A. A large quantity generator who does not receive a copy of the manifest with the handwritten signature of the owner or operator of the designated facility within 35 days of the date the waste was accepted by the initial transporter shall contact the transporter and/or the owner/operator of the designated facility to determine the status of the hazardous waste.

B. A large quantity generator shall submit an exception report to the Office of Environmental Services if he has not received a copy of the manifest with the handwritten signature of the owner or operator of the designated facility within 45 days of the date the waste was accepted by the initial transporter. The exception report shall include:

1. a legible copy of the manifest for which the generator does not have confirmation of delivery; and

2. a cover letter signed by the generator or his authorized representative explaining the efforts taken to locate the hazardous waste and the results of those efforts.

C. A small quantity generator who does not receive a copy of the manifest with the handwritten signature of the owner or operator of the designated facility within 60 days of the date the waste was accepted by the initial transporter shall submit a legible copy of the manifest, with some indication that the generator has not received confirmation of delivery, to the Office of Environmental Services. The submission to the Office of Environmental Services need only be a handwritten or typed note on the manifest itself, or on an attached sheet of paper, stating that the returned manifest was not received.

D. For rejected shipments of hazardous waste or container residues contained in nonempty containers that are forwarded to an alternate facility by a designated facility using a new manifest, following the procedures of LAC 33:V.1516.C.5.a.i-vi, the generator shall comply with the requirements of Subsections A or C of this Section, as applicable, for the shipment forwarding the material from the designated facility to the alternate facility instead of for the shipment from the generator to the designated facility. For purposes of Subsections A-C of this Section for a shipment forwarding such waste to an alternate facility by a designated facility, the following conditions shall apply.

1. The copy of the manifest received by the generator shall have the handwritten signature of the owner or operator of the alternate facility in place of the signature of the owner or operator of the designated facility.

2. The 35/45/60-day time frames shall begin the date the waste was accepted by the initial transporter forwarding the hazardous waste from the designated facility to the alternate facility.
