RCRA Hazardous Waste Part A Permit Application
Instructions and Form
The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Section 3005 requires the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to establish permitting requirements applicable to hazardous waste treatment, storage, or disposal facilities (TSDFs). The owner and operator of a TSDF must obtain a permit as required under 40 CFR Part 270. Respondents must submit the information required in the RCRA Hazardous Waste Part A Permit Application [EPA Form 8700-23] (Part A Permit Application) for a first permit application or for a revised permit application. Owners and operators of four types of TSDFs are subject to the requirements: new facilities not yet constructed; newly regulated existing facilities subject to RCRA permitting requirements for the first time; permitted facilities with newly regulated units; and interim status facilities. The EPA needs information contained in the application to identify the person(s) legally responsible for hazardous waste activity, to determine which facilities require permits under more than one program, to assess potential for the facility to pollute nearby ground and surface waters, to identify the timeframe available for the EPA to process permit applications, and to determine the specific wastes a facility is legally allowed to handle for different purposes. The EPA must ensure that hazardous wastes are managed in a way that protects human health and the environment as required by RCRA. This is mandatory reporting by the respondents.
The EPA enters Part A Permit Application information submitted by respondents into RCRAInfo, the EPA national database, and issues permits. The EPA uses this information to identify the universe of regulated waste TSDFs and their specific regulated hazardous waste activities. The EPA also uses the information for tracking and planning and for a variety of enforcement and inspection purposes. Finally, the EPA uses this information to ensure that: hazardous wastes are managed properly; TSDFs are operated and maintained as required; statutory provisions are upheld; and that regulations are adhered to by facility owners and operators.
Section 3007(b) of RCRA and 40 CFR Part 2, Subpart B, which defines the EPA’s general policy on public disclosure of information, both contain provisions for confidentiality. However, the Agency does not anticipate that businesses will assert a claim of confidentiality covering all or part of the Part A Permit Application. If such a claim were asserted, the EPA must and will treat the information in accordance with the regulations cited above. The EPA also will assure that the information collection complies with the Privacy Act of 1974 and OMB Circular 108.
Estimated Burden: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for the Part A Permit Application is estimated to average 25 hours per response for an initial application and 13 hours per response for a revised application.
To comment on the EPA’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, the EPA has established a public docket for the Information Collection Request (ICR) under Docket ID Number EPA-HQ-RCRA-2014-0296, which is available for online viewing at www.regulations.gov, or in person viewing at the RCRA Docket in the EPA Docket Center (EPA/DC), EPA West, Room B102, 1301 Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, D.C. 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 at www.regulations.gov.

The RCRA Hazardous Waste Part A Permit Application
Introduction
The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) requires anyone who owns or operates a facility where hazardous waste is treated, stored, or disposed to have a RCRA hazardous waste permit issued by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This booklet is designed to help you determine if you are subject to RCRA hazardous waste permitting requirements. The instructions contained in this booklet will assist you in starting the permitting process by completing and submitting a RCRA Hazardous Waste Part A Permit Application [EPA Form 8700-23] (Part A Permit Application) or in modifying your hazardous waste permit by submitting a revised application.
There are two parts to a RCRA Hazardous Waste Permit Application – Part A and Part B. Part A of the RCRA Hazardous Waste Permit Application consists of EPA Form 8700-23 (includes both the RCRA Subtitle C Site Identification Form and the Hazardous Waste Permit Information Form), along with maps, drawings, and photographs, as required by 40 CFR 270.13. Part B of the RCRA hazardous waste permit application contains detailed, site-specific information. There is no form for the Part B Permit Application; rather, the Part B Permit Application must be submitted in narrative form and contain the information described in applicable sections of 40 CFR 270.14 through 270.27.
NOTE
|
Although this booklet contains information and instructions for completing a Part A Permit Application, it should not be considered a substitute for the regulations in Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (40 CFR). Rather, this booklet serves as a supplement to the regulations and provides additional information not contained in 40 CFR. As an owner or operator of a hazardous waste treatment, storage, or disposal facility, you are responsible for learning and complying with all the requirements that apply to you and the operations at your facility.
In addition, remember that this booklet and the regulations in 40 CFR address only the Federal hazardous waste program. Many States may have hazardous waste permitting requirements that differ from the Federal requirements; those States may use EPA Form 8700-23 for the Part A Permit Application submission or they may use a similar State form that requires information not requested in the EPA form. Again, it is your responsibility to make sure that you have completed and submitted all forms required under the Federal or your State program. |

What’s New
Below are a list of changes to the RCRA Hazardous Waste Part A Permit Application Instructions and Forms.
claRIFIED THE DEFINITION OF large QUANTITY GENERATOR (LQG)
Although current RCRA regulations do not specifically define the term “large quantity generator” (LQG), they do define the terms “conditionally exempt small quantity generator” (CESQG) and “small quantity generator “(SQG). Thus, a LQG is a generator that is not a CESQG or SQG. For purposes of clarity, the definition of LQG has been revised to describe all those situations where a generator would be a LQG.
CLARIFIED THE DEFINITION OF SMALL QUANTITY GENERATOR (SQG)
A SQG is defined at 40 CFR 260.10 as a site that generates less than 1,000 kilograms (kg; 2,200 pounds [lbs]) of hazardous waste in a calendar month. However, there are other situations where a generator could generate small amounts of acute hazardous waste listed in sections 261.31 or 261.33(e); and any residues or contaminated soil, waste, or other debris resulting from the cleanup of a spill, into or on any land or water, of any acute hazardous wastes listed in sections 261.31 or 261.33(e) and still maintain its regulatory status as a SQG. Therefore, for purposes of clarity, the definition of SQG has been revised to describe all those situations where a generator would continue to be a SQG. The EPA plans to make the appropriate conforming change to the outdated definition of SQG at 40 CFR 260.10 in the future.
Clarified the definition of conditionally exempt small quantity generator (CESQG)
A CESQG is defined at 40 CFR 261.5(a) as a site that generates less than or equal to 100 kg (220 lbs) of hazardous waste in a calendar month. However, as found in 40 CFR 261.5(e), a generator also may generate small amounts of acute hazardous waste listed in sections 261.31 or 261.33(e); and any residues or contaminated soil, waste, or other debris resulting from the cleanup of a spill, into or on any land or water, of any acute hazardous wastes listed in sections 261.31, or 261.33(e) and still maintain its regulatory status as a CESQG. Therefore, for purposes of clarity, the definition of CESQG has been revised to describe all those situations where a generator would continue to be a CESQG.

You must submit a Part A Permit Application completing all forms included in this booklet. If you do not file a Notification of RCRA Subtitle C Activity and complete the Part A Permit Application by the deadlines specified in the “WHEN SHOULD I FILE MY PERMIT APPLICATION?” section of these instructions, you will be required by law to halt your operations until a RCRA hazardous waste permit is issued.
Facility owners or operators with interim status are treated as having been issued a permit until the EPA reviews the Part B Permit Application and issues a RCRA hazardous waste permit. You may submit your Part B Permit Application voluntarily; however, you are not required to submit it until it is requested by the EPA. You will then have up to six months to submit the Part B Permit Application.
New Facilities
New hazardous waste management facilities are those hazardous waste TSDFs which were not in operation or for which construction had not commenced on or before November 19, 1980. Owners or operators of new hazardous waste management facilities must submit both Parts A and B of the RCRA Hazardous Waste Permit Application at least 180 days before physical construction of the facility is expected to commence. In addition, these owners or operators are not allowed to begin physical construction of the new facility or to treat, store, or dispose of hazardous wastes until receiving a RCRA hazardous waste permit. As such, new facilities do not receive interim status. In addition, new facilities are those facilities that are newly subject to the requirement to obtain a RCRA hazardous waste permit (e.g., through the EPA’s promulgation of a new hazardous waste listing). An application for a permit may be submitted any time after promulgation of those standards in 40 CFR subjecting the facility to hazardous waste permitting requirements.
Most State governments are authorized by the EPA to administer hazardous waste management programs in lieu of the Federal RCRA program. You should contact your State hazardous waste management agency to determine any additional State requirements. You will need to comply with the specific permit application requirements of that State.
The following instructions provide specific information for completing and submitting a Part A Permit Application using the forms included in this booklet. The instructions also provide general information for completing a Part B Permit Application. If, after reading the instructions, you have any questions regarding the RCRA hazardous waste permit application process, contact your State Representative who can answer your questions and help you understand the Federal and State requirements that apply to you. A list of State contacts is available at: http://www.epa.gov/osw/inforesources/data/form8700/contact.pdf.
First Part A Submission
(Go to Table
of Contents)
Revised Part A Submission
There are several conditions under which a facility that has previously submitted a Part A Permit Application must revise that first submission to reflect changes that have occurred at the facility. Both facilities operating under interim status and facilities operating under a RCRA hazardous waste permit may find it necessary to revise their Part A Permit Application. You should mark the box in Item 1 of the Site ID Form to indicate as a component of a revised RCRA Hazardous Waste Part A Permit Application.
If the owner or operator of this facility has changed since the facility last submitted the Part A Permit Application, be sure to submit a Revised Part A Permit Application. The conditions requiring submission of a Revised Part A Permit Application are summarized in the “HOW TO FILE A RCRA HAZARDOUS WASTE PERMIT APPLICATION” section of this booklet. There is also item-by-item instructions for completing both the Site ID Form and the Hazardous Waste Permit Information Form contained in this booklet.

Determining if You Must File
Who Must File a RCRA Hazardous Waste Permit Application?
The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA), as amended, requires each person owning or operating a facility for the treatment, storage, or disposal of regulated hazardous waste to have a RCRA hazardous waste permit. This includes individuals, trusts, firms, joint stock companies, Federal agencies, corporations (including government corporations), partnerships, associations, States, municipalities, commissions, interstate bodies, other political subdivisions of a State, or Indian tribes (or an authorized Indian tribe organization). If you treat, store, or dispose of regulated hazardous waste without obtaining a permit, you may be subject to a civil or criminal penalty.
Both new and existing facilities that treat, store, or dispose of regulated hazardous waste are required to submit a RCRA Hazardous Waste Part A Permit Application [EPA Form 8700-23] (Part A Permit Application) as described in 40 CFR Part 270. Four types of facilities are required to submit the Part A Permit Application: new facilities not yet constructed; newly regulated existing facilities subject to RCRA permitting requirements for the first time; permitted facilities with newly regulated units; and interim status facilities.
In an instance where the State may have a newly regulated unit, a Part A Permit Application is required. Adding new units for treating, storing, and disposing of waste creates a change to the facility (be it an existing facility or interim status facility) which would require a Revised Part A Permit Application, as does a major permit modification.
Contact your State if you have questions about the applicability of the Part A Permit Application form to your facility. A list of Part A Permit Application contacts can be found at: http://www.epa.gov/osw/inforesources/data/form8700/contact.pdf.
How Do I Know if I Handle a Regulated Hazardous Waste?
Off-site Facilities
Owners or operators of off-site facilities that treat, store, or dispose of solid wastes, as defined by 40 CFR 261.2, are encouraged to obtain information on the solid wastes they receive from generators. If the generators will not supply this information, you are still responsible for determining if the solid wastes you handle are also hazardous wastes that are regulated by RCRA. To do so, you should follow the procedures for on-site facilities that are described below.
On-site Facilities
(Go to Table
of Contents)
First, you need to determine if the solid waste handled is excluded from regulation under RCRA. The list of exclusions can be found in the regulation entitled “Identification and Listing of Hazardous Waste,” 40 CFR 261.4. If the solid wastes handled are excluded, a RCRA hazardous waste permit is not needed to treat, store, or dispose of these solid wastes. If the solid waste handled is not excluded by 40 CFR 261.4, you need to determine if the solid waste handled is a hazardous waste that is regulated under RCRA. As described below, the EPA regulates a solid waste as a hazardous waste by specifically listing it as a hazardous waste or by assigning it a generic hazardous waste code because it possesses any of the four hazardous waste characteristics.
If the solid waste handled is not excluded by 40 CFR 261.4, you need to determine if it is a hazardous waste that is listed in 40 CFR Part 261, Subpart D, “Lists of Hazardous Wastes.” If you own or operate a facility where listed hazardous waste is treated, stored, or disposed, you are subject to regulation and must file a RCRA Hazardous Waste Permit Application, unless the hazardous waste has been exempted as described below.
If the solid waste handled is not listed in 40 CFR Part 261, Subpart D, the solid waste may still be a hazardous waste if it possesses certain characteristics or contains certain contaminants. These characteristics and contaminants are described in 40 CFR Part 261, Subpart C, “Characteristics of Hazardous Waste.” A determination that a solid waste possesses these characteristics or contaminants may be made based on either:
Your knowledge of the hazard characteristic of the solid waste in light of the materials or processes used; or
The results of testing the solid waste according to the methods in 40 CFR Part 261, Subpart C.
If you own or operate a facility where characteristic hazardous waste is treated, stored, or disposed, you are subject to regulation and must file a RCRA Hazardous Waste Permit Application, unless the hazardous waste has been exempted as described below.
If the hazardous waste that you handle has been exempted under 40 CFR 261.5 or 40 CFR 261.6(a)(3), you are not subject to regulation and do not need to file a RCRA Hazardous Waste Permit Application.
In addition, certain other persons who handle hazardous waste are not required to obtain a RCRA hazardous waste permit. They are:
Generators who accumulate their own hazardous waste on-site for less than 90 days as provided in 40 CFR 262.34;
Farmers who dispose of hazardous waste pesticides from their own use as provided in 40 CFR 262.70; and
(Go to Table of Contents)
Owners and operators of totally enclosed treatment facilities as defined in 40 CFR 260.10.
How To File A RCRA Hazardous Waste Permit Application
As noted above, there are two parts to the RCRA Hazardous Waste Permit Application – Part A and Part B. As required by 40 CFR 270.13, the Part A Permit Application defines the processes to be used for treatment, storage, and disposal of hazardous wastes; the design capacity of such processes; and the specific hazardous wastes to be handled at a facility. The RCRA Hazardous Waste Part A Permit Application [EPA Form 8700-23] (Part A Permit Application) is submitted by completing the two forms included in this booklet: the RCRA Subtitle C Site Identification Form (Site ID Form) and the Hazardous Waste Permit Information Form.
The Part A Permit Application serves as a vehicle through which an owner or operator may submit facility-specific information to the regulatory authority and keep this information current. As specified by 40 CFR 270.14 through 270.27, the Part B Permit Application requires detailed site-specific information such as geologic, hydrologic, and engineering data. The Part B Permit Application is submitted in narrative form.
How Many Permit Applications Should I File?
You need submit only one RCRA Hazardous Waste Permit Application (Part A and Part B) per facility, provided that you describe all of the activities at that facility. If you conduct hazardous waste activity(ies) at more than one facility, you must submit a separate RCRA Hazardous Waste Permit Application (Part A and Part B) for each facility location. You also must have an EPA Identification Number for each of the facilities.
NOTE
|
Only one RCRA Hazardous Waste Permit Application is required per facility. At some point, you may be required to submit revised applications to update your first Part A Permit Application submission. At any given time, the first submission and any subsequent revised submissions represent the Part A Permit Application for your facility.
|
Can I Request that this Information be Kept Confidential?
(Go to Table
of Contents)
Which sections of the Part A Permit Application form contain the information you claim is entitled to confidential treatment?
For how long is confidential treatment desired for the information?
What measures have you taken to guard against undesired disclosure of the information to others?
To what extent has the information been disclosed to others, and what precautions have been taken in connection with that disclosure?
Has the EPA or any other Federal agency made a pertinent confidentiality determination? If so, include a copy of such determination or reference to it, if available.
Will disclosure of the information be likely to result in substantial harmful effects on your competitive position? If so, what would those harmful effects be and why should they be viewed as substantial? Explain the causal relationship between disclosure and the harmful effects.
Information covered by confidentiality claim and the above substantiation will be disclosed by the EPA only to the extent and by means of the procedures set forth in 40 CFR Part 2 and 40 CFR 270.12.
If no claim of confidentiality or no substantiation accompanies the information when it is submitted, the EPA may make the information available to the public without further notice to the submitter.
Where Should I Send My Completed Permit Application?
You should submit the RCRA Hazardous Waste Permit Application to your State or EPA Regional contact. A list of State Contacts can be found at: http://www.epa.gov/osw/inforesources/data/form8700/contact.pdf.
Many States use the form included at the end of this booklet; some also require additional information. Other States require that you complete and submit a State-specific form. The Contact list indicates which form to use. Even if you use the included form, you should check with your State to determine if you need to submit additional information. Also, contact your State if you have any questions about your submission.
When Should I File My Permit Application?
As required by 40 CFR 270.10, the deadlines for filing RCRA Hazardous Waste Permit Applications are:
Existing Facilities
Under 40 CFR 270.10(e), existing facilities must submit a Part A Permit Application no later than six months following the publication of regulations that subject the facility to the requirement to have a RCRA hazardous waste permit.
(Go to Table
of Contents)
New Facilities
Under 40 CFR 270.10(f), new facilities must submit both Part A and Part B Permit Applications at least 180 days before commencing physical construction of the facility. A permit must be received before construction begins.
When Should My Permit Application be Revised?
Facilities Operating Under Interim Status
In accordance with 40 CFR 270.72(a), the owner or operator of a facility operating under interim status must submit a Revised Part A Permit Application at the following times:
Prior to treating, storing, or disposing of new hazardous wastes not previously identified in the facility’s Part A Permit Application. Similarly, when the EPA (or a State with an authorized RCRA program) promulgates a rule listing or identifying new hazardous wastes, facilities managing these wastes must revise their Part A Permit Application to reflect this activity.
Prior to increasing the design capacity of the processes used at the facility. The EPA Regional Administrator (or the State Director, for an authorized State) must approve changes in capacity before they take effect at the facility.
Prior to changing existing processes or adding new processes for treating, storing, and disposing of hazardous wastes at the facility. Changes in treatment, storage, and disposal practices must be approved by the Regional Administrator (or State Director) before they are implemented by a facility.
Prior to undergoing a change in ownership or operational control of a facility.
Whenever facility changes occur in accordance with an interim status corrective action order issued by the EPA, an authorized State, or by a court in a judicial action brought by the EPA or the State.
When a facility adds units for the treatment, storage, and disposal of hazardous waste that are newly regulated by the EPA or a State. A Revised Part A Permit Application must be submitted on or before the date on which the unit becomes subject to the new requirements.
Changes in the quantity of hazardous waste currently specified in the first Part A Permit Application can be made without submitting a Revised Part A Permit Application, provided the quantity does not exceed the design capacities of the processes specified in the first Part A Permit Application or a subsequent Part A Permit Application.
(Go to Table
of Contents)
Facilities Operating Under a RCRA Hazardous Waste Permit
Owners or operators of facilities operating under a RCRA Hazardous Waste Permit may modify their permit at any time, in accordance with the specific requirements in 40 CFR 270.42. Appendix I to 40 CFR 270.42 divides the various types of permit modifications into Classes 1, 2, and 3, based on the complexity of facility changes necessitating a permit modification. Class 1 modifications are minor changes that keep the permit current with changes that occur to the facility or its operation. Class 2 and 3 modifications involve more significant changes in facility operations.
In all cases when a facility owner or operator requests a permit modification, however, he or she must submit the information required in the Part A Permit Application (in 40 CFR 270.13) as part of the modification submittal.
Finally, under 40 CFR 270.10(h), facilities with a RCRA Hazardous Waste Permit must submit a new application (Part A and Part B) at least 180 days prior to the expiration date of the permit.

NOTE
|
A subsequent notification is recommended when the owner or operator of a site changes. Because an EPA Identification Number is site-specific, the new owner will keep the existing EPA Identification Number for that location. If your business moves to another location, the owner or operator must notify the State or EPA Regional Office of this change. Since your business has changed locations, a new EPA Identification Number will be assigned.
|
Item 10 – Type of Regulated Waste Activity
Mark box “Yes” or box “No” as appropriate for all current activities (as of the date submitting the form) at this site; complete any additional boxes as instructed. Current activities mean activities that are in effect when the form is submitted or those that the site plans to begin after EPA Identification Number assignment. The information you provide in Item 10 will be considered current as of the date you certify the form. If the site is no longer a generator as of the date you certify the form, you should mark the “No” (not a generator) box for Generator of Hazardous Waste.
NOTE
|
You must report your current regulated waste activities as of the date of submitting the Site ID Form. For the Hazardous Waste Report, your current status may be different than the status requiring the report during the calendar year.

Hazardous Waste Activities (complete all parts 1 through 10)
NOTE
|
Listed below are the Federal generator status definitions. If, however, the State where your site is located has definitions different from the Federal definitions, you must use the State definitions.
|
Generator of Hazardous Waste (at your site):
(Go to Table
of Contents)
If “Yes”, place an “X” in only one of the following – a, b, or c.
LQG: Large Quantity Generator
For purposes of providing information in this form, the site is a Large Quantity Generator (LQG) if the site generates any of the following amounts in a calendar month:
Greater than or equal to 1,000 kilograms (kg; 2,200 pounds [lbs]) of non-acute RCRA hazardous waste; or
Greater than 1 kg (2.2 lbs) of any RCRA acute hazardous waste listed in sections 261.31 or 261.33(e); or
Greater than 100 kg (220 lbs) of any residue or contaminated soil, waste, or other debris resulting from the cleanup of a spill, into or on any land or water, of any acute hazardous wastes listed in sections 261.31 or 261.33(e).
NOTE
|
As discussed earlier, a RCRA LQG is a site that is neither a CESQG nor a SQG. For purposes of clarity, we describe above the situations when a site would be a LQG.
If, in addition to being a LQG, you recycle hazardous wastes at your site, mark both this box and Item 10.A.4.
Hazardous secondary material managed under 40 CFR 261.2(a)(2)(ii), 40 CFR 261.4(a)(23), (24), or (25) DOES NOT count towards your generator status. However, you must check with your State to determine if you are eligible to manage hazardous secondary material under these exclusions.
|
SQG: Small Quantity Generator
This site is a SQG if the site meets all of the following criteria:
Generates, in any calendar month, more than 100 kg (220 lbs) but less than 1,000 kg (2,200 lbs) of RCRA hazardous waste; and
Does not generate, in any calendar month, more than 1 kg (2.2 lbs.) of acute hazardous waste listed in sections 261.31 or 261.33(e); and
Does not generate more than 100 kg (220 lbs) of material from the cleanup of any residue or contaminated soil, waste, or other debris resulting from the cleanup of a spill, into or on any land or water, of any acute hazardous wastes listed in sections 261.31 or 261.33(e).
NOTE
|
The definition of a SQG found at 40 CFR 260.10 is outdated. The EPA plans to make the appropriate conforming change in the future. Moreover, here in this document, for purposes of clarity, we include those situations where a SQG also may have generated amounts of acute hazardous wastes and still maintain its regulatory status as a SQG.
(Go to Table
of Contents) |
CESQG: Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generator
This site is a CESQG if the site generates less than or equal to the following amounts in a calendar month:
(i) 100 kg (220 lbs) of hazardous waste; and
(ii) 1 kg (2.2 lbs) of acute hazardous wastes listed in sections 261.31, or 261.33(e); and
(iii) 100 kg (220 lbs) of any residue or contaminated soil, waste, or other debris resulting from the cleanup of a spill, into or on any land or water, of any acute hazardous wastes listed in sections 261.31, or 261.33(e).
NOTE
|
A CESQG is defined at 40 CFR 261.5(a) as a site that generates less than or equal to 100 kg (220 lbs) of hazardous waste. However, the regulations at 40 CFR 261.5(e) discuss situations where a CESQG could be subject to full regulation. For purposes of clarity, we describe all those situations where a site continues to be a CESQG.
If you generate acute hazardous wastes listed in 40 CFR 261.31, 261.32, or 261.33(e), please refer to 40 CFR 261.5(e) to determine the circumstances under which you must notify the EPA.
|
If you marked “Yes” above, indicate your other generator activities. Mark “Yes” or “No” for the other hazardous waste activities listed below that may occur at this site. Complete all parts 2-10.
Short-Term Generators
Mark “Yes” if the site is currently generating hazardous waste only as the result of a one-time, non-recurring, temporary event that is not related to normal production processes. In other words, short-term generators produce hazardous waste from a particular activity for a limited time and then cease conducting that activity. Short-term generators would not be considered episodic generators because episodic generators have the potential to generate on a regular basis (for example, a facility that fluctuates from SQG to LQG in one month is not a short-term generator). Examples of short-term generators include: (1) one-time highway bridge waste generation; (2) underground storage tank removals; (3) generation of off-spec or out-of-date chemicals at a site that normally doesn’t generate hazardous waste; (4) remediation or spill clean-up at sites with no previous RCRA EPA Identification Number; and (5) site or production process decommissions by a new operator. If you mark “Yes”, you must provide an explanation of your short-term generation event in Item 13 – Comments.
U.S. Importer of Hazardous Waste
(Go to Table
of Contents)
Mixed Waste Generator
Mark “Yes” if you are a generator of mixed waste (waste that is both hazardous and radioactive).

If you treat, store, or dispose of hazardous waste, mark “Yes.” A RCRA Hazardous Waste Part B Permit is required for this activity. Contact the appropriate office for your State for more information. The Federal regulations for owners and operators of permitted treatment, storage, and disposal facilities (TSDFs) are found in 40 CFR Parts 264, 265, 266, and 270.
Mark “No” if any of the following conditions are true for your facility:
This facility does not receive hazardous waste from other generators and ships all waste off-site for management within the regulatory timeframe.
This facility is only involved with on-going post-closure activities, corrective actions under the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984 (HSWA), or a consent order under a non-traditional permit or without a RCRA permit being required.

Item 1 – Indicate Reason for Notification (include dates where requested)
Place an “X” in the box for the reason that applies to you:
Facility will begin managing excluded hazardous secondary material as of (mm/dd/yyyy)
Place an “X’ in this box if you are notifying that you will begin managing hazardous secondary material under the exclusion(s).
Facilities must notify prior to operating under the exclusion(s).
If placing an “X’ in this box, list the date (mm/dd/yyyy) when you will begin managing hazardous secondary material under 40 CFR 261.2(a)(2)(ii), 40 CFR 261.4(a)(23), (24), or (25). Note: If the facility had previously notified that it will stop managing hazardous secondary material in the past but will now begin anew, list the next planned start date.
Facility is still managing excluded hazardous secondary material/re-notifying as required by March 1 of each even-numbered year
Place an “X” in this box if you are re-notifying that you are still managing hazardous secondary material under the exclusion(s). Note: You must have previously notified that you began managing hazardous secondary material in order to check this box.
Facilities must notify by March 1 of each even-numbered year.
If placing an “X” in this box, you do not have to list a date.
Facility has stopped managing excluded hazardous secondary material as of (mm/dd/yyyy) and is notifying as required
Place an “X” in this box, if you are notifying that you have stopped managing hazardous secondary material under the exclusion(s) and do not expect to manage any amount of hazardous secondary material for at least one year (pursuant to 40 CFR 260.42(b)). List the date when you stopped managing hazardous secondary material. Enter the date in “mm/dd/yyyy” format.
Facilities must notify within 30 days of when they stopped managing hazardous secondary material. You are considered to have stopped managing hazardous secondary material if: (1) you stop managing hazardous secondary material completely (e.g., you cease operations); (2) you choose to manage the hazardous secondary material as hazardous waste; (3) you undergo closure and request release from financial assurance per 40 CFR 261.143(h); or (4) you temporarily suspend management of hazardous secondary material for at least one year.
(Go to Table of Contents)
Only place an “X” in this box if you have stopped managing all hazardous secondary material under the exclusion(s). For example, if your facility only stopped managing one hazardous secondary material, but continued to manage another hazardous secondary material, you would leave this box blank since your facility continues to manage some amount of hazardous secondary material.
If you submit a notification that you have stopped managing hazardous secondary material, you do not need to re-notify (unless you choose to manage hazardous secondary material again, in which case you would have to submit a notification prior to managing). After submitting a stop notification, you can leave the Addendum blank for subsequent submissions, including any subsequent Hazardous Waste Report submissions.
Item 2 – Description of Excluded Hazardous Secondary Material (HSM) Activity
In the table provided on the Addendum to the Site Identification Form, list your appropriate facility code, each waste code for the hazardous secondary material you manage, the estimated and actual quantities in short tons for each hazardous secondary material, and the appropriate land-based code for how you manage the hazardous secondary material. Do not include any information regarding your hazardous wastes in this section. See examples below on how to answer this question.
Facility Code
Using the facility codes, found in the “HAZARDOUS SECONDARY MATERIAL (HSM) FACILITY CODES” section of this booklet, enter the appropriate 2‑digit code(s) that correctly describes your facility. If more than one code applies to your facility, enter each 2-digit code on a separate row. Each hazardous secondary material should be reported by facility code.
Waste Code(s) for HSM
Use the box provided to enter the appropriate 4-digit hazardous waste code(s) that would apply to your hazardous secondary material if you managed it as hazardous waste (i.e., the waste code(s) that would apply if you did not manage your material in accordance with 40 CFR 261.2(a)(2)(ii), 40 CFR 261.4(a)(23), (24), or (25)).
NOTE
|
If you list more codes or manage more hazardous secondary material than will fit in the table under Item 2, please continue under Item 13 – Comments, or on an extra sheet. Remember to include your EPA Identification Number on the top of each page.

Estimate Short Tons of Excluded HSM to be Managed Annually
In the box provided, enter your estimated tonnage (using short tons) of hazardous secondary material you expect to manage annually. Convert all physical quantities (e.g., gallons, cubic yards, kilograms, metric tons, etc.) to short tons (1 short ton = 2,000 pounds) and round to the nearest ton (no decimals). Note: Your estimated tonnage should be for the entire amount of hazardous secondary material to be reclaimed NOT just the quantity of constituent or product reclaimed.
(Go to Table
of Contents)
Actual Short Tons of Excluded HSM Managed During the Most Recent Odd-Numbered Year
Report the tonnage (using short tons) of each hazardous secondary material you actually managed during the most recent odd-numbered year. For example, if you are submitting this notification on February 20, 2016, enter the amount you actually managed during 2015 (i.e., the tonnage you managed from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015). Convert all physical quantities (e.g., gallons, cubic yards, kilograms, metric tons, etc.) to short tons (1 short ton = 2,000 pounds) and round to the nearest ton (no decimals). Note: Your actual tonnage should be for the entire amount of hazardous secondary material that was sent for reclamation NOT just the quantity of constituent or product reclaimed. If this is your initial notification, enter “0”.
Land-based Unit Code
Using the land-based unit codes, found in the “HAZARDOUS SECONDARY MATERIAL (HSM) LAND BASED UNIT CODES” section of this booklet, enter in the 2‑digit code that best describes the land-based unit you use or will use to manage the hazardous secondary material. If you do not use any land-based units, enter “NA”. If you use the code “OT” (Other), please describe your land-based unit in Item 13 – Comments. If more than one land-based unit code applies to a hazardous secondary material, list it separately using another row.
Examples for Reporting Hazardous Secondary Material Activity
Example 1
A pharmaceutical manufacturer generates spent solvents that are characteristic for ignitability (D001). The manufacturer plans to manage spent solvents under 40 CFR 261.2(a)(2)(ii) and 261.4(a)(24) by sending some amount to a reclaimer within its own company and the rest off-site to a reclamation facility within the U.S. The manufacturer will not manage any spent solvents in a land-based unit. Following the regulations, the manufacturer submits an initial notification prior to managing its spent solvents under the exclusions. The facility would report its hazardous secondary material activity as follows:

Item 3 – Facility has Financial Assurance Pursuant to 40 CFR 261.4(a)(24)(vi)
Financial assurance is required for reclaimers (07, 11) and intermediate (08) facilities managing hazardous secondary material under 40 CFR 261.4(a)(24) and (25). See EPA’s website for more information about these regulations: http://www.epa.gov/epawaste/hazard/dsw/impresource.htm.
Mark “Yes”, if you have financial assurance pursuant to 40 CFR 261.4(a)(24)(vi) AND you use at least one facility code that is 07, 08, or 11 in Item 2.a above. For example, the facilities in Examples 3 and 5 above are required to have financial assurance because the facility codes are 07 and 08, respectively.
Mark “No”, if you do NOT have financial assurance pursuant to 40 CFR 261.4(a)(24)(vi). Note: Reclaimers (07, 11) and intermediate (08) facilities must have financial assurance in order to manage hazardous secondary material under 40 CFR 261.4(a)(24) and (25). Answering “No” to this question may mean you are in violation of these regulations if you report facility codes 07, 08, or 11. For example, the facilities in Examples 1, 2, and 4 above are not required to have financial assurance because these facilities did not report facility codes of 07, 08, or 11.

Definitions
This section contains definitions of terms helpful for completing the form. For terms defined in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), the appropriate citation is provided.
Accumulation – A site that does not hold RCRA Interim Status or a RCRA permit may accumulate hazardous waste for a short period of time before shipping it off-site. The waste must be accumulated in either tanks or containers; it may not be accumulated in surface impoundments.
Generators of more than 1,000 kilograms (kg; 2,200 pounds [lbs]) of hazardous waste per month may accumulate their waste for up to 90 days before shipping it off-site. Generators of 100 kg (220 lbs) to 1,000 kg (2,200 lbs) of hazardous waste per month may accumulate their waste for up to 180 days before shipping it off-site. If the nearest treatment, storage, disposal, or recycling facility to which they can send their waste is more than 200 miles away, they may accumulate their waste for 270 days. See 40 CFR 262.34.
Act or RCRA – The Solid Waste Disposal Act, as amended by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, as amended by the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984, 42 U.S.C. Section 6901 et seq.
Acute Hazardous Waste – Any hazardous waste with an EPA hazardous waste code beginning with the letter “P” (40 CFR 261.33(e)) or any of the following “F” codes: F020, F021, F022, F023, F026, and F027 (40 CFR 261.31). These wastes are subject to stringent quantity standards for accumulation and generation (40 CFR 261.5(e)).
Authorized Representative – The person responsible for the overall operation of the site or an operational unit (i.e., part of a site), e.g., superintendent or plant manager, or person of equivalent responsibility.
Authorized State – A State that has obtained authorization from the EPA to direct its own RCRA program.
Boiler – An enclosed device using controlled flame combustion and having the following characteristics:
The unit has physical provisions for recovering and exporting energy in the form of steam, heated fluids, or heated gases;
The unit’s combustion chamber and primary energy recovery section(s) are of integral design (i.e., they are physically formed into one manufactured or assembled unit);
The unit continuously maintains an energy recovery efficiency of at least 60 percent, calculated in terms of the recovered energy compared with the thermal value of the fuel;
The unit exports and utilizes at least 75 percent of the recovered energy, calculated on an annual basis (excluding recovered heat used internally in the same unit, for example, to preheat fuel or combustion air or drive fans or feedwater pumps); or
The unit is one which the Regional Administrator has determined, on a case-by-case basis, to be a boiler, after considering the standards in 40 CFR 260.32.
