owner or operator of each resources recovery facility and each solid waste disposal area
shall submit a report to the Commissioner of Environmental Protection quarterly with
respect to the calendar quarter beginning on October 1, 1989, and each calendar quarter
thereafter, on or before the last day of the month immediately following the end of each
quarter. Such report shall be on a form prescribed by the commissioner and shall provide
such information the commissioner deems necessary, including but not limited to, the
amount of solid waste, by weight or other method acceptable to the commissioner,
received from each municipal or other customer. Such report shall also include for each
Connecticut municipality the total amount of solid waste originating therefrom. The
owner or operator shall submit to each such municipality a copy of all such information
pertaining to the municipality. If precise data are not available, the owner or operator
may use a method of estimating acceptable to the commissioner.
(b) The commissioner may require the owner or operator of any other solid waste
facility and, consistent with the requirements of subsection (c) of this section and section
22a-208f, the owner or operator of any recycling facility to report the information specified in subsection (a) in the manner set forth in said subsection. Such requirement shall
be made by written notification to the owner or operator of the facility.

item the information specified in subsection (a) of this section in the manner set forth
in said subsection. If a municipality or collector of recyclable items delivers any of the
items listed in this subsection to a recycling facility which is not located in this state,
such municipality or collector shall notify the commissioner of the name and address
of the owner or operator of such facility and shall ensure, by contract, that such facility
has notice of and complies with the reporting requirements of this section. As used in
