Non-special waste certification; effect on permit.
(a) An industrial process waste or pollution control waste not within the
exception set forth in subdivision (2) of subsection (c) of Section 3.475 of this Act must be managed as special waste unless the generator
first certifies in a signed, dated, written statement that the waste is outside
the scope of the categories listed in subdivision (1) of subsection (c) of
Section 3.475 of this Act.
(b) All information used to determine that the waste is not a special waste
shall be attached to the certification. The information shall include but not
be limited to:
(1) the means by which the generator has determined | ||
| ||
(2) the means by which the generator has determined | ||
| ||
(3) if the waste undergoes testing, the analytic | ||

(d) Certification made pursuant to this Section, with the requisite
attachments, shall be maintained by the certifying generator while effective
and for at least 3 years following a change in the generator, a change in the
raw materials used, or a change in or termination of the process generating
the waste. The generator shall provide a copy of the certification, upon
request by the Agency, the waste hauler, or the operator of the facility
receiving the waste for storage, treatment, or disposal, to the party
requesting the copy. If the Agency believes that the waste that is the
subject of the certification has been inaccurately certified to, the Agency

results.
(e) A person who knowingly and falsely certifies that a waste is not special
waste is subject to the penalties set forth in subdivision (6) of subsection

(f) To the extent that a term or condition of an existing permit requires
the permittee to manage as special waste a material that is made a non-special
waste under Public Act 90-502, that term
or condition is hereby superseded, and the permittee may manage that material
as a non-special waste, even if the material is identified in the permit as
part of a particular waste stream rather than identified specifically as a
special waste.
