§ 284.734. Significant discrepancies.

 (a)  This section applies if there is a significant discrepancy in a manifest. A discrepancy is a difference between the quantity or type of waste designated on the manifest, and the quantity or type of waste a facility actually receives. A significant discrepancy occurs if one or more of the following apply:

   (1)  There is a variation greater than 5% in weight, for bulk waste.

   (2)  There is a variation in piece count, for batch waste.

   (3)  There is a difference in waste type which can be discovered by inspection or waste analysis.

 (b)  If there is a significant discrepancy in a manifest, the owner or operator shall attempt to reconcile the discrepancy before the waste is processed or disposed at the facility or before the waste is accepted at a transfer facility. If the discrepancy is not resolved within 3 days of receipt of the waste, the owner or operator shall immediately notify the appropriate regional office of the Department by telephone. Within 7 days of receipt of the waste, the owner or operator shall also send a letter to the regional office describing the discrepancy and attempts to reconcile it, and include a legible copy of the relevant manifest.
