| Description: | When the owner and the operator of a process unit are different, EPA looks first to the operator to fulfill generator duties, although the owner remains jointly liable. If the unit’s owner operates the unit but another party owns the chemical raw materials and removes the hazardous waste, both parties are cogenerators. EPA typically looks first to the party designated by the cogenerators to fulfill generator duties. Where the responsible party is not clearly designated, EPA looks to the operator of the process unit (SEE ALSO: 45 FR 72026; 10/30/80). |
