The report shall not include equipment designed to use the PCB-free mineral oil dielectric fluids unless the unit has been serviced with fluid containing 550 ppm or greater of PCBs, or there is any other reason to believe that the unit contains, or was ever mixed with fluid with a concentration level of 500 ppm or greater, or unless testing has specifically shown otherwise.(b) The inventory reports shall be organized alphabetically by county for those counties in which the PCB equipment is in service or was last in service.(c) For each county, the reports shall be organized by political jurisdiction. The information for each political jurisdiction shall be divided into sections, one section each for transformers, capacitors, gas compressors and other equipment as applicable. Each section shall then be organized into overhead, underground, substation, power plant and compressor station categories.(d) In the in-service equipment inventory, the equipment in each category shall be organized and identified by location. At each location, the size, quantity, and service date shall be reported.(e) A separate summary sheet of in-service equipment shall indicate by section, one section each for transformers, capacitors, gas compressors, and other equipment, the total number of PCB items and the total amount of PCBs in each county and political jurisdiction. In addition, company-wide grand totals shall be provided for PCB transformers, PCB capacitors, and other PCB equipment.(f) In the retired PCB equipment inventory, the material in each category shall be organized and identified by the last in-service location. The following information shall be provided, if applicable, for each item: the size, the quantity, the retirement date, the location of facilities at which the equipment was stored or processed, the date of shipment of PCBs and PCB equipment within or out of New York State, a description of the New York State portion of the shipping route, and a statement of the ultimate destination for out-of-state shipments. The storage/processing facilities and the shipping dates or routes need not be reported for activities that took place prior to the date the equipment was determined to contain 500 ppm or greater of PCBs.(g) In the reporting of discoveries by the gas corporations of materials with PCB concentrations of 50 ppm or more found at custody points or gate stations, reporting forms supplied by the gas unit shall be used to provide information on: company name and reporting dates, location and type of collection point, approximate date of delivery, date of removal, volume of material removed, PCB concentration (ppm), source of PCB material (supplier if single source can be identified), and method of removal. The reports shall be signed by a responsible company official.
