Dispose Numbers Release For Free

Very small quantity generators of hazardous waste are not required by federal EPA to obtain an EPA ID number or submit a notification form, but may be subject to state-specific reporting requirements. All generators should consult with their state agencies to clarify the specific reporting requirements for that state.

A very small quanity generator (VSQG) is any generator that generates the following amounts of hazardous waste in a calendar month: Less than 100 kilogram (220 pounds) of hazardous waste AND. Less than 1 kilogram (2.2 pounds or 1 quart) of acute hazardous waste.

Whether it's a notification or certification, the LDR paperwork must include: The hazardous waste codes that need to be treated for; The treatability group for each waste (e.g., wastewaters vs. non-wastewaters);

The LDR program found in 40 CFR Part 268 requires waste handlers to treat hazardous waste or meet specified levels for hazardous constituents before disposing of the waste on the land.

The entire packet containing all three forms, the Notification of RCRA Subtitle C Activities (Site Identification Form 8700-12), the Hazardous Waste Report (Biennial Report Form 8700-13A/B) and the Part A Permit Application (8700-23), is available as one PDF (137 pp, 1.59 MB, About PDF).

EXEMPT SMALL QUANTITY GENERATORS. If you generate no more than 220 lbs (100 kg) of hazardous waste per month, you are a Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generator (CESQG).

Large Quantity Generators (LQG)

(i) Underlying hazardous constituent means any constituent listed in § 268.48, Table UTS - Universal Treatment Standards, except fluoride, selenium, sulfides, vanadium, and zinc, which can reasonably be expected to be present at the point of generation of the hazardous waste at a concentration above the constituent-

Small Quantity Generators (SQGs) generate more than 100 kilograms, but less than 1,000 kilograms of hazardous waste per month. Major requirements for SQGs include: SQGs may accumulate hazardous waste on-site for 180 days without a permit (or 270 days if shipping a distance greater than 200 miles).

§ 268.48 Universal treatment standards. (a) Table UTS identifies the hazardous constituents, along with the nonwastewater and wastewater treatment standard levels, that are used to regulate most prohibited hazardous wastes with numerical limits.
