  (2) When both hazardous and Class 1 industrial waste are itemized on the same manifest, an EPA identification number must be used for the generator, transporter, and designated facility.

  (3) A Texas waste code, instead of an EPA waste code, must identify each Class 1 waste itemized on the manifest.

  (4) The term "Hazardous waste" is changed to the term "Class 1 waste."

  (8) A transporter shall clean up any Class 1 waste spill or discharge that occurs during transportation or take such action as required in §327.5 of this title (relating to Actions Required) so that the Class 1 waste discharge no longer presents a hazard to human health or the environment.
