The manifest--general requirements
(a) A generator who relinquishes control over PCB wastes by transporting, or offering for
transport by his own vehicle or by a vehicle owned by another person, PCB waste for
commercial off-site storage or off-site disposal shall prepare a manifest on EPA Form
8700-22, and if necessary, a continuation sheet. The generator shall specify:
(1) For each bulk load of PCBs, the identity of the PCB waste, the earliest date of
removal from service for disposal, and the weight in kilograms of the PCB waste.
(2) For each PCB Article Container or PCB Container, the unique identifying number, type
of PCB waste (e.g., soil, debris, small capacitors), earliest date of removal from service
for disposal and weight in kilograms of the PCB waste contained.
(3) For each PCB Article not in a PCB Container or PCB Article Container, the serial
number if available, or other identification if there is no serial number, the date of
removal from service for disposal, and weight in kilograms of the PCB waste in each PCB
Article.
(b) EPA does not maintain supplies of printed copies of Form 8700-22 for public use,
although printed copies of the manifest may be available from State offices. Camera-ready
copies of the form are available for printing purposes from State offices, EPA Regional
Offices, and EPA Headquarters.
(c) If the State to which the shipment is manifested (i.e., consignment State) supplies
the manifest and requires its use, then the generator must use that manifest.
(d) If the consignment State does not supply the manifest, but the state in which the
generator is located (i.e., generator State) supplies the manifest and requires its use,
then the generator must use that State's manifest.
(e) If both the consignment State and the generator State supply manifests and require
their use, the generator must use the consignment State's manifest.
(f) If neither the generator State nor the consignment State supplies the manifest, the
generator may obtain the manifest from any source.
(g) A generator shall designate on the manifest one off-site commercial storage or
disposal facility approved under this part for the commercial storage or disposal of the
PCBs and PCB Items described on the manifest.
(h) If the transporter is unable to deliver the PCB waste to the designated disposer or
commercial storer, the transporter must contact the generator of the PCB waste for
instructions. The generator shall either designate another approved disposer or commercial
storer, or instruct the transporter to return the PCB waste back to the generator.
(i) The manifest which accompanies the PCB waste shall consist of, at a minimum, the
number of copies required to provide the generator, the initial transporter, each
subsequent transporter, and the owner or operator of the designated commercial storage or
disposal facility with one legible copy each for their records, and one additional copy to
be returned to the generator by the owner or operator of the first designated commercial
storage or disposal facility.
(j) The requirements of this section apply only to PCB wastes as defined in §761.3. This
includes PCB wastes with PCB concentrations below 50 ppm where the PCB concentration below
50 ppm was the result of dilution; these PCB wastes are required, under §761.1(b). to be
managed as if they contained PCB concentrations greater than 50 ppm. An example of such a
PCB waste is spill cleanup material containing less than 50 ppm PCBs when the spill
involved material containing greater than 50 ppm.
