Washington Administrative Code › Title 173 - Ecology, Department of (See also Titles 197, 317, 372, and 508) › Chapter 173-303 - Dangerous waste regulations › Section 173-303-060 - Notification, identification numbers, and annual reports

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
(1) Any person who generates, transports,
			 offers for transport, or transfers a dangerous waste, or who owns or operates a
			 dangerous waste TSD facility or a recycling facility must have a current
			 EPA/state identification number (EPA/state ID#). An EPA/state ID# is issued to
			 TSD facilities, recycling facilities, and generators by site. A state
			 registration number is assigned to transfer facilities by site. Any person who
			 offers a dangerous waste to a transporter or to a dangerous waste TSD facility
			 or recycling facility that does not have an EPA/state ID#, or whose EPA/state
			 ID# has been canceled or withdrawn, is in violation of this
			 regulation.
(2) Every person who
			 must have an EPA/state ID#, and who has not already received their ID#, must
			 notify the department by obtaining and completing a Washington State Dangerous
			 Waste Site Identification Form according to the instructions on the form and
			 submitting the completed form to the department. Any person already assigned an
			 EPA/state ID# must notify the department of any changes to their company's
			 name, mailing address, ownership, physical location, or type of dangerous waste
			 activity, by submitting a revised form. A revised form must be submitted prior
			 to adding or dropping any of the following activities: Permitted treating,
			 storing and/or disposing, immediate recycling, transporting, permit by rule,
			 and/or treatment by generator. Any change in site location will require the
			 issuance of a new EPA/state ID# for waste generation and management facilities.
			 An existing EPA/state ID# cannot be transferred to a new company location. A
			 company that has obtained an ID# as a "transporter only" (e.g., those who do
			 not store or generate waste on site) can move to a new location and continue to
			 use the same ID#. A revised Dangerous Waste Site Identification Form must be
			 submitted to the department. A Dangerous Waste Site Identification Form and
			 instructions for its completion may be obtained by contacting the
			 department.
(3) Any person with an
			 EPA/state ID# may request that their ID# be withdrawn if they will no longer be
			 handling dangerous waste at the site the ID# has been assigned to. Any person
			 whose ID# has been withdrawn must notify the department before they use the ID#
			 at any later date. Notification must be in writing, except in the case of
			 emergencies (e.g., fires, spills, etc.) such notification may be provided by
			 telephone first, and followed within one week by a written notification.
			 Withdrawal will only be granted when all applicable requirements of this
			 chapter and chapter 173-305 WAC have been met.
(4) Any person with an EPA/state ID# may
			 request that their ID# be withdrawn if they will no longer occupy the site.
			 Notification must be in writing. An EPA/state ID# will be considered withdrawn
			 only after all applicable requirements of this chapter and chapter 173-305 WAC
			 have been met.
(5) Any person with
			 a current EPA/state ID# must submit an annual report as required by WAC
			 173-303-170(2)(a)(i),
			 173-303-220,
			 173-303-120,
			 173-303-390,
			 and
			 173-303-515.
			 Any person who has withdrawn their ID# must submit an annual report up to the
			 effective date of withdrawal. The generator should write the effective date on
			 the Dangerous Waste Site Identification Form for the withdrawal; it is the date
			 by which all regulated waste activities (generation, transportation, and
			 management) have ceased at the site.
(6) A recognized trader must not arrange for
			 import or export of dangerous waste without having received an EPA/state ID#
			 from the department.
