				shall accept and manage only those wastes and quantities that are specified in
				the facility permit, unless the Administrator provides specific written
				authorization to accept and manage other wastes and quantities.

				shall be used to prevent the management of unauthorized wastes. The waste
				screening measures may include specific waste testing procedures to verify that
				only authorized wastes are accepted at the facility.

				not be managed unless the Administrator provides specific written
				authorization.

				method, additional fire protection and emergency management equipment may be

				Each facility shall have an effective litter collection program to contain
				litter within the facility and to prevent the facility from becoming unsightly,

				hazard, odors or vector habitat.
(m) Waste and wastewater: All wastes and
				wastewaters generated from any waste management processes shall be
				characterized and managed by the operator in accordance with applicable
				Department standards unless the facility is mobile and the facility operator
				will not be responsible for managing waste.

				sampling and analysis shall be conducted by the operator to verify that wastes
				have been properly treated unless the facility is mobile and the facility
				operator will not be responsible for managing the waste.
