There are three primary circumstances which warrant entry
of a new SWIS number. They are:
How to Get A Number
Requests for new SWIS numbers originate
with the LEA (EA) or CIWMB.
SWIS numbers are assigned by the California Integrated Waste Management Board
(CIWMB) after receipt of a completed
and signed SWIS data entry form (PDF Adobe Acrobat, 152 KB or Word 97/2000, 159 KB)
) and attached supporting documentation. Operators
and LEAs are not authorized to assign SWIS numbers (14 CCR 18020(b)). Information used to complete
the form can come from one or more of the following sources:
- CEQA documents
- Permit application or EA notification document/application
- Site investigation process (SIP) identification form or site assessment form
- Other supporting documents such as closure plans, waste discharge
requirements (WDRs), etc.
Supporting document(s) must be attached to the SWIS data entry form when submitting a request for a new SWIS
number.
LEAs should send the completed signed and dated SWIS data entry form
with any attached supporting document(s) to your CIWMB Permitting and
Enforcement Division contact staff person.
The Permitting and Enforcement Division staff person will review the data
entry form for completeness, sign and date it and then forward it along with any
attachments to SWIS liaison staff
in the Facilities Operations Branch.
Currently, only SWIS liaisons in the Facilities Operations
Branch have authorization to assign new SWIS numbers. These staff are trained
to properly search the SWIS database to verify that the site has not already
been issued a number.
