Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest: Instructions, Sample Form and Continuation Sheet

Management Method Codes

Management Method Codes are used to describe the type of hazardous waste management system used to treat, recover or dispose of a hazardous waste. They can be found on page 104 of the most recent version of the Hazardous Waste Report Instructions and Forms.

These Codes must be entered by the designated TSDF in Item 19 of the manifest and in Item 36 of the continuation sheet.

Federal regulations require generators and transporters of hazardous waste and owners or operators of hazardous waste treatment, storage, or disposal facilities (TSDFs) to use the uniform hazardous waste manifest (EPA Form 8700-22) and, if necessary, the continuation sheet (EPA Form 8700-22A) for both interstate and intrastate transportation.

EPA is providing below in PDF format a sample of what the uniform hazardous waste manifest and continuation sheet look like as well as the instructions for completing the uniform hazardous waste manifest.

For more information about the manifest, how to obtain copies of manifest forms you can use to ship hazardous waste and the new electronic manifest effort, check out our Manifest System web page.
