Rule 3745-52-20 | Manifest - general requirements.
(A)
(1) Paper manifest. A generator that transports, or offers for transport, a hazardous waste for off-site treatment, storage, or disposal, or a treatment, storage, or disposal facility that offers for transport a rejected hazardous waste load, shall prepare a manifest ("OMB" control number 2050-0039) on U.S. EPA form 8700-22, and, if necessary, U.S. EPA form 8700-22A (the continuation sheet). Large quantity generators and small quantity generators shall register with the U.S. EPA's e-manifest system to obtain signed and dated copies of completed manifests from the U.S. EPA e-manifest system and comply with paragraph (A)(2) of this rule.
(2) Post-receipt manifest data corrections. After facilities have certified that the manifest is complete, by signing the manifest at the time of submittal to the U.S. EPA e-manifest system, any post-receipt data corrections may be submitted at any time by any interested person (e.g., waste handler) named on the manifest. If corrections are requested by the director or by U.S. EPA for portions of the manifest that a generator is required to complete, the generator shall address the data correction within thirty days after the date of the request. Data correction submittals shall be made electronically via the post-receipt data corrections process as described in paragraph (L) of rule 3745-65-71 of the Administrative Code, which applies to corrections made to either paper or electronic manifests.
(3) Electronic manifest. In lieu of using the manifest form specified in paragraph (A)(1) of this rule, a person required to prepare a manifest under paragraph (A)(1) of this rule may prepare and use an electronic manifest, provided that the person:
(a) Complies with the requirements of rule 3745-52-24 of the Administrative Code for use of electronic manifests; and
(b) Complies with the requirements of 40 CFR 3.10 for the reporting of electronic documents to U.S. EPA.
(B) A generator shall designate on the manifest one facility which is permitted to handle the waste described on the manifest.
(C) A generator also may designate on the manifest one alternate facility which is permitted to handle the generator's waste in the event an emergency prevents delivery of the waste to the primary designated facility.
(D) If the transporter is unable to deliver the hazardous waste to the designated facility or the alternate facility, the generator shall either designate another facility or instruct the transporter to return the waste.
(E) The requirements of rules 3745-52-20 to 3745-52-27 of the Administrative Code do not apply to hazardous waste produced by generators of greater than one hundred kilograms (kg) but less than one thousand kg of hazardous waste in a calendar month where:
(1) The waste is reclaimed under a contractual agreement pursuant to which:
(a) The type of waste and frequency of shipments are specified in the agreement; and
(b) The vehicle used to transport the waste to the recycling facility and to deliver regenerated material back to the generator is owned and operated by the reclaimer of the waste.
(2) The generator maintains a copy of the reclamation agreement in the generator's files for a period of at least three years after termination or expiration of the agreement.
(F) The requirements of rules 3745-52-20 to 3745-52-27 and paragraph (B) of rule 3745-52-32 of the Administrative Code do not apply to the transport of hazardous wastes on a public or private right-of-way within or along the border of contiguous property under the control of the same person, even if such contiguous property is divided by a public or private right-of-way. Notwithstanding paragraph (A) of rule 3745-53-10 of the Administrative Code, the generator or transporter shall comply with the requirements for transporters provided in rules 3745-53-30 and 3745-53-31 of the Administrative Code in the event of a discharge of hazardous waste on a public or private right-of-way.
