(a) All permitted disposal facilities shall report each quarter to the Department. In their report to the Department, a disposal facility shall provide the following information for all tons disposed, with the exception of tires and biomass that have been separated from other solid waste prior to receipt by an EMSW conversion facility, using the methods in section 18815.9 of this article:
(1) For all tons received for disposal from a transfer/processor, report the tons of each stream disposed, including solid waste, disaster debris, and designated waste from each transfer/processor, and their contact information and RDRS number, if applicable.
(2) For all direct-hauled material, report the total aggregated tons of each of the following streams: solid waste, disaster debris, and designated waste.
(A) Report the tons of solid waste disposed from each jurisdiction of origin.
(B) Report an estimate of the aggregated solid waste tons, or overall percentage, from each source sector, using methods described in section 18815.9(c) of this article.
(C) For direct-hauled disaster debris not commingled with other solid waste, report the tons disposed.
(D) For direct-hauled designated waste not commingled with other solid waste, report the tons disposed.
(E) Include accepted residuals generated by a recycling or composting facility or operation that is reporting under the same RDRS number as a disposal facility, pursuant to section 18815.3(d)(6) of this article, in the total tons accepted as direct-hauled, assigning the tons to a jurisdiction of origin determined pursuant to section 18815.9(b)(2.4) of this article.
(b) In their report to the Department, a disposal facility shall provide the following information for all tons sent off-site, using the methods in section 18815.9 of this article. If materials are created, separated, or recovered as a result of on-site activities, then they are considered as having been generated by the disposal facility. If a disposal facility receives and directly transfers material that is not solid waste, designated waste, disaster debris, or material for potential beneficial reuse to another reporting entity inside or outside California, then that material is considered as having been generated by the disposal facility.
(1) For solid waste and material for potential beneficial reuse generated on-site and sent to a disposal facility or transfer/processor inside or outside California, report the tons sent for disposal or potential beneficial reuse to each facility by material type, pursuant to section 18815.9(a) of this article, and the facility's contact information and RDRS number, if applicable.
(2) For material generated by the disposal facility, report pursuant to section 18815.9 of this article for tons sent:
(A) To each recycling or composting facility or operation with a different RDRS number, or for recycling at each transfer/processor with a different RDRS number inside California, by material type, pursuant to section 18815.9(a) of this article, and their contact information and RDRS number, if applicable.
(B) To an end user, by each end user category by region, pursuant to section 18815.3(k) of this article, and by material type, pursuant to section 18815.9(a)(2) of this article.
(C) To a broker or transporter:
(i) In cases where the final destination of the material is determined by the reporting disposal facility, report pursuant to subsections (b)(2)(A) and (b)(2)(B).
(ii) In cases where the final destination of the material is not determined by the reporting disposal facility, and if the broker or transporter receives the material within California, then report tons of each material type, pursuant to section 18815.9(a) of this article, sent to each broker or transporter and their contact information and RDRS number, if applicable.
(iii) In cases where the final destination of the material is not determined by the reporting disposal facility, and if the broker or transporter receives the material outside California, then report tons of each material type, pursuant to section 18815.9(a) of this article, by region.
(D) To a recycling or composting facility or operation with the same RDRS number, report pursuant to section 18815.9(h) of this article.
(E) To a recycling or composting facility or operation outside California, or for recycling at each transfer/processor with a different RDRS number outside California, report the tons of each material type by region.
(3) If a disposal facility receives solid waste, designated waste, disaster debris, or material for potential beneficial reuse and directly transfers that material to a transfer/processor or another disposal facility inside or outside California, then that material is not considered as having been generated on-site, and this section shall not apply to such material. The sending disposal facility shall register as a transfer/processor and follow all requirements for that material as specified for transfer/processors in section 18815.5 of this article.
