RECORDKEEPING INSTRUCTIONS
The recordkeeping provisions of section 373-2.5(c) and 373-3.5(c) specify that an owner or operator must keep a written operating record at the facility. This Appendix provides additional instructions for keeping portions of the operating record.
The following information must be recorded, as it becomes available, and maintained in the operating record until closure of the facility in the following manner:
Records of each hazardous waste received, treated, stored or disposed of at the facility, which include the following:
(i) A description by its common name and the EPA Hazardous Waste Number(s) from 6 NYCRR Part 371 which apply to the waste. The waste description also must include the waste's physical form, i.e., liquid, sludge, solid or contained gas. If the waste is not listed in section 371.4, the description also must include the process that produced it (for example, solid filter cake from production of _______, EPA Hazardous Waste Number W051).
Each hazardous waste listed in section 371.4, and each hazardous waste characteristic defined in section 371.3, has a four-digit EPA Hazardous Waste Number assigned to it. This number must be used for recordkeeping and reporting purposes. Where a hazardous waste contains more than one listed hazardous waste, or where more than one hazardous waste characteristic applies to the waste, the waste description must include all applicable EPA Hazardous Waste Numbers.
(ii) The estimated or manifest-reported weight, or volume and density, where applicable, in one of the units of measure specified in Table 1.
(iii) The method(s) (by handling code[s] as specified in Table 2) and date(s) of treatment, storage or disposal.
