(a) The department shall, by March 1, 2025, and every three years thereafter, prepare a state hazardous waste management plan and present it to the board for approval. The state hazardous waste management plan shall be based on the report prepared pursuant to subdivision (b) and any other sources of information deemed relevant by the department. The state hazardous waste management plan shall serve as a comprehensive planning document for the management of hazardous waste in the state, as a useful informational source to guide state and local hazardous waste management efforts, and as a guide for the departmentâs implementation of its hazardous waste management program. (b) By March 1, 2023, and every three years thereafter, the department shall prepare, and post on its internet website, a report that includes an analysis of available data related to hazardous waste, including all of the following components: (1) An analysis of the hazardous waste streams produced in the state, including the sources of the data and any limitations of that data. The report shall present hazardous waste stream information for the hazardous waste types currently being generated, historically generated, and expected to be generated in the state in the future. In addition to statewide data, the report shall also present the hazardous waste stream information in each of the following categories: (A) The county in which each hazardous waste stream is generated. (B) The destination to which each hazardous waste stream is shipped. (C) The amount of hazardous waste disposed to land, both within the state and in other states. (D) The amount of hazardous waste treated, both within the state and in other states. (E) The amount of hazardous waste that is regulated under the federal act. (F) The amount of hazardous waste that is regulated only in the state. (G) An estimate of the types and volumes of hazardous waste that are generated, but are not required to be manifested, and therefore are not included in the departmentâs Hazardous Waste Tracking System, including hazardous wastes that are: (i) Treated onsite. (ii) Recycled onsite. (iii) Identified as universal wastes. (iv) Eligible to be managed under a management standard that is an alternative to full hazardous waste regulation. (2) Information regarding hazardous waste facilities that operate in the state, including all of the following: (A) Information regarding each hazardous waste facility, including a description of the facility, the amount of hazardous waste the facility is permitted to receive annually, and the amount of hazardous waste managed by the facility that is received from in-state versus out-of-state generators. The information provided pursuant to this subparagraph shall include information on both of the following: (i) Hazardous waste facilities that have been issued a permit to operate by the department. (ii) Any other hazardous waste facilities that are receiving any type of hazardous wastes from offsite that do not require a hazardous waste facilities permit to operate, such as universal waste handlers or temporary transfer stations. (B) An analysis of the location of each destination facility, including an assessment of the area in which the destination facility is located. For destination facilities located in the state, this analysis shall include zoning and other geographic information and the CalEnviroScreen score, and may include information from national environmental health screening tools. For destination facilities located in other states, the analysis shall include a similar assessment of the environmental conditions or vulnerability to environmental pollutants of the population surrounding each destination facility, to the extent data are available. (C) An analysis of the transportation of hazardous waste generated in the state, including information on the distance between the destination facilities and the generators that are sending hazardous waste to those desti
