Martin BeE #: HFHQ38001089 2615 Eye Street Bakersfield, CA 93303-2615 Dear Mr. Martin: You have recently requested to reinstate your Initial Notification of Intent to Operate Under Permit by Rule (PBR) (DTSC Form 8462) for your facility located at 2615 Eye Street, Bakersfield, CA. We have reviewed your letter dated July 1 1992, and have approved your request to be reinstated. We had approved your earlier request to withdraw your initial notification. We are also reinstating you in the PBR data system. We are informing the Board of Equalization that you have ~ reinstated your initial notification and, if you have not alread~y paid, then you do owe the PBR fee. The PBR fee is $1109 if you notified by June 30, 1992 and $1140 if you notified after that date. We have enclosed a copy of the June 22, 1992 letter on the extension of the deadline for subsequent PBR notifications to January 1, 1993 and an updated order form for PBR documents. If you have any questions or need further information, please call the appropriate regional office at the number listed on the enclosed map, or call the Permit by Rule Unit at the letterhead address.

Martin BOE #: HFHQ38001089 2615 Eye Street Bakersfield, CA 93303-2615 Dear Mr. Martin: You have recently requested to withdraw your Initial Notification of Intent to Operate Under Permit by Rule (PBR) (DTSC Form 8462) for your facility located at 2615 Eye St, Bakersfield, CA. We have reviewed your letter dated April 9, 1992, and have approved your request to withdraw your initial notification. We are also removing you from the PBR data system. You stated that you want to withdraw because: ' You will utilize the services of a permitted hazardous waste hauler for off-site treatment and disposal. If you treated hazardous waste at any time in the past, you may be subject to past annual fees as a hazardous waste facility for acting in a manner requiring a treatment permit. Assembly Bill 646 provides for a retroactive exemption from those fees for facilities that: (a) treat less than 150 gallons of silver photofinishing waste in any calendar month during a reporting period or Co) that become authorized under permit by rule and submit the 8462 by June 30, 1992. By withdrawing your form DTSC 8462, you will not be eligible for that exemption. These fees can total at least $10,000 a year depending on the quantity of waste treated. By submitting an Initial Notification of Intent to Operate Under Permit by Rule (DTSC Form 8462), you became subject to an $1,109 fee to be billed by the Board of Equalization. We are informing the Board of Equalization that you filed in error and that we have approved your request to withdraw your initial notification. If you have any questions or need further information, please call the appropriate regional office at the number listed on the enclosed map, or call the Permit by Rule Unit at the letterhead address.

This letter only acknowledges receipt of that notification, and does not authorize operation of any treatment activity at your facility. Enclosed are DTSC Forms 8462A (Fixed Treatment Unit (FTU) Permit by Rule Facility-Specific Notification) and 8462B (FTU Permit by Rule Unit-Specific Notification). If you are currently operating your fixed treatment unit, you must submit the completed Forms 8462A and 8462B for your facility by April 1, 1992, including all required attachments. You must include a completed Form 8462B for each unit at your facility. We have also enclosed a copy of the Disclosure Statement, form DTSC 8430, the Certification of Financial Responsibility for PBR Operation, DTSC 8113, and a package of other Financial Responsibility forms from which you can select the proper forms for one or more of the acceptable financial mechanisms. An order form for PBR documents (1002) is attached with a map of our regional offices printed on the back. If you need additional forms, they may be obtained from the nearest regional office of the DTSC, or by contacting this office. California law requires that the enclosed forms be certified (signed) by an authorized corporate officer or any other person in a company who performs decision making functions that govern operation of the facility. (See Title 22, California Code of Regulations, Section 67450.2 subds. (a)(2) and (b)(3) and Section 66270.11.) Our staff must rely upon job titles to judge if the signer has decision making authority for your facility. For instance, a vice president or general manager would clearly be authorized to certify (sign) while an environmental manager or safety officer would not. If the forms are improperly signed the notification will be rejected and returned to you and you will have to resubmit the entire notification package. Paqe 2 EPA ID: CAD074328048 Since this is your initial notification for operation under a Permit by Rule for your facility, you will be billed by the Board of Equalization for the fee specified in Section 25205.7(h) of Chapter 6.5, Division 20, of the California Health and Safety Code. The fee is $1,109 this year and will be adjusted annually for inflation on July 1st. That fee will also cover your first Facility-Specific and Unit-Specific notifications, mentioned above. Additional fees will be due for the annual notifications you must submit in future years. You are also required to amend these notifications whenever any information changes. You will be charged one-half of the annual fee ($555 this year) for each amended notification which you submit. Hazardous waste laws and regulations are detailed and complex. At any time, you may be inspected by the DTSC or your local county health department. Violations of laws or regulations which are found may make you liable for criminal, civil or administrative penalties, as provided by law. If you have questions on completing the required forms, or have questions on operating requirements for your operation, please contact the nearest DTSC regional office, or this office at the letterhead address or phone number.
