			 unplanned sudden or non-sudden release of hazardous waste or hazardous waste
			 constituents to air, soil, or surface water.

			 submitted to the local emergency planning committee, as
			 appropriate.
(B)
								A large quantity generator that first becomes subject
			 to these provisions after the first effective date of this rule or a large
			 quantity generator that is otherwise amending the generator's contingency plan
			 shall at that time submit a quick reference guide of the contingency plan to
			 the local emergency responders identified at paragraph (A) of this rule or, as
			 appropriate, the local emergency planning committee. The quick reference guide
			 shall include all of the following elements:
(1)
									The types or
			 names of hazardous wastes in layman's terms and the associated hazard
			 associated with each hazardous waste present at any one time (e.g., toxic paint
			 wastes, spent ignitable solvent, corrosive acid).
(2)
									The estimated
			 maximum amount of each hazardous waste that may be present at any one
			 time.
(3)
									The identification of any hazardous wastes where
			 exposure would require unique or special treatment by medical or hospital
			 staff.
(4)
									A map of the facility showing where hazardous wastes
			 are generated, accumulated, and treated and routes for accessing these
			 wastes.
(5)
									A street map of the facility in relation to surrounding

(A)
								The owner or

			 waste subject to 40 C.F.R. Part 262 subpart H from a foreign source shall
			 comply with
			 40 C.F.R.
			 264.12(a).
[Comment: The exercise of foreign
				relations and international commerce powers is reserved to the federal
				government under the Constitution. These responsibilities are not delegable to
				the states. Therefore, the importation and exportation of hazardous waste into
				and out of the United States is solely regulated by the federal
				government.]
(B)
								The owner or operator of a facility that receives
			 hazardous waste from an off-site source (except where the owner or operator is
			 also the generator) shall inform the generator in writing that the owner or
			 operator of the receiving facility has the appropriate permits for, and shall
			 accept, the waste the generator is shipping. The owner or operator shall keep a
			 copy of this written notice as part of the operating record.
(C)
								Before
			 transferring ownership or operation of a facility during the facility's
			 operating life, or of a disposal facility during the post-closure care period,
			 the owner or operator shall notify the new owner or operator in writing of the
			 requirements of rules
			 3745-50-40

(1) Before an owner or
			 operator treats, stores, or disposes of any hazardous wastes, or nonhazardous
			 wastes if applicable under paragraph (D) of rule
			 3745-55-13 of the Administrative
			 Code, the owner or operator shall obtain a detailed chemical and physical
			 analysis of a representative sample of the wastes. At a minimum, this analysis
			 shall contain all the information which shall be known to treat, store, or
			 dispose of the waste in accordance with Chapters
			 3745-54 to
			 3745-57,
			 3745-205, and
			 3745-270 of the Administrative
			 Code.
(2) The analysis may include
			 data developed under Chapter 3745-51 of the Administrative Code and existing
			 published or documented data on the hazardous waste or on hazardous waste
			 generated from similar processes.
[Comment: For example, the facility's records of analyses
				performed on the waste before April 15, 1981, or studies conducted on hazardous
				waste generated from processes similar to that which generated the waste to be
				managed at the facility, may be included in the data base required to comply
				with paragraph (A)(1) of this rule. The owner or operator of an off-site
				facility may arrange for the generator of the hazardous waste to supply part of
				the information required by paragraph (A)(1) of this rule, except as otherwise
				specified in paragraphs (B) and (C) of rule
				3745-270-07 of the
				Administrative Code. If the generator does not supply the information, and the
				owner or operator chooses to accept a hazardous waste, the owner or operator is
				responsible for obtaining the information required to comply with this
				rule.]
(3) The analysis
			 shall be repeated as necessary to ensure that the analysis is accurate and up
			 to date. At a minimum, the analysis shall be repeated:
(a) When the owner or operator is notified,
			 or has reason to believe, that the process or operation generating the
			 hazardous waste, or nonhazardous waste if applicable under paragraph (D) of
			 rule 3745-55-13 of the Administrative
			 Code, has changed; and
(b) For
			 off-site facilities, when the results of the inspection required in paragraph
			 (A)(4) of this rule indicate that the hazardous waste received at the facility
			 does not match the waste designated on the accompanying manifest or shipping
			 paper.
(4) The owner or
			 operator of an off-site facility shall inspect and, if necessary, analyze each
			 hazardous waste movement received at the facility to determine whether the
			 hazardous waste matches the identity of the waste specified on the accompanying
			 manifest or shipping paper.
