(j) [Reserved]

(k) [Reserved]

(l) The laboratories owned by an eligible academic entity that chooses to be subject to the requirements of 335-14-3-.12 are not subject to ("laboratory" and "eligible academic entity" shall have the meaning as defined in 335-14-1-.02) :

1. The independent requirements of 335-14-3-.01(2) or 335-14-3-.01(5), for large quantity generators and small quantity generators, except as provided in 335-14-3-.12, and

2. The conditions of 335-14-3-.01(4), for very small quantity generators, except as provided in 335-14-3-.12.

[Note: A generator who treats, stores, or disposes of hazardous waste on-site must comply with the applicable standards and permit requirements set forth in Chapters 335-14-5, 335-14-6, 335-14-7, 335-14-8, and 335-14-9.]

(m) All reverse distributors (as defined in 335-14-1-.02) are subject to 335-14-7-.16 for the management of hazardous waste pharmaceuticals in lieu of 335-14-3.

(n) Each healthcare facility (as defined 335-14-1-.02) must determine whether it is subject to 335-14-7-.16 for the management of hazardous waste pharmaceuticals, based on the total hazardous waste it generates per calendar month (including both hazardous waste pharmaceuticals and nonpharmaceutical hazardous waste). A healthcare facility that generates more than 100 kg (220 pounds) of hazardous waste per calendar month, or more than 1 kg (2.2 pounds) of acute hazardous waste per calendar month, or more than 100 kg (220 pounds) per calendar month of any residue or contaminated soil, water, or other debris, resulting from the clean-up of a spill, into or on any land or water, of any acute hazardous wastes listed in 335-14-2-.04(2) or 335-14-2-.04(4), is subject to 335-14-7-.16 for the management of hazardous waste pharmaceuticals in lieu of 335-14-3. A healthcare facility that is a very small quantity generator when counting all of its hazardous waste, including both its hazardous waste pharmaceuticals and its non-pharmaceutical hazardous waste, remains subject to 335-14-3-.01(4) and is not subject to 335-14-7-.16, except for 335-14-7-.16(5) and (7) and the optional provisions of 335-14-7-.16(4).

(o) The generators of other waste destined for disposal at commercial hazardous waste disposal facilities located in the State of Alabama must only comply with 335-14-3-.08.

(2)Hazardous waste determination and recordkeeping. A person who generates a solid waste, as defined in 335-14-2-.01(2), must make an accurate determination as to whether that waste is a hazardous waste in order to ensure wastes are properly managed according to applicable AHWMMA regulations. A hazardous waste determination is made using the following steps:

(a) The hazardous waste determination for each solid waste must be made at the point of waste generation, before any dilution, mixing, or other alteration of the waste occurs, and at any time in the course of its management that it has, or may have, changed its properties as a result of exposure to the environment or other factors that may change the properties of the waste such that the AHWMMA classification of the waste may change.

(b) A person must determine whether the solid waste is excluded from regulation under 335-14-2-.01(4).

(c) If the waste is not excluded under 335-14-2-.01(4), the person must then use knowledge of the waste to determine whether the waste meets any of the listing descriptions under 335-14-2-.04. Acceptable knowledge that may be used in making an accurate determination as to whether the waste is listed may include waste origin, composition, the process producing the waste, feedstock, and other reliable and relevant information. If the waste is listed, the person may file a delisting petition in accordance with 335-14-1-.03(2) to demonstrate to the Department that the waste from this particular site or operation is not a hazardous waste.

(d) A person must also determine whether the waste exhibits one or more hazardous characteristics as identified in 335-14-2-.03 by following 335-14-3-.01(2)(d)1., 335-14-3-.01(2)(d)2., or a combination of both.

1. The person must apply knowledge of the hazard characteristic of the waste in light of the materials or the processes used to generate the waste. Acceptable knowledge may include process knowledge (e.g., information about chemical feedstocks and other inputs to the production process); knowledge of products, byproducts, and intermediates produced by the manufacturing process; chemical or physical characterization of wastes; information on the chemical and physical properties of the chemicals used or produced by the process or otherwise contained in the waste; testing that illustrates the properties of the waste; or other reliable and relevant information about the properties of the waste or its constituents. A test other than a test method set forth in 335-14-2-.03, or an equivalent test method approved under 335-14-1-.03, may be used as part of a person's knowledge to determine whether a solid waste exhibits a characteristic of hazardous waste. However, such tests do not, by themselves, provide definitive results. Persons testing their waste must obtain a representative sample of the waste for the testing, as defined in 335-14-1-.02.

2. When available knowledge is inadequate to make an accurate determination, the person must test the waste according to the applicable methods set forth in 335-14-2-.03 or according to an equivalent method approved by the Department under 335-14-1-.03 and in accordance with the following:

(i) Persons testing their waste must obtain a representative sample of the waste for the testing, as defined in 335-14-1-.02.

(ii) Where a test method is specified in 335-14-2-.03, the results of the regulatory test, when properly performed, are definitive for determining the regulatory status of the waste.

(e) If the waste is determined to be hazardous, the generator must refer to Chapters 335-14-2, 335-14-5, 335-14-6, 335-14-7, 335-14-9, and 335-14-11 for possible exclusions or restrictions pertaining to management of the specific waste.

(f)Recordkeeping for small and large quantity generators.

1. A small or large quantity generator must maintain records supporting its hazardous waste determinations, including records that identify whether a solid waste is a hazardous waste under 335-14-2-.01(3).

2. Records must be maintained for at least three years from the date that the waste was last sent to on-site or off-site treatment, storage, or disposal. These records must comprise the generator's knowledge of the waste and support the generator's determination in accordance with 335-14-3-.01(2)(c) and (d).

3. The records must include, but are not limited to, the following types of information:

(i) The results of any tests, sampling, waste analyses, or other determinations made in accordance with this section;

(ii) Records documenting the tests, sampling, and analytical methods used to demonstrate the validity and relevance of such tests;

(iii) Records consulted in order to determine the process by which the waste was generated, the composition of the waste, and the properties of the waste; and

(iv) Records which explain the knowledge basis for the generator's determination in accordance with 335-14-3-.01(2)(d)(1). The periods of record retention referred to in this section are extended automatically during the course of any unresolved enforcement action regarding the regulated activity or as requested by the Department.

4. In addition to the records described in 335-14-3-.01(2)(f)1. through 3., a small or large quantity generator must maintain sufficient documentation to demonstrate the quantity of hazardous waste generated each calendar month. This documentation must be retained on-site for at least three years from the date the waste was generated.

(g)Identifying hazardous waste numbers for small and large quantity generators. If the waste is determined to be hazardous, small quantity generators and large quantity generators must identify all applicable EPA hazardous waste numbers (EPA hazardous waste codes) in 335-14-2-.03 and .04. Prior to shipping the waste off site, the generator also must mark its containers with all applicable EPA hazardous waste numbers (EPA hazardous waste codes) according to 335-14-3-.03(3).

(3)Generator Category Determination. A generator must determine its generator category. A generator's category is based on the amount of hazardous waste generated each month and may change from month to month. This section sets forth procedures to determine whether a generator is a very small quantity generator, a small quantity generator, or a large quantity generator for a particular month, as defined in 335-14-1-.02.

(a)Generators of either acute hazardous waste or non-acute hazardous waste. A generator who either generates acute hazardous waste or non-acute hazardous waste in a calendar month shall determine its generator category for that month by doing the following:

1. Counting the total amount of hazardous waste generated in the calendar month;

2. Subtracting from the total any amounts of waste exempt from counting as described in 335-14-3-.01(3)(c) and (d); and

3. Determining the resulting generator category for the hazardous waste generated using Table 1.

(b)Generators of both acute and non-acute hazardous wastes. A generator who generates both acute hazardous waste and nonacute hazardous waste in the same calendar month shall determine its generator category for that month by doing the following:

1. Counting separately the total amount of acute hazardous waste and the total amount of non-acute hazardous waste generated in the calendar month;

2. Subtracting from each total any amounts of waste exempt from counting as described in 335-14-3-.01(3)(c) and (d);

3. Determining separately the resulting generator categories for the quantities of acute and non-acute hazardous waste generated using Table 1; and

4. Comparing the resulting generator categories from 335-14-3-.01(3)(b)3. and applying the more stringent generator category to the accumulation and management of both non-acute hazardous waste and acute hazardous waste generated for that month.

Table 1

Generator Categories Based on Quantity of Waste Generated in a Calendar Month

Quantity of acute hazardous waste generated in a calendar month	Quantity of nonacute hazardous waste generated in a calendar month	Quantity of residues from a cleanup of acute hazardous waste generated in a calendar month	Generator category
> 1 kg	Any amount	Any amount	Large quantity generator.
Any amount	[GREATER THAN EQUAL TO] 1,000 kg	Any amount	Large quantity generator.
Any amount	Any amount	>100 kg	Large quantity generator.
[LESS THAN EQUAL TO] 1 kg	> 100 kg and < 1,000 kg	[LESS THAN EQUAL TO] 100 kg	Small quantity generator.
[LESS THAN EQUAL TO] 1 kg	[LESS THAN EQUAL TO] 100 kg	[LESS THAN EQUAL TO] 100 kg	Very small quantity generator.

(c) When making the monthly quantity-based determinations required by 335-14-3-.01(3), the generator must include all hazardous waste that it generates, except hazardous waste that:

1. Is exempt from regulation under 335-14-2-.01(4)(c) through (f), 335-14-2-.01(6)(a)3., 335-14-2-.01(7)(a)1., or 335-14-2-.01(8);

2. Is managed immediately upon generation only in on-site elementary neutralization units, wastewater treatment units, or totally enclosed treatment facilities as defined in 335-14-1-.02;

3. Is recycled, without prior storage or accumulation, only in an on-site process subject to regulation under 335-14-2-.01 (6(c)2;

4. Is used oil managed under the requirements of 335-2-.01(6)(a)4. and 335-14-17;

5. Is spent lead-acid batteries managed under the requirements of 335-14-7-.07;

6. Is universal waste managed under 335-14-2-.01(9) and 335-14-11;

7. Is a hazardous waste that is an unused commercial chemical product (listed in 335-14-2-.04 or exhibiting one or more characteristics in 335-14-2-.03) that is generated solely as a result of a laboratory clean-out conducted at an eligible academic entity, as defined in 335-14-1-.02(1)(a), pursuant to 335-14-3-.12(14). For the purposes of this provision, the term eligible academic entity shall have the meaning as defined in 335-14-1-.02(1)(a); or

8. Is managed as part of an episodic event in compliance with the conditions of 335-14-3-.13.

9. Is a hazardous waste pharmaceutical, as defined in 335-14-1-.02, that is subject to or managed in accordance with 335-14-7-.16 or is a hazardous waste pharmaceutical that is also a Drug Enforcement Administration controlled substance and is conditionally exempt under 335-14-7-.16(6).

(d) In determining the quantity of hazardous waste generated in a calendar month, a generator need not include:

1. Hazardous waste when it is removed from on-site accumulation, so long as the hazardous waste was previously counted once;

2. Hazardous waste generated by on-site treatment (including reclamation) of the generator's hazardous waste, so long as the hazardous waste that is treated was previously counted once; and

3. Hazardous waste spent materials that are generated, reclaimed, and subsequently reused on site, so long as such spent materials have been previously counted once.

(e) Based on the generator category as determined under 335-14-3-.01(3), the generator must meet the applicable independent requirements listed in 335-14-3-.01(1). A generator's category also determines which of the provisions of 335-14-3-.01(4) through (7) must be met to obtain an exemption from the storage facility permit, interim status, and operating requirements when accumulating hazardous waste.

(f)Mixing hazardous wastes with solid wastes.

1.Very small quantity generator wastes.

(i) Hazardous wastes generated by a very small quantity generator may be mixed with solid wastes. Very small quantity generators may mix a portion or all of its hazardous waste with solid waste and remain subject to 335-14-3-.01(4) even though the resultant mixture exceeds the quantity limits identified in the definition of very small quantity generator under 335-14-1-.02, unless the mixture exhibits one or more of the characteristics of hazardous waste identified in 335-14-2-.03.

(ii) If the resulting mixture exhibits a characteristic of hazardous waste, this resultant mixture is a newly-generated hazardous waste. The very small quantity generator must count both the resultant mixture amount plus the other hazardous waste generated in the calendar month to determine whether the total quantity exceeds the very small quantity generator calendar month quantity limits identified in the definition of generator categories under 335-14-1-.02. If so, to remain exempt from the permitting, interim status, and operating standards, the very small quantity generator must meet the conditions for exemption applicable to either a small quantity generator or a large quantity generator. The very small quantity generator must also comply with the applicable independent requirements for either a small quantity generator or a large quantity generator.

(iii) If a very small quantity generator's wastes are mixed with used oil, the mixture is subject to 335-14-17. Any material produced from such a mixture by processing, blending, or other treatment is also subject to the requirements of 335-14-17.

2.Small quantity generator and large quantity generator wastes.

(i) Hazardous wastes generated by a small quantity generator or large quantity generator may be mixed with solid waste. These mixtures are subject to the following: the mixture rule in 335-14-2-.01(3)(a)2. (iv), (b)2. and (b)3., and (g)2.(i); the prohibition of dilution rule at 335-14-9-.01(3); the land disposal restriction requirements of 335-14-9-.04(1) if a characteristic hazardous waste is mixed with a solid waste so that it no longer exhibits the hazardous characteristic; and the hazardous waste determination requirement at 335-14-3-.01(2).

(ii) If the resulting mixture is found to be a hazardous waste, this resultant mixture is a newly-generated hazardous waste. A small quantity generator must count both the resultant mixture amount plus the other hazardous waste generated in the calendar month to determine whether the total quantity exceeds the small quantity generator calendar monthly quantity limits identified in the definition of generator categories under 335-14-1-.02. If so, to remain exempt from the permitting, interim status, and operating standards, the small quantity generator must meet the conditions for exemption applicable to a large quantity generator. The small quantity generator must also comply with the applicable independent requirements for a large quantity generator.

(4)Conditions for exemption for a very small quantity generator.

(a) Provided that the very small quantity generator meets all the conditions for exemption listed in this section, hazardous waste generated by the very small quantity generator is not subject to the requirements of 335-14-3 [except 335-14-3-.01(1) through (4)] through 335-14-9, and the very small quantity generator may accumulate hazardous waste on site without complying with such requirements. The conditions for exemption are as follows:

(b) The placement of bulk or non-containerized liquid hazardous waste or hazardous waste containing free liquids (whether or not sorbents have been added) in any landfill is prohibited.

(c) A very small quantity generator experiencing an episodic event may generate and accumulate hazardous waste in accordance with 335-14-3-.13 in lieu of 335-14-3-.01(5) -(7).

(d) A very small quantity generator is not required to have an EPA ID number, but may obtain one if desired by complying with the requirements of 335-14-3-.01(8)(d). A very small quantity generator with an existing and active EPA ID number is required to submit ADEM Form 8700-12 annually or deactivate the number by formally notifying the Department in accordance with the requirements of 335-14-3-.01(8)(d)4.

(5)Satellite accumulation area requirements for small and large quantity generators.

(a) A generator may accumulate as much as 55 gallons of nonacute hazardous waste and/or either one quart of liquid acute hazardous waste listed in 335-14-2-.04(2) or 335-14-2-.04(4)(e) or 1 kg (2.2 lbs) of solid acute hazardous waste listed in 335-14-2-.04(2) or 335-14-2-.04(4)(e) in containers at or near any point of generation where wastes initially accumulate which is under the control of the operator of the process generating the waste, without a permit or interim status and without complying with the requirements of 335-14-5 through 335-14-8, provided that all of the conditions for exemption in this section are met. A generator may comply with the conditions for exemption in this section instead of complying with the conditions for exemption in 335-14-3-.01(6)(b) or (7)(a), except as required in 335-14-3-.01(5)(a)7. through 8. The conditions for exemption for satellite accumulation are:

1. If a container holding hazardous waste is not in good condition, or if it begins to leak, the generator must immediately transfer the hazardous waste from this container to a container that is in good condition and does not leak, or immediately transfer and manage the waste in a central accumulation area operated in compliance with 335-14-3-.01(6)(b) or (7)(a).

VII. The conditions of the unit(s) at the time of the notification; and

VIII. Plans for hazardous waste determinations on, and proper management and disposal of, stored wastes, unit components, investigation derived wastes, and decontamination wastes.

(II)After closure. Within 45 Days after completion of closure, the owner or operator must provide a written report documenting the procedures used to comply with the closure performance standards of 335-14-3-.01(7)(a)8.(ii) or (iii). This report shall not be deemed complete without payment of the fee specified in Chapter 335-1-6 of the Department's Administrative Code. If the facility cannot meet the closure performance standards of 335-14-3-.01(7)(a)8.(ii) or (iii), the large quantity generator must notify the Department in writing that it will close as a landfill under 335-14-6-.14(11) in the case of a container, tank or containment building unit(s), or for a facility with drip pads, notify that it will close under the standards of 335-14-6-.23(6).

(III) A large quantity generator may request additional time to clean close, but it must notify the Department in writing within 75 days after the date provided in 335-14-3-.01(7)(a)8. (i) a. to request an extension and provide an explanation as to why the additional time is required.

(ii)Closure performance standards for container, tank systems, and containment building waste accumulation units.

(I) At closure, the large quantity generator must close the waste accumulation unit or facility in a manner that:

I. Minimizes the need for further maintenance by controlling, minimizing, or eliminating, to the extent necessary to protect human health and the environment, the post-closure escape of hazardous waste, hazardous constituents, leachate, contaminated run-off, or hazardous waste decomposition products to the ground or surface waters or to the atmosphere,

II. Removes or decontaminates all contaminated equipment, structures and soil and any remaining hazardous waste residues from waste accumulation units including containment system components (pads, liners, etc.), contaminated soils and subsoils, bases, and structures and equipment contaminated with waste, unless 335-14-2-.01(3)(d) applies.

III. Any hazardous waste generated in the process of closing either the generator's facility or unit(s) accumulating hazardous waste must be managed in accordance with all applicable standards of 335-14-3, 335-14-4, 335-14-6 and 335-14-9, including removing any hazardous waste contained in these units within 90 days of generating it and managing these wastes in a permitted hazardous waste treatment, storage and disposal facility or interim status facility.

IV. If the generator demonstrates that any contaminated soils and wastes cannot be practicably removed or decontaminated as required in 335-14-3-.01(7)(a)8.(ii) a.(II), then the waste accumulation unit is considered to be a landfill and the generator must close the waste accumulation unit and perform post-closure care in accordance 335-14-6-.14(11). In addition, for the purposes of closure, post-closure, and financial responsibility, such a waste accumulation unit is then considered to be a landfill, and the generator must meet all of the requirements for landfills specified in 335-14-6-.07 and .08.

(iii)Closure performance standards for drip pad waste accumulation units. At closure, the generator must comply with the closure requirements of 335-14-3-.01(7)(a)8.(i) and 335-14-3-.01(7)(a)8.(ii) a.(I) and (III), and 335-14-6-.23(6)(a) and (b).

(iv) The closure requirements of 335-14-3-.01(7)(a)8. do not apply to satellite accumulation areas.

9.Land disposal restrictions. The large quantity generator must comply with all applicable requirements under 335-14-9.

10.Site security. The large quantity generator must prevent the unknowing entry, and minimize the possibility for the unauthorized entry, of persons or livestock into the central accumulation area, unless physical contact with the waste, structures, or equipment will not injure unknowing or unauthorized persons or livestock which may enter the central accumulation area, and disturbance of the waste or equipment, by the unknowing or unauthorized entry of persons or livestock into the central accumulation area will not cause a violation of the requirements of 335-14-3.

(i) Unless exempt under 335-14-3-.01(7)(a)10., a large quantity generator must have:

1. A 24-hour surveillance system (e.g., television monitoring or surveillance by guards or facility personnel) which continuously monitors and controls entry onto the active portion of the facility; or

2. An artificial or natural barrier (e.g., a fence in good repair or a fence combined with a cliff), which completely surrounds the active portion of the facility, and a means to control entry, at all times, through the gates or other entrances to the central accumulation area (e.g., an attendant, television monitors, locked entrance, or controlled roadway access to the facility).

(ii) Unless exempt under 335-14-3-.01(7)(a)10., a sign with the legend, "Danger--Unauthorized Personnel Keep Out", must be posted at each entrance to the central accumulation area, and at other locations, in sufficient numbers to be seen from any approach. The legend must be written in English and in any other language predominant in the workplace and the area surrounding the facility, and must be legible from a distance of at least 25 feet. Existing signs with a legend other than "Danger-Unauthorized Personnel Keep Out" may be used if the legend on the sign indicates that only authorized personnel are allowed to enter the active portion, and that entry onto the active portion can be dangerous.

(b)Accumulation time limit extension. A large quantity generator who accumulates hazardous waste for more than 90 days is subject to the requirements of 335-14-5 through 9, unless it has been granted an extension to the 90-day period. Such extension may be granted by the Department if hazardous wastes must remain on site for longer than 90 days due to unforeseen, temporary, and uncontrollable circumstances. An extension of up to 30 days may be granted at the discretion of the Department on a case-by-case basis.

(c)Accumulation of F006. A large quantity generator who also generates wastewater treatment sludges from electroplating operations that meet the listing description for the EPA hazardous waste number F006, may accumulate F006 waste on site for more than 90 days, but not more than 180 days without being subject to 335-14-5 through 8, provided that it complies with all of the following additional conditions for exemption:

1. The large quantity generator has implemented pollution prevention practices that reduce the amount of any hazardous substances, pollutants, or contaminants entering F006 or otherwise released to the environment prior to its recycling;

2. The F006 waste is legitimately recycled through metals recovery;

3. No more than 20,000 kilograms of F006 waste is accumulated on site at any one time; and

(iv) While being accumulated on site, each container and tank is labeled or marked clearly with:

(I) The words "Hazardous Waste" and the EPA hazardous waste number; and

(II) An indication of the hazards of the contents (examples include, but are not limited to, the applicable hazardous waste characteristic(s) (i.e., ignitable, corrosive, reactive, toxic); hazard communication consistent with the Department of Transportation requirements at 49 CFR part 172 subpart E (labeling) or subpart F (placarding); a hazard statement or pictogram consistent with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration Hazard Communication Standard at 29 CFR 1910.1200; or a chemical hazard label consistent with the National Fire Protection Association code 704).

(v) The large quantity generator complies with the requirements in 335-14-3-.01(7)(a)6. and 7.

(d)F006 transported over 200 miles. A large quantity generator who also generates wastewater treatment sludges from electroplating operations that meet the listing description for the EPA hazardous waste number F006, and who must transport this waste, or offer this waste for transportation, over a distance of 200 miles or more for offsite metals recovery, may accumulate F006 waste on site for more than 90 days, but not more than 270 days without being subject to 335-14-5 through 335-14-8, if the large quantity generator complies with all of the conditions for exemption of 335-14-3-.01(7)(c)1. through 4.

(e)F006 accumulation time extension. A large quantity generator accumulating F006 in accordance with 335-14-3-.01(7)(c) and (d) who accumulates F006 waste on site for more than 180 days (or for more than 270 days if the generator must transport this waste, or offer this waste for transportation, over a distance of 200 miles or more), or who accumulates more than 20,000 kilograms of F006 waste on site is an operator of a storage facility and is subject to the requirements of 335-14-5 through 335-14-8, unless the generator has been granted an extension to the 180-day (or 270-day if applicable) period or an exception to the 20,000 kilogram accumulation limit. Such extensions and exceptions may be granted by the Department if F006 waste must remain on site for longer than 180 days (or 270 days if applicable) or if more than 20,000 kilograms of F006 waste must remain on site due to unforeseen, temporary, and uncontrollable circumstances. An extension of up to 30 days or an exception to the accumulation limit may be granted at the discretion of the Department on a case-by-case basis.

(f)Consolidation of hazardous waste received from very small quantity generators. Large quantity generators may accumulate on site hazardous waste received from very small quantity generators under control of the same person (as defined in 335-14-1-.02), without a storage permit or interim status and without complying with the requirements of 335-14-5 through 335-14-9, provided that they comply with the following conditions. "Control" means the power to direct the policies of the generator, whether by the ownership of stock, voting rights, or otherwise, except that contractors who operate generator facilities on behalf of a different person shall not be deemed to "control" such generators.

1. The large quantity generator notifies the Department at least thirty (30) days prior to receiving the first shipment from a very small quantity generator(s) using ADEM Form 8700-12; and

(i) Identifies on the form the name(s) and site address(es) for the very small quantity generator(s) as well as the name and business telephone number for a contact person for the very small quantity generator(s); and

(ii) Submits an updated ADEM Form 8700-12 within 30 days after a change in the name or site address for the very small quantity generator.

2. The large quantity generator maintains records of shipments for three years from the date the hazardous waste was received from the very small quantity generator. These records must identify the name, site address, and contact information for the very small quantity generator and include a description of the hazardous waste received, including the quantity and the date the waste was received.

3. The large quantity generator complies with the independent requirements identified in 335-14-3-.01(1)(a)1.(iii) and the conditions for exemption in 335-14-3-.01(7) for all hazardous waste received from a very small quantity generator. For purposes of the labeling and marking regulations in 335-14-3-.01(7)(a)5., the large quantity generator must label the container or unit with the date accumulation started (i.e., the date the hazardous waste was received from the very small quantity generator). If the large quantity generator is consolidating incoming hazardous waste from a very small quantity generator with either its own hazardous waste or with hazardous waste from other very small quantity generators, the large quantity generator must label each container or unit with the earliest date any hazardous waste in the container was accumulated on site.

(g)Rejected load. A large quantity generator who sends a shipment of hazardous waste to a designated facility with the understanding that the designated facility can accept and manage the waste and later receives that shipment back as a rejected load or residue in accordance with the manifest discrepancy provisions of 335-14-5-.05(3) or 335-14-6-.05(3) may accumulate the returned waste on site in accordance with 335-14-3-.01(7)(a) and (b). Upon receipt of the returned shipment, the generator must:

1. Sign Item 18c of the manifest, if the transporter returned the shipment using the original manifest; or

2. Sign Item 20 of the manifest, if the transporter returned the shipment using a new manifest.

(8)EPA identification numbers and re-notification for small quantity generators and large quantity generators.

(a) A generator must not treat, store, dispose of, transport, or offer for transportation, hazardous waste without having received an EPA identification number from the Department.

(b) A generator who has not received an EPA identification number may obtain one by applying to the Department using the ADEM Form 8700-12. Upon receiving the request, the Department will assign an EPA identification number to the generator. A generator shall file a new ADEM Form 8700-12 if the generator changes physical location.

[Note: EPA identification numbers are location specific and cannot be transferred from one individual generation site to another.]

(c) A generator must not offer his hazardous waste to transporters that have not received an EPA identification number and an Alabama Hazardous Waste Transport Permit or to treatment, storage, or disposal facilities that have not received an EPA identification number and an Alabama Hazardous Waste Facility Permit or interim status pursuant to 335-14-8-.07 (or, in the case of out-of-state facilities, a permit valid in the receiving state).

(d)Annual notification of regulated waste activity and certifications of waste management.

1. A large quantity generator or small quantity generator must submit a correct and complete ADEM Form 8700-12 (including all appropriate attachment pages and fees) reflecting current waste activities to the Department annually. The Department must receive the ADEM Form 8700-12 (including all appropriate attachment pages and fees) no later than the 15th day of the specified month in the specified month schedule located at 335-14-1-.02(1)(a).

2. Except as provided by 335-14-3-.13, generators which anticipate an increase in hazardous waste generation in amounts significant enough to cause a change to a higher generator classification should notify for the higher classification during the annual notification period (i.e., if a generator typically operates as a small quantity generator, but anticipates being a large quantity generator for any period during the year, they should notify as a large quantity generator). However, if a generator chooses not to notify at the higher classification or fails to anticipate an increase in hazardous waste generation that would change their generator status, a notification must be submitted to the Department at the time of the increase.

[Note: If a generator notifies at a level higher than their actual generator status, the generator will be required to comply with all the applicable requirements of that higher generator classification. Alternatively, the generator has the option to submit multiple ADEM Form 8700-12 notifications (including all appropriate attachment pages and fees) each time their generator status changes, and comply with the requirements applicable to their actual monthly generator status.]

3. A very small quantity generator is not required to obtain an EPA ID number, but may do so by complying with 335-14-3-.01(8)(b). A very small quantity generator with an existing and active EPA ID number is required to submit ADEM Form 8700-12 annually in accordance with 335-14-3-.01(8)(d)1.

4. A very small quantity generator that has an EPA ID number and wants to stop using it for their site may send a letter to the Department requesting that the ID number be deactivated. The deactivated ID cannot be used by the generator for any purpose after that point.

[Note: The ADEM Form 8700-12, Notification of Regulated Waste Activity, is not complete without payment of all the appropriate fees specified in Chapter 335-1-6 of the ADEM Administrative Code.]

(e) A recognized trader must not arrange for import or export of hazardous waste without having received an EPA identification number from the Department.
