PCB Records and Reports

 

Laboratories that generate PCB waste must submit a "Notification of PCB Activity" ( EPA Form 7710-53 ) to EPA's OTS.

 

 

Generator ID Number

After receiving the notification, EPA will issue waste generators an identification number [ 40 CFR 761.205 ]. If you already have a RCRA generator ID number, you will be issued the same PCB generator ID number.

Manifests

When shipping PCB wastes, laboratories must complete the uniform hazardous waste manifest. TSCA manifesting requirements
[ 40 CFR 761.207 ] are similar to RCRA manifesting requirements.

Annual Document Requirement

If >=45 kg (99.4 lbs) of PCBs are stored on site at any one time, then the facility owner/operator must prepare an annual document, by July 1 of each year, including the following information:

  • Dates PCB items are removed from service and placed in storage for disposal.
  • Quantities of PCB materials placed in storage for disposal.
  • Description of each PCB item or container placed in storage for disposal.
  • Description of each PCB item or container still in service at the facility (i.e., all samples known to contain >= 50 ppm PCBs).

54 FR 52716

The rules discussed above were codified [ 40 CFR 761.180 ] on December 21, 1989 [54 FR 52716].
