(a) For the purposes of this Code section, "out-of-state generator" means any large quantity hazardous waste generator generating hazardous waste at a location outside the State of Georgia.

(b) As a condition of allowing any out-of-state generator to store, treat, or dispose of hazardous waste at a hazardous waste disposal facility located within the State of Georgia, such out-of-state generator shall prepare and submit to the director upon his request a hazardous waste reduction plan and biennial hazardous waste reduction progress reports in substantial compliance with the requirements of Code Sections 12-8-65.1 and 12-8-65.2.

(c) No hazardous waste disposal facility shall accept hazardous waste from an out-of-state generator unless the out-of-state generator presents to the owner or operator of the hazardous waste facility certification that the out-of-state generator is in compliance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Code section. Such certification shall be made under oath or affirmation of the person making such certification that the contents of such certification are true and shall be made by a corporate officer, partner, or owner of such generator. It shall be unlawful to make a false statement on such certification and the making of a false statement shall be punishable as an act of false swearing under Code Section 16-10-71.

Section 6901, et seq.), as amended, or the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (Public Law 96-510), as amended, and shall not apply to a commercial hazardous waste treatment, storage, or disposal facility upon certification to the director that because of the nature of its business operation or process such facility cannot meet the waste reduction requirement prescribed under Code Sections 12-8-65.1 and 12-8-65.2 and subsections (a), (b), and (c) of this Code section. Such certification shall be made under oath or affirmation of the person making such certification that the contents of such certification are true and shall be made by a corporate officer, partner, or owner of such facility. It shall be unlawful to make a false statement on such certification and the making of such false statement shall be punishable as an act of false swearing under Code Section 16-10-71.
