the
identification numbers, generator's certification, and signatures, the owner or
operator, or this person's agent, shall do all of the following:
A. Sign and date each copy of the manifest or
shipping paper, if the manifest has not been received, to certify that the
hazardous waste covered by the manifest or shipping paper was
received.
B. Note any discrepancies
in the manifest, or in the shipping paper if the manifest has not been
received, on each copy of the manifest or shipping paper. The owner or operator
of a facility whose procedures under part
7045.0458, subpart
2, item G include waste
analysis need not perform that analysis before signing the shipping paper and
giving it to the transporter. However, part
7045.0476 requires reporting any
discrepancy discovered during later analysis.
C. Immediately give the rail or water bulk
shipment transporter at least one copy of the signed manifest, or shipping
paper if the manifest has not been received.
D. Within 30 days after the delivery, send a
copy of the signed and dated manifest, or a signed and dated copy of the
shipping paper if the manifest has not been received within 30 days of
delivery, to the generator. The generator is required under part
7045.0265 to send three copies of
the manifest to the facility when hazardous waste is sent by rail or water bulk
shipment.

a copy of the manifest and shipping paper, if signed in lieu of the manifest at

concerned countries. The original copy of the tracking document must be
maintained at the facility for at least three years from the date of

State-only wastes.
The owner or operator of a facility must determine whether
the consignment state for a shipment regulates any additional wastes, beyond
those regulated federally, as hazardous wastes under its state hazardous waste
program. The owner or operator of a facility must also determine whether the
consignment state or generator state requires the facility to submit any copies
of the manifest to these states.
