2007 Hazardous Waste Report
Instructions and Forms
This is an ongoing information collection from hazardous waste generators and hazardous waste treatment, storage,
or disposal facilities. This collection is done on a two-year cycle as required by Sections 3002 and 3004 of the
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). The information is collected via a mechanism known as the
Hazardous Waste Report for the required reporting year [EPA Form 8700-13 A/B](also known as the Biennial Report).
Both RCRA Sections 3002 and 3004 require EPA to establish standards for recordkeeping and reporting of hazardous
waste. Section 3002 applies to hazardous waste generators and Section 3004 applies to hazardous waste treatment,
storage, and disposal facilities. The implementing regulations are found at 40 CFR Parts 262.40(b) and (d);
262.41(a)(1)-(5), (a)(8), and (b); 264.75(a)-(e) and (j); 265.75(a)-(e) and (j); and 270.30(l)(9). This is mandatory
reporting by the respondents.
The respondents' submissions (reports) describe each generated hazardous waste, the activity by which they
generated the waste, and the waste quantity; the reports also list the management method by which each waste is
treated, recycled, or disposed and the quantity managed. There are a number of uses of Biennial Report data. EPA
uses Biennial Report data for planning and developing regulations, compliance monitoring, and enforcement. Also,
Biennial Report data allows the Agency to determine whether its regulations are having the desired effect on the
generation and management of hazardous waste. For example, Biennial Report data provides information on whether
waste management has shifted from one method of disposal to another. Some State uses of Report data include support
of planning, fee assessment, compliance monitoring, and enforcement.
Some businesses consider some of their hazardous waste information to be Confidential Business Information
(CBI). A business may, if it desires, protect its Biennial Report information from public disclosure by asserting a claim
of confidentiality covering all or part of its information. When a claim is made EPA will treat the information in
accordance with the confidentiality regulations in 40 CFR Part 2, Subpart B. EPA also ensures that the information
collection procedures comply with the Privacy Act of 1974 and OMB Circular 108.
Estimated Burden: The total annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is
estimated to average 18.26 hours per response. The annual reporting burden is estimated to average 16.70 hours per
response including time for reviewing instructions, gathering data, completing and reviewing the forms, and submitting
the report. The annual recordkeeping requirement is estimated to average 1.56 hours per respondent including the time
for filing and storing the Biennial Report submission.
To comment on the Agency's need for this information, the accuracy of the provided burden estimates, and any
suggested methods for minimizing respondent burden, including the use of automated collection techniques, EPA has
established a public docket for this ICR under Docket ID Number RCRA-2007-0003, which is available for public
viewing at the RCRA Docket in the EPA Docket Center (EPA/DC), EPA West, Room B102, 1301 Constitution Ave.,
NW, Washington, DC. The EPA Docket Center Public Reading Room is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday
through Friday, excluding legal holidays. The telephone number for the Reading Room is (202) 566-1744 and the
telephone number for the RCRA Docket is (202) 566-0270. An electronic version of the public docket is available
through EPA Dockets (EDOCKET) at - http://www.epa.gov/edocket
Use EDOCKET to submit or view public comments, access the index listing of the contents of the public docket,
and to access those documents in the public docket that are available electronically. Once in the system, select
“search,” then key in the docket ID number identified above. Also, you can send comments to the Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, 725 17th Street, NW, Washington, DC 20503,
Attention: Desk Office for EPA. Please include the EPA Docket ID Number RCRA-2007-0003 and OMB Control
Number 2050-0024 in any correspondence.

PURPOSE OF THE 2007 HAZARDOUS WASTE REPORT
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) mission to protect human health and the environment
includes the responsibility to effectively manage, with the States, the nation's hazardous waste. As part of
this task, the EPA and the States collect and maintain information about the generation, management, and
final disposition of the nation's hazardous waste regulated by the Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act (RCRA).
The EPA prepared this booklet for hazardous waste generators and for facilities that treat, store, or
dispose hazardous waste to report their hazardous waste activities for calendar year 2007. The
information collected will:

Provide the EPA and the States with an understanding of hazardous waste generation and
management in the United States.

Help the EPA measure the quality of the environment, such as monitoring industry
compliance with the regulations and evaluating waste minimization efforts taken by industry.

Be summarized and communicated to the public, primarily through publication of the 2007
National Biennial RCRA Hazardous Waste Report.

The data you provide will be entered into a computer database by the State or the EPA Regional Office to
which you return your Hazardous Waste Report. After review to ensure the quality of the data, EPA will
create a national database for this information. Your efforts in carefully filling out all the report forms are
appreciated.

IMPORTANT
Before completing the 2007 Hazardous Waste Report forms, please carefully read the instructions
in this booklet.
IF YOU NEED ASSISTANCE
To obtain assistance in filling out the 2007 Hazardous Waste Report forms, please contact your
State Office. Some States’ reporting requirements differ from the Federal requirements. The list of
State and EPA Regional Office addresses, contact names, telephone numbers, and e-mail addresses

INSTRUCTIONS FOR FILING
THE 2007 HAZARDOUS WASTE REPORT
INTRODUCTION
The instructions and forms for the 2007 Hazardous Waste Report are prepared by the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) for generators and for treatment, storage, and disposal facilities (TSDFs) to
report their hazardous waste activities for 2007.
AUTHORITY
The authority for the 2007 Hazardous Waste Report is contained in Sections 3002 and 3004 of the
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA), as amended by the Hazardous and Solid
Waste Amendments of 1984 (HSWA). Section 3002 requires hazardous waste generators to report to the
EPA or the authorized States, at least every two years, the quantities, nature, and disposition of generated
hazardous waste. Under the authority of Section 3004, the EPA requires reporting by treatment, storage,
and disposal facilities for the wastes they receive.
OVERVIEW OF THE 2007 HAZARDOUS WASTE REPORT
To determine if you are required to file the Hazardous Waste Report, read WHO MUST FILE THE
2007 HAZARDOUS WASTE REPORT on pages iii and iv.

Method code lists.

INSTRUCTIONS
(Continued)
CHANGES IN THE 2007 HAZARDOUS WASTE REPORT
EPA made significant modifications to the Hazardous Waste Report for the 2001 submission based on a
lengthy study of the information needs of EPA and State hazardous waste programs. Those changes were
made to improve the consistency, accuracy, and reliability of the data. EPA has not made any changes in
reporting requirements and forms for this 2007 report; there are some minor editorial changes in the
Instructions and Forms, (i.e., block 10.B. Site ID form).
WHICH FORMS TO SUBMIT AND WHAT TO REPORT
The 2007 Hazardous Waste Report contains the following four forms:
Site ID Form A site required to file the 2007 Hazardous Waste Report must submit the RCRA Subtitle
C Site ID Form (Site ID Form) as a component of the Report.
You will report your current Hazardous Waste Generator status as of the date of
submitting your 2007 Hazardous Waste Report on the Site Identification Form in Item
10.A.1 - Generator of Hazardous Waste. Your status may have changed since 2007
Instructions for the Site ID Form begin on page 7.
Form GM

A site required to file the 2007 Hazardous Waste Report must submit Form GM for all
hazardous waste that was used to determine the site’s generator status. Hazardous waste
must be reported if it was:

Generated and accumulated on site and subsequently managed on site or shipped
off site in 2007; or

Generated and accumulated on site in 2007 but not managed on site or shipped
off site until after 2007; or

Generated and accumulated on site prior to 2007 but either managed on site or
shipped off site in 2007; or

Imported from a foreign country in 2007.

Examples of RCRA hazardous wastes to be reported include those that were:

Generated on site from a production process, service activity, or routine cleanup;

Generated from equipment decommissioning, spill cleanup, or remedial cleanup
activity;

Shipped off site, including hazardous waste that was received from off site
(reported on the Waste Received from Off Site Form (Form WR)) and
subsequently shipped off site without being treated or recycled on site;

Removed from on-site storage for treating, recycling, or disposing on site or
shipped off site.

Derived from the management of non-hazardous waste; or
2

INSTRUCTIONS
(Continued)

Derived from the on-site treatment (including reclamation), disposal, or recycling
of previously existing hazardous waste (as a residual).

DO NOT submit a Form GM for any hazardous waste shipped directly to a foreign
country. An Annual Report must be filed in this case as required under 40 CFR 262.56.
Instructions for Form GM begin on page 18.
Form WR

A site required to file the 2007 Hazardous Waste Report must submit Form WR if, during
2007, it received RCRA hazardous waste from off site and managed the waste on site
(including subsequent transfer off-site).
Instructions for Form WR begin on page 27.

INSTRUCTIONS
(Continued)
CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS INFORMATION (CBI)
You may not withhold information from the Administrator of the EPA because it is confidential.
However, when the Administrator is requested to consider information confidential, it must be treated
according to the EPA regulations contained in Title 40 of the CFR, Part 2, Subpart B. These regulations
provide that a business may, if it desires, assert a claim of business confidentiality covering all or part of
the information furnished to the EPA. 40 CFR 2.203(b) explains how to assert a claim.
The EPA will treat information covered by such a claim in accordance with the procedures set forth in
Subpart B. If someone requests release of information covered by a claim of confidentiality, or if the
EPA otherwise decides to make a determination as to whether such information is entitled to confidential
treatment, the EPA will notify the business. The EPA will not disclose information as to when a claim of
confidentiality has been made except to the extent of and in accordance with 40 CFR Part 2, Subpart B.
However, if the business does not claim confidentiality when it furnishes the information, the EPA may
make the information available to the public without notice to the business.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR FILLING OUT FORM GM WASTE GENERATION AND MANAGEMENT
WHO MUST SUBMIT THIS FORM
A site required to file the 2007 Hazardous Waste Report must submit Form GM if the site generated RCRA
hazardous waste that, in 2007, was accumulated on site; managed on site in a treatment, storage, or disposal
unit; and/or shipped off site for management, consistent with the criteria below. (See WASTES TO BE
REPORTED, below, for specific instructions on generated RCRA hazardous wastes that should be reported
on Form GM. See WASTES NOT TO BE REPORTED, below, for any exclusions or exemptions from
Form GM reporting requirements under the 2007 Hazardous Waste Report.)
PURPOSE OF THIS FORM
Form GM is for reporting on-site hazardous waste generation and management in 2007. Form GM is divided
into three sections that document 1) the source, characteristics, and quantity of hazardous waste generated; 2)
the quantity of hazardous waste managed on site along with the Management Method used; and 3) the
quantity of hazardous waste shipped off site for treatment, disposal, or recycling along with the off-site
Management Method used.
HOW TO FILL OUT THIS FORM
Make and submit a photocopy of Form GM for each generated RCRA hazardous waste that should be
reported, consistent with the criteria discussed below. Prior to photocopying, place the pre-printed site
identification label in the top left-hand corner of the form or, if you did not receive pre-printed labels, enter
the site name and EPA Identification Number in this space.
Use the Comments section at the end of the form to clarify any entry (e.g., “Other” responses) or to continue
any entry. When entering information in the Comments section, cross-reference the section number and box
letter to which the comment refers.

NOTE

Refer to the Special Instructions beginning on page 45 for reporting lab packs, asbestos, PCBs,
waste oils, groundwater contaminated by leachate, and RCRA-radioactive mixed wastes.

WASTES TO BE REPORTED
In general, each generated RCRA hazardous waste that is used to determine the site’s generator status should
be reported on Form GM. (See WASTES NOT TO BE REPORTED, below, for any exclusions or
exemptions from Form GM reporting requirements under the 2007 Hazardous Waste Report.)
A Form GM must be submitted for each generated RCRA hazardous waste. Hazardous waste must be
reported if it was:

Generated and accumulated on site and subsequently managed on site or shipped off site in 2007; or

FORM GM
(Continued)

Generated and accumulated on site in 2007 but not managed on site or shipped off site until after
2007; or
Generated and accumulated on site prior to 2007 but either managed on site or shipped off site in
2007; or
Imported from a foreign country in 2007.

Examples of RCRA hazardous wastes to be reported include those that were:

Generated on site from a production process, service activity, or routine cleanup.

Generated from equipment decommissioning, spill cleanup, or remedial cleanup activity.

Removed from on-site storage.

Derived from the management of non-hazardous waste.

Derived from the on-site treatment (including reclamation), disposal, or recycling of previously
existing hazardous waste (as a residual).

Shipped off site, including hazardous waste that was received from off site (reported on the Waste
Received from Off Site Form (Form WR)) and subsequently shipped off site without being treated or
recycled on site.

Radioactive wastes mixed with RCRA hazardous wastes should also be reported; be sure to mark
“Yes” on the Site Identification Form in Item 10.A.1.e. See the definitions on pages 39, 42, and 43
and see the special instructions on page 46.

Hazardous wastes regulated only by your State should be reported if required by your State.

WASTES NOT TO BE REPORTED
RCRA hazardous wastes exported directly to a foreign country should not be reported on Form GM.
Rather, hazardous waste exports should be reported on the Annual Report required under 40 CFR 262.56.
In addition, materials and wastes identified at 40 CFR 261.4(a) and (b) and 261.5(c) should not be reported
on Form GM. Section 261.4(a) and (b) identify materials and solid wastes that do not qualify as solid or
hazardous wastes, respectively. Section 261.5(c) identifies hazardous wastes that should not be included in a
site’s generator status determination, even if these hazardous wastes were generated at the site.
Following are the materials and wastes addressed under 40 CFR 261.4(a) and (b) and 261.5(c), which should
not be reported on Form GM:

Materials which are excluded from being a solid waste, e.g., any mixture of domestic sewage and
other wastes that passes through a sewer system to a publicly owned treatment works (unless
they are stored or treated in regulated units prior to being discharged). (40 CFR 261.4(a))

Solid wastes that are excluded from being hazardous waste, e.g., petroleum-contaminated
media and debris that fail the test for the toxicity characteristic (Waste Codes D018
19

FORM GM
(Continued)

through D043 only) and are subject to the corrective action regulations under 40 CFR Part 280.
(40 CFR 261.4(b))

Waste exempt from regulation because the waste has not exited the raw material storage or
production unit yet, as specified in 261.4(c). (40 CFR 261.5(c)(1))

Hazardous waste that has been collected as a sample(s) for the purpose of determining its
characteristic or composition, as specified in 261.4(d). (40 CFR 261.5(c)(1))

Sample(s) undergoing treatability studies, as specified in 261.4(e). (40 CFR 261.5(c)(1))

Sample(s) undergoing treatability studies at the laboratory or testing facility, as specified in
261.4(f). (40 CFR 261.5(c)(1))

Hazardous waste that is a specified recyclable material such as ethyl alcohol or scrap metal, as
specified in 261.6(a)(3). (40 CFR 261.5(c)(1))

A residue of hazardous waste in an empty container or in an inner liner removed from an empty
container, as specified in 261.7(a)(1). (40 CFR 261.5(c)(1))

PCB wastes regulated under the Toxic Substance Control Act, as specified in 261.8, unless
mixed with a hazardous waste. (40 CFR 261.5(c)(1))

Wastes managed immediately upon generation only in on-site elementary neutralization units,
wastewater treatment units, or totally enclosed treatment facilities as defined in 40 CFR 260.10.
(40 CFR 261.5(c)(2)) Any hazardous waste residues generated from these units, however,
must be reported on Form GM.

Wastes recycled, without prior storage, only in an on-site process subject to regulation under 40
CFR 261.6(c)(2). (40 CFR 261.5(c)(3))

Used oil that is recycled and is also a hazardous waste solely because it exhibits a hazardous
waste characteristic and is managed under 40 CFR Part 279. (40 CFR 261.5(c)(4))

Spent lead-acid batteries managed under the requirements of 40 CFR Part 266, Subpart G, which
includes persons who reclaim spent lead-acid batteries that are recyclable materials; persons who
generate, transport, or collect spent batteries; persons who regenerate spent batteries; or persons
who store them (other than spent batteries that are to be regenerated). (40 CFR 261.5(c)(5)) Any
hazardous wastes generated during battery reclamation, however, must be reported on
Form GM.

Universal wastes managed under 40 CFR 261.9 and 40 CFR Part 273. (40 CFR 261.5(c)(6))

Section 2: On-site Generation and Management of Hazardous Waste During 2007
All boxes in this section are mandatory. For each on-site RCRA-regulated management system, you must
report the Management Method and quantity treated, disposed, or recycled on site during 2007.
Was any of this waste managed on site?
Mark “Yes” or “No” to indicate if the site did any of the following to the waste reported in Box A:
treat on site; dispose on site; recycle on site. If you marked “Yes,” complete the blocks for On-site
Process Systems below.
Skip to Section 3 if you marked “No.”
Continue to On-site Process System 1 if you marked “Yes.”

FORM GM
(Continued)

On-site Process Systems 1 and 2:
On-site Management Method
Classify the process system (see definition on page 40) with a Management Method code that best
identifies the final substantive purpose/operation it performs. Space is provided to report up to two
different Management Methods. If you did not use a second on-site process system to manage the
waste, leave blank in the space for reporting the Management Method code under On-site Process
System 2.

LIST

Management Method codes, page 55.

The space provided for the second on-site process system should be used only in the special case of
management of the same waste on site by more than one process system during 2007. Use the second
on-site process system only when:

A waste is managed in one process system for part of a year and in another process system for
the rest of the year; or

A waste is managed by two different process systems at the same time (i.e., management of the
waste is split between parallel process systems).

If more than two on-site process systems meet one of the above conditions, you need not complete
the entire form again. Simply attach a second copy of Form GM, leaving blank all entries except
Section 2 for on-site process systems. Note in the Comments section of each page: “Sec. 2, on-site
process system type continued on supplemental page.” (Refer to page 5 for instructions on page
numbering of supplemental pages.)
The space provided for the second on-site process system should not be used to report the following:

The on-site management of the treatment residual generated from management of the waste by
the first Management Method (on-site management of treatment residuals should be reported on a
separate Form GM); or

To report treatment in a series of process units (see definition on page 40). Report only process
systems, not process units.

FORM GM
(Continued)
Quantity treated, disposed, or recycled on site in 2007
Enter the quantity of hazardous waste described in Section 1 that was treated, disposed, or recycled
by the reported on-site process management method during 2007. Enter the quantity in the same
unit of measure reported in Section 1, Box H.
Example: A firm generated 100 tons of F002 solvent waste in 2007. Eighty (80) tons were recycled
for reuse in a batch distillation process system, generating 5 tons of still bottoms. The remaining 20
tons were burned in an industrial boiler.
Under On-site Process System 1, the site enters the Management Method code for distillation (H020)
and a quantity of 80 tons. Under On-site Process System 2, the site enters the Management Method
code for energy recovery of liquids (H050) and a quantity of 20 tons. The 5 tons of still bottoms
should be reported on a separate Form GM.
Section 3: Off-site Shipment of Hazardous Waste
This section requests information on the off-site shipment of hazardous waste. Boxes B and D are mandatory
for such off-site shipment. Boxes A and C request non-mandatory information. Do report shipments of
previously generated hazardous wastes stored until 2007. Do report waste shipped via transfer facility. Do
not report shipments of decharacterized wastes.
Space is provided to report shipments of the waste to three different off-site facilities. If the waste you
reported in Section 1 was shipped to more than three off-site facilities during 2007, you need not complete the
entire form again. Simply attach a second copy of Form GM, leaving blank all entries except Section 3,
Boxes B, C, and D. Note in the Comments section of each page: “Sec. 3, Box B continued on supplemental
page.” (Refer to page 5 for instructions on page numbering of supplemental pages.)
Box A: Was any of this waste shipped off site in 2007 for treatment, disposal, or recycling?
Mark “Yes” or “No” to indicate if any of the waste described in Section 1 was shipped off site for
treatment, disposal, or recycling during 2007. While responding to Box A is not mandatory,
providing information for waste shipped off site is required.
This Form GM is complete if you marked “No” in Box A.
Continue to Box B if you marked “Yes” in Box A.
Box B: EPA ID No. of facility to which waste was shipped
Enter the 12-digit EPA Identification Number of the facility to which the waste was shipped. DO
NOT create a GM Form for hazardous waste shipped directly to a foreign country from this site. You
must complete an Annual Report as required under 40 CFR 262.56, no later than March 1 of each
year.

FORM GM

Review the Management Method codes beginning on page 55. Enter the Management Method code
that best describes the way in which the waste was managed at the initial receiving facility reported in
Box B.

LIST

Management Method codes, page 55.

Box D: Total quantity shipped in 2007
Enter the total quantity of the waste shipped to the off-site facility during 2007. Report the quantity
in the same unit of measure entered in Section 1, Box G. Shipment quantities should equal the total
quantity recorded on Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifests for this site during 2007, unless there were
rejections or other complications. The quantity shipped may not necessarily equal the quantity
generated (e.g., because some waste is on site).

INSTRUCTIONS FOR FILLING OUT FORM WR WASTE RECEIVED FROM OFF SITE
WHO MUST SUBMIT THIS FORM
A site required to file the 2007 Hazardous Waste Report must submit this form if, during 2007, it received
RCRA hazardous waste from off site.
PURPOSE OF THIS FORM
Form WR identifies hazardous wastes that were received from other hazardous waste sites and the method(s)
used to manage them. Form WR is divided into three identical parts (i.e., waste blocks), labeled Waste 1,
Waste 2, and Waste 3, that collect information on the quantities and characteristics of each hazardous waste
received from an off-site source during 2007 and managed on site.
HOW TO FILL OUT THIS FORM
You may report waste received from more than one off-site handler on the same page of the form. A separate
waste block must be filled out for each hazardous waste received from each off-site handler. Hazardous waste
from the same off-site handler may be aggregated as long as a single Form code describes the physical form
or chemical composition, and all of the waste is managed in a single process system (i.e., same Management
Method code).
If your site received more than three RCRA hazardous wastes from off-site handlers during 2007, photocopy
and fill out additional copies of this form. Prior to photocopying, place the pre-printed site identification label
in the top left-hand corner of the form or, if you did not receive pre-printed labels, enter the site name and
EPA Identification Number in the space provided.
Use the Comments section at the end of the form to clarify any entry (e.g., “Other” responses) or to continue
any entry. When entering information in the Comments section, cross-reference the waste block and box
letter to which the comment refers.

In the example, note that the general type (spent solvent), source (degreaser in tool production), type
of hazard (ignitability), and generic chemical names (mineral spirits and kerosene) have all been
cited.
Box B: EPA hazardous waste code
Enter the EPA hazardous waste code(s) that applies to the waste reported in Box A. If you need
room for additional codes, list the codes in the Comments section and cross-reference the applicable
waste block number (e.g., Waste 1) and Box B. If fewer than four EPA hazardous waste codes are
applicable, leave blank in the remaining spaces. If the waste is regulated only by your State, leave
blank in Box B and report the State hazardous waste codes in Box C.

LIST

EPA Hazardous Waste Codes, page 49.

Box C: State hazardous waste code
Enter the State hazardous waste code(s) that applies to the waste reported in Box A, if:

Your State regulates hazardous wastes not regulated as RCRA hazardous wastes, and
requires these wastes to be reported in the 2007 Hazardous Waste Report; or

Your State uses a hazardous waste code system other than the EPA hazardous waste codes
that applies to the waste described in Box A.

Otherwise, leave Box C blank. If you need space for additional State hazardous waste codes, list the
codes in the Comments section and cross-reference the applicable waste block number (e.g., Waste 1)
and Box C.

FORM WR
(Continued)
Box D: Off-site handler EPA ID number
Enter the 12-digit EPA Identification Number of the off-site handler from which the waste was
received. If the site does not have an EPA Identification Number, it may be a CESQG or foreign
country. Refer to the Special Instructions in this booklet for instructions on how to complete Box D
for these off-site handlers.
If the waste reported under Waste 2 is received from the same off-site handler as the waste reported
under Waste 1, mark the box to indicate that the EPA ID number is the same as the one reported in
Waste 1; if Waste 3 is received from the same off-site handler as Waste 2, mark the box to indicate
that the EPA ID number is the same as the one reported under Waste 2.

NOTE

Refer to the Special Instructions for reporting wastes received from CESQGs on
page 46 and for reporting wastes received from foreign countries on page 47.

Box E: Quantity received in 2007

DEFINITIONS
(Continued)
Process System

For purposes of the Hazardous Waste Report, a process system refers to
one or more units used together to treat, recover, or dispose of a
hazardous waste. The process system begins at the unit where the
hazardous waste first enters and consists of all other treatment, recovery,
or disposal units downstream from the point of entry. Note that storage
is not considered a process system, except for storage at a bulking and
re-shipping facility (H141).
Classify each process system with a Management Method code that best
identifies the final substantive purpose/operation it performs. For
example, a process system to remove dissolved metals from wastewater
prior to shipping the sludge off site typically includes equalization, pH
adjustment, chemical precipitation, flocculation, clarification/settling,
and dewatering of the sludge removed from the bottom of the clarifier.
The chemical precipitation process best identifies the primary purpose of
this treatment system - to remove metals from the wastewater. If this
wastewater treatment system is RCRA-regulated, it would be reported as
H077 (chemical precipitation). If the sludge will be disposed at the
reporting site in a landfill, the code will be H132 (landfill) and will need
to be reported on a separate GM Form because it is a residual from a
treatment process. However, this process is exempt if the treated water
flows to a POTW or a NPDES outfall with no RCRA-regulated storage
or treatment units in the system, and should not be reported. A listing of
Management Method codes begins on page 55.

Process Unit

For purposes of the Hazardous Waste Report, a process unit refers to a
single type of treatment (e.g., tank, distillation column, surface
impoundment) in which hazardous waste is treated, disposed, or
recycled.

Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act (RCRA)

The Solid Waste Disposal Act as amended by the Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act (RCRA) (40 CFR 270.2). It is the Federal statute that
regulates the generation, treatment, storage, disposal, recycling, and/or
transportation of solid and hazardous waste.

RCRA Interim (Permit)
Status

Refer to “Interim (Permit) Status” definition on page 38.

RCRA Permit

A complete RCRA permit is comprised of an operating permit for
hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal, and a corrective action
permit addressing releases from solid waste management unit (SWMUs).
To apply for a permit, a site must file a two-part application (Part A and
Part B). A facility is not considered to have a complete RCRA permit
until both parts have been issued.

DEFINITIONS
(Continued)
RCRA Subtitle C Site
(RCRA Site or Site)

The physical plant or location at which one or more of the following
regulated waste activities occurs: the generation, transportation,
treatment, storage, or disposal of hazardous wastes; recycling of
hazardous wastes; United States importer of hazardous waste; mixed
waste (hazardous and radioactive) generator; exempt boiler and/or
industrial furnace burning or processing hazardous waste; large quantity
handler of or destination facility for universal wastes; disposing
hazardous waste with an underground injection permit; the transportation
(and temporary storage during transportation), processing/re-refining,
burning, or marketing of used oil; or undergoing corrective action.
A site may consist of several treatment, storage, or disposal operational
units. For entities that only transport regulated wastes, the term site refers
to the headquarters of that entity’s operations.

Recycling

Use, reuse, or reclamation of a material (40 CFR 261.1(c)(7)).
“Reclamation” is the processing or regeneration of a material to recover a
usable product (e.g., recovery of lead values from spent batteries,
regeneration of spent solvents) (40 CFR 261.1(c)(4)). A material is
“used or reused” if it is either: (1) employed as an ingredient (including
use as an intermediate) in an industrial process to make a product (e.g.,
distillation bottoms from one process used as feedstock in another
process) (40 CFR 261.1(c)(5)). However, a material will not satisfy this
condition if distinct components of the material are recovered as separate
end products (as when metals are recovered from metal-containing
secondary materials); or (2) employed in a particular function or
application as an effective substitute for a commercial product (e.g.,
spent pickle liquor used as phosphorous precipitant and sludge
conditioner in wastewater treatment).

Residual

A hazardous waste derived from the treatment, disposal, or recycling of a
previously existing hazardous waste (e.g., the sludge remaining after
initial wastewater treatment).

Sludge

Any solid, semi-solid, or liquid waste generated from a municipal,
commercial, or industrial wastewater treatment plant, water supply
treatment plant, or air pollution control facility exclusive of the treated
effluent from a wastewater treatment plant (40 CFR 260.10).

DEFINITIONS
(Continued)
Small Quantity Generator
(SQG) of Hazardous Waste

A generator that meets all the following criteria:
1. Generates, in a calendar month, more than 100 kg (220 lbs.) but
less than 1,000 kg (2,200 lbs.) of RCRA hazardous waste, during
one or more months in a year; and
2. Generates, in a calendar month, or accumulates at any time, no
more than 1 kg (2.2 lbs.) of acute hazardous waste and no more
than 100 kg (220 lbs.) of material from the cleanup of a spill of
acute hazardous waste.
OR, your site is a Small Quantity Generator if the site:
1. Meets all other criteria for a Conditionally Exempt Small
Quantity Generator, but
2. Accumulates, at any time, more than 1,000 kg (2,200 lbs.) of
hazardous waste.

Small Quantity On-Site
Burner Exemption

The persons who burn small quantities of hazardous waste in an on-site
boiler or industrial furnace, in accordance with 40 CFR 266.108, are
conditionally exempt from regulation for that activity.

Smelting, Melting, and
Refining Furnace
Exemption

Under 40 CFR 266.100(c), operators or owners of smelting, melting, and
refining furnaces that process hazardous wastes solely for metals
recovery are conditionally exempt from regulation, except for 40 CFR
266.101 and 266.112, provided they comply with limited requirements
set forth in Section 266.100(c). Similarly, 40 CFR 266.100(f) provides
that operators or owners of smelting, melting and refining furnaces that
process hazardous wastes for the recovery of precious metals are
conditionally exempt from regulation, except for 40 CFR 266.112,
provided they comply with limited requirements specified in Section
266.100(f).

Solid Waste

Any garbage, refuse, or sludge, or other materials not excluded under 40
CFR 261.4(a). Exclusions include, for example, domestic sewage and
any mixture of other wastes that pass through a sewer system to a
publicly owned treatment works (POTWs); industrial wastewater
discharges that are point source discharges subject to regulation under
the Clean Water Act; irrigation return flows; nuclear materials defined by
the Atomic Energy Act; and in situ mining materials (see also page 33).
Wastewaters being collected, stored, or treated before discharge and
sludges generated by wastewater treatment are not excluded. The EPA
defines hazardous waste as a subset of solid waste.

Source Material

As defined by the Atomic Energy Act of 1954: (1) Uranium, thorium, or
any other material determined by the Commission pursuant to the
provisions of Section 2091 of this title to be source material; or (2) ores
containing one or more of the foregoing materials in such concentration
as the Commission may by regulation determine from time to time.

DEFINITIONS
(Continued)
Special Nuclear Material

As defined by the Atomic Energy Act of 1954: (1) plutonium, uranium
enriched in the isotope 233 or in the isotope 235, and any other material
which the Commission, pursuant to the provisions of Section 2071 of
this title, determines to be special nuclear material, but does not include
source material; or (2) any material artificially enriched by any of the
foregoing, but does not include source material.

Superfund

The program operated under the legislative authority of the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability
Act (CERCLA) and the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization
Act (SARA) that funds and carries out the solid waste emergency
response and long-term remedial activities of the EPA.

Surface Impoundment

A natural topographic depression, man-made excavation, or diked area
formed primarily from earthen materials (though it may be lined with
man-made materials) that is designed to accumulate liquid wastes or
wastes containing free liquids, and that is not an injection well (40 CFR
260.10).

Transfer Facility

Any transportation-related facility including loading docks, parking
areas, storage areas, and other similar areas where shipments of
hazardous waste are held during the normal course of transportation (40
CFR 260.10).

Underground Injection
Control

The subsurface emplacement of fluids through a bored, drilled or driven
well; or through a dug well, where the depth of the dug well is greater
than the largest surface dimension. Underground injection wells are
regulated under both the Safe Drinking Water Act and the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (see 40 CFR Part 148).

Unit

Refer to “Process Unit" definition on page 40.

United States Importer

Any person who imports hazardous waste from a foreign country into the
United States. This does not include hazardous waste shipped from a
foreign Department of Defense site, Maquiladora, United States territory
or protectorate.

Universal Waste

Any of the following hazardous wastes that are managed under the
universal waste requirements of 40 CFR Part 273: batteries, pesticides,
thermostats, and lamps.

Used Oil

Any oil that has been refined from crude oil, or any synthetic oil, that has
been used, and as a result of such use, is contaminated by physical or
chemical impurities.

DEFINITIONS
(Continued)
Used Oil Fuel Marketer

Any person who conducts either of the following activities:
1. Directs a shipment of off-specification used oil from their site to
an off-specification used oil burner; or
2. First claims that used oil that is to be burned for energy recovery
meets the used oil fuel specifications set forth in 40 CFR 279.11.

Used Oil Management
Activities

For the purposes of the Site Identification Form, includes used oil
transportation; used oil processing and re-refining; burning offspecification used oil fuel; and used oil fuel marketing.

Used Oil Processing

Chemical or physical operations designed to produce from used oil, or to
make used oil more amenable for production of, fuel oils, lubricants, or
other used oil-derived products. Processing includes, but is not limited
to: blending used oil with virgin petroleum products, blending used oils
to meet the fuel specification, filtration, simple distillation, chemical or
physical separation, and re-refining.

Used Oil Processor

A site that processes on- or off-specification used oil.

Used Oil Re-Refiner

A site that produces lubricating oils and greases, industrial fuel, asphalt
extender, gasoline, and other products from on- or off-specification used
oil.

Used Oil Transfer Facility

Any transportation-related facility, including loading docks, parking
areas, storage areas, and other areas where shipments of used oil are held
for more than 24 hours during the normal course of transportation and
not longer than 35 days. Transfer facilities that store used oil for more
than 35 days are subject to regulation under 40 CFR Part 279, Subpart F.

Used Oil Transporter

Any person who transports used oil, any person who collects used oil
from more than one generator and transports the collected oil, and
operators and owners of used oil transfer facilities. Used oil transporters
may consolidate or aggregate loads of used oil for purposes of
transportation but, with the following exception, may not process used
oil. Used oil transporters may conduct incidental processing operations
that occur in the normal course of used oil transportation (e.g., settling
and water separation), but that are not designed to produce (or make
more amenable for production of) used oil-derived products or used oil
fuel.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
These instructions explain how to complete the 2007 Hazardous Waste Report for wastes and sites with
unique regulatory or reporting requirements.
Asbestos, PCBs, waste oils

In most cases, do not report asbestos, PCBs, and waste oils. However,
you must report them if any of the following conditions exist:
(1)

If your State specifically requires that these wastes be reported;

(2)

If a listed RCRA hazardous waste (i.e., EPA hazardous waste
code that begins with “F,” “K,” “P,” or “U”) is mixed with
asbestos, PCBs, or waste oil, in which case the entire mixture is a
hazardous waste; or

(3)

If the waste possesses one or more of the characteristics that
result in assigning EPA hazardous waste code beginning with
“D.” (This does not apply to used oil that is recycled as
explained below.)

Do not report “used oil that is recycled and is also a hazardous waste
solely because it exhibits a hazardous characteristic (criterion 3 above).
Used oil that is recycled includes any used oil which is reused, following
its original use, for any purpose (including the purpose for which the oil
was originally used). Such term includes, but is not limited to, oil which
is re-refined, reclaimed, burned for energy recovery, or reprocessed.”
(40 CFR 261.6(a)(4))
Groundwater contaminated
by leachate

Lab packs

Groundwater contaminated by RCRA hazardous waste leachate is not
considered a solid waste and is, therefore, not classified as a hazardous
waste. However, because hazardous waste is “contained in” the
groundwater, it must be treated “as if” it were a RCRA hazardous waste.
When reporting groundwater contaminated by leachate in the 2007
Hazardous Waste Report, observe the following conventions:
(1)

Do not report generation quantities for contaminated
groundwater. Enter “NA” in Form GM, Section 1, Box F
(quantity). Explain in the Comments section that it is
groundwater, not a hazardous waste, that was generated on site.

(2)

Do report quantities managed on site (Form GM, Section 2, Onsite Process Systems 1 and 2); quantities shipped off site for
management (Form GM, Section 3); and quantities received
from off site and managed on site (Form WR, Box E).

The following rules apply to the reporting of lab pack wastes in the 2007
Hazardous Waste Report:
(1)

You may aggregate lab pack wastes if they have the same Form
code. However, you must report them as separate wastes under
the following conditions:
If they contain RCRA acute hazardous wastes (i.e., EPA
hazardous waste codes F020, F021, F022, F023, F026, F027,
and all “P” waste codes). Report separately from lab packs
45

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
(Continued)
containing other RCRA hazardous wastes (all other EPA
hazardous waste codes).

If they are managed differently from each other. For
example, report lab packs shipped to landfills separately from
those incinerated.

(2)

Enter a Form code (see page 53) indicating lab packs (i.e., W001
or W004) on Form GM, in Section 1, Box E or on Form WR in
Box G. These Form codes are to be used with any lab pack,
whether the wastes are gaseous, liquid, solid, or sludge.

(3)

It is not necessary to report every EPA hazardous waste code
included in a batch of lab packs. Record one, or a few
predominant, EPA hazardous waste codes in Section 1, Box B of
Form GM, or Box B of Form WR. If there are many EPA
hazardous waste codes associated with the batch of lab packs,
enter “LABP” in the first four-character field in Section 1, Box B
of Form GM, or Box B of Form WR; then enter “NA” in the
remaining spaces for the EPA hazardous waste codes.

(4)

When reporting quantities for lab packs:
Include the weight of the containers if they are disposed (e.g.,
landfilled) or treated (e.g., incinerated) with the waste.
Exclude the weight of the containers if the waste is removed
from the containers before treatment or disposal.

RCRA-radioactive mixed
wastes

By themselves, source material, special nuclear material, or by-product
materials (See Definitions section beginning on page 35), as defined by
the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 and amended by 42 U.S.C. 2011 et. seq.,
are not classified as hazardous wastes under RCRA. However, if these
materials are mixed with a RCRA hazardous waste, the material is
controlled under RCRA regulation, as well as under the Atomic Energy
Act (DOE, NRC, and EPA) regulations, and is to be reported in the 2007
Hazardous Waste Report.

Wastes received from
Conditionally Exempt
Small Quantity Generators
(CESQGs)

Waste management facilities sometimes receive hazardous wastes from
large numbers of Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generators
(CESQGs) or other sites that do not have RCRA EPA Identification
Numbers. To minimize the response burden for filling out the Form
WR for these wastes, you may aggregate the wastes across generating
sites, in accordance with these guidelines:
(1) All the wastes must have the same EPA hazardous waste code
(Box B), State hazardous waste code (Box C), Form code (Box
G), and Management Method code (Box H).

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
(Continued)
(2)

Wastes received from different States must be reported
separately. For the off-site handler EPA ID number (Box D), the
entry should include the two-letter postal code of the originating
State, followed by the letters “CESQG.”

For example, wastes received from several CESQGs in the State of
Alaska (AK) that share a common EPA hazardous waste code, State
hazardous waste code, Form code, RCRA radioactive mixed code, and
Management Method code could be aggregated in a single waste block
of Form WR (e.g., Waste 1). In Box D, the off-site handler EPA ID
number is entered as “AKCESQG.” Note: This method of completing
Box D can also be used for CESQG waste that is not aggregated.
Wastes received from
foreign countries

Reporting on Form GM - If your site was the generator of record and
was the U.S. Importer for hazardous waste received from a foreign
country (other than a foreign Department of Defense site, Maquiladora,
U.S. territory or protectorate), complete a Form GM. Enter the
appropriate code in Section 1, Box D - Source code from the list of codes
G63 through G75 - Hazardous waste received from [name of foreign
country]. Include the Import Notification and other foreign generator
information in Comments. Also, mark "Yes" on the Site ID Form, Item
10.A.1, Box d - United States Importer of Hazardous Waste. Report on
Form OI the name and address of all foreign generators if this form is
required by your State.
Reporting on Form WR - If your site received hazardous waste directly
from a generator in a foreign country (other than a foreign Department of
Defense site, Maquiladora, U.S. territory or protectorate), complete a
Form WR for the waste treated, recovered, or disposed at your site. This
waste was not shipped to your site by a U.S. Importer. Report the code
“FC” followed by the name of the foreign country in Box D - Off Site
Handler EPA ID number. Include the Import Notification and other
foreign generator information in Comments. Report on Form OI the
name and address of all foreign generators if this form is required by
your State.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR FILLING OUT
FORM OI - OFF-SITE IDENTIFICATION

WHO MUST SUBMIT THIS FORM
Sites required to file the 2007 Hazardous Waste Report must submit Form OI if:
■ Form OI is required by your State; AND
■ The site received hazardous waste from off site or sent hazardous waste off site during 2007.

PURPOSE OF THIS FORM
Form OI documents the names and addresses of off-site installations and transporters.

HOW TO FILL OUT THIS FORM
Form OI is divided into five identical parts. You must fill out one part for each off-site installation to which you shipped
hazardous waste, each off-site installation from which you received hazardous waste, and each transporter you used to ship
hazardous waste during 2007. If these off-site installations and transporters total more than four, you must photocopy and
complete additional copies of the form. Prior to photocopying, place the pre-printed site identification label in the top left-hand
corner of the form or, if you did not receive pre-printed labels, enter the site name and EPA Identification Number in this space.
Use the Comments section at the end of the form to clarify any entry (e.g., “Other” responses) or to continue any entry. When
entering information in the Comments section, cross-reference the site number and box letter to which the comment refers.

ITEM-BY-ITEM INSTRUCTIONS
Complete Boxes A through D for each off-site installation to which you shipped hazardous waste and each off-site installation
from which you received hazardous waste during 2007. Complete Boxes A through C for each transporter you used during the
year (address in Box D is not required for transporters).
Box A: EPA ID No. of off-site installation or transporter
Enter the 12-digit EPA ID number of the off-site installation to which you shipped hazardous waste or from
which you received hazardous waste. Or, enter the EPA ID number of the transporter who shipped hazardous
waste to or from your site. Each EPA ID Number should appear only once. If the off-site installation or
transporter did not have an EPA ID number during 2007, leave blank if this item is not applicable or “don’t know”
in Box A and note the reason in the Comments section.
Box B: Name of off-site installation or transporter
Enter the name of the off-site installation or transporter reported in Box A.
Box C: Handler type
Mark all boxes that apply to the handler type (i.e., generator, transporter, or treatment, storage, or disposal
(TSD) facility) of the off-site installation or transporter reported in Box A.
Box D: Address of off-site installation
Enter the address of the off-site installation reported in Box A. If the EPA ID number reported in Box A refers
