Dear Onsite Treatment Facility:
The Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) has received your letter and/or
notice informing DTSC and/or the California Board of Equalization (BOE) of the closure of your
facility or treatment unit(s).
Pursuant to your request, DTSC considers your treatment unit to be closed and no longer
subject to the standards of your treatment authorization tier. DTSC will change your status in its
Tiered Permitting database to "closed" and forward a copy of this letter to BOE for billing
purposes.
DTSC is acknowledging your closure letter because the closure date is prior to January 1,
· 1998. Pursuant to Assembly Bill 1357, as of January 1, 1998, Certified Unified Program
Agencies (CUPAs) are responsible for processing Conditionally Authorized and Conditionally
Exempt notifications and closures.
If you have re-located and continue to treat hazardous waste at the new site you need to
(1) obtain an EPA ID number for the new site and, (2) submit an onsite treatment notification
form to your local CUPA and a copy to DTSC. Please see the cc on page 2 for your local CUPA
information. If there is no CUPA listed, your non-CUPA agency will be listed.

The waste is treated in an accumulation tank or container within 90 days for over 1000 kg/month generators and
180 or 270 days for generators of 100 to 1000 kg/month. 40 CFR 262.34, 40 CFR 270. l(c)(2)(i), and the Preamble

Dear Conditionally Authorized and/or Conditionally Exempt Facility:
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF UNITS OPERATING UNDER CONDITIONAL AUTHORIZATION AND/OR
CONDITIONAL EXEMPTION
The Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) has received your facility specific notification (form
DTSC 1772) and forms for Conditional Authorization and/or Conditional Exemption for Specified Wastestreams (form
DTSC 1772B and/or 1772C). Your notifications are ~lrninistratively complete, but have not been reviewed for technical
adequacy. A technical review of your notifications will be conducted when an inspection is performed. At any time,
you may be inspected and will be subject to penalty if violations of laws or regulations are found.
The Depa~ment acknowledges receipt of your comple~__~l_ notification for the treatment unit(s) listed on the last
page of this letter. These units operating under Conditional Authorization or Conditional Exemption are nuthorized by
California law without additional Department action, pursuant to Health and Safety Code sections '25200.3 and 25201.5.
Your authorization to operate continues until you notify DTSC that you have stopped treating waste and have fully
closed the unit(s). You will be charged annual fees calculated on a calendar year basis for each year you operate and
have not notified DTSC that the units have been closed.
You must notify the DTSC 60 days before first treating hn~n~dous wastes in any new unit. You must also
notify the DTSC whenever any of the information you provided in these notifications changes. To revise information,
mail a cover letter to the above address explaining the changes, attach only the pages of your notification package that
have changed, and re-sign and date at the signature space on page 3 of form 1772.
Your status to operate under Conditional Authorization and/or Conditional Exemption is contingent upon the
accuracy of information submitted by you in the notifications mentioned above, and your compliance with all applicable
requirements in the Health and Safety Code. Any misnam~mtstion or any failure to fully disclose all relevant, facts
shah render your authorization to operate null and void. . .
You are also required to proPerly close any treatment unit. Additional guidance on closure will be issued and
distributed to all authorized onsite fw:ilities later this year. "-'
