Current through June 24, 2024
(1) The owner or operator of a facility that
				  is arranging or has arranged to receive hazardous waste subject to subch. H of
				  ch. NR 662 from a foreign source shall submit all of the following required
				  notices:
(a) In accordance with s.
				  NR
				  662.084(2), for imports where the
				  competent authority of the country of export does not require the foreign
				  exporter to submit to it a notification proposing export and obtain consent
				  from EPA and the competent authorities for the countries of transit, the owner
				  or operator of the facility, if acting as the importer, shall provide
				  notification of the proposed transboundary movement in English to EPA using the
				  allowable methods listed in s.
				  NR 662.084(2)
				  (a) at least 60 days before the first
				  shipment is expected to depart the country of export. The notification may
				  cover up to one year of shipments of wastes having similar physical and
				  chemical characteristics, the same United Nations classification, the same
				  hazardous waste codes and OECD waste codes, and being sent from the same
				  foreign exporter.
(b) In accordance
				  with s.
				  NR 662.084(4) (b)
				   15., a copy of the movement document bearing
				  all required signatures within 3 working days of receipt of the shipment to the
				  foreign exporter; to the competent authorities of the countries of export and
				  transit that control the shipment as an export and transit shipment of
				  hazardous waste respectively; and on or after the electronic import-export
				  reporting compliance date, to EPA electronically using EPA's waste import
				  export tracking system, or its successor system. The original of the signed
				  movement document shall be maintained at the facility for at least 3 years. The
				  owner or operator of a facility may satisfy this recordkeeping requirement by
				  retaining electronically submitted documents in the facility's account on EPA's
				  waste import export tracking system, or its successor system, provided that
				  copies are readily available for viewing and production if requested by EPA or
				  the department. No owner or operator of a facility shall be held liable for the
				  inability to produce the documents for inspection under this section if the
				  owner or operator of a facility can demonstrate that the inability to produce
				  the document is due exclusively to technical difficulty with EPA's waste import
				  export tracking system, or its successor system, for which the owner or
				  operator of a facility bears no responsibility.
(c) In accordance with s.
				  NR 662.084(6)
				  (d), if the facility has physical control of
				  the waste and the waste will be sent to an alternate facility or returned to
				  the country of export, the owner or operator of the facility shall inform EPA
				  of the need to return or arrange alternate management of the shipment using the
				  allowable methods listed in s.
				  NR 662.084(2)
				  (a).
(d) As specified in s.
				  NR
				  662.084(7), the owner or operator
				  shall do all of the following:
1. Send copies
				  of the signed and dated confirmation of recovery or disposal, as soon as
				  possible, but no later than 30 days after completing recovery or disposal on
				  the waste in the shipment and no later than one calendar year following receipt
				  of the waste, to the foreign exporter, to the competent authority of the
				  country of export that controls the shipment as an export of hazardous waste,
				  and on or after the electronic import-export reporting compliance date, to EPA
				  electronically using EPA's waste import export tracking system, or its
				  successor system.
2. If the
				  facility performed any of recovery operations R12, R13, or RC16, or disposal
				  operations D13 through D15, or DC17, promptly send copies of the confirmation
				  of recovery or disposal that it receives from the final recovery or disposal
				  facility within one year of shipment delivery to the final recovery or disposal
				  facility that performed one of recovery operations R1 through R11, or RC16, or
				  one of disposal operations D1 through D12, or DC15 to DC16. Copies of the
				  confirmation shall also be sent to the competent authority of the country of
				  export that controls the shipment as an export of hazardous waste, and on or
				  after the electronic import-export reporting compliance date, to EPA
				  electronically using EPA's waste import export tracking system, or its
				  successor system. The recovery and disposal operations in this subdivision are
				  defined in s.
