Materials that are not solid wastes.
The following materials are not solid wastes for the purpose of this
				chapter:
a. Domestic sewage and any mixture
				of domestic sewage and other wastes that pass through a sewer system to a
				publicly owned treatment works for treatment. "Domestic sewage" means untreated
				sanitary wastes that pass through a sewer system.
b. Industrial wastewater discharges that are
				point source discharges subject to regulation under subsections 18 and 19 of
				North Dakota Century Code section
				61-28-04. (Comment: This exclusion
				applies only to the actual point source discharge. It does not exclude
				industrial wastewaters while they are being collected, stored, or treated
				before discharge, nor does it exclude sludges that are generated by industrial
				wastewater treatment.)
c.
				Irrigation return flows.
d. Source,
				special nuclear, or byproduct material as defined by the Atomic Energy Act of
				1954, as amended [ 42 U.S.C.
				2011 et seq.].
e. Materials subjected to in situ mining
				techniques which are not removed from the ground as part of the extraction
				process.
f. Pulping liquors (for
				example, black liquor) that are reclaimed in a pulping liquor recovery furnace
				and then reused in the pulping process, unless it is accumulated speculatively
				as defined in subsection 3 of section
				33-24-02-01.
g. Spent sulfuric acid used to produce virgin
				sulfuric acid, unless it is accumulated speculatively as defined in subsection
				3 of section
				33-24-02-01.
h. Secondary materials that are reclaimed and
				returned to the original process or processes in which they were generated
				where they are reused in the production process provided:
(1) Only tank storage is involved, and the
				entire process through completion of reclamation is closed by being entirely
				connected with pipes or other comparable enclosed means of
				conveyance;
(2) Reclamation does
				not involve controlled flame combustion (such as occurs in boilers, industrial
				furnaces, or incinerators);
(3) The
				secondary materials are never accumulated in such tanks for over twelve months
				without being reclaimed; and
(4)
				The reclaimed material is not used to produce a fuel, or used to produce
				products that are used in a manner constituting disposal.
i. Wood preserving:
(1) Spent wood preserving solutions that have
				been reclaimed and are reused for their original intended purpose;
				and
(2) Wastewaters from the wood
				preserving process that have been reclaimed and are reused to treat
				wood.
(3) Prior to reuse, the wood
				preserving wastewaters and spent wood preserving solutions described in
				paragraphs 1 and 2, so long as they meet all of the following conditions:
(a) The wood preserving wastewaters and spent
				wood preserving solutions are reused onsite at waterborne plants in the
				production process for their original intended purpose;
(b) Prior to reuse, the wastewaters and spent
				wood preserving solutions are managed to prevent release to either land or
				ground water or both;
(c) Any unit
				used to manage wastewaters and spent wood preserving solutions, or both, prior
				to reuse can be visually or otherwise determined to prevent such
				releases;
(d) Any drip pad used to
				manage the wastewaters and spent wood preserving solutions, or both, prior to
				reuse complies with the applicable standards in subsection 5 of section
				33-24-06-16, regardless of whether
				the plant generates a total of less than one hundred kilograms per month of
				hazardous waste; and
(e) Prior to
				operating pursuant to this exclusion, the plant owner or operator prepares a
				one-time notification stating that the plant intends to claim the exclusion,
				giving the date on which the plant intends to begin operating under the
				exclusion, and containing the following language:
"I have read the applicable regulation establishing an
				  exclusion for wood preserving wastewaters and spent wood preserving solutions
				  and understand it requires me to comply at all times with the conditions set
				  out in the regulation."
The plant must maintain a copy of that document in its onsite
				  records until closure of the facility. The exclusion applies only so long as
				  the plant meets all of the conditions. If the plant goes out of compliance with
				  any condition, it may apply to the department for reinstatement. The department
				  may reinstate the exclusion upon finding that the plant has returned to
				  compliance with all conditions and that violations are not likely to
				  recur.
j. Hazardous waste numbers K060, K087, K141,
				K142, K143, K144, K145, K147, and K148, and any wastes from the coke byproducts
				processes that are hazardous only because they exhibit the toxicity
				characteristic specified in section
				33-24-02-14 when, subsequent to
				generation, these materials are recycled to coke ovens, to the tar recovery
				process as a feedstock to produce coal tar, or mixed with coal tar prior to the
				tar's sale or refining. This exclusion is conditioned on there being no land
				disposal of the wastes from the point they are generated to the point they are
				recycled to coke ovens or tar recovery or refining processes, or mixed with
				coal tar.
k. Nonwastewater splash
				condenser dross residue from the treatment of K061 in high temperature metals
				recovery units, provided it is shipped in drums (if shipped) and not land
				disposed before recovery.
l.
				Materials considered:
(1) Oil-bearing
				hazardous secondary materials (for example, sludges, byproducts, or spent
				materials) that are generated at a petroleum refinery (standard industrial code
				2911) and are inserted into the petroleum refining process (standard industrial
				code 2911 - including, but not limited to, distillation, catalytic cracking,
				fractionation, or thermal cracking units (for example, cokers)) unless the
				material is placed on the land, or speculatively accumulated before being so
				recycled. Materials inserted into thermal cracking units are excluded under
				this paragraph, provided that the core product also does not exhibit a
				characteristic of hazardous waste. Oil-bearing hazardous secondary materials
				may be inserted into the same petroleum refinery where they are generated, or
				sent directly to another petroleum refinery, and still be excluded under this
				provision. Except as provided in paragraph 2, oil-bearing hazardous secondary
				materials generated elsewhere in the petroleum industry (for example, from
				sources other than petroleum refineries) are not excluded under this paragraph.
				Residuals generated from processing or recycling materials excluded under this
				paragraph , where such materials as generated would have otherwise met a
				listing under sections
				33-24-02-15 through
				33-24-02-19, are designated as
				F037 listed wastes when disposed or intended for disposal.
(2) Recovered oil that is recycled in the
				same manner and with the same conditions as described in paragraph 1. Recovered
				oil is oil that has been reclaimed from secondary materials, including
				wastewater, generated from normal petroleum industry practices, including
				refining, exploration and production, bulk storage, and transportation incident
				thereto (standard industrial codes 1311, 1321, 1381, 1382, 1389, 2911, 4612,
				4613, 4922, 4923, 4789, 5171, and 5172). Recovered oil does not include
				oil-bearing hazardous wastes listed in sections
				33-24-02-15 through
				33-24-02-19; however, oil
				recovered from such wastes may be considered recovered oil. Recovered oil does
				not include used oil as defined in section
				33-24-05-600.
m. Excluded scrap metal (processed scrap
				metal, unprocessed home scrap metal, and unprocessed prompt scrap metal) being
				recycled.
n. Shredded circuit
				boards being recycled provided that they are:
(1) Stored in containers sufficient to
				prevent a release to the environment prior to recovery; and
(2) Free of mercury switches, mercury relays,
				and nickel-cadmium batteries and lithium batteries.
o. Condensates derived from the overhead
				gases from kraft mill stream strippers that are used to comply with
				40 CFR
				63.446(e). The exemption
				applies only to combustion at the mill generating the condensates.
p. [Reserved]
q. Spent materials (as defined in section
				33-24-02-01) (other than hazardous
				wastes listed in sections
				33-24-02-15 through
				33-24-02-19) generated within the
				primary mineral processing industry from which minerals, acids, cyanide, water,
				or other values are recovered by mineral processing, or by beneficiation,
				provided that:
(1) The spent material is
				legitimately recycled to recover minerals, acids, cyanide, water, or other
				values;
(2) The spent material is
				not accumulated speculatively;
(3)
				Except as provided in paragraph 4, the spent material is stored in tanks,
				containers, or buildings meeting the following minimum integrity standards: a
				building must be an engineered structure with a floor, walls, and a roof all of
				which are made of nonearthen materials providing structural support (except
				smelter buildings may have partially earthen floors provided the spent material
				is stored on the nonearthen portion), and have a roof suitable for diverting
				rainwater away from the foundation; a tank must be freestanding, not be a
				surface impoundment (as defined in section
				33-24-01-04), and be manufactured
				of a material suitable for containment of its contents; a container must be
				freestanding and be manufactured of a material suitable for containment of its
				contents. If tanks or containers contain any particulate which may be subject
				to wind dispersal, the owner or operator must operate these units in a manner
				which controls fugitive dust. Tanks, containers, and buildings must be
				designed, constructed, and operated to prevent significant releases to the
				environment of these materials.
(4)
				The department may make a site-specific determination, after public review and
				comment, that only solid mineral processing spent material may be placed on
				pads, rather than in tanks, containers, or buildings. Solid mineral processing
				spent materials do not contain any free liquid. The decisionmaker must affirm
				that pads are designed, constructed, and operated to prevent significant
				releases of the spent material into the environment. Pads must provide the same
				degree of containment afforded by the hazardous waste tanks, containers, and
				buildings eligible for exclusion.
(a) The
				decisionmaker must also consider if storage on pads poses the potential for
				significant releases via ground water, surface water, and air exposure
				pathways. Factors to be considered for assessing the ground water, surface
				water, and air exposure pathways are the volume and physical and chemical
				properties of the spent material, including its potential for migration off the
				pad; the potential for human or environmental exposure to hazardous
				constituents migrating from the pad via each exposure pathway; and the
				possibility and extent of harm to human and environmental receptors via each
				exposure pathway.
(b) Pads must
				meet the following minimum standards: be designed of nonearthen material that
				is compatible with the chemical nature of the mineral processing spent
				material, capable of withstanding physical stresses associated with placement
				and removal; have run-on or runoff controls, or both; be operated in a manner
				which controls fugitive dust; and have integrity assurance through inspections
				and maintenance programs.
(c)
				Before making a determination under this paragraph, the department must provide
				notice and the opportunity for comment to all persons potentially interested in
				the determination. This can be accomplished by placing notice of this action in
				major local newspapers or broadcasting notice over local radio
				stations.
(5) The owner
				or operator provides notice to the department, providing the following
				information: the types of materials to be recycled, the type and location of
				the storage units and recycling processes, and the annual quantities expected
				to be placed in land-based units. This notification must be updated when there
				is a change in the type of materials recycled or the location of the recycling
				process.
(6) For purposes of
				subdivision g of subsection 2, mineral processing spent materials must be the
				result of mineral processing and may not include any listed hazardous wastes.
				Listed hazardous wastes and characteristic hazardous wastes generated by
				nonmineral processing industries are not eligible for the conditional exclusion
				from the definition of solid waste.
r. Petrochemical recovered oil from an
				associated organic chemical manufacturing facility, where the oil is to be
				inserted into the petroleum refining process (standard industrial code 2911)
				along with normal petroleum refinery process streams, provided:
(1) The oil is hazardous only because it
				exhibits the characteristic of ignitability (as defined in section
				33-24-02-11) or toxicity for
				benzene (as defined in section
				33-24-02-14, hazardous waste code
				D018), or both; and
(2) The oil
				generated by the organic chemical manufacturing facility is not placed on the
				land, or speculatively accumulated before being recycled into the petroleum
				refining process. An "associated organic chemical manufacturing facility" is a
				facility where the primary standard industrial code is 2869, but where
				operations may also include standard industrial codes 2821, 2822, and 2865; and
				is physically colocated with a petroleum refinery; and where the petroleum
				refinery to which the oil being recycled is returned also provides hydrocarbon
				feedstocks to the organic chemical manufacturing facility. "Petrochemical
				recovered oil" is oil that has been reclaimed from secondary materials (for
				example, sludges, byproducts, or spent materials, including wastewater) from
				normal organic chemical manufacturing operations, as well as oil recovered from
				organic chemical manufacturing processes.
s. Spent caustic solutions from petroleum
				refining liquid treating processes used as a feedstock to produce cresylic or
				naphthenic acid unless the material is placed on the land, or accumulated
				speculatively as defined in subsection 3 of section
				33-24-02-01.
t. Hazardous secondary materials used to make
				zinc fertilizers, provided that the following conditions specified are
				satisfied:
(1) Hazardous secondary materials
				used to make zinc micronutrient fertilizers must not be accumulated
				speculatively, as defined in subdivision h of subsection 3 of section
				33-24-02-01.
(2) Generators and intermediate handlers of
				zinc-bearing hazardous secondary materials that are to be incorporated into
				zinc fertilizers must:
(a) Submit a one-time
				notice to the department, which contains the name, address, and identification
				number of the generator or intermediate handler facility, provides a brief
				description of the secondary material that will be subject to the exclusion,
				and identifies when the manufacturer intends to begin managing excluded,
				zinc-bearing hazardous secondary materials under the conditions specified in
				this subdivision.
(b) Store the
				excluded secondary material in tanks, containers, or buildings that are
				constructed and maintained in a way that prevents releases of the secondary
				materials into the environment. At a minimum, any building used for this
				purpose must be an engineered structure made of nonearthen materials that
				provide structural support, and must have a floor, walls, and a roof that
				prevent wind dispersal and contact with rainwater. Tanks used for this purpose
				must be structurally sound and, if outdoors, must have roofs or covers that
				prevent contact with wind and rain. Containers used for this purpose must be
				kept closed except when it is necessary to add or remove material, and must be
				in sound condition. Containers that are stored outdoors must be managed within
				storage areas that:
[1] Have containment
				structures or systems sufficiently impervious to contain leaks, spills, and
				accumulated precipitation;
[2]
				Provide for effective drainage and removal of leaks, spills, and accumulated
				precipitation; and
[3] Prevent
				run-on into the containment system.
(c) With each offsite shipment of excluded
				hazardous secondary materials, provide written notice to the receiving facility
				that the material is subject to the conditions of this subdivision.
(d) Maintain at the generator's or
				intermediate handler's facility for no less than three years records of all
				shipments of excluded hazardous secondary materials. For each shipment these
				records must at a minimum contain the following information:
[1] Name of the transporter and date of the
				shipment;
[2] Name and address of
				the facility that received the excluded material, and documentation confirming
				receipt of the shipment; and
[3]
				Type and quantity of excluded secondary material in each shipment.
(3) Manufacturers of
				zinc fertilizers or zinc fertilizer ingredients made from excluded hazardous
				secondary materials must:
(a) Store excluded
				hazardous secondary materials in accordance with the storage requirements for
				generators and intermediate handlers, as specified in subparagraph b of
				paragraph 2 .
(b) Submit a one-time
				notification to the department that, at a minimum, specifies the name, address,
				and identification number of the manufacturing facility, and identifies when
				the manufacturer intends to begin managing excluded, zinc-bearing hazardous
				secondary materials under the conditions specified in this
				subdivision.
(c) Maintain for a
				minimum of three years records of all shipments of excluded hazardous secondary
				materials received by the manufacturer, which must at a minimum identify for
				each shipment the name and address of the generating facility, name of
				transporter and date the materials were received, the quantity received, and a
				brief description of the industrial process that generated the
				material.
(d) Submit to the
				department an annual report that identifies the total quantities of all
				excluded hazardous secondary materials that were used to manufacture zinc
				fertilizers or zinc fertilizer ingredients in the previous year, the name and
				address of each generating facility, and the industrial process or processes
				from which they were generated. The annual report shall be submitted by March
				first of every year.
(4)
				Nothing in this subdivision preempts, overrides, or otherwise negates the
				provision in section
				33-24-03-02, which requires any
				person who generates a solid waste to determine if that waste is a hazardous
				waste.
(5) Interim status and
				permitted storage units that have been used to store only zinc-bearing
				hazardous wastes prior to the submission of the one-time notice described in
				subparagraph a of paragraph 2 , and that afterward will be used only to store
				hazardous secondary materials excluded under this subdivision, are not subject
				to the closure requirements of sections
				33-24-05-01 through 33-24-05-190,
				33-24-05-300 through 33-24-05-524,
				33-24-05-550 through 33-24-05-559,
				and 33-24-05-800 through 33-24-05-819
				and the applicable requirements of subsection 5 of section
				33-24-06-16.
u. Zinc fertilizers made from hazardous
				wastes, or hazardous secondary materials that are excluded under subdivision t,
				provided that:
(1) The fertilizers meet the
				following contaminant limits:

				per trillion of dioxin, measured as toxic equivalent (TEQ).
(2) The manufacturer performs
				sampling and analysis of the fertilizer product to determine compliance with
				the contaminant limits for metals no less than every six months, and for
				dioxins no less than every twelve months. Testing must also be performed
				whenever changes occur to manufacturing processes or ingredients that could
				significantly affect the amounts of contaminants in the fertilizer product. The
				manufacturer may use any reliable analytical method to demonstrate that no
				constituent of concern is present in the product at concentrations above the
				applicable limits. It is the responsibility of the manufacturer to ensure that
				the sampling and analysis are unbiased, precise, and representative of the
				product or products introduced into commerce.
(3) The manufacturer maintains for no less
				than three years records of all sampling and analyses performed for purposes of
				determining compliance with the requirements of paragraph 2 . Such records must
				at a minimum include:
(a) The dates and times
				product samples were taken and the dates the samples were analyzed;
(b) The names and qualifications of the
				person taking the samples;
(c) A
				description of the methods and equipment used to take the samples;
(d) The name and address of the laboratory
				facility at which analyses of the samples were performed;
(e) A description of the analytical methods

(f) All laboratory analytical results used to
				determine compliance with the contaminant limits specified in subdivision
				u.
v. Used
				cathode ray tubes:
(1) Used, intact cathode
				ray tubes as defined in section
				33-24-01-04 are not solid wastes
				within the United States unless they are disposed, or unless they are
				speculatively accumulated as defined in subdivision h of subsection 3 of
				section 33-24-02-01 by cathode ray tube
				collectors or glass processors.
(2)
				Used, intact cathode ray tubes as defined in section

				not a solid waste provided that it meets the requirements of subsection 3 of
				section 33-24-02-25.
w.
				Solvent-contaminated wipes that are sent for cleaning and reuse are not solid
				wastes from the point of generation, provided that:
(1) The solvent-contaminated wipes, when
				accumulated, stored, and transported, are contained in nonleaking, closed
				containers that are labeled "excluded solvent-contaminated wipes." The
				containers must be able to contain free liquids, should free liquids occur.
				During accumulation, a container is considered closed when there is complete
				contact between the fitted lid and the rim, except when it is necessary to add
				or remove solvent-contaminated wipes. When the container is full, or when the
				solvent-contaminated wipes are no longer being accumulated, or when the
				container is being transported, the container must be sealed with all lids
				properly and securely affixed to the container and all openings tightly bound
				or closed sufficiently to prevent leaks and emissions;
(2) The solvent-contaminated wipes may be
				accumulated by the generator for up to one hundred eighty days from the start
				date of accumulation for each container prior to being sent for
				cleaning;
(3) At the point of being
				sent for cleaning onsite or at the point of being transported offsite for
				cleaning, the solvent-contaminated wipes must contain no free liquids as
				defined in section
				33-24-01-04.
(4) Free liquids removed from the
				solvent-contaminated wipes or from the container holding the wipes must be
				managed according to the applicable regulations found in 33-24-01 through
				33-24-04 and 33-24-06, and sections
				33-24-05-01 through 33-24-05-559,

(6) The solvent-contaminated wipes
				are sent to a laundry or dry cleaner whose discharge, if any, is regulated
				under sections 301 and 402 or section 307 of the Clean Water Act.
x. Hazardous secondary material
				generated and legitimately reclaimed within the United States or its
				territories and under the control of the generator, provided that the material
				complies with:
(1) The hazardous secondary
				material:
(a) Is generated and reclaimed at
				the generating facility (for purposes of this definition, generating facility
				means all contiguous property owned, leased, or otherwise controlled by the
				hazardous secondary material generator); or
(b) Is generated and reclaimed at different
				facilities, if the reclaiming facility is controlled by the generator or if
				both the generating facility and the reclaiming facility are controlled by a
				person as defined in section
				33-24-01-04, and if the generator
				provides one of the following certifications: "on behalf of [insert generator
				facility name], I certify that this facility will send the indicated hazardous
				secondary material to [insert reclaimer facility name], which is controlled by
				[insert generator facility name] and that [insert name of either facility] has
				acknowledged full responsibility for the safe management of the hazardous
				secondary material," or "on behalf of [insert generator facility name], I
				certify that this facility will send the indicated hazardous secondary material
				to [insert reclaimer facility name], that both facilities are under common
				control, and that [insert name of either facility] has acknowledged full
				responsibility for the safe management of the hazardous secondary material."
				For purposes of this subparagraph, "control" means the power to direct the
				policies of the facility, whether by the ownership of stock, voting rights, or
				otherwise, except that contractors who operate facilities on behalf of a
				different person as defined in section
				33-24-01-04 shall not be deemed to
				"control" such facilities. The generating and receiving facilities must both
				maintain at their facilities for no less than three years records of hazardous
				secondary materials sent or received under this exclusion. In both cases, the
				records must contain the name of the transporter, the date of the shipment, and
				the type and quantity of the hazardous secondary material shipped or received
				under the exclusion. These requirements may be satisfied by routine business
				records (for example, financial records, bills of lading, copies of department
				of transportation shipping papers, or electronic confirmation); or
(c) Is generated pursuant to a written
				contract between a tolling contractor and a toll manufacturer and is reclaimed
				by the tolling contractor, if the tolling contractor certifies the following:
				"On behalf of [insert tolling contractor name], I certify that [insert tolling
				contractor name] has a written contract with [insert toll manufacturer name] to
				manufacture [insert name of product or intermediate] which is made from
				specified unused materials, and that [insert tolling contractor name] will
				reclaim the hazardous secondary materials generated during this manufacture. On
				behalf of [insert tolling contractor name], I also certify that [insert tolling
				contractor name] retains ownership of, and responsibility for, the hazardous
				secondary materials that are generated during the course of the manufacture,
				including any releases of hazardous secondary materials that occur during the
				manufacturing process". The tolling contractor must maintain at its facility
				for no less than three years records of hazardous secondary materials received
				pursuant to its written contract with the tolling manufacturer, and the tolling
				manufacturer must maintain at its facility for no less than three years records
				of hazardous secondary materials shipped pursuant to its written contract with
				the tolling contractor. In both cases, the records must contain the name of the
				transporter, the date of the shipment, and the type and quantity of the
				hazardous secondary material shipped or received pursuant to the written
				contract. These requirements may be satisfied by routine business records (for
				example, financial records, bills of lading, copies of department of
				transportation shipping papers, or electronic confirmations). For purposes of
				this subparagraph, tolling contractor means a person who arranges for the
				production of a product or intermediate made from specified unused materials
				through a written contact with a toll manufacturer. Toll manufacturer means a
				person who produces a product or intermediate made from specified unused
				materials pursuant to a written contract with a tolling contractor.
(2) The following requirements
				apply to hazardous secondary material managed under this exclusion:
(a) The hazardous secondary material is
				contained as defined in section
				33-24-01-04. A hazardous secondary
				material released to the environment is discarded and a solid waste unless it
				is immediately recovered for the purpose of reclamation. Hazardous secondary
				material managed in a unit with leaks or other continuing or intermittent

(e) Persons performing the recycling of
				hazardous secondary materials under this exclusion must maintain documentation
				of their legitimacy determination onsite. Documentation must be a written
				description of how the recycling meets all four factors in subsection 1 of
				section 33-24-01-19. Documentation must be maintained for three years after the
				recycling operation has ceased.
(f)
				The emergency preparedness and response requirements found in sections
				33-24-02-120 through 33-24-02-129 are met.
y. Hazardous secondary material that is
				generated and then transferred to a verified reclamation facility for the
				purpose of reclamation is not a solid waste, provided that:
(1) The material is not speculatively
				accumulated, as defined in subdivision h of subsection 3 of section
				33-24-02-01;
(2) The material is not handled by any person
				or facility other than the hazardous secondary material generator, the
				transporter, an intermediate facility or a reclaimer, and, while in transport,
				is not stored for more than ten days at a transfer facility, as defined in

(4) The reclamation of the material is
				legitimate, as specified under section 33-24-01-19;
(5) The hazardous secondary material
				generator satisfied all of the following conditions;
(a) The material must be contained as defined
				in section
				33-24-01-04. A hazardous secondary
				material released to the environment is discarded and a solid waste unless it
				is immediately recovered for the purpose of recycling. Hazardous secondary
				material managed in a unit with leaks or other continuing releases is discarded
				and a solid waste.
(b) The
				hazardous secondary material generator must arrange for transport of hazardous
				secondary materials to a verified reclamation facility or facilities in the
				United States. A verified reclamation facility is a facility that has been
				granted a variance under subsection 4 of section
				33-24-01-10, or a reclamation
				facility where the management of the hazardous secondary materials is addressed
				under a hazardous waste permit or interim status standards. If the hazardous
				secondary material will be passing through an intermediate facility, the
				intermediate facility must have been granted a variance under subsection 4 of
				section 33-24-01-10 or the management of
				the hazardous secondary materials at that facility must be addressed under a
				hazardous waste permit or interim status standards, and the hazardous secondary
				material generator must make contractual arrangements with the intermediate
				facility to ensure that the hazardous secondary material is sent to the
				reclamation facility identified by the hazardous secondary material
				generator.
(c) The hazardous
				secondary material generator must maintain at the generating facility for no
				less than three years records of all offsite shipments of hazardous secondary
				materials. For each shipment, these records must, at a minimum, contain the
				following information:
[1] Name of the
				transporter and date of the shipment;
[2] Name and address of each reclaimer and,
				if applicable, the name and address of each intermediate facility to which the
				hazardous secondary material was sent;
[3] The type and quantity of hazardous
				secondary material in the shipment.
(d) The hazardous secondary material
				generator must maintain at the generating facility for no less than three years
				confirmations of receipt from each reclaimer and, if applicable, each
				intermediate facility for all offsite shipments of hazardous secondary
				materials. Confirmations of receipt must include the name and address of the
				reclaimer or intermediate facility, the type and quantity of the hazardous
				secondary materials received and the date which the hazardous secondary
				materials were received. This requirement may be satisfied by routine business
				records (for example, financial records, bills of lading, copies of department
				of transportation shipping papers, or electronic confirmations of receipt);
(e) The hazardous secondary
				material generator must comply with the emergency preparedness and response
				conditions in sections 33-24-02-120 through 33-24-02-129.
(6) Reclaimers of hazardous secondary
				material excluded from regulation under this exclusion and intermediate
				facilities as defined in section
				33-24-01-04 satisfy all of the
				following conditions:
(a) The reclaimer and
				intermediate facility must maintain at its facility for no less than three
				years records of all shipments of hazardous secondary material that were
				received at the facility and, if applicable, for all shipments of hazardous
				secondary materials that were received and subsequently sent offsite from the
				facility for further reclamation. For each shipment, these records must at a
				minimum contain the following information:
[1] Name of the transporter and date of the
				shipment;
[2] Name and address of
				the hazardous secondary material generator and, if applicable, the name and
				address of the reclaimer or intermediate facility which the hazardous secondary
				materials were received from;
[3]
				The type and quantity of hazardous secondary material in the shipment;
				and
[4] For hazardous secondary
				materials that, after being received by the reclaimer or intermediate facility,
				were subsequently transferred offsite for further reclamation, the name and
				address of the subsequent reclaimer and, if applicable, the name and address of
				each intermediate facility to which the hazardous secondary material was
				sent.
(b) The
				intermediate facility must send the hazardous secondary material to the
				reclaimer or reclaimers designated by the hazardous secondary materials
				generator.
(c) The reclaimer and
				intermediate facility must send to the hazardous secondary material generator
				confirmations of receipt for all offsite shipments of hazardous secondary
				materials. Confirmations of receipt must include the name and address of the
				reclaimer or intermediate facility, the type and quantity of the hazardous
				secondary materials received and the date which the hazardous secondary
				materials were received. This requirement may be satisfied by routine business
				records (for example, financial records, bills of lading, copies of department
				of transportation shipping papers, or electronic confirmations of
				receipt).
(d) The reclaimer and
				intermediate facility must manage the hazardous secondary material in a manner
				that is at least as protective as that employed for analogous raw material and
				must be contained. An "analogous raw material" is a raw material for which a
				hazardous secondary material is a substitute and serves the same function and
				has similar physical and chemical properties as the hazardous secondary
				material.
(e) Any residuals that
				are generated from reclamation processes will be managed in a manner that is
				protective of human health and the environment. If any residuals exhibit a
				hazardous characteristic according to sections
				33-24-02-10 through
				33-24-02-14, or if the residuals
				themselves are specifically listed in sections
				33-24-02-15 through
				33-24-02-19, such residuals are
				hazardous wastes and must be managed in accordance with the applicable
				requirements of 33-24-01 through 33-24-04, sections
				33-24-05-01 through 33-24-05-559,
				33-24-05-800 through 33-24-05-929,
				33-24-05-950 through 33-24-05-1149, subsection 5 of section
				33-24-06-16 and 33-24-06.
(f) The reclaimer and intermediate
				facility have financial assurance as required under sections 33-24-02-33
				through 33-24-02-42.
(g) The
				reclaimer and intermediate facility have been granted a variance under
				subsection 4 of section
				33-24-01-10 or have a hazardous
				waste permit or interim status standards that address the management of the
				hazardous secondary materials; and
(7) All persons claiming the exclusion under
				this subdivision provide notification as required under section
				33-24-01-18.
