Ensure that the receiving facility(collection center or destination facility)will accept the load <br /> before it is sent. If rejected,the original handler must accept the waste back,or both parties may <br /> agree on a new destination. <br /> • Follow the export notification procedures for foreign destinations. <br /> Provide employee training. LQHUW must ensure that employees are familiar with waste <br /> handling and emergency procedures. SQHUW must distribute basic handling and emergency <br /> information. <br /> Additional Large Quantity Handler (LQHUW) requirements: <br /> Maintain basic records to track waste shipments. Records may be in the form of a log,invoice, <br /> manifest,bill of lading,or other shipping documents. They must be maintained for three years <br /> and include names,addresses,quantity and types of wastes,and shipment dates. <br /> Notify Ecology and obtain a RCRA Site Identification Number using a Site Identification(Site <br /> ID)Form. Handlers who anticipate accumulating 11,000 pounds or more of UW at any one <br /> time(or 2,200 pounds for lamps)must have a RCRA Site Identification Number before <br /> exceeding the accumulation limit. Note: LQHUW status is maintained through the end of the <br /> calendar year in which 11,000 pounds or more of UW is accumulated. <br /> File a Dangerous Waste Annual Report by March 1 of each year. The generation and <br /> management of UW do not need to be included in the Annual Report as other dangerous waste <br /> streams are. However,the appropriate boxes in Section 10B on the Site Identification Form <br /> must be checked to account for UW activities. <br /> Prohibitions for all Handlers <br /> Handlers may not dilute,dispose,or treat UW. Lamp crushing is an example of a prohibited <br /> UW activity. There are two exceptions to these general prohibitions: <br /> 1. Routine battery management activities: The following routine battery management <br /> activities are not considered treatment: <br /> • sorting batteries by type <br /> • mixing battery types in one container <br /> • discharging batteries <br /> • regenerating used batteries <br /> • disassembling battery packs, <br /> • removing batteries from discarded consumer products <br /> • removing electrolyte <br /> 2. Removing mercury-containing ampules from thermostats and equipment: The handler of the <br /> waste can remove mercury-containing ampules. Detailed directions regarding <br /> removing mercury ampules are described in the rule itself at WAC 173-303-573(9)(b)(ii) <br /> and in the Ecology focus sheet(publication number 98-407-b) on mercury-containing <br /> equipment. <br /> 4 <br />
