§ 53.067. NOTICE OF THE DISCHARGE OF HAZARDOUS WASTES.

(A)

All industrial users shall also have provisions for notifying the City (Director), the Executive Director, the EPA Regional Waste Management Division Director, the State hazardous waste authorities, and the State pretreatment authorities in writing of any discharge into the City sewer system of a substance which is a listed or characteristic waste under Section 3001 of RCRA, 40 CFR Part 261, or Chapter 62-730, F.A.C. Such notification must include the name of the hazardous waste, the EPA hazardous waste number, and the type of discharge (continuous, batch, or other). This requirement shall not apply to pollutants already reported under the self-monitoring requirements. Notification is required no later than thirty (30) days after the discharge of the listed or characteristic hazardous waste. If the industrial user discharges more than 100 kilograms of such waste per calendar month to the Treatment Works, the notification shall also contain the following information to the extent such information is known and readily available to the industrial user:

(1)

An identification of the hazardous constituents contained in the waste,

(2)

An estimation of the mass and concentration of such constituents in the waste stream discharged during that calendar month, and

(3)

An estimation of the mass of constituents in the waste stream expected to be discharged during the following twelve (12) months.

(B)

Dischargers to the sanitary sewer system are exempt from notification requirements during a calendar month in which they generate no more than fifteen (15) kilograms of hazardous wastes, unless the wastes are acute hazardous wastes, as specified in 40 CFR 261 and Chapter 62-730, F.A.C. Discharge of more than fifteen (15) kilograms of non-acute hazardous wastes in a calendar month, or of any quantity of acute hazardous wastes as specified in 40 CFR 261 and Chapter 62-730, F.A.C., requires a one-time notification. Subsequent months during which the industrial user discharges more than 15 kilograms of hazardous waste do not require additional notification.

(C)

In the case of new regulations under Section 3001 of RCRA identifying additional characteristics of hazardous waste or listing any additional substance as a hazardous waste, the industrial user must notify the Director of the discharge of such substance within ninety (90) days of the effective date of such regulations, except for the exemption in subsection (B) of this Section.

(D)

In the case of any notification made under this Section, the industrial user shall certify that it has a program in place to reduce the volume and toxicity of wastes generated to the degree it has determined to be economically practicable and that it has selected the method of treatment, storage, or disposal currently available which minimizes the present and future threat to human health and the environment.
