RCRA requires large quantity hazardous
waste generators and treatment, storage, and disposal facilities
(TSDFs) to submit a report every other year (the Biennial Report)
on the quantity, composition, and disposition of hazardous wastes
they generate or receive for treatment, storage, or disposal. To
implement these provisions, EPA issued the Biennial Report
regulations, found in 40 CFR 262.41, 264.75, and 265.75. Generators
and TSDFs must submit the Biennial Report forms by March 1 of every
even numbered year for their hazardous waste activities in the
previous (odd numbered) year. Through the Biennial Report forms and
instructions, EPA tells generators and TSDFs what information they
must provide.
