The Department of Toxic Substances Control's(DTSC) Form 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 California or federal permanent ID number. Do not use this form to apply for a new federal EPA ID number. Please call (415)495-8895 or go to http://www.epa.gov/Region9/waste/epanums.html to get information on federal EPA ID numbers. Information About California ID Numbers DTSC issues permanent California ID numbers to generators, transporters and disposal facilities for the purpose of tracking hazardous waste. California ID numbers are site-specific and owner- specific. The ID number enables regulators to track the waste from its origin to final disposal ("cradle to grave"). A business must obtain a federal or State ID number before shipping hazardous waste to a recycler or disposal facility. An exception from the ID number requirements is for businesses that generate nothing but small amounts of silver-only waste (such as photo fixer) and are shipping it to a recycler. In addition, most businesses that generate only universal waste will not need 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.00v/IDManifest. Information on existing ID numbers is available at www.hwts.dtsc.ca.aov. Click on Reports and then click on the report titled Search for a Company. Use this form to apply for a California ID number if your business generates no more than 100 kg per month of a federally-regulated waste, or any amount of a California-only (non-federally) regulated hazardous waste. California-only waste is commonly known as non-RCRA waste. Useful conversion: 100 kg is about 220 pounds which is about 27 gallons of liquid. Temporary ID Numbers DTSC also issues temporary ID numbers (good for 90 days only)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 waste that was 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. When you call and hear the recorded message, press 1 and then 3 to reach a technician. Hazardous Waste Transporters 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. With exceptions for a very few cases, including photographic and universal waste, transporters 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 permanent California or federal ID number. Transporter information and forms can be obtained at hftl)://www.dtsc.ca.gov/HazardousWasteffransporters/index.cfm, by email at transporter aedtsc.ca.gov or by calling (916)440-7145. If you are applying for an ID number as a hazardous waste transporter, you must submit this application with your transporter registration packet. Instructions for DTSC Form 1358(6/08) Page 1 of 4
