Section 67100.5 - Plan FormatExcept as provided in section 67100.2(f) of these regulations, generators subject to the requirements of this article pursuant to section 67100.2(a), shall prepare a plan with sufficient detail to convey an understanding of the source reduction evaluation review and analysis performed, using narratives, photographs, illustrations, figures or data as necessary, which includes, but is not limited to, all of the following:
(a) Name and location of the site, telephone number and Identification Number.(b) Four digit SIC codes applicable to activities at the site.(c) Type of business or activity conducted at each site.(d) Length of time the company has been in business at the present site.(e) Major products manufactured or services provided and, if necessary to convey an understanding of the business, their general applications or examples of their applications or end use.(g) A general description of site operations with corresponding block diagrams focusing on quantity and type of hazardous wastes, raw materials, and final products produced at the site.(h) Identification of all routinely generated hazardous waste streams in the current reporting year which result from ongoing processes or operations that have a yearly volume, or comparable weight exceeding five percent of the total yearly volume, or comparable weight of hazardous waste generated at the site, or, for extremely hazardous waste, five percent of the total yearly volume, or comparable weight generated at the site. Similar industrial processes or institutional activities generating similar wastes (with the same California Waste Codes) shall be considered a single waste stream for purposes of this subsection.(i) All of the following information for each hazardous waste stream identified in subsection (h) of this section:(1) An estimate of the weight, in pounds of hazardous waste generated.(2) The applicable California waste code.(3) The processes, operations and activities generating the waste(s), with corresponding block diagrams to illustrate the basis of generation including a listing of all input materials which contribute to the generation of hazardous or extremely hazardous waste (this is not meant to be a mass balance).(j) An evaluation of source reduction measures available to the generator which are potentially viable. The evaluation shall consider at least all of the following approaches: (2) Operational improvement.(3) Production process changes.(4) Product reformulation.(5) Administrative steps taken to reduce hazardous waste generation including but not limited to: (B) Employee award programs;(E) Corporate or management commitment; and(F) Other programs or measures.(k) Consideration of the following factors for each measure evaluated in accordance with subsection (j) of this section (where a specific factor does not apply identify as N/A):(1) Expected change in the amount of hazardous waste generated;(2) Technical feasibility;(3) Economic evaluation: (A) Capital cost, operating cost, waste management cost;(B) Return on investment (ROI), breakdown point, avoided cost, pretax payback period, or any other economic comparison method;(4) Effects on product quality;(5) Employee health and safety implications;(6) Permits, variances, compliance schedules or applicable state local and federal agencies;(7) Releases and discharges.(l) Any pertinent information, such as waste stream constituents and concentration of constituents, needed to evaluate and implement source reduction measures.(m) A specification of, and a rationale for, the technically feasible and economically practicable source reduction measures which will be taken by the generator with respect to each hazardous waste stream identified in subsection (h) of this section. The specification should include at a minimum, a narrative description of the factors in subsection (k) of this section and also address system capacity and efficiency. Photographs, illustrations, figures or data should be used to convey an understanding of the source reduction measure in sufficient detail to allow transfer of the measure to other generators with similar processes or procedures.(n) An evaluation, and, to the extent practicable, a qualification of the effects of any source reduction measure selected in subsection (m) on emissions and discharges to air, water, or land.(o) A list of each measure considered but not selected for a detailed evaluation as a potentially viable source reduction measure. For each measure rejected, explain the generator's rationale. This list shall be supplemented for waste streams where no measures were identified with a narrative demonstrating the good faith efforts undertaken to identify measures.(p) A timetable for making reasonable and measurable progress towards implementation of the selected source reduction measures specified in subsection (m) of this section. It shall also include an implementation schedule for completing the evaluation of potentially viable source reduction measures and it shall prioritize processes and wastes for future research, development and source reduction analysis.(q) All plans prepared after January 1, 1993 shall contain a four-year numerical goal for reducing the generation of hazardous waste streams through the selected source reduction measures specified in subsection (m) of this section.Cal.
