2017 Hazardous Waste Report
Instructions and Form
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 the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (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 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(1)(9). This is mandatory reporting by the respondents. The respondents’ submissions (reports) describe each generated hazardous waste, the activity by which they generated the wastes, 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. The EPA uses Biennial Report data for planning and developing regulations, compliance monitoring, and enforcement. Also, Biennial Report data allow 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 provide information on whether waste management has shifted from one method of disposal to another. Some State uses of Biennial 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, the EPA will treat the information in accordance with the confidentiality regulations in 40 CFR Part 2, Subpart B. The EPA also ensures that the information collection procedures comply with the Privacy Act of 1974 and OMB Circular 108. Estimated Burden: Facilities - The reporting burden for the 2017 Hazardous Waste Report is estimated to average 14 hours for a facility to gather data, complete and review the forms, and submit the Hazardous Waste Report. The recordkeeping burden is estimated to average 5 hours for a facility to read the instructions, and file and store the Hazardous Waste Report submission for three years. 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, the EPA has established a public docket for the Information Collection Request (ICR) under Docket ID Number EPA-HQ-OLEM–2016–0182, which is available for public viewing at the RCRA Docket in the EPA Docket Center (EPA/DC), EPA West, Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave., 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 through EPA Dockets (EDOCKET) at http://www.epa.gov/dockets/regulations.htm. 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, D.C. 20503, Attention: Desk Office for EPA. Please include the EPA Docket ID Number EPA-HQ-OLEM–2016–0182and OMB Control Number 2050-0024 in any correspondence. |

Introduction
General Information
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) mission to protect human health and the environment includes the responsibility to effectively manage, with the States, the nation’s hazardous waste facilities regulated under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA), as amended by the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984 (HSWA). As part of this task, the EPA and the States:
Assign an EPA ID number to new facilities and update facility information via the Notification form found in Section 1,
Collect and maintain information about the generation, management, and final disposition of the nation’s hazardous waste regulated by RCRA via the Biennial Hazardous Waste Report (BR) form found in Section 2, and
Collect permit information from anyone who owns or operates a RCRA facility where hazardous waste is treated, stored, or disposed via the Part A Form found in Section 3.
The data you provide will be entered into a computer database by the State or the EPA Regional Office to which you return your Form or by your electronic reporting via the RCRA Industry application. Your efforts in carefully filling out all the forms are appreciated.
IF YOU NEED ASSISTANCE To obtain assistance in filling out any of the RCRA Hazardous Waste Forms, please contact your State or EPA Regional 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 is located at: https://www.epa.gov/sites/production/files/2016-03/documents/contact02172016.pdf.

What’s New?
Below is a list of 2017 changes.
RCRA Subtitle C Identification Form: (8700-12)
This form is used as the first part of the Notification (8700-12), Biennial Hazardous Waste Report (BR) (8700-13 A/B), and Part A (8700-23) submission.
Several changes occured as a result of the 2016 Hazardous Waste Generator Improvements Final Rule, the 2016 Hazardous Waste export-Import Revisions Final Rule, and the 2015 Definition of SOlid Waste fInal RUle
Recently EPA published the 2016 Hazardous Waste Generator Improvements Final Rule which made numerous changes to the hazardous waste generator regulatory program (81 FR 85732). Facilities that recycle regulated hazardous waste without first storing the waste (i.e., the facility does not have a RCRA Part B storage permit) must now report. (See 40 CFR 261.6 (c)(2)(iv)).
There also are several changes to the Site Identification form (8700-12) as a result of this new regulation, primarily in Item 10 “Type of Regulated Waste Activities”. Specific changes include requiring:
Facilities that either recycle hazardous waste with a RCRA permit (i.e., store the hazardous waste prior to recycling), or recycle hazardous waste without first storing the material they receive to notify. (See 40 CFR 261.6 (c)(2)(iv) which references 40 CFR 265.75 to notify EPA.)
Very small quantity generators (VSQGs), previously called conditionally exempt small quantity generators (CESQGs), to notify EPA, if necessary, to obtain a RCRA ID if taking advantage of the episodic generation provision at 40 CFR 262.232 (a) in Item 13.
Small quantity generators (SQGs) to notify EPA if taking advantage of the episodic generation provision at 40 CFR 262.232 (b) in Item 13 and to re-notify beginning in 2021 and every 4 years thereafter unless a state program has more frequent reporting/notification requirements (See 40 CFR 262.18) in Item 10.
Large quantity generators (LQGs) to notify EPA when:
Consolidating wastes from VSQGs under the control of the same person in Item 14. (See 40 CFR 262.17 (f)). Such LQGs must complete the Addendum to the Site Identification Form (8700-12): LQG Consolidation of VSQG Hazardous Waste, and identify the RCRA Identification Number of the VSQG (if applicable), name, address, emergency contact phone number and contact name of every VSQG that they are receiving hazardous wastes from.
Closing either a waste accumulation unit (if they chose to) or their facility, both prior to closing and after conducting closure performance operations in Item 15 (See 40 CFR 262.17 (a)(8)).
As a result of the 2016 Hazardous Waste Export-Import Revisions Final Rule (81 FR 85696, November 28, 2016), recognized traders arranging for export or import of hazardous waste, including hazardous waste managed under the alternate standards of 40 CFR Part 266 and the universal waste standards of 40 CFR Part 273, are required to have EPA Identification numbers. A recognized trader is defined in 40 CFR 260.10 as a person domiciled in the United States, by site of business, who acts to arrange and facilitate transboundary movements of wastes destined for recovery or disposal operations, either by purchasing from and subsequently selling to United States and foreign facilities, or by acting under arrangements with a United States waste facility to arrange for the export or import of the wastes. Additionally, revisions to 40 CFR 266.80(a) make exporters and importers of spent lead-acid batteries (SLABs) subject to 40 CFR 262.18 requirements to obtain EPA Identification numbers.
There also are several changes to the Site Identification form (8700-12) either as a result of this new regulation or to clarify existing requirements, primarily in Item 11 “Additional Regulated Waste Activities”. Specific changes include:
Requiring recognized traders to notify EPA of their import and export activities by site of business (Item 11.4).
Requiring exporters and importers of SLABs to notify EPA of their import and export activities (Item 11.5).
Requiring large and small quantity generators to include both the hazardous wastes the generator has physically generated on site and any hazardous wastes that the generator has regulatorily generated by importing (e.g., an act first causing a hazardous waste to become subject to RCRA regulations) in the maximum amount generated in any calendar month (Item 10.A.1.a and 10.A.1.b.)
Also, on January 13, 2015, EPA published the Definition of Solid Waste (DSW) final rule (80 FR 1694), which revised the regulations related to certain exclusions from solid and hazardous waste regulation. Changes have been made to the Site ID form, particularly to the Addendum to the Site ID Form: Notification of Hazardous Secondary Material Activity including deleting the Financial Assurance question and updating the list of Excluded Wastes and Hazardous Secondary Material (HSM) Facility Codes in this Addendum to reflect this final rule.
Other changes
The Reason for Submittal, Item 1 on the Site Identification form (8700-12), was revised to make submissions easier. The reason for submittal has been broken out into 5 options:
Obtaining or updating an EPA ID number for an on-going regulated activity that will continue for a period of time. (Includes HSM activity)
This combines the previous “To provide an Initial Notification (first time submitting site identification information / to obtain an EPA ID number for this location) and “To provide a Subsequent Notification (to update site identification information for this location)” reasons.
Submitting as a component of the Hazardous Waste Report
This was the previous “As a component of the Hazardous Waste Report”
Notifying that regulated activity is no longer occurring at this Site
This is a new option to indicate that no Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) regulated or State regulated Subtitle C hazardous waste activity is being conducted at the site or will be conducted at the site. (This will deactivate the EPA ID).
Obtaining or updating an EPA ID number for conducting Electronic Manifest Broker activities
This is a new option to allow Electronic Manifest Broker to obtain an EPA Identification number for Electronic Manifest Brokers to create and broker manifest transactions for handlers of hazardous waste. An Electronic Manifest Broker is considered a user of the electronic manifest system that has a contractual relationship and elects to use the system to obtain, complete and transmit an electronic manifest format supplied by the EPA electronic manifest system for handlers of hazardous wastes.
Submitting a new or revised Part A Form
This combines the previous “As a component of a First RCRA Hazardous Waste Part A Permit Application” and “As a component of a Revised RCRA Hazardous Waste Part A Permit Application” reasons.
new items added
The following new items have been added to the Site Identification Form (8700-12).
To the Owner field: Added e-mail, telephone number extension, fax, and notes field;
To the Operator filed: Add address, e-mail, telephone number and extension, fax, and notes field for your business;
Added fields for Episodic Generation, LQG Consolidation of VSQG hazardous waste, and Notification of LQG Site Closure;
Added a field for Electronic Manifest Broker;
Added an Addendum for LQG Consolidation of VSQG Hazardous Waste Hazardous Waste; and
Added an Addendum for Episodic Generator.
revisions to source code description
G51 is included to address LQGs that receive hazardous wastes from VSQGs that are under the control of the same person, as defined at 40 CFR 260.10.
revisions to management method code description
Separate the original management method code, H132, (defined as landfill or surface impoundment that will be closed as landfill (to include treatment and/or stabilization)” into two management method codes:
H130 (new management method code), described as “Surface impoundment that will be closed as a landfill (with prior treatment and/or stabilization)”;
H132, described as “Landfill (with prior treatment and/or stabilization)”
H135 is revised as “Discharge to sewer/POTW or NPDES with prior management (e.g., storage or transported prior to discharge to POTW or by NPDES)
H141 is revised as “The site receiving this waste stored/bulked and transferred the waste with no reclamation, recovery, destruction, treatment, or disposal at that site
CLARIFICATION FOR IMPORT AND EXPORT shipments - USE FOREIGN SITE IDENTIFICATION NUMBEr
Beginning with the 2017 RCRA Hazardous Waste forms, EPA is implementing site-specific unique Foreign Site Identification Number for use in reporting foreign handlers for both hazardous waste import and export shipments. This is occurring so that the regulatory agencies are able to track hazardous wastes from cradle to grave.
RCRA 2017 Hazardous Waste Report (Biennial Report) (8700-13 A/B)
CLARIFICATION FOR IMPORT AND EXPORT shipments - USE FOREIGN SITE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
Beginning with the 2017 Hazardous Waste Report, EPA is implementing site-specific unique Foreign Site Identification Number for use in reporting foreign handlers on the BR Forms for both hazardous waste import and export shipments. This is occurring so that the regulatory agencies are able to track hazardous wastes from cradle to grave.
For export shipments, use Foreign Site Identification Number only if your State requires you to report exported hazardous waste shipment in the GM Item 3.B of the BR. You are still required to submit an export annual report to EPA separately (see 40 CFR 262.83(g)).
For reporting imported hazardous waste, an EPA-acceptable alternative for you to meet your generator biennial reporting requirement for those import shipments would be for you to add a statement to the comment field of your WR form for those import shipments noting that your TSDF was the importer of record for the listed import shipment(s). Please check with your authorized State Agency on how best to meet your generator biennial reporting requirements for import shipments.
LQG Consolidation of VSQG Hazardous Waste Hazardous Waste
Consolidating wastes from VSQGs under the control of the same person. (See 40 CFR 262.17(f)). Such LQGs must complete the Addendum to the Site Identification Form (8700-12): LQG Consolidation of VSQG Hazardous Waste, and identify the RCRA Identification Number of the VSQG (if applicable), name, address, emergency contact phone number and contact name of every VSQG that they are receiving hazardous wastes from. Similarly, as part of completing their biennial report, affected LQGs also must complete a GM form for every different type of hazardous wastes they receive from VSQGs and use Source Code G51 to identify the derivation of the waste (i.e., the HW that is consolidated from its VSQGs).
revisions to source code description
G25 is revised as “Treatment, disposal, or recycling of hazardous wastes – report a management method code, e.g., indicated in Item G of WR Form for the management method (enter the related management method code, a H code, but not H141) that produced the residuals.”
G61 is revised as “Received from off-site for storage/bulking and transfer off-site for treatment or disposal (to match H141 received waste quantities from Form WR’s). GENERATION QUANTITY SHOULD BE ZERO to avoid double counting.”
revisions to management method code description
H141 is revised as “The site receiving this waste stored/bulked and transferred the waste with no reclamation, recovery, destruction, treatment, or disposal at that site [Do not use in Item 1.D for source code G25 or Item 2 (on-site management) of Form GM]. For Form WR, linked to source code G61 on Form GM.
Can I Request That This Information Be Kept Confidential?
Confidential Business Information (CBI)
You may not withhold information from the Administrator of the EPA because it is confidential. All information you submit on RCRA Subtitle C Forms can be released to the public, according to the Freedom of Information Act, unless it is determined to be confidential by the EPA pursuant to 40 CFR Part 2. Since most RCRA Hazardous Waste Forms information is very general, the EPA believes it is unlikely that any information in your RCRA Hazardous Waste Forms could qualify to be protected from release. However, when the Administrator is requested to consider information confidential, it must be treated according to the EPA regulations contained in 40 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 40 CFR Part 2, 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.
If your State is authorized to conduct the RCRA Subtitle C program, check with the State if you wish to assert a claim of business confidentiality on your forms. The State may have specific procedures for asserting a claim.
Where Should I Send My Completed Form?
We have provided an up-to-date list of the address for your State or EPA Regional Office where you should send your completed forms. The contact list can be found at:

Section 1
Notification of RCRA Subtitle C Activities (8700-12)
NOTIFICATION OF RCRA SUBTITLE C ACTIVITIES
Introduction
This booklet is designed to help you determine if you are subject to requirements under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA), as amended by the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984 (HSWA) for notifying the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of your regulated waste activities. Regulated wastes are hazardous wastes as defined by 40 CFR 261, universal wastes as defined by 40 CFR 273, and used oil as defined by 40 CFR 279. Furthermore, if you are managing hazardous secondary material under 40 CFR 260.30, 40 CFR 261.4(a)(23), (24), or (27), you also must notify under 40 CFR 260.42, reporting episodic generation under 40 CFR Part 262 Subp art L, or you are an LQG consolidating hazardous waste from VSQGs under 40 CFR 262.17(f) you must complete the RCRA Subtitle C Site Identification Form (8700-12) and appropriate Addendums to the Site Identification Form. The instructions contained in this booklet will assist you in obtaining or updating an EPA Identification number by completing and submitting the RCRA Subtitle C Site Identification Form (Site ID Form: 8700-12). RCRA is a Federal law. If you are regulated but do not comply with the RCRA notification requirements, you may be subject to civil penalties.
Authority
The authority for the Notification of RCRA Subtitle C Activity is contained in Sections 3010 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA), as amended by the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984 (HSWA).

Your Trade Association
If you are a member of an industry-specific trade association, they may have information regarding hazardous wastes that are generated by other members.
Initial Notification to Obtain an EPA Identification Number
If you do not currently have an EPA Identification Number and you handle regulated waste or hazardous secondary material or you are an Electronic Manifest Broker, you must submit an Initial Notification to Obtain an EPA Identification Number. Please refer to information contained in the “DETERMINING IF YOU MUST NOTIFY” in this booklet to help you determine whether you handle a regulated waste, whether any exemptions or exclusions apply to you, and how you should file the Notification of RCRA Subtitle C Activity. Circumstances under which you should submit an Initial Notification include:
If you generate, transport, treat, store, or dispose of hazardous waste. Refer to the “DETERMINING IF YOU MUST NOTIFY” in this booklet for further information and a description of exclusions or exemptions; or
If you recycle hazardous wastes. (Recyclable materials are defined as hazardous wastes that are recycled). The recycling process itself is exempt from regulation, but you must notify the EPA and obtain an EPA Identification Number prior to recycling recyclable materials. Refer to the “DETERMINING IF YOU MUST NOTIFY” section of this booklet for further information and a description of exemptions; or
If you are a large quantity handler of universal waste. Refer to the “DETERMINING IF YOU MUST NOTIFY” in this booklet for further information and a description of exemptions. (Notification is required for people who have not previously notified the EPA of their hazardous waste activities or who have not already sent a notification to the EPA as required by 40 CFR 273.32); or
If you transport, process, or re-refine used oil; burn off-specification used oil for energy recovery; or market used oil. Refer to the “DETERMINING IF YOU MUST NOTIFY” in this booklet for further information and for a description of exemptions. (Notification is required for people who have not previously notified the EPA of their hazardous waste activities or have not notified under 40 CFR Part 279 or under 40 CFR Part 266, Subpart E, which was replaced by 40 CFR Part 279.)
If you are an eligible academic entity opting into 40 CFR Part 262, Subpart K for managing laboratory hazardous wastes AND you have never before submitted site identification information, you must submit this form to notify the appropriate State or EPA Regional Office of your activities.
NOTE
|
|
If you will begin managing hazardous secondary material under 40 CFR 260.30, 40 CFR 261.4(a)(23), (24), or (27) you must submit this form, pursuant to 40 CFR 260.42, to notify the appropriate State or EPA Regional Office of your activities.
NOTE
|
|
If your business moves to another location and you are still conducting activities regulated under RCRA Subtitle C.
If you are an LQG notifying of consolidating VSQG Hazardous Waste Under the Control of the Same Person pursuant to 40 CFR 262.17(f).
If you are an SQG or VSQG generating hazardous waste from a planned or unplanned episodic event, lasting no more than 60 days, that moves you to a higher generator category.
Subsequent Notification for On-Going Regulated Activity
Even if you have submitted an Initial Notification to obtain an EPA ID and have received an EPA Identification Number, you may be required to submit a Subsequent Notification for on-going regulated activity. Also, the facility should check with its State to find out if there is state-specific subsequent notification required for other types of situations. Please refer to the “DETERMINING IF YOU MUST NOTIFY” in this booklet for information on when and how to complete a Subsequent Notification. In general, you should submit a Subsequent Notification under the following circumstances:
If the contact for your site changes.
If the ownership of your site changes.
If an additional owner has been added or replaced since you submitted your last notification.
If the type of RCRA Subtitle C activity you conduct changes.
If you have previously submitted site identification information and are an eligible academic entity opting into or withdrawing from 40 CFR Part 262, Subpart K for managing laboratory hazardous wastes, you must use this form.
NOTE
|
|
If you are managing or will stop managing hazardous secondary material under 40 260.30, 40 CFR 261.4(a)(23), (24), or (27), you are required to re-notify by March 1 of each even-numbered year pursuant to 40 CFR 260.42.

Determining If You Must Notify
How To Determine If You Must Notify of your Subtitle C Activities
All persons who generate, transport, recycle, treat, store, or dispose of hazardous waste are required to notify the EPA (or their State agency if the State is authorized to operate its own hazardous waste program) of their hazardous waste activities. Furthermore, if you are managing hazardous secondary material under 40 CFR 260.30, 40 CFR 261.4(a)(23), (24), or (27), you also must notify using the RCRA Subtitle C Site Identification Form (8700-12) and Addendum to the Site Identification Form. Lastly, if you are a recognized trader arranging for import or export of hazardous wastes, including hazardous waste managed under the alternate management standards of 40 CFR Part 266, you must notify. These persons must obtain an EPA Identification Number unless their solid waste has been excluded from regulation or their hazardous waste has been exempted as outlined below. These respective notification requirements are found in 40 CFR Parts 260, 261, 262, 263, 264, 265, and 266.
In addition to the discussion below, you will need to refer to 40 CFR Part 261 to help you determine if the waste you handle is both a solid waste and a hazardous waste that is regulated under RCRA. If you need help making this determination after reading these instructions, contact the agency listed for your State. The list of contact names, addresses, telephone numbers, and e-mail addresses is located at: https://www.epa.gov/sites/production/files/2016-03/documents/contact02172016.pdf. If your facility was granted a solid waste variance under 40 CFR 260.30 prior to July 13, 2015, the management of your hazardous secondary materials under 40 CFR 260.30 is grandfathered under the previous regulations and you are not required to notify.
NOTE
|
Under the Hazardous Waste Import Regulations, 40 CFR Part 262.60(a), foreign generators should not apply for an EPA Identification Number. These regulations state that when filling out a U.S. manifest, you must include the name and address of the foreign generator, and the name, address, and EPA Identification Number of the importer. Please contact the U.S. firms involved with your shipments and determine which firm will serve as the U.S. Importer. |
To determine if you handle a solid waste that is also a hazardous waste and regulated under RCRA, ask yourself the following questions:
DO I HANDLE A SOLID WASTE?
40 CFR 261.2 defines “solid waste” as any discarded material that is not excluded under 40 CFR 261.4(a) or that is not excluded by variance granted under 40 CFR 260.30 and 260.31. A discarded material is any material which is:
Abandoned, as explained in 40 CFR 261.2(b); or
Recycled, as explained in 40 CFR 261.2(c); or
Considered inherently waste-like as explained in 40 CFR 261.2(d); or
A military munition identified as a solid waste in 40 CFR 266.202.
The list of general exclusions can be found in 40 CFR 261.4. If the solid waste that you handle has been excluded, either by rule or special variance, then you do not need to notify the EPA for that solid waste unless otherwise stated in the regulations. If your solid waste was not excluded from regulation, you need to determine if it is a hazardous waste that the EPA regulates. The EPA regulates a solid waste as hazardous waste in two ways:
By specifically listing the solid waste as a hazardous waste and assigning it a unique EPA Hazardous Waste Code Number; or
By regulating it because it possesses any of four hazardous waste characteristics and assigning it a generic EPA Hazardous Waste Code Number.
IS MY SOLID WASTE SPECIFICALLY LISTED AS A HAZARDOUS WASTE?
40 CFR 261.30 through 261.33 identify certain solid wastes that the EPA has specifically listed as hazardous. Persons who handle listed hazardous waste are subject to regulation and must notify the EPA of their hazardous waste activities unless they are exempted as discussed below. Refer to these regulations to see if your solid waste is included as a “listed hazardous waste.” If you are handling a newly regulated hazardous waste and have already notified the EPA prior to that hazardous waste being regulated and already have an EPA Identification Number, you do not need to submit a Subsequent Notification for that newly regulated hazardous waste.
DOES MY SOLID WASTE POSSESS A HAZARDOUS CHARACTERISTIC?
Even if your solid waste is not specifically listed as a hazardous waste, it may still be hazardous because it exhibits certain hazardous characteristics. These characteristics are:
Ignitability;
Corrosivity;
Reactivity; and
Toxicity.
40 CFR 261.20 through 261.24 explain each of the characteristics and outlines the testing procedures you should use to determine if your solid waste meets these characteristics. Persons who handle characteristic hazardous waste that is regulated must notify the EPA of their activities unless they are exempted, as discussed below. If you are handling a newly regulated hazardous waste and have already notified the EPA prior to that hazardous waste being regulated and already have an EPA Identification Number, you do not need to submit a Subsequent Notification for that newly regulated hazardous waste.
Has My Hazardous Waste Been Exempted From The Regulations Under 40 CFR 262.13 And 26.13(A)(3) And 261.6(A)(3)?
40 CFR 262.13 and 261.6(a)(3) list certain hazardous wastes that are not subject to RCRA regulation. If the hazardous waste that you handle has been exempted, then you do not need to notify the EPA for that hazardous waste.
How To Determine If you Must Notify EPA of Your Universal Waste Activities
Under 40 CFR Part 273, Subpart C, Large Quantity Handlers of Universal Waste (LQHUW) who accumulate a total of 5,000 kilograms (kg) or more of universal wastes at any time are required to notify the EPA (or their State agency if the State is authorized to operate its own universal waste program) of their universal waste activities and obtain an EPA Identification Number, unless they have previously notified the EPA of their hazardous waste activities. Large Quantity Handlers of Universal Waste must notify the EPA of their universal waste activities and obtain an EPA Identification Number before meeting or exceeding the 5,000 kg storage limit. Small Quantity Handlers of Universal Waste are exempt from these notification requirements.
How To Determine If you Must Notify EPA of Your Used Oil Management Activities
Under 40 CFR Part 279, Subparts E, F, G, and H, respectively, persons who transport used oil; process or re-refine used oil; burn off-specification used oil for energy recovery; or market used oil fuel, are required to notify the EPA (or their State agency if the State is authorized to operate its own used oil program) and obtain an EPA Identification Number, unless they are exempt as outlined below. Off-specification used oil may be burned for energy recovery in an industrial furnace, boiler, or hazardous waste incinerator subject to regulation under Subpart O of 40 CFR Part 264 or 265.
Used oil transporters; used oil processors/re-refiners; off-specification used oil burners; and used oil fuel marketers who have not previously notified the EPA of their hazardous waste activities or notified under 40 CFR Part 266, Subpart E (replaced by 40 CFR Part 279) must notify the EPA to identify their used oil management activities.
Who Is Exempt From Used Oil Notification Requirements?
Persons Who Burn On-Specification Used Oil Fuel
Used oil that is to be burned for energy recovery and that meets the specification provided under 40 CFR 279.11 is exempt from the regulations. However, the person who first claims that the used oil meets the specification is subject to notification as a used oil fuel marketer and certain other requirements (see 40 CFR Part 279, Subpart H). The burner of fuel that meets the specification in 40 CFR 279.11 is not required to notify.
USED OIL GENERATORS
Used oil generators are not required to notify the EPA.
USED OIL GENERATORS OPERATING USED OIL-FIRED SPACE HEATERS
Persons who burn only used oil that they generate (or used oil received from household do-it-yourself used oil changers) in used oil-fired space heaters are exempt from the notification requirement provided that the device is vented to the outdoors and the device is not designed to have a capacity greater than 0.5 million BTU/hour.
How Many Forms Should I File?
A person who is subject to the hazardous waste, universal waste, or used oil management regulations under RCRA should submit one Site ID Form per RCRA site. If you manage academic laboratory waste under Subpart K or hazardous secondary material under 40 CFR 260.30, 40 CFR 261.4(a)(23), (24), or (27), you should submit one Site ID Form and, if appropriate, the Addendums to the Site Identification Form.
Section 2
2017 Hazardous Waste Report (8700-13 A/B)
2017 HAZARDOUS WASTE REPORT
Introduction
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) 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 of 1976 (RCRA), as amended by the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984 (HSWA).
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 2017. The information collected will:
Provide the EPA and the States with an understanding of hazardous waste generation and management in the U.S.
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 RCRAInfo Web located at: https://rcrainfo.epa.gov/rcrainfoweb/action/main-menu.
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, the 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 2017 Hazardous Waste Report forms, please carefully read the instructions in this booklet. IF YOU NEED ASSISTANCE To obtain assistance in filling out the 2017 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 is located at: https://www.epa.gov/sites/production/files/2016-03/documents/contact02172016.pdf.

Authority
The authority for the 2017 Hazardous Waste Report is contained in Sections 3002(a)(6) and 3004(a) 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 TSDFs for the wastes they receive.
Who Must File The Hazardous Waste Report?
You are required by Federal statute (mandatory reporting) to complete and file the 2017 Hazardous Waste Report (also known as the “Biennial Report”) or your State’s equivalent hazardous waste report if you:
Met the definition (see box below) of a RCRA Large Quantity Generator (LQG) during 2017; or
Treated, stored, recycled or disposed of RCRA hazardous wastes on-site or shipped hazardous waste off-site to a RCRA permitted treatment, storage, recycling and disposal facility, or received hazardous wastes from off-site hazardous waste generators without storing the wastes before recycling during 2017.
If you are required to report, see “WHICH FORMS TO SUBMIT AND WHAT TO REPORT” to determine which forms you must submit.
DEFINITION OF A RCRA LARGE QUANTITY GENERATOR FOR PURPOSES OF REPORTING WHO MUST REPORT FOR CALENDAR YEAR 2017
You are a RCRA LQG for 2017 if you, by site, generate any of the following amounts in a calendar month:
(i) Generates, in any calendar month, (which includes quantities imported by importer site) 1,000 kilograms [kgs]/month [mo] (2,200 pounds [lbs]/mo) or more of non-acute RCRA hazardous waste; or (ii) Generates, in a calendar month, or accumulates at any time, more than 1 kg/mo (2.2 lbs/mo) of any RCRA acute hazardous waste listed in sections 261.31 or 261.33(e); or (iii) Generates, in any calendar month, or accumulates at any time, more than 100 kg/mo (220 lbs/mo) of residue or contaminated soil, waste, or other debris resulting from the cleanup of a spill, into or on any land or water, of any RCRA acute hazardous waste listed in sections 261.31 or 261.33(e).
Note: As part of the 2016 Hazardous Waste Generator Improvements Final Rule, the definitions of very small quantity generators (VSQGs), (previously called conditionally exempt small quantity generators (CESQGs)), small quantity generators (SQGs) and large quantity generators (LQGs) have been codified in 40 CFR 260.10.
Also, a generator that generates amounts above the LQG threshold of either acute hazardous waste or residue or contaminated soil containing acute hazardous wastes would become a LQG for the calendar month. In this case, you also would need to complete a Hazardous Waste Report.
Note: You will report your current Hazardous Waste Generator status as of the date of submitting your 2017 Hazardous Waste Report on the Site ID Form in Item 10.A.1 – Generator of Hazardous Waste. Your current status may be different from the status during the report year that requires you to file the Hazardous Waste Report.
Note: Hazardous waste imported from a site located in a foreign country in 2017 must be counted in determining your generator status if your site is the U.S. Importer. This waste must be reported on the Waste Generation and Management Form (GM Form) or the Waste Received From Off-site Form (WR Form) in your 2017Hazardous Waste Report.
Note: Some States, as a matter of State law, require other categories of generators to report as well. See the discussion under “STATE-SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS.” |
Sites That Should Not File The Hazardous Waste Report?
Do not file the 2017 Hazardous Waste Report if, during 2017, your site was not a RCRA LQG (i.e., your site did not meet any of the LQG criteria) and your site did not treat, store, recycle or dispose of RCRA hazardous wastes on-site and/or received from off-site in waste management units’ subject to a RCRA operating permit. Exception: File the report if your State has more stringent reporting requirements. See “STATE-SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS” below.
If you are not required to report, you should notify us if your hazardous waste generator status has changed; please fill out the RCRA Subtitle C Site Identification Form (Site ID Form: 8700-12) and submit it to your State Office. See Section 4 for instruction on filling out the Site Identification Form. Place an “X” in the box for Obtaining or updating an EPA ID number for an on-going regulated activity that will continue for a period of time in Item 1 – Reason for Submittal.
Unless required by your State, you are not required to submit the 2017 Hazardous Waste Report, during 2017, for your hazardous waste that was exported directly out of the U.S. to a site located in a foreign country. Facilities that export hazardous waste must file a separate Annual Report under 40 CFR 262.83(g). (This Annual Report will be in addition to the Hazardous Waste Report, if your State requires you to submit a Hazardous Waste Report with hazardous waste exported to a site located in a foreign country.)
State-Specific Requirements
States may impose reporting requirements above and beyond the Federal requirements. If your State does so, it will attach information to (or delete information from) this booklet. Alternatively, some States use a modified version of this report or their own instructions and forms to fulfill their reporting requirements. Please contact your State office about State-specific requirements. See the contacts list at: https://www.epa.gov/sites/production/files/2016-03/documents/contact02172016.pdf.
How Many Forms Should I File?
A person who is subject to the hazardous waste, universal waste, or used oil management regulations under RCRA should submit one Site ID Form per RCRA site. If you manage academic laboratory waste under Subpart K or hazardous secondary material under 40 CFR 260.30, 40 CFR 261.4(a)(23), (24), or (27), you should submit one Site ID Form and, if appropriate, the Addendums to the Site Identification Form. If you conduct any regulated waste or hazardous secondary material activity at more than one RCRA site, you must submit a separate notification for each RCRA site using the Site ID Form. (See instruction in Section 4).
Instructions for Filing The 2017 Hazardous Waste Report
Introduction
The instructions and forms for the 2017 Hazardous Waste Report are prepared by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for generators and treatment, storage, recycling and disposal facilities to report their hazardous waste activities for 2017.
Additionally, a site may use this Hazardous Waste Report to notify their regulatory authority that they are managing hazardous secondary material under 40 CFR 260.30, 40 CFR 261.4(a)(23), (24), or (27) (these facilities would notify using the RCRA Subtitle C Site Identification Form (8700-12) and Addendum to the Site Identification Form).
To determine if you are required to file the Hazardous Waste Report, read “WHO MUST FILE THE 2017 HAZARDOUS WASTE REPORT.”
“WHICH FORMS TO SUBMIT AND WHAT TO REPORT” describes circumstances and situations under which each of the forms should be completed.
“FILLING OUT THE FORMS” in the Introduction Section of this booklet, provides general guidelines for filling out the Hazardous Waste Report forms. This includes where to find the telephone number for the State Contacts, which you can call with questions about completing the Hazardous Waste Report.
Detailed instructions for filling out each of the forms are provided. Other reference information and code lists are provided, including: a list of excluded wastes; definitions of key terms; special instructions that explains how to report certain types of wastes (e.g., lab packs, PCBs); a list of hazardous waste codes, hazardous secondary material facility codes, hazardous secondary material land-based unit codes, source codes, form codes, management method codes, waste minimization codes, and sample of Foreign Site Identification Number.
Documents Helpful In Filling Out The Forms
To prepare the RCRA Hazardous Waste forms, you should consult your records on quantities and types of hazardous waste that your site generated, managed, shipped, or received in 2017. Some records that may be helpful are:
Hazardous waste manifest forms;
Hazardous Waste Report forms submitted in previous years;
Records of quantities of hazardous waste generated or accumulated on-site;
Results of laboratory analyses of your waste;
Contracts or agreements with off-site facilities managing your wastes; and
Copies of permits for on-site waste management systems.
When and Where To Send Your Completed Report
The 2017 Hazardous Waste Report is due to your State or EPA Regional Office by March 1, 2018, or the next business day if March 1 falls on a weekend. Return your completed Hazardous Waste Report to the address listed for your State or Regional contact. An updated listing of State and EPA Regional mailing addresses, contact names, telephone numbers, and e-mail addresses is maintained at:
https://www.epa.gov/sites/production/files/2016-03/documents/contact02172016.pdf.
Which Forms To Submit And What To Report
The 2017 Hazardous Waste Report contains the following four forms:
Site ID Form (8700-12)
A site required to file the 2017 Hazardous Waste Report MUST also submit the RCRA Subtitle C Site Identification Form (Site ID Form: 8700-12) as a component of Hazardous Waste Report. (See Section 4 of this booklet for instructions on completing the RCRA Subtitle C Site Identification Form: 89700-12.)
Mark “Submitting as a component of the Hazardous Waste Report for 2017” as the Reason for Submittal. Additionally, indicate if your site was a TSD facility and/or generator of >1,000 kg of hazardous waste, >1 kg of acute hazardous waste, or >100 kg of acute hazardous waste spill cleanup in one or more months in 2017.
You will fill out the Site ID Form by reporting all information current as of the date of submitting your 2017 Hazardous Waste Report. This includes reporting your current Hazardous Waste Generator status in Item 10.A.1 (Generator of Hazardous Waste), which may have changed since 2017.
Sites that will begin managing, are managing, or will stop managing hazardous secondary material under 40 CFR 260.30, 40 CFR 261.4(a)(23), (24), or (27), must submit the Addendum to the Site Identification Form as a component of the Hazardous Waste Report pursuant to 40 CFR 260.42. You are required to re-notify by March 1 of each even-numbered year pursuant to 40 CFR 260.42. These regulations exclude certain hazardous secondary material(s) being reclaimed from the RCRA Subtitle C definition of solid waste provided certain requirements and conditions are met.
NOTE: |
If your site was granted a solid waste variance under 40 CFR 260.30 prior to July 13, 2015, the management of your hazardous secondary materials under 40 CFR 260.30 is grandfathered under the previous regulations and you are not required to notify unless you became an LQG as a result of generating new hazardous wastes from which the variance was granted. |
GM Form (8700-13 A/B)
A site required to file the 2017 Hazardous Waste Report must submit Waste Generation and Management Form(s) (GM Form(s)) 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 2017; or
Generated and accumulated on-site in 2017 but not managed on-site or shipped off-site until after 2017; or
Generated and accumulated on-site prior to 2017 but either managed on-site or shipped off-site in 2017; or
Hazardous wastes received from VSQGs by LQGs under the control of the same “person” (as defined at 40 CFR 260.10) and managed according to the applicable hazardous waste regulations at 40 CFR 262.17 (f) in 2017; or
Imported from a site located in a foreign country in 2017.
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 [WR Form]) 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 for off-site shipment;
Derived from the management of non-hazardous waste; or
Derived from the on-site treatment (including reclamation), disposal, or recycling of previously existing hazardous waste (as a residual).
Unless required by your State, you are not required to complete GM Form Item 3.B for hazardous waste shipped directly to a site located in a foreign country (i.e., hazardous waste directly exported). Facilities that export hazardous waste must file a separate Annual Report under 40 CFR 262.83(g). (This Annual Report will be in addition to the Hazardous Waste Report, if your State requires you to submit a Hazardous Waste Report with hazardous waste exported to a site located in a foreign country.)
WR Form (8700-13 A/B)
A site required to file the 2017 Hazardous Waste Report must submit Waste Received From Off-site Form(s) (WR Form(s)) if, during 2017, it received RCRA hazardous waste from off-site and managed the waste on-site (including subsequent transfer off-site). This includes imports of hazardous waste received from a site located in a foreign country, hazardous wastes that are received and recycled without first being stored, and hazardous wastes received and stored prior to being recycled (i.e., the site has a RCRA storage permit), and hazardous wastes received from hazardous wastes generators to be partially reclaimed into commodity-like materials excluded from RCRA regulations.
OI Form (8700-13 A/B)
A site must complete Off-site Identification Form(s) (OI Form(s)) only if the site’s State requires it. Instructions for OI Forms are on the back of the form. For a list of State contacts go to:
https://www.epa.gov/sites/production/files/2016-03/documents/contact02172016.pdf.
Section 3
RCRA Hazardous Waste Permit Part A (8700-23)
THE RCRA HAZARDOUS WASTE PERMIT PART A
Introduction
The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), as amended by the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984 (HSWA) 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 section is designed to help you determine if you are subject to RCRA hazardous waste permitting requirements. The instructions contained in this section will assist you in starting the permitting process by completing and submitting a RCRA Hazardous Waste Part A Permit Application (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 Form and Part B. Part A of the RCRA Hazardous Waste Permit Application consists of both the RCRA Subtitle C Site Identification Form (see Section 4 of this booklet) and the Hazardous Waste Permit Form (Part A), 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.
Authority
The authority for the Permit Applications is contained in Sections 3005 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA), as amended by the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984 (HSWA).
Existing Facilities
render the facility subject to the requirement to obtain a RCRA permit. RCRA established a procedure for obtaining interim status that allows these existing facilities to continue operating until a final hazardous waste permit is issued.
You must submit a RCRA Subtitle C Site Identification Form (8700-12) and Permit Part A Application completing all required forms included in this booklet. If you do not file a RCRA Subtitle C Site Identification Form 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 a RCRA Subtitle C Site Identification Form (8700-12), Hazardous Waste Permit Form (Part A: 8700-23), and Part B information 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.
See Section 4 of this booklet for instructions on completing the RCRA Subtitle C Site Identification Form (8700-12). This current section provides specific information for completing and submitting a Part A Permit Application (8700-23) using the form included in Section 8 of 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:
https://www.epa.gov/sites/production/files/2016-03/documents/contact02172016.pdf.
First Part A Submission
Both new and existing facilities that treat, store, or dispose of regulated hazardous waste are required to submit a RCRA Subtitle C Site Identification Form (8700-12) and Hazardous Waste Permit Form (Part A: 8700-23) in accordance with the deadlines set forth in the “WHEN SHOULD I FILE MY PERMIT APPLICATION?” portion of this section. Owners or operators of facilities that have not previously submitted a Part A Permit Application will need to submit a permit application for the first time. Examples of facilities making their first Part A submission are new facilities or existing facilities that become newly subject to the requirement to have a RCRA hazardous waste permit. This current section contains information and item-by-item instructions for completing the Hazardous Waste Permit Form (Part A).
Revised Part A Submission
There are several conditions under which a facility that has previously submitted a Part A Permit Application (8700-23) 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.
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 Form. 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. There are also item-by-item instructions for completing both the Site ID Form, Section 4, and the Hazardous Waste Permit Form (Part A), Section 8, of this booklet.
Determining If You Must File
Who Must File A RCRA Hazardous Waste Permit Application?
The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), as amended by the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984 (HSWA), 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 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:
https://www.epa.gov/sites/production/files/2016-03/documents/contact02172016.pdf.
How Do I Know If I Handle 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
Generators who treat, store, or dispose, on-site, their own solid wastes (as defined by 40 CFR 261.2), should employ the following procedures in determining if their solid wastes are hazardous wastes that are regulated by RCRA. This determination is made as follows:
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 lieu 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 Part A 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 Part A 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 262.14 - 17;
Farmers who dispose of hazardous waste pesticides from their own use as provided in 40 CFR 62.70; and
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 (8700-23) 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 is submitted by completing the two forms included in this booklet: the RCRA Subtitle C Site Identification Form (Site ID Form: 8700-12), found in Section 4 of this booklet, and the Hazardous Waste Permit Form (Part A), found in Section 8 of this booklet.
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 C F R 2 7 0. 1 4 t h r o u g h 2 7 0. 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 Part A 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?
All information submitted in this form will be subject to public disclosure, to the extent provided by the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. Section 552, and the EPA’s Business Confidentiality Regulations, 40 CFR Part 2 and 40 CFR 270.12. Claims of confidentiality for the name and address of any permit applicant or permittee will be denied. Persons filing this form may make claims of confidentiality for certain information. Such claims must be clearly indicated by submitting an attachment listing the specific information for which confidential treatment is requested at the time of filing. This attachment must include a written substantiation of the claim for confidentiality that answers the following questions:
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:
https://www.epa.gov/sites/production/files/2016-03/documents/contact02172016.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 (8700-23) no later than six months following the publication of regulations that subject the facility to the requirement to have a RCRA hazardous waste permit.
New Facilities
Under 40 CFR 270.10(f), new facilities must submit both Part A (8700-23) 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 (8700-23) 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.
Failure to furnish all information required to process a RCRA Hazardous Waste Permit Application is grounds for termination of interim status.
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.

Place an “X’ in the box that best describes the operator type for your site. Select only one type: Private, County, District, Federal, Tribal (see below), Municipal, State, or Other. If your site’s Operator Type could be described as Municipal and another Operator Type, such as County, District, or Tribal, do not place an “X” in Municipal. Instead, choose the other appropriate Operator Type. (For example, if your site’s Operator Type is both Municipal and County, you would place an “X” in the box for County.) You may explain this in Item 18 – Comments.
Tribal - A member of one of the tribes/entities on the list of Federally recognized American Indian tribes and Alaskan Native entities located at: http://www.epa.gov/tribal/whereyoulive/tribes-a-z.htm.
LEGAL Operator ADDRESS
Enter the address of the legal operator. If the address and the Location of Site (Item 4) are the same, you can check the “Same as Location Address” checkbox.
additional Operator information
Enter the address, e-mail, telephone number, extension, and fax number of the operator.
Use the Comments section to list any additional operators, their names, the dates they became operators, operator type, mailing address, and which operator(s), if any, are no longer operators since your last submission of this form. If necessary, attach a separate sheet of paper. Remember to enter your site’s EPA Identification Number in the top left-hand corner of each sheet.
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 (At Your Site)
This item has several changes to it as a result of the 2016 Hazardous Waste Generator Improvement Final Rule, the 2016 Hazardous Waste Export-Import Revisions Final Rule, and the 2015 Definition of Solid Waste Final Rule.
Mark box “Yes” or box “No” as appropriate for all current activities at this site (as of the date submitting the form); 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. In contrast, you must report all hazardous wastes generated and managed either on-site or off-site for the reporting year on the GM and WR forms. The Site ID form should reflect present-day activities while the GM and WR forms for previous generation and management (e.g., 2015, 2017 reporting year).

10.A Hazardous Waste Activities (complete all APPLICABLE parts 1 through 7)
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.
|
10.A.1. Generator of Hazardous Waste
If you generate a hazardous waste that is listed in 40 CFR 261.31 through 261.33 or identified by one or more hazardous waste characteristic(s) contained in 40 CFR 261.21 through 261.24, place an “X” in the appropriate box for the quantity of hazardous waste that is generated per calendar month. The regulations for hazardous waste generators are now found in Part 262—specifically 40 CFR 262.14 for very small quantity generators (VSQGs), 40 CFR 262.16 for small quantity generators (SQGs), and 40 CFR 262.17 for large quantity generators (LQGs). Consult these regulations and your State for details about how the regulations apply to your situation. Below is a brief description of the three types of hazardous waste generators.
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 report, the site is a Large Quantity Generator (LQG) if the site generates any of the following amounts in a calendar month:
Generates, in any calendar month, (including quantities imported by importer site) 1,000
kilograms (2,200 pounds) or more of non-acute RCRA hazardous waste; or
Generates, in a calendar month, more than 1 kilogram (2.2 pounds) of any RCRA acute
hazardous waste listed in sections 261.31 or 261.33(e); or
Generates, in any calendar month, more than 100 kilograms (220 pounds) of residue or
contaminated soil, waste, or other debris resulting from the cleanup of a spill, into or on any land or water, of any RCRA acute hazardous waste listed in sections 261.31 or 261.33(e).
NOTE
|
As discussed earlier, a RCRA LQG is a site that is neither a VSQG 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.6. Hazardous secondary material managed under 40 CFR 260.30, 40 CFR 261.4(a)(23), (24), or (27) 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 (SQG)
This site is a SQG if the site meets all of the following criteria:
Generates, in any calendar month, greater than 100 kilograms (220 pounds) but less than
1,000 kilograms (2,200 pounds) of non-acute hazardous waste; and
Generates, in any calendar month, less than or equal to 1 kilogram (2.2 pounds) of acute
hazardous waste listed in 261.31 or 261.33(e) of this chapter; and
Generates, in any calendar month, less than or equal to 100 kilograms (220 pounds) of any
residue or contaminated soil, water, or other debris resulting from the cleanup of a spill, into or on any land or water, of any acute hazardous waste listed in 261.31 or 261.33(e) of this chapter.
c. VSQG: Very Small Quantity Generator:
This site is a VSQG if the site meets all of the following criteria:
Generates in any calendar month, less than or equal to 100 kilograms (220 pounds) of
hazardous waste; and
Generates in any calendar month, less than or equal to 1 kilogram (2.2 pounds) of acute
hazardous wastes listed in sections 261.31, or 261.33(e); and
Generates in any calendar month, less than or equal to 100 kilograms (220 pounds) 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).
10.A.2. SHORT-TERM GENERATORS
Mark “Yes” if the site is normally not a generator of hazardous waste, but 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 are not considered episodic generators because episodic generators (i.e., VSQGs and SQGs) regularly generate hazardous waste as part of their operations, but bump up into a higher generator category as a result of a planned or unplanned event. 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 18 –Comments.
NOTE
|
A short-term generator may be able to take advantage of the Episodic Generator provisions of the new Hazardous Waste Generator Improvements final rule if they can complete their short-term event within sixty (60) days of starting the event, including removing all hazardous wastes generated as a result of the event.
|
10.A.3. Mixed Waste Generator
Mark “Yes” if you are a generator of mixed waste (waste that is both hazardous and radioactive). RCRA defines “mixed waste” as waste that contains both hazardous waste and source, special nuclear, or by-product material subject to the Atomic Energy Act (AEA), RCRA Section 1004(41), 42 U.S.C. 6903 (63 FR 17414; April 9, 1998). See the “DEFINITIONS” in Section 9.
10.A.4. Treater, Storer, or Disposer of Hazardous Waste
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.
Receives waste from off-site but does not store greater than 10 days before re-shipping (i.e., transfer facility).
NOTE
|
If your site is a destination facility for universal wastes in addition to being a TSDF for other RCRA hazardous wastes, mark “Yes” for both this box and Item 11.B.2.
|
10.A.5. ReceIves Hazardous Waste From Off-site
If you received hazardous waste from another site, whether this waste was received as a commercial transaction or waste received from a restricted group of off-site generators, mark “Yes.” Item 10.A.5 "Receives Hazardous Waste from Off-site" is not for transfer facilities. If you are a transfer facility receiving hazardous waste from off-site, you should mark item 11.A.1. b (Transfer Facility). Mark this box as “Y” if you are a facility, such as a commercial TSDF receiving hazardous waste from off-site, or are a recycler who receives hazardous waste but does not have a permit.
10.A.6. Recycler of Hazardous Waste
Mark “Yes” if you recycle regulated hazardous wastes (recyclable materials) at your site. If you mark “Yes”, then mark the subsequent box(es) that identifies whether you recycle regulated hazardous wastes (recyclable materials) at your site, with or without storage prior to recycling. There also may be a situation where you recycle some hazardous wastes without storing and other wastes after storage. If so, please mark both boxes. The Federal regulations for owners and operators of sites that recycle hazardous waste are found in 40 CFR 261.6. You also may be subject to other Federal and State regulations; in some cases, a permit is required.
If “Yes”, place an “X” in all that apply.
Recycler who stores prior to recycling.
Recycler who does not store prior to recycling.
NOTE
|
The 2016 Hazardous Waste Generator Improvements Final Rule requires that both facilities that do store prior to recycling and facilities that do not store prior to recycling (i.e., they do not have a RCRA Part B storage permit) submit a Hazardous Waste Report.
If your site, in addition to being a recycling site for hazardous waste, treats, stores, or disposes of hazardous waste, mark “Yes” for both this box and Item 10.A.4. If your site is a destination facility for universal wastes in addition to being a recycling site for other RCRA hazardous wastes, mark “Yes” for both this box and Item 11.B.2.
|
10.A.7. Exempt Boiler and/or Industrial Furnace
If “Yes”, place an “X” in all that apply.
Small Quantity On-Site Burner Exemption

You process hazardous wastes in a smelting, melting, or refining furnace solely for metals recovery, as described in 40 CFR 266.100(d), or to recover economically significant amounts of precious metals, as described in 40 CFR 266.100(g), or if you process hazardous wastes in a lead recovery furnace to recover lead, as described in 40 CFR 266.100(h), place an “X’ in the box to indicate that you qualify for the Smelting, Melting, and Refining Furnace Exemption.
10.b. Waste Codes for Federally Regulated Hazardous Wastes
Please list the waste codes of the Federal hazardous wastes (described in 40 CFR Part 261) handled at your site. List them in the order they are presented in the regulations using the appropriate 4-digit code(s) (e.g., D001, D003, F007, U112).
NOTE
|
If you handle more hazardous wastes than will fit under Item 10.B, please continue under Item 18 – Comments or on an extra sheet. Remember to include your EPA Identification Number on the top of each page. If you handle a large number of codes, you may copy the list in this booklet and mark the ones that you handle. Attach any additional sheets to the Site ID Form. Remember to include your EPA Identification Number on the top of each page.
|
10.c. Waste Codes for State-Regulated (non-Federal) Hazardous Wastes
If you manage State-regulated hazardous wastes that have a State waste code, enter the appropriate code(s) in the box(es) provided. Please list the waste codes of the State-regulated hazardous wastes handled at your site in the order they are presented in the regulations.

Item 12 – Eligible Academic Entities With Laboratories
Note: Fill out Box A ONLY if you are at least one of the following: a college or university; a teaching hospital that is owned by or has a formal written affiliation agreement with a college or university; or a non-profit research institute that is owned by or has a formal written affiliation agreement with a college or university; AND you have checked with your State to determine if 40 CFR Part 262, Subpart K is effective in your State and for any State-specific requirements. See EPA’s website for more information about these regulations.http://www2.epa.gov/hwgenerators/regulations-hazardous-waste-generated-academic-laboratories
Subpart K is an optional alternative set of requirements for eligible academic entities with laboratories. Certain generators (i.e., eligible academic entities defined under (1) below) are eligible to operate under Subpart K for management of their hazardous wastes in laboratories in lieu of 40 CFR 262.15 (or 40 CFR 262.14 for VSQGs). Eligible academic entities with laboratories that generate hazardous waste that elect to opt into Subpart K, are currently operating under Subpart K, or subsequently withdraw from Subpart K must complete this section to meet the notification requirements of this Subpart. Refer to 40 CFR 262.203 and 40 CFR 262.204.
NOTE
|
Eligible academic entities with laboratories must complete a separate Site ID Form for each site (i.e., EPA Identification Number) that is managing hazardous waste under Subpart K. All laboratories with the same EPA Identification Number will be regulated under this Subpart. If eligible academic entities with laboratories withdraw from Subpart K, all laboratories with the same EPA Identification Number associated with the withdrawal from Subpart K will be regulated under 40 CFR 262.15 (or 40 CFR 262.14 for VSQGs).
|
12.A Opting Into or Currently Operating Under 40 CFR 262, Subpart K for the Management of Hazardous Wastes in Laboratories
Mark “Yes” for this box if you are an eligible academic entity and you elect to opt into or are currently operating under 40 CFR Part 262, Subpart K for the hazardous wastes generated in your laboratories. If you mark “Yes” for this box, you must place an “X” in at least one of the following to indicate your type of eligible academic entity. Place an “X” in all that apply:
College or University
You are an eligible college or university if you are a private or public, post-secondary, degree-granting, academic institution, that is accredited by an accrediting agency listed annually by the U.S. Department of Education.
Teaching Hospital that is owned by or has a formal written affiliation agreement with a college or university
You are an eligible teaching hospital if you are a hospital that trains students to become physicians, nurses, or other health personnel and is either: (1) owned by a college or university, or (2) has a master affiliation agreement and program letter of agreement, as defined by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education, with an accredited medical program or medical school.
Non-profit Institute that is owned by or has a formal written affiliation agreement with a college or university
You are an eligible non-profit institute if you are an organization that conducts research as its primary function and files as a non-profit organization under the tax code of 26 U.S.C. 501(c)(3) and is either: (1) owned by a college or university, or (2) has a formal written affiliation agreement with a college or university that establishes a relationship between institutions for the purposes of research and/or education and is signed by authorized representatives from each institution. A relationship on a project-by-project or grant-by-grant basis is not considered a formal written affiliation agreement.
12.B Withdrawing from 40 CFR 262, Subpart K for the Management of Hazardous Wastes in Laboratories
Mark “Yes” for this box if you have previously elected to opt into 40 CFR Part 262, Subpart K and are now withdrawing from participation in this optional set of alternative requirements for hazardous waste generation in laboratories. Withdrawing generators will automatically revert to regulation under 40 CFR 262.15 requirements (or 40 CFR 262.14 for VSQGs). If marking “Yes” for this box, please include comments in Item 18 – Comments that explain your reasons for withdrawing from Subpart K.
Item 13 – Episodic Generation
Mark “Yes” if you are a VSQG or SQG notifying that you are taking advantage of the episodic generator event provision at 40 CFR 262.232. This provision allows a VSQG or an SQG to generate additional quantities of hazardous waste— temporarily exceeding its normal generator category limits— and still maintain its existing generator category, provided it complies with the specified conditions identified at 40 CFR 262.232 (a) and (b).
The generator is allowed to use this provision once per calendar year with the ability to petition for a second event. However, if the first event is planned, the petition must be for a second event that is unplanned, or vice-versa. We recommend you review the regulation at 40 CFR 262.233 to understand what is required of a generator should you choose to take advantage of this petition process.
Although not inclusive, examples of planned episodic events include tank cleanouts, short-term construction projects, short-term site remediation, equipment maintenance during plant shutdowns, removal of excess chemical inventories, and site and production process decommissions by a new operator. Unplanned episodic events, which EPA expects would be less frequent, include production process upsets, product recalls, accidental spills, or “acts of nature,” such as a tornado, hurricane, or flood. If you are taking advantage of this provision, you must complete the Addendum for Episodic Generation found at the end of this form. Information to be completed includes:
the type of episodic event (i.e., planned or unplanned),
the name and telephone number of an emergency contact at the site,
the beginning or start date of the episodic event, and expected completion date (no later than 60 days from beginning date),
the reason for the episodic event (event description),
identification of the applicable federal waste codes (and state waste codes, if applicable), and
the estimated total quantity of hazardous wastes that will be generated as a result of the episodic event.
Please note that VSQGs and SQGs that desire to take advantage of an additional episodic event must petition EPA or their authorized state. There is no specific form to complete. We recommend you review the regulation at 40 CFR 262.233 to understand what is required of a generator should you choose to take advantage of this petition process.
NOTE
|
If you mark “Yes,” you must fill out the Addendum to the Site ID Form: Episodic Generator. See instructions for this Addendum after Item 19.
|
Item 14 – LQG Consolidation of VSQG Hazardous Waste
The 2016 Hazardous Waste Generator Improvements Final Rule, LQGs may receive and consolidate hazardous wastes from VSQGs if the VSQGs are under the control of the same “person” as defined in 40 CFR 260.10.
Note: “Control,” for the purposes of this section, means the power to direct the policies of the generator, whether by the ownership of stock, voting rights, or otherwise. Except that contractors who operate generator facilities on behalf of a different person as defined in § 260.10 of this chapter shall not be deemed to “control” such generators.
If you are an LQG taking advantage of this provision found at 40 CFR 262.17 (f), you must notify (or re-notify) EPA or your authorized state. Check the box for “yes” and complete the Addendum for LQG Consolidation of VSQG Hazardous Wastes found at the end of this form. Information to be completed for each VSQG you are receiving hazardous waste from includes EPA Identification number (if applicable), the site name, address, contact name and telephone number.
Also, the LQG must complete a GM form for each type of hazardous waste it receives from VSQGs and identify the source code as G51 – Hazardous wastes received from VSQGs under the control of the same person.
NOTE
|
If you mark “Yes,” you must fill out the Addendum to the Site ID Form: LQG Consolidation of VSQG Hazardous Waste. See instructions for this Addendum after Item 19.

B. Mark “Yes” if you are submitting a legitimate recycling notification under 40 CFR 260.43(a)(4)(iii). Recycling of hazardous secondary materials for the purpose of the exclusions or exemptions from hazardous waste regulations must be legitimate. You must notify EPA if the product of your recycling process has levels of hazardous constituents that are not comparable to a legitimate product or intermediate, but the recycling is still legitimate. The recycling can be shown to be legitimate based on lack of exposure from toxics in the product, lack of the bioavailability of the toxics in the product, or other relevant considerations which show that the recycled product does not contain levels of hazardous constituents that pose a significant human health or environmental risk. Documentation of legitimacy must be maintained onsite for three years. Provide additional information regarding your recycling in Item 18 (Comments).
Mark “No” if you are not notifying under this provision. Notification is not required if the product of the recycling process is comparable to a legitimate product or intermediate per 40 CFR 260.43(a)(4)(i) or (ii).
Item 17 – Electronic Manifest Broker
Mark “Yes” if you a person as defined in title 40 CFR §260.10 that elects to use the electronic manifest system to obtain, complete and transmit an electronic manifest format supplied by the EPA electronic manifest system under a contractual relationship with a hazardous waste generator.
Mark “No” if you are not an Electronic Manifest Broker.
Item 18 – Comments
Use this section as needed to provide additional information for Items 1 through 17. Include the item number and box letter (if any) for each comment you make. You may attach additional sheets if needed. Remember to include your EPA Identification Number on the top of each page.
Item 19 – Certification
This certification must be signed and dated by the generator(s), owner(s), operator(s), or authorized representative(s) of the site. See 40 CFR 270.11 for more information on signatories in general. An “authorized representative” is a person responsible for the overall operation of the site or an operational unit (i.e., a plant manager or superintendent, or a person of equivalent responsibility). To qualify as an “authorized representative,” generator, owner, operator, or responsible official must submit a written authorization to the Director in an authorized state or the EPA Regional Director in non-authorized states.
NOTE

Addendum to the Site Id Form:
Notification of Hazardous
Secondary Material (HSM) Activity
You Must Fill Out this Section if:
You are located in a State that allows you to manage excluded hazardous secondary material under 40 CFR 260.30, 40 CFR 261.4(a)(23), (24), or (27), (or state equivalent) AND
You are or will be managing excluded HSM in compliance with 40 CFR 260.30, 261.4(a)(23), (24), or (27) (or state equivalent) or have stopped managing excluded HSM in compliance with the exclusion(s) and do not expect to manage any amount of excluded HSM under the exclusion(s) for at least one year. Do not include any information regarding your hazardous waste activities in this section. Note: If your facility was granted a solid waste variance under 40 CFR 260.30 prior to July 13, 2015, your management of HSM under 40 CFR 260.30 is grandfathered under the previous regulations and you are not required to notify for the HSM management activity excluded under 40 CFR 260.30. See EPA’s website for more information about these regulations: https://www.epa.gov/hwgenerators/final-rule-2015-definition-solid-waste-dsw
Complete all Items 1 and 2.
NOTE
|
You must be managing excluded hazardous secondary material in compliance with 40 CFR 260.30, 40 CFR 261.4(a)(23), (24), or (27) (or State equivalent). Do not include any information regarding your hazardous wastes in this section. See 80 FR 1694 or https://www.epa.gov/hwgenerators/final-rule-2015-definition-solid-waste-dsw for more information on these exclusions.
You must submit a completed Site ID Form, including this Addendum, prior to operating under the exclusion(s) and by March 1 of each even-numbered year thereafter to your regulatory authority using the Site ID Form as pursuant to 40 CFR 260.42. Persons who must satisfy this notification requirement can submit this information at the same time as their Hazardous Waste Report (which is also due by March 1 of each even-numbered year).
If you stop managing hazardous secondary material in accordance with the exclusion(s) and do not expect to manage any amount of hazardous secondary material under the exclusion(s) for at least one year, you must also submit a completed Site ID Form, including this Addendum, within thirty (30) days pursuant to 40 CFR 260.42.
Remember to include your EPA Identification Number on the top of each page.

Item 1 – 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 260.30, 40 CFR 261.4(a)(23), (24), or (27).
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).
Facilities must re-notify by March 1st of each even-numbered year.
If placing an “X” in this box, you do not have to list a date.
NOTE
|
You must have previously notified that you began managing hazardous secondary material in order to check this box.
|
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 40 CFR 264.143; or (4) you temporarily suspend management of hazardous secondary material for at least one year.
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” in Section 9 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 260.30, 40 CFR 261.4(a)(23), (24), or (27).
NOTE
|
If you list more codes or manage more hazardous secondary material than will fit in the table under Item 2, please continue on the Site Identification Form under Item 18 – 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.
|
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, 2018, enter the amount you actually managed during 2017 (i.e., the tonnage you managed from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017). 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” in Section 9 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 18 – 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 261.4(a)(23) and 261.4(a)(24) by sending some amount to a reclaimer within its own company and the rest off-site to a recycling 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:

Instructions For Filling Out The Waste Generation And Management (GM) Form
Who Must Submit This Form?
A site required to file the 2017 Hazardous Waste Report must submit a GM Form if the site generated RCRA hazardous waste that, in 2017, 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 the GM Form. See “WASTES NOT TO BE REPORTED,” below, for any exclusions or exemptions from the GM Form reporting requirements under the 2017 Hazardous Waste Report.)
Purpose of this Form
The GM Form is for reporting on-site hazardous waste generation and management and off-site shipment in 2017. The GM Form 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 the GM Form for each generated RCRA hazardous waste that should be reported, consistent with the criteria discussed below. Prior to photocopying, enter your EPA Identification Number in the top left-hand corner of the form.
Use the Comments Item 4 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 item number and item letter to which the comment refers.
NOTE
|
Please review your previous cycle’s GM source, form, and management method codes to see if they are still applicable. If applicable, use those same codes for consistency.
Refer to the “SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS” in Section 9 of this booklet for reporting lab packs, asbestos, PCBs, waste oils, groundwater contaminated by hazardous waste, RCRA-radioactive mixed wastes, and laboratory clean-out 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 the GM Form. (See “WASTES NOT TO BE REPORTED,” below, for any exclusions or exemptions from the GM Form reporting requirements under the 2017 Hazardous Waste Report.
A GM Form 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 2017; or
Generated and accumulated on-site in 2017 but not managed on-site or shipped off-site until after 2017; or
Generated and accumulated on-site prior to 2017 but either managed on-site or shipped off-site in 2017; or
Received by an LQG from one or more VSQGs under the control of the same person for purposes of consolidation; or
Imported from a site located in a foreign country in 2017. Refer to 40 CFR 262.10(e) and 40 CFR 262.60(a) for additional information.
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 for treating, recycling, or disposing on-site or for off-site shipment.
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 [WR Form]) 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 ID Form in Item 10.A.3. See the “DEFINITIONS” and “SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS” in Section 9 of this booklet for information on this waste.
Hazardous wastes regulated only by your State should be reported if required by your State.
Wastes Not To Be Reported
Materials and wastes identified at 261.4(a) and (b), 262.13 (c) and 266.70 should not be reported on the GM Form. 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. Section 266.70 identifies recyclable materials utilized for precious metal recovery.
Following are the materials and wastes addressed under 40 CFR 261.4(a) and (b), 262.13 (c), and 266.70, which should not be reported on the GM Form:
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 toxicity characteristic (waste codes D018 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 262.13 (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 262.13 (c)(1))
Sample(s) undergoing treatability studies, as specified in 261.4(e). (40 CFR 262.13 (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 262.13 (c) (2)). Any hazardous waste residues generated from these units, however, must be reported on the GM Form.
Wastes recycled, without prior storage, only in an on-site process subject to regulation under 40 CFR 261.6(c)(2) and (40 CFR 262.13 (c) (3)). Any hazardous waste residues generated from these units, however, must be reported on the GM Form.
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 262.13 (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 262.13 (c)(5)) Any hazardous wastes generated during battery reclamation, however, must be reported on the GM Form.
Universal wastes managed under 40 CFR 261.9, 40 CFR Part 273, and (40 CFR 262.13 (c)(6)). Any hazardous waste residues generated from these units, however, must be reported on the GM Form.

Unless required by your State, hazardous wastes that were, during 2017, exported directly out of the U.S. to a site located in foreign country. Facilities that export hazardous waste must file a separate Annual Report under 40 CFR 262.83(g). (This Annual Report will be in addition to the Hazardous Waste Report, if your State requires you to submit a Hazardous Waste Report with hazardous waste exported to a site located in a foreign country.)
How To Report Similar Hazardous Waste On The GM Form
Generally, a GM form should be completed for each generated RCRA hazardous waste. A separate GM form should be completed whenever a combination of wastes would require more than one Source Code or Form Code. Contact your state about combining similar hazardous wastes on the GM form.

Item 2 – On-site Generation and Management of Hazardous Waste During 2017
Answering “Yes” or “No” to this question is mandatory. If you answer “Yes,” for each on-site RCRA-regulated management system, you must report the management method and quantity treated, disposed, or recycled on-site during 2017.
Was Any Of This Waste That Was Generated At This Facility Treated, Disposed, And/Or Recycled On-Site?
Mark “Yes” or “No” to this question to indicate if the site did any of the following to the waste reported in Item 1.A: treat on-site; dispose on-site; recycle on-site. If you marked “Yes,” complete the blocks for On-site Process Systems below. If you marked “No,” skip to Item 3.
Example 1
Facility A generates spent solvents that it recycles on-site in a distillation column. This facility would mark “Yes” in Item 2 and would fill out the on-site process system box accordingly.
Example 2
Facility B receives spent solvents from off-site and blends the solvents into fuel. The facility then sends the fuels off-site to be burned for energy recovery. Facility B would report on its GM Form the new waste generated in Item 1.D as Source Code G25 (Treatment, disposal, or recycling of hazardous wastes) with the management method code of H061 (Fuel Blending). Facility B would mark “No” in Item 2 because it did not manage any of the newly generated fuels on-site. This facility would report the off-site shipment in Item 3 and would report the Management Method Code H050 (Energy Recovery).
On-Site Management Method Code
Classify the process system (see definition) with a Management Method Code that best identifies the last substantive purpose/operation performed at your site. Space is provided to report up to two different (non-sequential) Management Methods. If you did not use a second on-site process system to manage the waste, leave the Management Method Code under On-site Process System 2 blank. Do not report H141 in Item 2.
LIST
|
For a list of Management Method Codes, see the “OTHER REFERENCE INFORMATION AND CODE LISTS” in Section 9 of this booklet.
|
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 2017. Use the second on-site process system only when:
A waste is managed in one process system for a 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).
Example of Non-Sequential (Parallel) Processes
A firm generated 100 tons of F002 solvent waste in 2017. 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 H020 (Distillation) and a quantity of 80 tons. Under On-site Process System 2, the site enters the Management Method Code H050 (Energy Recovery) and a quantity of 20 tons. The 5 tons of still bottoms should be reported on a separate GM Form.
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 the GM Form with the EPA Identification number and Site Name. Leave all the other fields blank, except Item 2 for on-site process systems. Note in the Comments Item 4 of each page: “Item 2, On-site Process System Type continued on supplemental page.” (Refer to instructions on “PAGE NUMBERING OF FORMS” for information on 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 GM Form); or
To report treatment in a series of process units (see definition in the “OTHER REFERENCE INFORMATION AND CODE LISTS” Section 9 of this booklet). Report only process systems, not process units.
Example of Sequential Processes
A firm generated 100 tons of D002 and D007 plating waste in 2017. 100 tons were neutralized, stored on-site, and then chemically batch-treated to remove the D007 (Chromium). 90 tons of wastewater and 10 tons of D007 and F006 sludge were shipped off-site for eventual disposal. Under On-site Process System 1, the site enters the last substantive on-site Management Method Code H070 (Chemical Treatment) and a quantity of 100 tons. The site reports the residual 10 tons of sludge on a separate GM Form with Item 1.D Management Method Code H070 (Chemical Treatment). (If there was no storage and the wastewater had been allowed to go into the POTW or NPDES, this page would not be reported, only the D007 and F006 sludge – with a source code of G23.)
Quantity Treated, Disposed, or Recycled On-site in 2017
Enter the quantity of hazardous waste described in Item 1 that was treated, disposed, or recycled by the reported on-site process management method during 2017. Enter the quantity in the same unit of measure reported in Item 1. F (Quantity Generated in 2017).
Item 3 – Off-site Shipment of Hazardous Waste
This item requests information on the off-site shipment of hazardous waste. Answering “Yes” or “No” to this question is mandatory. If you answer “Yes,” all items in this item are mandatory. Do report shipments of previously generated hazardous wastes stored until 2017. Do report waste shipped via transfer facility, however, do not list on a GM Form a less-than-10-day transfer facility where waste storage is incidental to transportation. Do not report shipments of de-characterized wastes.
Space is provided to report shipments of the waste to three different off-site facilities. If the waste you reported in Item 1 was shipped to more than three off-site facilities during 2017, you need not complete the entire form again. Simply attach a second copy of the GM Form, leaving blank all entries except Items 3.B, 3.C, and 3.D. Note in the Comments section of each page: “Item 3.B continued on supplemental page.” (Refer to instructions on “PAGE NUMBERING OF FORMS” for information on supplemental pages.)
3.A – Was any of this Waste Shipped Off-site in 2017 for Treatment, Disposal, or Recycling?
Mark “Yes” or “No” to indicate if any of the waste described in Item 1 was shipped off-site for treatment, disposal, or recycling during 2017.
|
This GM Form is complete if you marked “No” in Item A. Continue to Item 3.B if you marked “Yes” in Item A.
|
3.B – EPA ID Number of Facility to which Waste Was Shipped
This is the 12-digit EPA Identification Number of the facility to which the waste was shipped. If your State requires you to submit a Hazardous Waste Report for hazardous waste exported to a site located in a foreign country, facilities that export hazardous waste should list in Item B a Foreign Site Identification Number listed in the Codes Description section or in the lookup table in RCRAInfo. If a site located in a foreign country to which hazardous waste is shipped is not on the list or lookup table, enter “FC” followed by the name of the country as the EPA Identification Number or add the new handler or update the old one (e.g., when there is a name change) in the lookup table in RCRAInfo. Please also see the “SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS” section for WASTES SHIPPED TO FOREIGN COUNTRIES.
Generators are to report in item 3.B the EPA ID number for the designated TSDF that signed the manifest, which can be found in Item 8 of the manifest form. Do not list on a GM Form a less-than-10-day transfer facility where waste storage is incidental to transportation. All transporters used should be listed on the OI Form if your state requires that form to be submitted.
3.C – Off-site Management Method Code Shipped To
Review the Management Method Codes in the “OTHER REFERENCE INFORMATION AND CODE LISTS” section of this booklet. Enter the Management Method Code that best describes the way in which the waste was managed at the initial receiving facility reported in Item 3.B. This should be listed on the manifest in Item 19 or in documentation that the TSDF may have provided.
Receiving facilities with Part B permits whose only management type is storage and transfer may be a designated TSDF on a manifest and these should be listed in GM Form Item 3 with a management method code of H141. Permitted storage facilities that report management method code H141 on their WR Form should report shipment of this transferred waste on a GM Form with a Source Code of G61.
LIST |
For a list of Management Method Codes, see the “OTHER REFERENCE INFORMATION AND CODE LISTS” Section 9 of this booklet.
|
3.D – Total Quantity Shipped in 2017
Enter the total quantity of the waste shipped to the off-site facility during 2017. Report the quantity in the same unit of measure entered in Item 1.F. Shipment quantities should equal the total quantity recorded on Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifests for this site during 2017, unless there were rejections or other complications. The quantity shipped may not necessarily equal the quantity generated (e.g., because some waste is still on-site at the end of the year or waste was removed from storage from a previous year’s generation).
Item 4 - Comments
Use this Item as needed to explain anything contained in the form including any waste minimization efforts. The comments may help make determinations of data validity if questions arise during the review of the report. If there are special circumstances surrounding the waste described on the form, please note this here, especially if you are filing the report due to a one-time event.
SECTION 6
Waste Received From Off-Site (WR) Form (8700-23 A/B)
Instructions For Filling Out The Waste Received From Off-Site Form (WR Form)
Who Must Submit This FORM?
A site required to file the 2017 Hazardous Waste Report must submit this form if, during 2017, it received RCRA hazardous waste from off-site. As a result of the 2016 Hazardous Waste Generator Improvements Final Rule, facilities that receive and recycle regulated hazardous wastes without first storing must complete a WR form for each type of hazardous waste they receive.
Purpose of This Form
The WR Form identifies hazardous wastes that were received from other hazardous waste sites and the method(s) used to manage them. The WR Form 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 2017 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 2017, photocopy and fill out additional copies of this form. Prior to photocopying, write your EPA Identification Number in the top left-hand corner of the form.
Use the Comments Item 4 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 Item 4, cross-reference the waste block and item letter to which the comment refers.
Item-By-Item Instructions

Item 8 – Map
Provide a topographic map or maps of the area extending to a least one mile beyond the property boundaries of the facility. The map must clearly show the following:
The legal boundaries of the facility;
The location and serial number of each of your existing and proposed intake and discharge structures;
All hazardous waste management facilities;
Location of all processes listed in Items 6 identified by process code;
Each well where you inject fluids underground; and
All springs and surface water bodies in the area, plus all drinking water wells within ¼ mile of the facility which are identified in the public record or otherwise known to you.
If an intake or discharge structure, hazardous waste disposal site, or injection well associated with the facility is located more than one mile from the plant, include it on the map, if possible. If not, attach additional sheets describing the location of the structure, disposal site, or well, and identify the U.S. Geological Survey (or other) maps corresponding to the location. Remember to include your EPA Identification Number and Site Name in the upper left-hand corner of each attached page.
On each map, include the map scale, a meridian arrow showing north, and latitude and longitude at the nearest whole second. On all maps of rivers, show the direction of the current, and in tidal waters, show the directions of the ebb and flow tides. Use a 7-1/2 minute series map published by the U.S. Geological Survey. If a 7-1/2 minute series map has not been published for your facility site, then you may use a 15-minute series map from the U.S. Geological Survey. If neither a 7-1/2 nor 15-minute series map has been published for your facility site, use a plant map or other appropriate map, and include all the requested information; in this case, briefly describe land uses in the map area (e.g., residential, commercial).
For information about obtaining maps, contact the U.S. Geological Survey at (888) 275-8747 or see the U.S. Geological Survey web site at http://www.usgs.gov/pubprod.
You may trace your map from a geological survey chart, or other map meeting the above specifications. If you do, your map should bear a note showing the number or title of the map or chart from which it was traced. Include the names of nearby towns, water bodies, and other prominent points.
Item 9 – Facility Drawing
All existing facilities must include a drawing showing the general layout of the facility. This drawing should be approximately to scale and fit on an 8 ½” x 11” sheet of paper. The drawing should show the following:
The property boundaries of the facility;
The areas occupied by all storage, treatment, or disposal operations that will be used during interim status;
The name of each operation (e.g., multiple hearth incinerator, drum storage area, etc.);
Areas of past storage, treatment, or disposal operations;
Areas of future storage, treatment, or disposal operations; and
The approximate dimensions of the property boundaries and all storage, treatment, and disposal areas. (Where applicable, use the process codes listed in Items 6 to indicate the location of all storage, treatment, and disposal areas.)

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 262.16 and 17.
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 262.14 (a)(1) and 262.14 (a)(3)).
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.
By-product Material – A by-product material is: (1) any radioactive material (except special nuclear material) yielded in or made radioactive by exposure to the radiation incident to the process of producing or utilizing special nuclear material; and (2) the tailings or wastes produced by the extraction or concentration of uranium or thorium from any ore processed primarily for its source material content (defined in the Atomic Energy Act of 1954).
CCA – Central Accumulation Area
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) – Codification of the general and permanent rules published in the Federal Register by the Executive departments and agencies of the Federal Government. The Code is divided into 50 titles which represent broad areas subject to Federal regulation. Each title is divided into chapters that usually bear the name of the issuing agency. Each chapter is further subdivided into parts covering specific regulatory areas. The CFR title applicable for the Hazardous Waste Report is “40,” as in “40 CFR 262.10 ”.
Confidential Business Information (CBI) – Information a facility does not wish to make available to the general public for competitive business reasons. Confidential Business Information (CBI) may be claimed for certain information in your submittal. A claim may be made in accordance with 40 CFR Part 2, Subpart B.
Delisted Waste – Site-specific wastes excluded from regulation under 40 CFR 260.20 and 260.22. A waste at a particular generating site may be excluded by petitioning the EPA Administrator for a regulatory amendment. These wastes are listed in Appendix IX of 40 CFR Part 261.
Disposal – The discharge, deposit, injection, dumping, spilling, leaking, or placing of any solid waste or hazardous waste into or on any land or water so that such solid waste or hazardous waste or any constituent thereof may enter the environment or be emitted into the air or discharged into any waters, including groundwaters.
Electronic manifest broker – A person as defined in title 40 CFR §260.10 that elects to use the electronic manifest system to obtain, complete and transmit an electronic manifest format supplied by the EPA electronic manifest system under a contractual relationship with a hazardous waste generator.
Eligible Academic Entity – A college or university, or a non-profit research institute that is owned by or has a formal written affiliation with a college or university, or a teaching hospital that is owned by or has a formal written affiliation with a college or university pursuant to 40 CFR Part 262, Subpart K (See 40 CFR 262.200).
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) – The EPA, also called U.S. EPA, means the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Some State environmental authorities may be called the EPA also, as in “Illinois EPA.”
EPA Identification (ID) Number – The number assigned by the EPA to each hazardous waste generator, hazardous waste transporter, and treatment, storage, or disposal facility; U.S. importer of hazardous waste; U.S. recognized trader arranging for import or export of hazardous waste, including those hazardous wastes managed under the alternate standards of 40 CFR Part 266 or the universal waste standards of 40 CFR Part 273; U.S. exporter or importer of spent lead-acid batteries for recycling; mixed waste (hazardous and radioactive) generator; recycler of hazardous waste; exempt boiler and/or industrial furnace burning or processing hazardous waste; large quantity handler of or destination facility for universal wastes; disposer of hazardous waste with an underground injection permit; used oil transporter, used oil processor/re-refiner, off-specification used oil fuel burner, used oil fuel marketer; eligible academic entity managing laboratory hazardous waste under Subpart K; or site undergoing corrective action. Additionally, facilities that must notify using the Site Identification Form and Addendum to the Site Identification Form that they are managing hazardous secondary material will also be assigned an EPA Identification Number.
Episodic Generator – An episodic generator is either a VSQG or an SQG who, as a result of a planned or
unplanned episodic event, generates a quantity of hazardous waste in a calendar month sufficient to cause the facility to move into a more stringent generator category (i.e., VSQG to either an SQG or an LQG; or an SQG to an LQG). As part of the 2016 Hazardous Waste Generator Improvements Final Rule, this new provision allows a VSQG or an SQG to generate additional quantities of hazardous waste—exceeding its normal generator category limits temporarily— and still maintain its existing generator category, provided it complies with the specified conditions identified at 40 CFR 262.232 (a) and (b) for VSQGs and SQGs, respectively. Because these events are considered to be temporary and episodic in nature, the hazardous waste generator may only use this provision once every calendar year, unless there is a second event for which the generator receives approval from petitioning EPA or their authorized state to manage as an additional episodic event. Note that a second episodic event must be different than the first event; i.e., if the first event is a planned event, the second event must be unplanned and vice-versa.
Although not inclusive, examples of planned episodic events include tank cleanouts, short-term site remediation, equipment maintenance during plant shutdowns, and periodic removal of excess chemical inventories. Unplanned episodic events, which EPA expects would be less frequent, include production process upsets, product recalls, accidental spills, or “acts of nature,” such as a tornado, hurricane, or flood.
Excluded Wastes – Wastes excluded from the definition of solid or hazardous waste under 40 CFR 261.3 and 261.4. For a partial listing, see the “EXCLUDED WASTES” section of this booklet.
GM Form – Waste Generation and Management Form.
Hazardous Waste – A hazardous waste as defined in 40 CFR 261.3.
Hazardous Secondary Material (HSM) – A secondary material (e.g., spent material, by-product, or sludge) that, when discarded, would be identified as hazardous waste under 40 CFR Part 261. Facilities managing hazardous secondary material under 40 CFR 260.30, 40 CFR 261.4(a)(23), (24), or (27) must complete the Addendum to the Site Identification Form: Notification for Managing Hazardous Secondary Material. You must check with your State to determine if you are eligible to manage hazardous secondary material under these exclusions (see also
https://www.epa.gov/hwgenerators/final-rule-2015-definition-solid-waste-dsw.
Hazardous Waste Generator – Any person, by site, whose act or process produces hazardous waste identified or listed in 40 CFR Part 261.
Hazardous Waste Number or Code, EPA – The number (or code) assigned by the EPA to each hazardous waste listed in 40 CFR Part 261, Subpart D and to each characteristic identified in 40 CFR Part 261, Subpart C. The codes consist of one letter (D, F, P, U, or K) and three numbers. For a list of EPA hazardous waste codes, see the “EPA HAZARDOUS WASTE CODES” section of this booklet.
Hazardous Waste Number or Code, State – The number (or code) assigned by the State to each hazardous waste listed in the State regulations. Obtain a list of the States waste codes from your State.
Hazardous Waste Storage – The holding of hazardous waste for a temporary period, at the end of which the hazardous waste is treated, disposed of, or stored elsewhere.
Hazardous Waste Transfer Facility – Refer to “Transfer Facility” definition.
Hazardous Waste Transporter – Refer to “Transporter” definition.
Hazardous Waste Treatment – Any method, technique, or process, including neutralization, designed to change the physical, chemical, or biological character or composition of any hazardous waste so as to neutralize such hazardous waste, or so as to recover energy or material resources from the hazardous waste, or so as to render such hazardous waste nonhazardous, or less hazardous; safer to transport, store, or dispose of; or amenable for recovery, amenable for storage, or reduced in volume. Such term includes any activity or processing designed to change the physical form or composition of hazardous waste so as to render it nonhazardous.
Incineration – Burning of certain types of solid, liquid, or gaseous materials; or a treatment technology involving destruction of waste by controlled burning at high temperatures (e.g., burning sludge to remove the water and reduce the remaining residues to a safe, non-burnable ash that can be disposed safely on land, in some waters, or in underground locations).
Industrial Furnace – Any of the following enclosed devices that are integral components of manufacturing processes and that use thermal treatment to accomplish recovery of materials or energy: cement kilns; lime kilns; aggregate kilns; phosphate kilns; coke ovens; blast furnaces; smelting, melting, and refining furnaces; titanium dioxide chloride process oxidation reactors; methane reforming furnaces; pulping liquor recovery furnaces; combustion devices used in the recovery of sulfur values from spent sulfuric acid; halogen acid furnaces, as defined under industrial furnace in 40 CFR 260.10; and such other devices as the Administrator may add to this list.
Interim (Permit) Status – Period during which the owner/operator of an existing TSD facility is treated as having been issued a RCRA permit even though he/she has not yet received a final determination. An existing facility should have automatically qualified for interim status if the owner/operator filed both timely “notification” and the first part (Part A) of the RCRA permit application. Interim status continues until a final determination is made to issue or deny the permit. Owner/operator of new facilities cannot by definition qualify for interim status; rather, they need a RCRA permit prior to beginning construction of a hazardous waste management facility.
Large Quantity Generator (LQG) of Hazardous Waste – is a generator who generates any of the following amounts in a calendar month:
(i) Generates, in any calendar month, (including quantities imported by importer site) 1,000 kilograms (kg) (2,200 pounds (lbs)) or more of non-acute RCRA hazardous waste; or
(ii) Generates, in a calendar month, or accumulates at any time, more than 1 kg (2.2 lbs) of
any RCRA acute hazardous waste listed in sections 261.31 or 261.33(e); or
(iii) Generates, in any calendar month, or accumulates at any time, more than 100 kg (220 lbs) of residue or contaminated soil, waste, or other debris resulting from the cleanup of a spill, into or on any land or water, of any RCRA acute hazardous waste listed in sections 261.31 or 261.33(e).
Large Quantity Handler of Universal Waste (LQHUW) – A universal waste handler (as defined in 40 CFR 273.9) who accumulates 5,000 kilograms (kg) or more total of universal wastes (batteries, pesticides, mercury-containing equipment, or lamps – calculated collectively) at any time. This designation is retained through the end of the calendar year in which the 5,000 kg limit is met or exceeded.
Management, or Hazardous Waste Management – Systematic control of the collection, source separation, storage, transportation, processing, treatment, recovery, or disposal of hazardous waste (40 CFR 260.10).
Manifest, Uniform Hazardous Waste – The shipment document EPA Form 8700-22 and, if necessary, Form 8700-22A, originated and signed by a generator in accordance with the instructions included in the Appendix to 40 CFR Part 262. The “cradle-to-grave” paperwork must accompany a shipment of hazardous waste as it moves from the generator to the transporter and eventually to the hazardous waste management facility.
Mixed Waste – Waste that contains both hazardous and source, special nuclear, or by-product material subject to the Atomic Energy Act (AEA), RCRA Section 5004(41), 42 U.S.C. 6903 (63 FR 17414; April 9, 1998).
Municipality – A city, village, town, borough, county, parish, district, association, Indian tribe or authorized Indian tribal organization, designated and approved management agency under Section 208 of the Clean Water Act, or any other public body created by or under State law and having jurisdiction over disposal of sewage, industrial wastes, or other wastes.
Off-site Facility – A hazardous waste treatment, storage, disposal, or recycling area located at a place away from the generating site.
OI Form – Off-site Identification Form.
Off-Specification Used Oil Burner – A site where used oil not meeting the specification requirements in 40 CFR 279.11 (off-specification used oil) is burned for energy recovery in devices identified in Section 279.61(a).
Off-Specification Used Oil Fuel – Used oil fuel that does not meet the specification provided under 40 CFR 279.11.
On-site Facility – A hazardous waste treatment, storage, disposal, or recycling area located on the generating site.
On-Specification Used Oil Fuel – Used oil fuel that meets the specification provided under 40 CFR 279.11.
Operator – The person responsible for the overall operation of a RCRA site. Note: This is the legal entity which controls the RCRA site operation rather than the plant or site manager. This is usually a company or business name, not an individual. See Person.
Owner – The person who owns a RCRA site or part of a RCRA site. Note: This includes the owner(s) of the building(s) and/or land. This may be an individual, company, or business name. See Person.
Person – An individual, trust, firm, joint stock company, Federal Agency, corporation (including a government corporation), partnership, association, State, municipality, commission, political subdivision of a State, or any interstate body, as defined in 40 CFR 260.10.
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.
Classify each process system with a Management Method code that best identifies the last 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 last purpose of this treatment system – to remove metals from the wastewater. If this wastewater treatment system is RCRA-regulated, it would be reported as H070 (Chemical Treatment). 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 may be found in the “MANAGEMENT METHOD CODES” section of this booklet.
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.
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.
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; U.S. 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; eligible academic entity managing laboratory hazardous waste under Subpart K; facility managing hazardous secondary material being reclaimed that must comply with certain requirements and conditions; 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 material); or (2) 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).
Short-Term Generator–A facility that was not a hazardous waste generator until a one-time, non-
recurring, temporary event occurred 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 and revert back to a non-hazardous waste generator category. Short-term generators are not considered episodic generators because episodic generators generate hazardous waste on a regular basis. Examples of short-term generators include: one-time highway bridge waste generation, underground storage tank removals, generation of off-spec or out-of-date chemicals at a site that normally does not otherwise generate hazardous waste, remediate or spill clean-up sites with no previous RCRA EPA Identification Number, and site or production process decommissions by a new operator.
Sludge – Any solid, semi-solid, or liquid waste generated from a municipal, commercial, or industrial wastewater treatment plan, water supply treatment plant, or air pollution control facility exclusive of the treated effluent from a wastewater treatment plant (40 CFR 260.10).
Small Quantity Generator (SQG) of Hazardous Waste – is a generator if the site meets all of the
following criteria:
(i) Generates, in any calendar month, greater than 100 kilograms (220 lbs) but less than 1,000 kilograms (2200 lbs) of non-acute hazardous waste; and

(iii) Generates, in any calendar month, less than or equal to 100 kilograms (220 lbs) of any residue or contaminated soil, water, or other debris resulting from the cleanup of a spill, into or on any land or water, of any acute hazardous waste listed in 261.31 or 261.33(e) of this chapter.
Small Quantity On-site Burner Exemption – The persons who burn small quantity 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), owners or operators 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 owners or operators 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 the “EXCLUDED WASTES” section of this booklet). 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 Nuclear Regulatory 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.
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 Nuclear Regulatory 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.
Subpart K – An alternative set of generator requirements for managing laboratory hazardous waste at eligible academic entities. Generators that are eligible academic entities with laboratories may elect to opt into 40 CFR 262 Subpart K and manage their laboratory hazardous waste under Subpart K in lieu of 40 CFR 262.14, 15, 16, and 17. In order for eligible academic entities (see definition) to opt into Subpart K or subsequently withdraw from Subpart K, they must use the Site ID Form to notify the appropriate State or EPA Regional Office. Refer to 40 CFR 262.203 and 262.204. Note: You must check with your State to determine if you are eligible to manage laboratory hazardous waste pursuant to 40 CFR Part 262 Subpart K and for any State-specific requirements.
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).
Tolling – Tolling arrangements describe a particular type of recycling contract between two companies. Specifically, the “tolling” company certifies that it has a contract with a manufacturer to produce a product, and that manufacturing process generates a residual material that can be recycled by the tolling company. If the tolling company certifies that the contract specifies that the tolling company owns and has responsibility for the recyclable material once it is generated, and the material is returned to the tolling company for reclamation, and subsequently recycled, the material is excluded from regulation (under 40 CFR 261.4(a)(23)), provided certain requirements are met.
Transfer Facility – Any transportation-related facility including loading docks, parking areas, storage areas, and other similar areas where shipments of hazardous waste are held for 10 days or less during the normal course of transportation (40 CFR 261.4(a)(23) and 40 CFR 263.12).
Transporter – A person engaged in the off-site transportation of hazardous waste by air, rail, highway, or water.
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.
United States Importer – Any person who imports hazardous waste from a site located in a foreign country into the U.S. This does not include hazardous waste shipped from U.S. 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, mercury-containing equipment, and lamps. Some States may have State-specific universal wastes defined as well.
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.
Used Oil Fuel Marketer – Any person who conducts either of the following activities:
Directs a shipment of off-specification used oil from their site to an off-specification used oil burner; or
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 ID Form, includes used oil transportation; used oil processing and re-refining; burning off-specification 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-specification 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-specification 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 owners and operators 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.
very small quantity generator (VSQG) of hazardous waste - A generator who generates less than or equal to the following amounts in a calendar month:
(i) 100 kilograms (kg) 220 pounds [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).
Waste Minimization – The reduction, to the extent feasible, of hazardous waste that is generated or subsequently treated, stored, or disposed. It includes any source reduction or recycling activity undertaken by a generator that results in: (1) the reduction of total volume or quantity of hazardous waste; (2) the reduction of toxicity of hazardous waste; or (3) both, as long as the reduction is consistent with the goal of minimizing present and future threats to human health and the environment.
Waste Oil(BIENNIALREPORTONLY)– 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 and is managed as a hazardous waste.
WR Form – Waste Received From Off-site Form.
Special Instructions
These instructions explain how to complete the 2017 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:
If your State specifically requires that these wastes be reported;
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
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 Hazardous Waste – Groundwater contaminated by RCRA hazardous waste 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 was a RCRA hazardous waste if it is removed for treatment, storage, or disposal.1When reporting groundwater contaminated by hazardous waste in the 2017 Hazardous Waste Report, observe the following conventions:
Enter “0” in the GM Form – Item 1.F (Quantity Generated). Explain in Item 4 - Comments that it is groundwater, not a hazardous waste that was generated on-site.
Report quantities managed on-site (GM Form, Item 2, On-site Process Systems 1 and 2); quantities shipped off-site for management (GM Form, Item 3); and quantities received from off-site and managed on-site (WR Form, Item E).
Lab Packs – The following rules apply to the reporting of lab pack wastes in the 2017 Hazardous Waste Report:
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 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.
Enter a Form Code indicating lab packs (i.e., W001 or W004) on the GM Form, in Section 5 – Item E or on the WR Form, in Section 6- Item G. These Form Codes are to be used with any lab pack, whether the wastes are gaseous, liquid, solid, or sludge.
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 5 – Item B of the GM Form, or Item B of the WR Form. 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 5 – Item B of the GM Form, or Item B of the WR Form in Section 6; then enter “NA” in the remaining spaces for the EPA hazardous waste codes.
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 the “DEFINITIONS” in section 9 of this booklet), 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 2017 Hazardous Waste Report.
Subpart K Laboratory Waste Clean-out – A Subpart K laboratory clean-out conducted in accordance with 40 CFR 262.213(a), is defined as: once per 12 months per laboratory, a laboratory will have 30 days to conduct a clean-out and will not have to count the hazardous waste that consists of unused commercial chemical products (either listed or characteristic) generated during those 30 days towards the eligible academic entity’s generator status for the purposes of on-site accumulation. See 40 CFR 262.213(a)(1-4) for other Subpart K laboratory clean-out requirements.
The waste generated from this clean-out should be reported on the GM Form with a source code of “G17 – Subpart K Laboratory Waste Clean-out” with a generation amount of zero (0) (Item 1. F). The amount shipped off-site or managed on-site will be reported in Items 2 or 3 of the GM Form as appropriate.
Laboratory waste that is generated during routine operations (e.g., spent solvents or spent acids/bases) should be reported separately from Subpart K laboratory clean-out wastes. Routinely generated laboratory waste should be reported with source code(s) other than G17.
Wastes Received from Very Small Quantity Generators (VSQGs) – Waste management facilities sometimes receive hazardous waste from large numbers of VSQGs or other sites that do not have RCRA EPA Identification Numbers. To minimize the response burden for filling out the WR Form for these wastes, you may aggregate the wastes across generating sites, in accordance with these guidelines:
All the wastes must have the same EPA hazardous waste code (Item B), State hazardous waste code (Item C), Form code (Item G), and Management Method code (Item H).
Wastes received from different States must be reported separately. For the off-site handler EPA Identification Number (Item D), the entry should include the two-letter postal code of the originating State, followed by the letters “VSQG”.
For example, wastes received from several VSQGs in the State of Alaska (AK) that share a common EPA hazardous waste code, State hazardous waste code, Form code, and Management Method code could be aggregated in a single waste block of the WR Form (e.g., Waste 1). In Item D, the off-site handler EPA ID number is entered as “AKVSQG.” Note: This method of completing Item D can also be used for VSQG waste that is not aggregated.
Wastes Received from Foreign Countries – Reporting on the GM Form – If your site was the generator of record and was the U.S. Importer for hazardous waste received from a site located in a foreign country (other than U.S. territory or protectorate), complete a GM Form. Enter the appropriate code in Item 1.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 the Comments. Also, mark “Yes” on the Site ID Form, Item 10.A.3 – United States Importer of Hazardous Waste. Report on the OI Form the name and address of all foreign generators if this form is required by your State. If you are a TSDF as well as an importer of record, refer to the following instructions about an alternative to reporting on GM Forms.
Report on the WR Form – If your site received hazardous waste directly from a generator at a site located in a foreign country (other than a U.S. territory or protectorate), complete a WR Form for the waste treated, recovered, or disposed at your site. Only the first TSD site receiving foreign hazardous waste should report the waste in WR. If this waste is then shipped to another domestic site it is not counted as imported waste on the WR by the second site. If the foreign site has an EPA assigned Identification (ID) Number listed in the Code Description section or in the lookup table in RCRAInfo, fill out the WR Form as you would for a domestic site, using this number on the list or the list in the lookup table in the RCRAInfo. If the site does not have an EPA assigned ID number on the list or in the lookup table, report the code “FC” for foreign country followed by the name of the country in the space for the EPA ID Number or add the new handler or update the old one (e.g., when there is a name change) in the lookup table in RCRAInfo. If your State requires the OI Form, the name and address of the foreign handler does not need to be in the comments section of the WR Form.
Federal requirement for imported hazardous wastes is under 40 CFR §§ 264.75 and 265.75 for TSDFs and/or the 40 CFR § 262.41 for importers complying with generator requirements (or equivalent authorized state requirements
As the owner or operator of the TSDF receiving hazardous waste import shipments, you must report such hazardous waste import shipments using the WR Form, as appropriate. If your facility was acting as the importer of record, you assumed generator requirements for those import shipments and must also report the import shipments as generated hazardous wastes from a foreign source using the GM Form.
An EPA-acceptable alternative for you to meet your generator biennial reporting requirement for those import shipments would be for you to add a statement to the comment field of your WR form for those import shipments noting that your TSDF was the importer of record for the listed import shipment(s). Please check with your authorized State Agency on how best to meet your generator biennial reporting requirements.
If your facility was not acting as the importer, EPA strongly encourages the importer to comply with the biennial reporting requirements in 40 CFR § 262.41 (or equivalent authorized state requirements). All parties possibly acting as the importer could be held jointly and severally liable for compliance with the generator requirements of Part 2622.
WASTES SHIPPED TO FOREIGN COUNTRIES– Reporting on the GM Form, Item 3.B –Facilities that export hazardous waste must file a separate Annual Report under 40 CFR 262.83(g). This Annual Report will be in addition to the Hazardous Waste Report, if your State requires you to submit a Hazardous Waste Report with hazardous waste exported directly to a site located in a foreign country. If your State requires you to report exported hazardous waste, facilities that export hazardous waste should list in GM Item 3.B a Foreign Site Identification Number listed in the Code Description section or in the lookup table in RCRAInfo. If a site located in a foreign country to which hazardous waste is shipped is not on the list, enter “FC” followed by the name of the country as the EPA Identification Number or add the new handler or update the old one (e.g., when there is a name change) in the lookup table in RCRAInfo.

1To determine if the contaminated media must be reported at all (generated OR treated): If the contamination is due to a characteristic waste, then it is the generator’s responsibility to determine if the contaminated groundwater is a hazardous waste. Once the characteristics are eliminated, the media is no longer considered to “contain” hazardous waste. If a facility has first removed groundwater and is claiming that the groundwater is contaminated with a listed hazardous waste or “contains” listed hazardous waste, EPA Regions or Authorized States should make a site-specific determination of whether the media is a RCRA Waste.
