I used to be exempt from ID Number requirements. What happened? The passage of Senate Bill 271 (effective January 1, 2002) removed the exemption that once allowed small generators of used oil and solvents to offer waste for transport without an EPA ID Number (former milkrun or modified manifest procedures.) The Consolidated Manifesting procedure that replaced the milkrun manifesting procedure requires that generators using consolidated transporters provide them with an ID Number. How do I get an EPA ID Number? Handlers of RCRA waste who need an U.S. EPA ID Number must send a "Notification of Regulated Waste Activity", form 8700- 12, to the U.S. EPA contractor at the address given in its instructions. You can request this form by calling (415) 495-8895, or you can download the form from the U.S. EPA web site. Handlers who do not need a U.S. EPA ID but do need a California ID Number can obtain it by completing and submitting the "California Hazardous Waste Permanent ID Number Application", DTSC Form 1358, by mail, email, or fax. You can download the form from the DTSC website or you can request a blank form by calling DTSC at 800-618-6942. DTSC no longer issues permanent ID Numbers by telephone. Am I charged fees for the issuance of the ID Number? There is no charge for issuing the number, but DTSC is required to collect an annual Page 3 business information verification fee for each permanent ID Number. The fee is based on the number of employees in the entire organization. If your business has fewer than 50 employees, the fee is zero. There is no verification fee for a Temporary ID Number. Frequently Asked Questions about the ID Number verifcation process and manifest fees are available on the DTSC website. I usually don't generate hazardous waste, but I recently generated some. Can I get a temporary EPA ID Number for this one time event? DTSC issues temporary (or "provisional') ID Numbers to people or businesses that do not routinely generate hazardous waste. Examples of non -routine activities include asbestos abatement, removing underground tanks, and removing hazardous wastes that were abandoned in a leased building. A California temporary number is only valid for non-RCRA (California only) waste or when the total RCRA waste hauled is less than 220 pounds or 27 gallons per month. To get a California temporary ID Number, call DTSC at (800) 618-6942 (in-state) or (916) 255-1136 (out-of-state.) U.S. EPA also issues provisional ID Numbers for non - routinely generated federal wastes. Temporary and provisional ID Numbers are valid for a maximum of 90 days but can be used to haul any amount of hazardous waste that has been generated at the site before and during that period. Holders of temporary Numbers are not charged EPA ID verification fees. IV
