§ 50.078 NOTIFICATION OF THE DISCHARGE OF HAZARDOUS WASTE.

Eureka Zoning Code · 2026-06 edition · updated 2026-07-25 · Eureka

(A) Any industrial user who commences the discharge of hazardous waste shall notify the POTW, the EPA Regional Waste Management Division Director, and state hazardous waste authorities in writing of any discharge into the POTW of a substance which, if otherwise disposed of, would be a hazardous waste under 40 CFR Part 261. Such notification must include the names of the hazardous waste as set forth in 40 CFR Part 261, the EPA hazardous waste number, and the type of discharge (continuous, batch, or other). If the industrial user discharges more than ten kilograms of such waste per calendar month to the POTW, the notification shall also contain the following information to the extent information is known and readily available to the industrial users an identification of the hazardous constituents contained in the wastes, an estimation of the mass of constituents in the wastestream expected to be discharged during the following 12 months. All notifications must take place no later than 30 days after the discharge commences. Any notification under this division (A) need be submitted only once for each hazardous waste discharged. However, notifications of changed discharges must be submitted under § 50.074 of this chapter. The notification requirement in this section does not apply to pollutants already reported under the self-monitoring requirements of §§ 50.070, 50.072 and 50.073 of this chapter.

(B) In the case of any new regulations under Section 3001 of RCRA identifying additional characteristics of hazardous waste or listing any additional substance as a hazardous waste, the industrial user must notify the POTW, the EPA Regional Waste Management Waste Division Director, and state hazardous waste authorities of the discharge of such substance within 90 days of the effective date of such regulations.

(C) In the case of any notification made under this section, the industrial user shall certify that it has a program in place to reduce the volume and toxicity of hazardous wastes generated to the degree it has determined to be economically practical.

(D) This provision does not create a right to discharge any substance not otherwise permitted to be discharged by this chapter, a permit issued thereunder, or any applicable federal or state law.
