A. In order to
				  adequately monitor the movement and disposal of E and P Waste, every shipment
				  of E and P Waste transported to a commercial facility or transfer station shall
				  be accompanied by a manifest entitled "E and P Waste Shipping Control Ticket."
				  It is expressly forbidden to transport or accept E and P Waste without a
				  properly completed manifest form, with the following exception: commercial
				  facilities and transfer stations shall be allowed to accept E and P Waste when
				  the Public Service Commission Permit Code Box found in Part II of the E and P
				  Waste Shipping Control Ticket is either empty or improperly completed, so long
				  as the remainder of the manifest, including the remainder of Part II, is
				  properly completed.
B. For
				  companies who do not possess an Office of Conservation operator code number,
				  Form UIC-23 (or latest revision) must be approved prior to transporting E and P
				  Waste (including Waste Type 99) to a commercial facility or transfer
				  station.
C. For those generators
				  who do possess an operator code number, authorization must be obtained prior to
				  transporting Waste Type 99 to a commercial facility or transfer
				  station.
D. At the time of
				  transport, the generator shall initiate the manifest by completing and signing
				  Part I. After the transporter completes and signs Part II, the generator shall
				  retain Generator Copy No. 1 (green) for his files. All other copies shall
				  accompany the E and P Waste shipment.
E. Upon delivery of the E and P Waste, the
				  commercial facility or transfer station shall complete and sign Part III of the
				  manifest. The transporter shall then retain the transporter's copy (pink) for
				  his files.
F. Upon completion of
				  the manifest, the commercial facility or transfer station operator shall mail
				  Generator Copy No. 2 to the generator.
G. The original manifest for each load of E
				  and P Waste received must be retained by the commercial facility or transfer
				  station operator and stored in a secure and accurate filing system. In order to
				  be available for review during site inspections, the manifests for the current
				  months E and P Waste receipts and the prior months E and P Waste receipts must
				  be maintained at the waste disposal facility (commercial facility or transfer
				  station site) where the E and P Waste (and the manifest) was received
				  (destination of the waste).
H.
				  Original manifests must be retained for a period of not less than three years
				  in a manner acceptable to the Commissioner of Conservation and made available
				  for review or submitted to the Office of Conservation upon request.
I. The generator and transporter operator
				  shall maintain file copies of completed manifests for a period of not less than
				  three years.
J. Oil and gas,
				  commercial facility, and transfer station operators who transport E and P Waste
				  out-of-state to a permitted disposal facility or receive E and P Waste from
				  out-of-state must comply with the manifest system requirements of this
				  Section.
K. A monthly report of E
				  and P Waste receipts shall be completed by each commercial facility, transfer
				  station or DEQ permitted facility as defined by LAC 33:V and VII (that receives
				  E and P Waste) on Form UIC-19, or latest revision. The original hard copy or
				  original electronic copy Form UIC-19 monthly report(s) must be received by the
				  Office of Conservation on or before 15 days of the end of each month. If
				  delivered on the 15th day, the subject report(s) must be received by the Office
				  of Conservation before the close of business, i.e., no later than 4:30 p.m. In
				  the event that the 15th day of any given month falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or
				  state holiday, the reporting deadline shall be the following regularly
				  scheduled business day, before the close of business.
L. A commercial facility or transfer station
				  shall forward, by facsimile, a copy of any manifest accepted with an empty or
				  improperly completed Public Service Permit Code Box to the Office of
				  Conservation within 24 hours of its receipt. The commercial facility or
				  transfer station shall mail the manifest to the Office of Conservation,
				  immediately following its delivery via facsimile.
