11 State of California — California Environmental Protection Agency Department of Toxic Substances Control P.O. Box 806 Sacramento, CA 95812-0806 Information and Instructions for Obtaining A Permanent California ID Number Do not use this form to apply for a temporary California ID number. Information Regarding California ID Numbers The State of California's Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) issues permanent California ID numbers to generators, transporters and disposal facilities for the purpose of tracking hazardous waste. The ID number enables regulators to track the waste from its origin to final disposal ("cradle to grave"). California ID numbers are site-specific and owner -specific. All businesses regulated by hazardous waste law in California are required to have either a federal or State ID number. Only businesses that generate "silver -only" waste are exempt from having an ID number. You may obtain detailed information about ID numbers and legal citations (California Code of Regulations and Health and Safety Code) by going to DTSC's website at www.dtsc.ca.gov. You can access the EPA Identification Number Fact Sheet by going to Publications and Forms on DTSC's website. A permanent California ID number is required if you: (1) generate less than 100 kg per month of a federally -regulated hazardous waste and/or (2) any amount of a California -only (non-federal) regulated hazardous waste. This is commonly known as non-RCRA waste. Examples of state waste are petroleum products, asbestos, PCBs, antifreeze, and used oil. Useful conversions: 100 kg is about 220 pounds which is about 27 gallons of liquid. If your business generates federal waste that is not regulated (non-RCRA regulated) or California - only hazardous waste, use this form to apply for a California ID number. Do not use this form to apply for a federal (RCRA) ID number. The form will be returned to you. Please call (415) 495-8895 to get information on obtaining a federal EPA ID number. This form (DTSC 1358) is used to apply for a new permanent California ID number, reactivate an existing permanent ID number, inactivate an existing permanent ID number or to update information on a permanent ID number. DTSC also issues temporary ID numbers (good for 90 days) 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. If you need a temporary ID number, call (800) 618-6942 if calling from California or (916) 255-1136 if calling from outside California. Hazardous waste transporters are defined as any person transporting hazardous wastes by highway, water, rail or air within, into, out of, or through the State of California. They must be registered by DTSC. Health and Safety Code, section 25163(a) makes it unlawful for any person to carry on, or engage in, the transportation of hazardous wastes without a valid transporter registration. Each registered transporter must have a valid California or federal ID number. Information on existing ID numbers is available at www.hwts.dtsc.ca.gov .
