State of California — Environmental Protection Agency Department of Toxic Substances Control STATE REQUIREMENTS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR GENERATORS HOLDING STATE ID NUMBERS The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) revised the Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest effective September 5, 2006 and requires the use of only this version. Enclosed is manifest information you should read and save for future reference.. Manifest forms are available from printers approved by U.S. EPA. Approved printers can be found at http://vvww.epa.qov/epawaste/hazard/transportation/manifest/index.htm SMALL QUANTITY GENERATOR INFORMATION From this point forward any reference to manifests applies to the federal manifest. The term "Small Quantity Generator" is a federally defined term, but we will use it here for ease of reading. Small Quantity Generators are persons or businesses that generate monthly quantities of hazardous waste, not including Universal Waste (see page 6) that are greatArlinilnalillogiarrtstabott22(1-1b0 but readiglii kilograms (2200104 Technically, the term only applies to persons that generate federally regulated (Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, or WPM) waste, but the following state and federal requirements apply to .all businesses that generate less than 1,000 kg of hazardous waste in any calendar month. If you're not sure how much these metric measures represent: 1,000 kg is about 250 gallons of water, or about five 55-gallon drums; 100 kg equals about 27 gallons of water, which is about one-half of a 55-gallon drum; and one kg equals one liter, which is a bit more than a quart. The term "month" or "monthly" refers to any calendar month. General Requirements Determine if the waste you generate is hazardous waste. Universal waste should not be included in the calculations. [(Chapter 12, Section 66262.11, Title 22, California Code of Regulations (CCR)]. Track the amount of waste that you generate in each calendar month to make sure you are a small quantity generator. Do not use a monthly average. If you generate more than 100 kg of RCRA waste in any calendar month, you must use a federal EPA Identification Number (EPA ID Number). If you generate up to 100 kg of RCRA waste, you must use a California ID number. If you generate any amount of California only waste you must use a California ID number. Check the DTSC fact sheet "EPA Identification Numbers for Generators" for further information about the differences between the numbers.
