Ohio Admin. Code 3745-54-72 - Manifest discrepancies
(A) Manifest discrepancies are:
(1) Significant differences [as described in
paragraph (B) of this rule] between the quantity or type of hazardous waste
designated on the manifest or shipping paper, and the quantity and type of
hazardous waste a facility actually receives;
(2) Rejected wastes, which may be a full or
partial shipment of hazardous waste that the treatment, storage, or disposal
facility cannot accept; or
(3)
Container residues, which are residues that exceed the quantity limits for
"empty" containers provided in paragraph (B) of rule
3745-51-07
and rule
3745-266-507 of the
Administrative Code.
(B)
Significant differences in quantity are, for bulk waste, variations greater
than ten per cent in weight; for batch waste, any variation in piece count,
such as a discrepancy of one drum in a truckload. Significant differences in
type are obvious differences which can be discovered by inspection or waste
analysis, such as waste solvent substituted for waste acid, or toxic
constituents not reported on the manifest or shipping paper.
(C) Upon discovering a significant difference
in quantity or type, the owner or operator shall attempt to reconcile the
discrepancy with the waste generator or transporter (e.g., with telephone
conversations). If the discrepancy is not resolved within fifteen days after
receiving the waste, the owner or operator shall immediately submit to the
director a letter describing the discrepancy and the attempts to reconcile the
discrepancy, and a copy of the manifest or shipping paper at issue.
(D)
(1)
Upon rejecting waste or identifying a container residue that exceeds the
quantity limits for "empty" containers provided in paragraph (B) of rule
3745-51-07 of the Administrative
Code, the owner or operator shall consult with the generator prior to
forwarding the waste to another facility that can manage the waste. If an
alternative facility that can receive the waste is impossible to locate, the
owner or operator may return the rejected waste or residue to the generator.
The owner or operator shall send the waste to the alternative facility or to
the generator within sixty days after the rejection or the container residue
identification.
(2) While the owner
or operator is making arrangements for forwarding rejected wastes or residues
to another facility under this rule, the owner or operator shall ensure that
the delivering transporter retains custody of the waste, or the owner or
operator shall provide for secure, temporary custody of the waste, pending
delivery of the waste to the first transporter designated on the manifest
prepared under paragraph (E) or (F) of this rule.
(E) Except as provided in paragraph (E)(7) of
this rule, for full or partial load rejections and residues that are to be sent

Certification" to certify, as the offeror of the shipment, that the waste is
properly packaged, marked, and labeled, and is in proper condition for
transportation, and mail a signed copy of the manifest to the generator

(7) For full load rejections that are made
while the transporter remains present at the facility, the owner or operator
may forward the rejected shipment to the alternate facility by completing item
18b of the original manifest and supplying the information on the next
destination facility in the "Alternate Facility" block
space. The owner
or operator shall retain a copy of this manifest for the facility's records,
