The form must be completed and signed by the generator owner or principal executive officer or waste hauler and returned to the Control Authority. The hauler shall ensure that tank generators and hauler operators are informed of and comply with all applicable provisions of this article. Before approval of the generator tank discharge, the Control Authority may require additional information of the generator that may include sampling, analysis of tank contents or certified lab report of tank contents and/or inspection of the generator facility. Upon receipt of all requests, the Control Authority will make its best efforts to either accept or reject a hauler within 30 days.

Issue the hauler and/or generator of the waste a notice of noncompliance and repeat analysis on the next hauled discharge from the violating generator, and/or repeat analysis directly from the violating generator holding tank;
(2) 
Revoke the waste hauler's approval and prohibit discharges by the hauler and/or the violating generator of the waste;
(3) 
Charge the hauler/generator for any sample collection or lab analysis costs, or any costs for damage done to the treatment facility equipment or processes.
