NOTE: Additional requirements for generators appear in other rules of the Department dealing with specific aspects of hazardous waste management. See, for example, Standards for Generators of Hazardous Waste, 06-096 C.M.R. ch. 851; Land Disposal Restrictions, 06-096 C.M.R. ch. 852; Standards for Hazardous Waste Facilities, 06-096 C.M.R. ch. 854; and Licensing of Hazardous Waste Facilities, 06-096 C.M.R. ch. 856.
NOTE: Lab packs containing hazardous wastes are not exempted from this requirement.
NOTE: If a continuing transporter is used, the generator is responsible for supplying the transporter with a legible photocopy of the manifest which must contain signatures where required.
NOTE: The Designated Facility to Generator copy of the manifest is the copy signed by the generator, all transporters and the owner or operator of the designated facility which received the waste.
Thereafter, the generator shall manage the returned waste in accordance with all the generator requirements of 06-096 C.M.R. chs. 850 through 858 for the waste as if the generator had generated the waste on the date of its return.
For rejected shipments of hazardous waste or container residues contained in non-empty containers that are forwarded to an alternate facility by a designated facility with a new manifest, the generator shall comply with the applicable manifest requirements, substituting "alternate facility" for "designated facility", and using the date the waste was accepted by the initial transporter for transportation of the rejected hazardous waste shipment from the designated facility to the alternate facility to meet the timeframe requirements of Sections 7(E) and 7(G) of this Chapter for tracking, notifications and Exception Reports. For shipments of universal waste returned to the generator, the generator shall comply with the instructions for the Maine Recyclable Material Uniform Bill of Lading.
NOTE: The names and addresses of State and Federal agencies may be obtained by calling the Department at (207) 287-7688.
NOTE: If a generator uses a Maine Recyclable Material Uniform Bill of Lading and either the generator or the Department identifies any discrepancies in the UBOL or associated shipment, it is the generator's responsibility to resolve the discrepancies to the Department's satisfaction.
Copies of the Rejection Report must be provided to the transporter(s), the facility(s) that rejected the waste, and the appropriate regulatory agencies of the Generator and Destination State(s).
