(b) If a facility receives, from a rail or water (bulk shipment) transporter, hazardous waste which is accompanied by a shipping paper containing all the information required on the manifest (excluding the Identification Numbers, generator's certification, and signatures), the owner or operator, or the facility's agent, shall:

(5) within 30 days of each receipt of hazardous waste submit to the Department a legible copy of each manifest or shipping paper (if the manifest has not been received) used; and

(6) retain at the facility a copy of the manifest and shipping paper (if signed in lieu of the manifest at the time of delivery) for at least three years from the date of delivery.

(c) Whenever a shipment of hazardous waste is initiated from a facility, the owner or operator of that facility shall comply with the requirements of chapter 12 of this division.

(d) In addition to submitting a copy of the manifest to the department, if a facility receives federally regulated hazardous waste imported from a foreign source, the receiving facility shall mail a copy of the manifest to the following address within 30 days of delivery: International Compliance Assurance Division, OFA/OECA (2254A), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Ariel Rios Building, 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20460.
