Abstract: Section 3002(a)(5) of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) directs the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to "...establish requirements respecting...use of a manifest system and any other reasonable means necessary to assure that all such hazardous waste generated is designated for treatment, storage, or disposal, and arrives at treatment, storage, or disposal facilities...for which a permit has been issued..." Under this authority, EPA published regulations for a manifest system on February 26, 1980 (45 FR 12724). EPA established requirements for manifest completion, transmittal, and recordkeeping for hazardous waste generators at 40 CFR Part 262, Subpart B, for transporters at Part 263, Subpart B, and for treatment, storage, and disposal facilities (TSDFs) at Parts 264 and 265, Subpart E. EPA also requires the use of the Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest (UHWM or manifest). These manifest requirements have been amended on several occasions.
