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 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.
