Page 28 <br /> 6 . 9 Notification of the Discharge of Hazardous Waste <br /> A. Any industrial user who commences the discharge of hazardous <br /> waste shall notify the POTW, the EPA Regional Waste <br /> Management Division Director, and State hazardous waste <br /> authorities in writing of any discharge into the POTW of any <br /> substance which, if otherwise disposed of, would be a <br /> hazardous waste under 40 CFR Part 261 . Such notification <br /> must include the name of the hazardous waste as set forth in <br /> 40 CFR Part 261, the EPA hazardous waste number, and the <br /> type of discharge (continuous, batch, or other) . If the <br /> industrial user discharges more than 100 kilograms of such <br /> waste per calendar month to the POTW, the notification shall <br /> also contain the following information to the extent such <br /> information is known and readily available to the industrial <br /> user: an identification of the hazardous constituents <br /> contained in the wastes, an estimation of the mass and <br /> concentration of such constituents in the wastestream <br /> discharged during that calendar month, and an estimation of <br /> the mass of constituents in the wastestream expected to be <br /> discharged during the following twelve ( 12 ) months. All <br /> notifications must take place no later than 180 days after <br /> the discharge commences . Any notification under this <br /> paragraph need be submitted only once for each hazardous <br /> waste discharged. However, notifications of changed <br /> discharges must be submitted under Section 6 .5, above. The <br /> • notification requirement in this section does not apply to <br /> pollutants already reported under the self-monitoring <br /> requirements of Sections 6 . 1 , 6 . 3 , and 6 .4 , above. <br /> B. Dischargers are exempt from the requirements of paragraph <br /> A of this section during a calendar month in which they <br /> discharge no more than fifteen ( 15 ) kilograms of hazardous <br /> wastes, unless the wastes are acute hazardous wastes as <br /> specified in 40 CFR 261 . 30 (d) and 261 . 33 (e) . Discharge of <br /> more than fifteen ( 15 ) kilograms of non-acute hazardous <br /> wastes in a calendar month, or of any quantity of acute <br /> hazardous wastes as specified in 40 CFR 261 . 30 (d) and <br /> 261 . 33 (e) , requires a one-time notification. <br /> Subsequent months during which the industrial user <br /> discharges more than such quantities of any hazardous waste <br /> do not require additional notification. <br /> C. In the case of any new regulations under Section 3001 of <br /> RCRA identifying additional characteristics of hazardous <br /> waste or listing any additional substance as a hazardous <br /> waste, the industrial user must notify the POTW, the EPA <br /> Regional Waste Management Waste Division Director, and State <br /> hazardous waste authorities of the discharge of such <br /> substance within 90 days of the effective date of such <br /> regulation. <br /> 0 <br />
