designated on the manifest form, a copy of which shall be presented to
the generator prior to transportation, and which either hold operation
permits issued under this article, are a permittee under the Federal
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of nineteen hundred seventy-six
or any amendments thereof, or are otherwise duly authorized to accept
hazardous waste; and

to insure proper cleaning and removal of hazardous waste and its residue
from such equipment.
