• 8. (1) The owner or operator of a dry-cleaning machine shall

  • (a) have waste water transported to a waste management facility no less than once every 12 months; or

  • (b) have waste water treated by the dry-cleaning machine’s or the carbon adsorber’s integral tetrachloroethylene-water separator and an on-site waste water treatment system that contains the following equipment:

    • (i) a second tetrachloroethylene-water separator that recovers tetrachloroethylene from the waste water exiting the integral tetrachloroethylene-water separator,

    • (ii) an initial filter containing activated carbon that removes the tetrachloroethylene from the waste water exiting the second tetrachloroethylene-water separator,

    • (iii) a monitor-alarm that automatically shuts down the waste water treatment system when the initial filter becomes saturated with tetrachloroethylene, and

    • (iv) a second filter containing activated carbon that removes tetrachloroethylene from the waste water after it passes through the initial filter and past the monitor-alarm.

10. No person shall transfer tetrachloroethylene into a dry-cleaning machine, tank or other container at a facility where a dry-cleaning machine is used unless a closed direct-coupled delivery system is used during the transfer process that prevents the release of tetrachloroethylene.

11. A person who, in a calendar year, imports tetrachloroethylene into Canada shall

• (a) maintain books and records respecting the importation; and
