§ 18808.4. Hauler Records: Retention, Access, and Investigations.
(a) A hauler shall prepare disposal reporting records and shall:
(1) Include all information, methods, and calculations required by this Article.
(2) Keep quarterly documentation that verifies jurisdiction of origin allocations reported to facilities and agencies pursuant to sections 18808.7 and 18808.9(a), respectively.
(3) Use a reasonable method to gather the information, such as locally required or facility specific reporting forms, electronic systems, or the optional paper or electronic reporting forms developed by the Board.
(4) Maintain all records for three years in a usable format, such as on electronic media (computer files) or paper copies.
(5) Allow representatives of involved jurisdictions, the agency, operators, districts, and the Board to inspect the records during normal business hours in a single location within California. Operators shall only be allowed to inspect records relating to their own operations. A hauler is not required to provide records of a jurisdiction's disposal information for reporting years for which the Board has already completed the biennial review cycle for the applicable jurisdiction pursuant to section 41825 of the Public Resources Code.
(A) Upon a request to review records, the hauler shall make the records promptly available for inspection. The hauler shall respond to the request within ten days, but may indicate that additional time is necessary to make the records available due to time necessary to search for, collect and examine records to respond to the request. In no case shall the inspection be delayed more than an additional 14 days, unless agreed to by the requestor.
(B) If copies of specific records are requested, either in lieu of inspection or after inspection, the hauler shall respond to the request for copies within ten days, but may indicate that additional time is necessary to make the copies due to time necessary to search for, collect and examine records to respond to the request. In no case shall the copies be delayed more than an additional 14 days, unless agreed to by the requestor. The hauler may charge a fee to cover the actual cost of copying. In no case shall the fee exceed ten cents per page, unless local public records act requirements establish another rate.
(C) If a hauler or operator believes that a records request includes information that has been labeled confidential or proprietary by the entity providing that information as defined in sections 17044 through 17046, the hauler shall inform the Board. The Board shall use the procedures set forth in section 17046 to determine which records, or parts of records, may be inspected.
(b) A hauler shall respond to requests for clarification regarding their records within ten days. Requests must be specific and clearly stated in writing.
(c) The Board may investigate all information, methods, and calculations pursuant to this Article. If the Board determines that any information is inaccurate, the Board may require corrected information.
(d) If a public contract hauler that is a jurisdiction fails to comply with this section, and that failure prevents the Board from accurately determining the jurisdiction's level of Source Reduction and Recycling Element implementation, the Board may initiate the process to issue a compliance order as set forth in section 41825 of the Public Resources Code.
