The owner or operator of a facility is responsible for preparing and submitting the reports described in this section.

1. (1) Unmanifested waste reports. If a facility accepts any dangerous waste from an off-site source without an accompanying manifest, or without an accompanying shipping paper as described in WAC 173-303-370(3) for water (bulk shipment) transporters, and if the waste is not excluded from the manifest requirements by this chapter, then the owner or operator must prepare and submit a letter to the department within fifteen days after receiving the waste. Submit the letter to the appropriate department of ecology regional office. The letter is the unmanifested waste report, and must contain the following information:

   1. (a) The EPA/state identification number, name, and address of the facility;
   2. (b) The date the facility received the waste;
   3. (c) The EPA/state identification number, name, and address of the generator and the transporter, if available;
   4. (d) A description and the quantity of each unmanifested dangerous waste the facility received;
   5. (e) The method of management for each dangerous waste;
   6. (f) The certification signed by the owner or operator of the facility or his or her authorized representative; and
   7. (g) A brief explanation of why the waste was unmanifested, if known.

2. (2) Annual reports. The owner or operator of a facility that holds an active EPA/state identification number must prepare and submit a single copy of an annual report to the department by March 1 of each year. The report form and instructions in the Dangerous Waste Annual Report (which may be obtained from the department) must be used for this report. In addition, any facility which ships dangerous waste off-site must comply with the annual reporting requirements of WAC 173-303-220. The annual report must cover facility activities during the previous calendar year and must include, but is not limited to the following information:

   1. (a) The EPA/state identification number, name, and address of the facility;
   2. (b) The calendar year covered by the report;
   3. (c) For off-site facilities, the EPA/state identification number of each dangerous waste generator from which the facility received a dangerous waste during the year. For imported shipments, the report must give the name and address of the foreign generator;
   4. (d) A description and the quantity of each dangerous waste the facility received during the year. For off-site facilities, this information must be listed by EPA/state identification number of each generator;
   5. (e) The method of treatment, storage, or disposal for each dangerous waste;
   6. (f) The most recent closure cost estimate under WAC 173-303-620(3) (or 40 C.F.R. 265.142 for interim status facilities), and for disposal facilities, the most recent post-closure cost estimate under WAC 173-303-620(5) (or 40 C.F.R. 265.144 for interim status facilities);
   7. (g) For generators who treat, store, or dispose of hazardous waste on-site, a description of the efforts undertaken during the year to reduce the volume and toxicity of waste generated;
   8. (h) For generators who treat, store, or dispose of hazardous waste on-site, a description of the changes in volume and toxicity of waste actually achieved during the year in comparison to previous years to the extent such information is available for the years prior to 1984; and
   9. (i) The certification signed in accordance with the requirements of WAC 173-303-810(12).

3. (3) Additional reports. The owner or operator must report to the department:

   1. (a) Releases of dangerous wastes, fires, and explosions as specified in WAC 173-303-360 (2)(k);
   2. (b) Interim status groundwater monitoring data, as specified in 40 C.F.R. 265.94 (a)(2) and (b)(2);
   3. (c) Facility closures specified in WAC 173-303-610(6); and

   4. (d) As otherwise required by WAC 173-303-645 through 173-303-665, WAC 173-303-690 through 173-303-692, and WAC 173-303-400.
