Section 096-857-6 - ExceptionsA. A person may transport polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) which are contained in a totally enclosed manner in PCB equipment without using a manifest provided that the PCBs are not discarded or intended to be discarded. In addition, a person who discharges or suffers a discharge of PCBs or who generates PCB contaminated material as a result of routine servicing of off-site PCB containing equipment may transport that PCB waste to a facility with an approved PCB management plan or to a Maine hazardous waste storage facility licensed to handle PCBs without using a manifest provided that the facility is under the control of the entity who has care or custody of or who owns the PCBs waste. NOTE: The generator-controlled facility which first accepts the waste shall be the site of generation.
B. A person may transport universal wastes without using a manifest, provided that the Uniform Bill of Lading referenced in Section 4 of this Chapter or an alternative form approved by the Department, or for small universal waste generators and central accumulation facilities the log requirements of Section 13 of this Chapter, are utilized. For the purposes of administering Section 13 of this Chapter, where the rule in Sections 5, 7, 8, and 9 of this Chapter states "manifest" it shall be replaced, as applicable, with "Manifest or Uniform Bill of Lading" and when using the Maine Recyclable Material Uniform Bill of Lading, copies 6, 7, and 8 (i.e., "Destination State - Mailed by Generator" copy, "Generator State - Mailed by Generator" copy, and "Generator Copy", respectively) must be distributed per the instructions for use of the Maine Recyclable Material Uniform Bill of Lading printed on the back of the form. NOTE: In 2008, the Department approved an alternative form entitled "Maine Recyclable Material Uniform Bill of Lading." For shipments of universal wastes, this form should be used in place of the previously-approved "Recyclable Hazardous Material Uniform Bill of Lading". The Maine Recyclable Material Uniform Bill of Lading form, as revised by removal of the word "Hazardous" from its title, is approved for documenting shipments of Maine universal wastes which are not included in the list of DOT regulated hazardous materials, as well as universal wastes that are hazardous materials.
