Resources for Large Quantity Generators
Generator Background Information
This Web page provides a list of guidance documents and tools that provide
information applicable to all hazardous waste generators.
The Hazardous
Waste Manifest System
The Manifest System is a set of forms, reports, and procedures designed
to seamlessly track hazardous waste from the time it leaves the generator
facility where it was produced, until it reaches the offsite waste management
facility that will store, treat, or dispose of the hazardous waste.
Hazardous Waste Generator Regulations: A User-Friendly Reference Document, September 1, 2006 (PDF) (335pp, 3,040KB, About PDF).
Hazardous
Waste Manifest System Final Rule
This Web page summarizes the revision of the Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest
regulations and the manifest and continuation sheet forms used to track
hazardous waste from a generator’s site to the site of its disposition.
180-Day
Accumulation Time for Waste Water Treatment Sludges From the Metal Finishing
Industry
EPA is encouraging metals recovery in the Metal Finishing Industry to
increase recycling of F006 waste. While protecting human health and the
environment, this final rule will minimize economic barriers to recycling
wastewater treatment sludge.
Hazardous
Waste Requirements for Large Quantity Generators (PDF) (4 pp, 407 K, About PDF)
To assist your business in learning about the requirements for LQGs, EPA
prepared this summary fact sheet. Note that this summary does not include
all of the LQG requirements.
Common
Violations Among LQGs
This Web page includes a list compiled from several EPA Regions that identifies
common violations that have been identified during recent inspections.
EPA Hazardous
Waste Training Requirements
This Web page provides concise descriptions of training requirements for
hazardous waste generators. Requirements differ by type of generator.
RCRA and
EPCRA Training Manual: Introduction to Air Emissions (PDF) (19 pp, 56 K, About PDF)
This manual includes a description of why LQG waste accumulation units must
meet air emissions standards after 1994.
RCRA Organic
Air Emissions Standards for TSDFS and Generators (PDF) (8 pp, 334 K, About PDF)
This document outlines the requirements of the RCRA organic air emission
standards contained in 40 CFR Parts 264/265, subpart CC. The organic air
emission standards for tanks, surface impoundments, and containers became
effective on December 6, 1996.
Lab
Waste at Educational Institutions
EPA is engaged in several efforts to facilitate improved reuse and recycling
of chemicals in educational institutions, and better waste management overall.
This Web page describes programs at two institutions and includes links
to additional information.
