Abstract: 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.
