Disposal Facility Receipt Confirmation Register

PROBLEM: The generator's liability does not end when the truck leaves the dock — it ends only when the laboratory or facility receives confirmation of disposal from the treatment, storage and disposal facility. The signed copy of the manifest coming back from the TSDF is that confirmation. A generator that never receives it has no proof its waste was ever disposed of — and the waste is still legally its responsibility.

SOLUTION: A disposal facility receipt confirmation register: every shipment tracked from pickup to the TSDF's signed receipt, with unconfirmed shipments flagged and chased — so a generator's liability is closed by a confirmed receipt, never by assumption.

EVIDENCE BASIS: DOCUMENTED — generator liability ends only on confirmation of disposal from the TSDF; TSDF returns a signed copy (or submits it electronically to e-Manifest); sources: safety.mlsascp.com; epa.gov.
