Document Description
Variance to Ventura County from hazardous waste permit and manifest requirements of Health and Safety Code Sections 25201 and 25160. The variance authorizes Ventura County to collect and to transport CESQG wastes using a registered transporter. Individual receipts will be provided to the CESQG and the collected wastes will be delivered under bill-of-lading to a permit-by-rule household hazardous waste collection facility for further management. The collections provide appropriate means for CESQGs to dispose of hazardous waste. Ventura County is additionally authorized to collect historical hazardous waste accumulations (up to 1,000 kilograms) from qualified CESQGs. These collections are authorized on a one-time basis per business location. As a condition of any accumulation collections, the businesses will be further required to participate in a regular drop off or collection program. The variance is based on the evidence that: 1. The variance requirements are protective of human health and safety, and the environment; 2. Only personnel trained in hazardous waste management shall handle and transport hazardous waste and; 3. All collected wastes will be further managed by authorized facilities.

Reasons for Exemption
The project will not have a potential for significant effects on the environment because:
1. The collection and transportation will be conducted by qualified personnel, trained in hazardous waste management and all activities will be carefully regulated by variance conditions to protect human health and the environment.
2. The limited term of operation and quick removal of wastes offsite limit the potential for any risk of upset or accident.
