(a) On or before September 1, 1991, and every four years thereafter, each generator shall conduct a source reduction evaluation review and plan pursuant to subdivision (b). (b) Except as provided in subdivision (c), the source reduction evaluation review and plan required by subdivision (a) shall be conducted and completed for each site pursuant to the format adopted pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 25244.16 and shall include, at a minimum, all of the following: (1) The name and location of the site. (2) The SIC Code of the site. (3) Identification of all routinely generated hazardous waste streams that annually weigh 600 kilograms or more and that result from ongoing processes or operations and exceed 5 percent of the total yearly weight of hazardous waste generated at the site, or, for extremely hazardous waste, that annually weigh 0.6 kilograms or more and exceed 5 percent of the total yearly weight of extremely hazardous waste generated at the site. For purposes of this paragraph, a hazardous waste stream identified pursuant to this paragraph shall also meet one of the following criteria: (A) It is a hazardous waste stream processed in a wastewater treatment unit that discharges to a publicly owned treatment works or under a national pollutant discharge elimination system (NPDES) permit, as specified in the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as amended (33 U.S.C. Sec. 1251 and following). (B) It is a hazardous waste stream that is not processed in a wastewater treatment unit and its weight exceeds 5 percent of the weight of the total yearly volume at the site, less the weight of any hazardous waste stream identified in subparagraph (A). (4) For each hazardous waste stream identified in paragraph (3), the review and plan shall include all of the following information: (A) An estimate of the quantity of hazardous waste generated. (B) An evaluation of source reduction approaches available to the generator that are potentially viable. The evaluation shall consider at least all of the following source reduction approaches: (i) Input change. (ii) Operational improvement. (iii) Production process change. (iv) Product reformulation. (5) A specification of, and a rationale for, the technically feasible and economically practicable source reduction measures that will be taken by the generator with respect to each hazardous waste stream identified in paragraph (3). The review and plan shall fully document any statement explaining the generatorâs rationale for rejecting any available source reduction approach identified in paragraph (4). (6) An evaluation, and, to the extent practicable, a quantification, of the effects of the chosen source reduction method on emissions and discharges to air, water, or land. (7) A timetable for making reasonable and measurable progress towards implementation of the selected source reduction measures specified in paragraph (5). (8) Certification pursuant to subdivision (d). (9) A generator subject to this article shall include in its source reduction evaluation review and plan four-year numerical goals for reducing the generation of hazardous waste streams through the approaches provided for in subparagraph (B) of paragraph (4), based upon its best estimate of what is achievable in that four-year period. (10) A summary progress report that briefly summarizes and, to the extent practicable, quantifies, in a manner that is understandable to the general public, the results of implementing the source reduction methods identified in the generatorâs review and plan for each waste stream addressed by the previous plan over the previous four years. The report shall also include an estimate of the amount of reduction that the generator anticipates will be achieved by the implementation of source reduction methods during the period between the preparation of the review and plan and the preparation of the generatorâs next review and plan. (c) If a generator owns or operates multiple sites with simil
