2009 Hazardous Waste Report
Instructions and Form

This is an ongoing information collection from hazardous waste gene rators and hazardous waste treatment, storage, or disposal
facilities. This co llection is done on a two-year cycle as required by Sections 3002 and 3004 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). The information is collected via a mechanism known as the Hazardous Waste Report for the required reporting year [EPA Form 8700-13 A/B] (also known as the Bi ennial Report). Both RCRA Sections 3002 and 3004 require EPA to establish standards for recordkeeping and reporting of hazard ous waste. Section 3002 applies to hazardous waste generators and Section 3004 applies to hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facilitie s. The implementing regulations are foun d at 40 CFR Parts 262.40(b) and (d); 262.41(a)(1)-(5), (a)(8), a nd (b); 264.75(a)-(e) and (j); 265 .75(a)-(e) and (j); and 270.30( l)(9). This is mandatory reporting by the respondents.

The respondents’ submissions (reports) describe each generated hazardous waste, the activity by which they generated the wastes, and the waste quantity; the reports also list the management method by which ea ch waste is treated, recycled, or dispos ed and the quantity managed. There are a number of uses of Biennial Report data. EPA uses Biennial Report data for planning and developing regulations, compliance monitoring, and enforcement. Also, Biennial Report data allows the Agency to determine whether its regulations are having the desi red effect on the generati on and management of hazardous waste. For example, Biennial Report data provides information on whether waste management has shifted fro m one method of disposal to another. Some State uses of Report data include support of planning , fee assessment, compliance monitoring, and enforcement.

Some businesses consider some of their hazardous waste informat ion to be Confidential Business Information (CBI). A business may, if it desires, protect its Biennial Report information fro m public disclosure by asserting a claim of confidentiality cove ring all or part of its information. When a claim is made EPA will treat the informa tion in accordance with the confidentiality regulations in 40 CFR Part 2, S ubpart B. EPA also ensures that the informatio n collection procedures comply with the Privacy
Act of 1974 and OMB Circular 108.

Estimated Burden: The total annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 18.7 hours per response. The annual reporting burden is estimated to average 16.4 hours per response including time for reviewing instructions, gathering data, completing and reviewing the forms, and submitting the report. The annual recordkeep ing requirement is estimated to average 2.3 hours per respondent including the time for filing and storing the Biennial Report submission.

To comment on the Agency’s need for this information, the accuracy of the provided burde n estimates, and any suggested methods for minimizing respondent burden, including the use of automated collection techniques, EPA has established a public docket for this ICR under Docket ID Number, which is availabl e for public viewing at the RCRA Docket in the EPA Docket Center (EPA/DC), EPA West, Room B102, 1301 Constitution Ave ., NW, Washington, D.C. The EPA Docket Center Public Reading Room is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding le gal holidays. The telephone number for the Reading Room is (202) 566-1744 and the telephone number for the RCRA Docket is (202) 566-0270. An electronic version of the public docket is available through EPA Dockets (EDOCKET) at http://www.epa. gov/dockets/regulations.htm.

## PURPOSE OF THE 2009 HAZA RDOUS WASTE REPORT

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s ( EPA) mission to protect human health and the environment includes the responsibility to effectivel y manage, with the States, the nation’s hazardous waste. As part of this task, the EPA and the States collect and maintain inform ation about the generation, management, and final disposition of the natio n’s hazardous waste regulated by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA).

The EPA prepared this booklet for hazardous waste gene rators and for facilities that treat, store, or dispose hazardous waste to report their hazardo us waste activities for calendar year 2009. The
information collected will:

• Provide the EPA and the States with an u nderstanding of hazardous waste generation and management in the United States.

• Help the EPA measure the quality of the environm ent, such as monitoring industry compliance with the regulations and evaluating waste minimization efforts taken by industry.

• Be summarized and communicated to the public, primarily through publication of the 2009 National Biennial RCRA Hazardous Waste Report.

The data you provide will be entered into a computer database by the State or the EPA Regional Office to which you return your Hazardous Waste Report. After review, to ensure the quality of the data, EPA will
create a national database for this information. Your efforts in carefully filling out all the report forms are appreciated.

IMPORTANT

Before completing the 2009 Hazardous Waste Report forms, please carefully read the instructions in this
booklet.

IF YOU NEED ASSISTANCE

To obtain assistance in filling out the 2009 Hazardous Waste Report forms, please contact your State Office. Some States’ reporting requirements differ fro m the Federal requirements. The list of State and EPA Regional Office addresses, contact names, te lephone numbers, and e-mail addresses is located at: http://www.epa.gov/osw/inforesources/data/form8700/contact.pdf.

## WHO MUST FILE THE 2009 HA ZARDOUS WASTE REPORT

Sites Required to File the Hazardous Waste Report

You are required by Federal statute (mandatory reporti ng) to complete and file the 2009 Hazardous Waste Report (also known as the “Biennial Report”) or your State’s equivalent hazardous waste report if your
site:

• Met the definition (see box below) of a RCRA Large Quantity Generator (LQG) during 2009; or

• Treated, stored, or disposed of RCRA hazardous wastes on-site during 2009.

If you are required to report, see WHICH FORMS TO SUBMIT AND WHAT TO REPORT to determine which forms you must submit.

DEFINITION OF A RCRA LARGE QUANTITY GENERATOR
WHO MUST REPORT FOR CALENDAR YEAR 2009

A site is a RCRA Large Quantity Gene rator (LQG) for 2009 if the site met any of the following criteria:

a. The site generated, in any single calendar m onth, 1,000 kg (2,200 lbs.) or more of RCRA non-acute hazardous waste; or

b. The site generated, in any single calendar month, or accumulated at any time, more than 1 kg (2.2 lbs.) of RCRA acute hazardous waste; or

c. The site generated, in any single calendar m onth, or accumulated at any time, more than 100 kg (220 lbs.) of spill cleanup material contaminated with RCRA acute hazardous

waste.

Note: You will report your current Hazardous Waste Generator status as of the date of submitting your 2009 Hazardous Waste Report on the Site ID Form in Item 10.A.1 – Generator of Hazardous Waste. Your current status may be different from the status during the report year that requires you to file the Hazardous Waste Report.

Note: Hazardous waste imported from a foreign country in 2009 must be counted in determining your generator status if your site is the U.S. Importe r. This waste must be reported on the GM Form or the WR Form in your 2009 Hazardous Waste Report.

### Who Must File the 2009 Hazardous Waste Report (continued)



### 3 Sites That Should Not File the Hazardous Waste Report

Do not file the 2009 Hazardous Waste Report if, during 20 09, your site was not a RCRA Large Quantity Generator (your site did not meet any of the LQG criteria) and your site did not treat, store, or dispose of RCRA hazardous wastes on-site in waste manageme nt units subject to a RCRA operating permit.

If you are not required to report, you should notify us if your hazardous waste generator status has changed; please fill out the RCRA Subtitle C Site Identif ication Form and submit it to your State Office. See the Item-by-Item Instructions for information on filling out the Site Identification Form. Place an “X” in the box for Subsequent Notification of Regulat ed Waste Activity in Item 1 – Reason for Submittal.

Do not file the 2009 Hazardous Waste Report if, during 2009, all of your hazardous waste was exported directly out of the United States to a foreign country . An Annual Report must be filed in this case as required under 40 CFR 262.56.



### State-Specific Requirements

States may impose reporting requirements above and beyond the Federal requirements. If your State does so, it will attach information to (or delete informati on from) this booklet. Alternatively, some States use a modified version of this report or their own instruc tions and forms to fulfill their reporting requirements. Please contact your State Office about State-speci fic requirements. See the Contacts list at: http://www.epa.gov/osw/inforesources/data/form8700/contact.pdf.

These regulations exclude certain hazardous secondary material being reclaimed from the RCRA Subtitle C definition of solid waste provided certain requirements and conditions are met. Complete all parts 1-3.

NOTE You must check with your State to determine if you are eligible to manage hazardous secondary material under 40 CFR 261.2(a)(2)(ii), 261.4(a)(23), (24), or (25). (See also http://www.epa.gov/epawaste/hazard/dsw/statespf.htm.)

You must be managing hazardous secondary mate rial, which is secondary material (e.g., spent material, by-product, or sludge) th at when discarded, would be identified as
hazardous waste under 40 CFR Part 261. Do not include any information regarding your
hazardous wastes in this section.

You must submit a completed Site ID Form , including this Addendum, prior to operating under the exclusion(s) and by March 1 of each even-numbered year thereafter to your regulatory authority using the Site ID Form as pursuant to 40 CFR 260.42. Persons who must satisfy this notification requirement can submit this information at the same time as their Biennial Report (which is also due by March 1 of each even-numbered year).

If you stop managing hazardous secondary materi al in accordance with the exclusion(s) and do not expect to manage any amount of hazardous secondary material under the exclusion(s) for at least one year, you must also submit a completed Site ID Form, including this Addendum, within thirty (30) days pursuant to 40 CFR 260.42.

Remember to include your EPA Identification Number on the top of each page.

Item 1 – Indicate Reason for Notification (include dates where requested):

Place an “X” in the box for th e reason that applies to you:

• Notifying that the facility will begin managing hazardous secondary material as of (mm/dd/yyyy): Place an “X” in this box if you are notifying that you will begin managing hazardous secondary material under the exclusion(s).

i) Facilities must notify prior to operating under the exclusion(s).

### Addendum to the Site ID Form (continued)



### 27 ii) If placing an “X” in this box, list th e date (mm/dd/yyyy) when you will begin managing hazardous secondary material under 40 CFR 261.2(a)(2)(ii), 40 CFR 261.4(a)(23), (24), or (25). Note: If the f acility had previously notified that it will stop managing hazardous secondary material in the past but will now begin anew, list the next planned start date.

• Re-notifying that the facility is still managing hazardous secondary material: Place an “X” in this box if you are re-notifying that you are still managing hazardous secondary material under the exclusion(s).

i) Facilities must notify by March 1 st of each even-numbered year.

ii) If placing an “X” in this box, you do not have to list a date.

• Notifying that the facility has stopped managing hazardous secondary material as of (mm/dd/yyyy): Place an “X” in this box if you are notifying that you have stopped managing hazardous secondary material under the exclusion(s) and do not expect to manage any amount of hazardous secondary material for at least one year (pursuant to 40 CFR 260.42(b)). List the date when you stopped managing hazardous secondary material. Enter the date in “mm/dd/yyyy” format.

i) Facilities must notify within 30 days of when they stopped managing hazardous secondary material. You are consider ed to have stopped managing hazardous secondary material if: 1) you stop managing hazardous secondary material completely (e.g., you cease operations); 2) you choose to manage the hazardous secondary material as hazardous waste; 3) you undergo closure and request release from financial assurance per 40 CFR 261.143(h); or 4) you temporarily suspend management of hazardous secondary material for at least one year.

ii) Only place an “X” in this box if you ha ve stopped managing a ll hazardous secondary material under the exclusion(s). For exampl e, if your facility only stopped managing one hazardous secondary material, but c ontinued to manage another hazardous secondary material, you would leave this box blank since your facility continues to manage some amount of hazardous secondary material.

iii) If you submit a notification that you have stopped managing hazardous secondary material, you do not need to renotify (unless you choose to manage hazardous secondary material again, in which case you would have to submit a notification prior to managing). After submitting a stop notification, you can leave the Addendum blank for subsequent submissions, incl uding any subsequent biennial report
submissions.

Item 3 – Facility has Financial Assurance Pursuant to 40 CFR 261 Subpart H

Financial assurance is required for reclaimers (0 7, 11) and intermediate (08) facilities managing hazardous secondary material under 40 CFR 261.4(a)(24) and (25).

• Mark “Yes”, if you have financial assurance pursuant to Subpart H of 40 CFR Part 261
AND you use at least one facility code that is 07, 08, or 11 in Item 2.a above. For example, the facilities in Examples 3 and 5 a bove are required to have financial assurance because the facility codes are 07 and 08, respectively.

• Mark “No”, if you do NOT have financial assurance pursuant to Subpart H of 40 CFR Part 261. Note: Reclaimers (07, 11) and intermediate (08) facilities must have financial assurance in order to manage hazardous sec ondary material under 40 CFR 261.4(a)(24) and (25). Answering “No” to this question may mean you are in violation of these regulations if you report facility codes 07, 08 , or 11. For example, the facilities in Examples 1, 2, and 4 above are not require d to have financial assurance because these facilities did not report facility codes of 07, 08, or 11.

## INSTRUCTIONS FOR FILLING OUT THE GM FORM –
WASTE GENERATION AND MANAGEMENT

Who Must Submit this Form

A site required to file the 2009 Hazardous Waste Repor t must submit a GM Form if the site generated RCRA hazardous waste that, in 2009, was accumulated on- site; managed on-site in a treatment, storage, or disposal unit; and/or shipped off-site for manage ment, consistent with the criteria below. (See Wastes to be Reported , below, for specific instructions on gene rated RCRA hazardous wastes that should be reported on the GM Form. See Wastes Not to be Reported , below, for any exclusions or exemptions from the GM Form reporting requirements under the 2009 Hazardous Waste Report.)



### Purpose of this Form

The GM Form is for reporting on-site hazardous wa ste generation and management in 2009. The GM Form is divided into three sections that document 1) the source, characteristics, and quantity of hazardous waste generated; 2) the quantity of hazardous wast e managed on-site along with the management method used; and 3) the quantity of hazardous waste shipped off-site for treatment, disposal, or recycling along with the off-site management method used.



### How to Fill out this Form

Make and submit a photocopy of the GM Form for each generated RCRA hazardous waste that should be reported, consistent with the criteria discussed below. Prior to photocopying, place the pre-printed site identification label in the top left-hand corner of th e form or, if you did not receive pre-printed labels, enter the site name and EPA Identification Number in this space.

Use the Comments section at the end of the form to clarify any entry (e.g., “Other” responses) or to continue any entry. When entering information in the Comments section, cross-reference the section
number and item letter to which the comment refers.

NOTE Please review your previous cycle’s GM source, form, and management method codes to see if they are still applicable. If applicab le, use those same codes for consistency.

Refer to the Special Instructions for repor ting lab packs, asbestos, PCBs, waste oils, groundwater contaminated by leachate, RCRA -radioactive mixed wastes, and laboratory
clean-out wastes.



### Wastes to be Reported

In general, each generated RCRA hazardous waste that is used to determine the site’s generator status should be reported on the GM Form. (See Wastes Not to be Reported , below, for any exclusions or exemptions from the GM Form reporting requirements under the 2009 Hazardous Waste Report.)

### GM Form (continued)



### 32 A GM Form must be submitted for each generated RCRA hazardous waste. Hazardous waste must be reported if it was:

• Generated and accumulated on-site and subsequently managed on-site or shipped off-site in 2009;

or

• Generated and accumulated on-site in 2009 but not managed on-site or shipped off-site until after 2009; or

• Generated and accumulated on-site pr ior to 2009 but either managed on-site or shipped off-site in 2009; or

• Imported from a foreign country in 2009.

Examples of RCRA hazardous wastes to be reported include those that were:

• Generated on-site from a production process, service activity, or routine cleanup.

• Generated from equipment decommissioning, sp ill cleanup, or remedial cleanup activity.

• Removed from on-site storage.

• Derived from the management of non-hazardous waste.

• Derived from the on-site treatment (including reclam ation), disposal, or recycling of previously existing hazardous waste (as a residual).

• Shipped off-site, including hazardous waste that was received from off-site (reported on the Waste Received From Off-site Form [WR Form]) and subsequently shipped off-site without being treated or recycled on-site.

• Radioactive wastes mixed with RCRA hazardous wast es should also be reported; be sure to mark
“Yes” on the Site Identification Form in Item 10.A.1.f. See the definitions and the special instructions regarding this waste.

• Hazardous wastes regulated only by your State should be reported if required by your State.



### Wastes Not to be Reported

RCRA hazardous wastes exported directly to a foreign country should not be reported on the GM Form. Rather, hazardous waste exports should be reporte d on the Annual Report required under 40 CFR 262.56.

In addition, materials an d wastes identified at 40 CFR 261.2(a)(2)( ii) and 261.4(a) and (b) and 261.5(c) should not be reported on the GM Form. Section 261.4(a) and (b) identify materials and solid wastes that do not qualify as solid or hazardous wastes, respectively. Section 261.5(c) identifies hazardous
wastes that should not be included in a site’s generator status determ ination, even if these hazardous wastes were generated at the site.

### GM Form (continued)



### 33 Following are the materials and wastes addressed under 40 CFR 261.4(a) and (b ) and 261.5(c), which should not be reported on the GM Form:

• Materials which are excluded from being a solid w aste, e.g., any mixture of domestic sewage and other wastes that passes through a sewer system to a publicly owned treatment works (unless they are stored or treated in regulated units prior to being discharged). (40 CFR 261.4(a))

• Solid wastes that are excluded from being hazar dous waste, e.g., petroleum-contaminated media and debris that fail the test for the toxicity characteristic (waste codes D018 through D043 only) and are subject to the corrective action regula tions under 40 CFR Part 280. (40 CFR 261.4(b))

• Waste exempt from regulation because the waste has not exited the raw material storage or production unit yet, as specified in 261.4(c). (40 CFR 261.5(c)(1))

• Hazardous waste that has been collected as a sample(s) for the purpose of determining its characteristic or composition, as specified in 261.4(d). (40 CFR 261.5(c)(1))

• Sample(s) undergoing treatability studies, as sp ecified in 261.4(e). (40 CFR 261.5(c)(1))

• Sample(s) undergoing treatability studies at the laboratory or testing facility, as specified in 261.4(f). (40 CFR 261.5(c)(1))

• Hazardous waste that is a specified recyclable ma terial such as ethyl alcohol or scrap metal, as specified in 261.6(a)(3). (40 CFR 261.5(c)(1))

• A residue of hazardous waste in an empty containe r or in an inner liner removed from an empty container, as specified in 261.7(a)(1). (40 CFR 261.5(c)(1))

• PCB wastes regulated under the Toxic Substance C ontrol Act, as specified in 261.8, unless mixed with a hazardous waste. (40 CFR 261.5(c)(1))

• Wastes managed immediately upon generation only in on-site elementary neutralization units, wastewater treatment units, or totally enclosed treatment facilities as defined in 40 CFR 260.10. (40 CFR 261.5(c)(2)) Any hazardous waste residues generated from these units, however, must be reported on the GM Form.

• Wastes recycled, without prior storage, only in an on-site process subject to regulation under 40 CFR 261.6(c)(2). (40 CFR 261.5(c)(3)) Any hazardous waste residues generated from these units, however, must be reported on the GM Form.

• Used oil that is recycled and is also a h azardous waste solely because it exhibits a hazardous waste characteristic and is managed unde r 40 CFR Part 279. (40 CFR 261.5(c)(4))

• Spent lead-acid batteries managed under the require ments of 40 CFR Part 266, Subpart G, which includes persons who reclaim spent lead-acid batteries that are recyclable materials; persons who generate, transport, or collect spent batteries; pe rsons who regenerate spen t batteries; or persons who store them (other than spent batteries that are to be regenerated). (40 CFR 261.5(c)(5)) Any hazardous wastes generated during battery reclam ation, however, must be reported on the
GM Form.

### GM Form (continued)



### 34 • Universal wastes managed under 40 CFR 261.9 and 40 CFR Part 273. (40 CFR 261.5(c)(6)) Any hazardous waste residues generated from these units, however, must be reported on
the GM Form.

Section 2 – On-site Generation and Management of Hazardous Waste During 2009Answering “Yes” or “No” to this question is mandatory. If you answer “Yes”, for each on-site RCRAregulated management system, you must report the ma nagement method and quantity treated, disposed, or recycled on-site during 2009.

Mark “Yes” or “No” to the Was any of this waste managed on-site? question to indicate if the site did

any of the following to the waste reported in Section 1, Item A: treat on-site; dispose on-site; recycle onsite. If you marked “Yes”, complete the bl ocks for On-site Process Systems below.

### GM Form (continued)



### 38 Skip to Section 3 if you marked “No”. Continue to On-site Process System 1 if you marked “Yes”.

On-Site Management Method Code

Classify the process system (see definition) with a Mana gement Method Code that best identifies the final substantive purpose/operation it performs. Space is provided to report up to tw o different Management Methods. If you did not use a second on-site process sy stem to manage the waste, leave the Management Method Code under On-site Process System 2 blank.

LIST For a list of Management Method Codes, see th e “Other Reference Information” section of
this booklet.

The space provided for the second on-site process system should be used only in the special case of management of the same waste on-site by more th an one process system during 2009. Use the second onsite process system only when:

• A waste is managed in one process system for a part of a year and in another process system for the rest of the year; or

• A waste is managed by two different process syst ems at the same time (i.e., management of the waste is split between parallel process systems).

If more than two on-site process systems meet one of the above conditions, you need not complete the entire form again. Simply attach a second copy of the GM Form, leaving blank all entries except Section 2 for on-site process systems. Note in the Comments section of each page: “Section 2, On-site Process System Type continued on supplemental page.” (Refer to instructions on page numbering of supplemental pages.)

The space provided for the second on-site process system should not be used to report the following:

• The on-site management of the treatment resi dual generated from management of the waste by the first management method (on-site management of treatment residuals should be reported on a separate GM Form); or

• To report treatment in a series of process units (see definition). Report only process systems, not process units.

Quantity Treated, Disposed, or Recycled On-site in 2009

Enter the quantity of hazardous waste described in Secti on 1 that was treated, disposed, or recycled by the reported on-site process manage ment method during 2009. Enter the quantity in the same unit of measure reported in Section 1, Item F.

Example: A firm generated 100 tons of F002 solvent wast e in 2009. Eighty (80) tons were recycled for reuse in a batch distillation process system, generating 5 tons of still bottoms. The remaining 20 tons
were burned in an industrial boiler.

### GM Form (continued)



### 39 Under On-site Process System 1, the site enters th e Management Method Code for distillation (H020) and a quantity of 80 tons. Under On-site Process System 2, the site enters the Management Method Code for energy recovery of liquids (H050) and a quantity of 20 tons. The 5 tons of still bottoms should be reported on a separate GM Form.

Section 3 – Off-site Shipment of Hazardous Waste This section requests information on the off-site shipme nt of hazardous waste. Answering “Yes” or “No” to this question is mandatory. If you answer “Y es”, all items in this section are mandatory. Do report shipments of previously generated hazardous wastes stored until 2009. Do report waste shipped via transfer facility. Do not report shipments of de-characterized wastes.

Space is provided to report shipments of the waste to three different off-site facilities. If the waste you reported in Section 1 was shipped to more than three off-site facilities during 2009, you need not complete the entire form again. Simply attach a second copy of the GM Form, leaving blank all entries except Section 3, Items B, C, and D.

## INSTRUCTIONS FOR FILLING OUT THE WR FORM –
WASTE RECEIVED FROM OFF-SITE

Who Must Submit this Form

A site required to file the 2009 Hazardous Waste Report must submit this form if, during 2009, it received
RCRA hazardous waste from off-site.



### Purpose of this Form

The WR Form identifies hazardous wastes that were re ceived from other hazardous waste sites and the method(s) used to manage them. The WR Form is di vided into three identical parts (i.e., waste blocks), labeled Waste 1, Waste 2, and Waste 3, that collect information on the quantities and characteristics of
each hazardous waste received from an off-site source during 2009 and managed on-site.



### How to Fill out this Form

You may report waste received from more than one o ff-site handler on the same page of the form. A separate waste block must be filled out for each hazardous waste received from each off-site handler.
Hazardous waste from the same off-site handler ma y be aggregated as long as a single form code describes the physical form or chemical composition, a nd all of the waste is managed in a single process system (i.e., same management method code).

If your site received more than three RCRA ha zardous wastes from off-site handlers during 2009, photocopy and fill out additional copies of this form. Prior to photocopying, place the pre-printed site identification label in the top left-hand corner of th e form or, if you did not receive pre-printed labels, enter the site name and EPA Identification Number in the space provided.

Use the Comments section at the end of the form to clarify any entry (e.g., “Other” responses) or to continue any entry. When entering information in the Comments section, cross-reference the waste block
and item letter to which the comment refers.

### Definitions (continued)



### 52 Process System For purposes of the Hazardous Waste Report, a process system refers to one or more units used together to treat, recover, or dispose of a hazardous

waste. The process system begins at the unit where the hazardous waste
first enters and consists of all othe r treatment, recovery, or disposal units downstream from the point of entry. Note that storage is not considered a process system, except for storage at a bulking and re-shipping facility (H141).

Classify each process system with a Management Method code that best
identifies the final substantive purpose/operation it performs . Fo r example, a process system to remove dissolved metals from wastewate r prior to shipping the sludge off-site typically includes equalization, pH adjustment, chemical precipitation, flocculation, clarification/settling, an d dewatering of the sludge removed from the bottom of the clarifier. The chemical precipitation process best identifies the primary purpose of this treatment system - to remove metals from the wastewater. If this wastewater treatment system is RCRA-regulated, it would be reported as H077 (chemical precipitation). If the slu dge will be disposed at the reporting site in a landfill, the code will be H132 (landfill) and will need to be reported on a separate GM Form because it is a residual from a treatment process. However, this process is exem pt if the treated water flows to a POTW or a NPDES outfall with no RCRA-regulated storage or treatmen t units in the system, and should not be reported. A listing of Management Method codes may be found in the “O ther Reference Information” section
of this booklet.

Process Unit For purposes of the Hazardous Waste Report, a process unit refers to a single type of treatment (e.g., tank, distillation column, surface impoundment) in which hazardous waste is treated, disposed, or recycled.

Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) The Solid Waste Disposal Act as amended by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) (40 CFR 270.2) . It is the Federal statute that regulates the generation, treatment, st orage, disposal, recycling, and/o r transportation of solid and hazardous waste.

RCRA Interim (Permit)
Status Refer to “Interim (Permit) Status” definition.

RCRA Permit A complete RCRA permit is compri sed of an operating permit for hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal, and a corrective action permit addressing releases from solid waste management unit (SWMUs). To apply for a permit, a site must file a two-part application (Part A and Part B). A facility is not considered to have a complete RCRA permit until both parts
have been issued.

RCRA Subtitle C Site (RCRA Site or Site) The physical plant or location at which one or more of the following regulated waste activities occurs: the generation, transportation, treatment, storage, or disposal of hazardous wastes; recycling of hazardous wastes; United States importer of hazardous waste; mixed waste (hazardous and radioactive) generator; exempt boiler and/or industrial furnace burning o r
p rocessing hazardous waste; large quantity handler of or destination facility for universal wastes; disposing h azardous waste with an undergroun d injection permit; the transportatio n (and temporary storage during

### Definitions (continued)



### 53 transportation), processing/re-refining, bur ning, or marketing of used oil; eligible academic entity managing laboratory hazardous waste unde r Subpart K; facility managing hazardous secondary material being reclaimed that must comply with certain requirements and conditions; or undergoing
corrective action.

A site may consist of several treatme nt, storage, or disposal operational units. For entities that only transport regu lated wastes, the term site refers to the headquarters of that entity’s operations.

Recycling Use, reuse, or reclamation of a material (40 CFR 261.1(c)(7)). “Reclamation” is the processing or regeneration of a material to recover a usable product (e.g., recovery of lead values from spent batteries, regeneration of spent solvents) (40 CFR 261.1(c)(4)). A material is “used o r reused” if it is either: (1) employed as an ingredient (including use as an intermediate) in an industrial pro cess to make a product (e.g., distillation
b ottoms from one process used as feedstock in another process) (40 CF R 261.1(c)(5)). However, a material will not satisfy this condition if distinc t components of the material are recovered as separate end products (as when
metals are recovered from metal-cont aining secondary material); or (2) employed in a particular function or application as an effective substitute fo r a commercial product (e.g., spent pickle liquor used as phosphorous precipitant and sludge conditioner in wastewater treatment).

Residual A hazardous waste derived from the tr eatment, disposal, or recycling of a previously existing hazardous waste (e.g., the sludge remaining after initial wastewater treatment).

Sludge Any solid, semi-solid, or liquid waste generated from a municipal, commercial, or industrial wastewater treatment plant, water supply treatment plant, or air pollution control facility exclusive of the treated effluent from a wastewater treatment plant (40 CFR 260.10).

Small Quantity Generator (SQG) of
Hazardous Waste A generator that meets all the following criteria:
1. Generates, in any calendar month, more than 100 kg (220 lbs.) but less than 1,000 kg (2,200 lbs.) of RCRA hazardous waste; and

2. Does not generate, in any calendar month, or accumulates at any time, more than 1 kg (2.2 lbs.) of acute hazardous waste and

3. Does not generate more than 100 kg (220 lbs.) of material from the cleanup of a spill of acute hazardous waste.

OR , a site is a Small Quantity Generator if the site:

1. Meets 1) and 3) of the Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generator criteria (see definition), but

2. Is storing more than 1,000 kg (2,200 lbs.) of RCRA hazardous waste on-site. If the site accumulates, at any time, more than 1,000 kg (2,200 lbs.) of RCRA hazardous waste, the site must apply fo r an EPA ID Number using this form.

### Definitions (continued)



### 54 Small Quantity On-Site Burner Exemption The persons who burn small quantities of hazardous waste in an on-site boiler or industrial furnace, in accordance with 40 CFR 266.108, are conditionally exempt from regulation for that activity.

Smelting, Melting, and Refining Furnace Exemption Under 40 CFR 266.100(c), owners or operators of smelting, melting, an d refining furnaces that process hazardous wastes solely for metals recovery are conditionally exempt from regulation, except for 40 CFR 266.101 an d 266.112, provided they comply with limited requirements set forth in Section 266.100(c). Similarly, 40 CFR 266.100(f) provides that owners o r operators of smelting, melting and refining furnaces that process hazardous wastes for the recovery of precious metals are conditionally exempt from regulation, except for 40 CFR 266.112, provided they comply with limited requirements specified in Section 266.100(f).

Solid Waste Any garbage, refuse, or sludge, or other materials not excluded under 40 CFR 261.4(a). Exclusions include, for example, domestic sewage and any mixture of other wastes that pass through a sewer system to a publicly owned treatment works (POTWs); indust rial wastewater discharges that are point source discharges subject to regulation under the Clean Water Act; irrigation return flows; nuclear materials defined by the Atomic Energy Act; and in situ mining materials (see the “Other Reference Information” section of this booklet.). Wastewaters being collected, stored, or treated before discharge and sludges generated by wastewater treatment are not excluded.
The EPA defines hazardous waste as a subset of solid waste.

Source Material As defined by the Atomic Energy Act of 1954: (1) Uranium, thorium, o r any other material determined by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission pursuant to the provisions of Section 2091 of this title to be source material; or (2) ores containing one or more of the foregoing materials in such concentration as the Commission may by regulation determine from time to
time.

Special Nuclear Material As defined by the Atomic Energy Act of 1954: (1) plutonium, uranium enriched in the isotope 233 or in the isotope 235, and any other material which the Nuclear Regulatory Commissi on, pursuant to the provisions o f Section 2071 of this title, determines to be special nuclear material, but does not include source material; or (2) any material artificially enriched by any of the foregoing, but does not include source material.

Subpart K An alternative set of generator requirements for managing laboratory hazardous waste at eligible academic en tities. Generators that are eligible academic entities with laboratories may el ect to opt into 40 CFR Part 262 Subpart K and manage their laboratory hazardous waste under Subpart K in lieu of 40 CFR 262.34(c) (or 40 CFR 261.5 for CESQGs). In order fo r eligible academic entities (see definition) to opt into Subpart K o r subsequently withdraw from Subpart K, they must use the Site ID Form to notify the appropriate State or EPA Regional Office. Refer to 40 CF R
262.203 and 262.204. Note: You must check with your State to determine if you are eligible to manage laboratory hazardous waste pursuant to 40 CFR Part 262 Subpart K and for any state-specific requirements.

### Definitions (continued)



### 55 Superfund The program operated under the legisl ative authority of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) and the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) that funds and carries out the solid waste emergency response and long-term remedial
activities of the EPA.

Surface Impoundment A natural topographic depression, man- made excavation, or diked area formed primarily from earthen materi als (though it may be lined with manmade materials) that is designed to accumulate liquid wastes or wastes containing free liquids, and that is not an injection well (40 CFR 260.10).

Tolling Tolling arrangements describe a particular type of recycling contrac t b etween two companies. Specifically, the “tolling” company certifies that i t has a contract with a manufacturer to produce a product, and tha t manufacturing process generates a residual material that can be recycled by the tolling company. If the tolling company certifies that the contrac t specifies that the tollin g company owns and has responsibility for the recyclable material once it is generated, and the material is returned to the tolling company for reclamation, and sub sequently recycled, the material is excluded from regulation (under 40 CFR 261.2(a)(2)(ii) or 261.4(a)(23)), provided certain requirements are met.

Transfer Facility Any transportation-related facility including loading docks, parking areas, storage areas, and other similar areas where shipments of hazardous waste are held for 10 days or less during the normal course of transportation (40 CFR 260.10 and 40 CFR 263.12).

Transporter A person engaged in the off-site tran sportation of hazardous waste by air, rail, highway, or water.

Underground Injection
Control The subsurface emplacement of fluids through a bored, drilled or driven well; or through a dug well, where the depth of the dug well is greater than the largest surface dimension. Underg round injection wells are regulated under both the Safe Drinking Water Act and the Resource Conservation an d Recovery Act (see 40 CFR Part 148).

Unit Refer to “Process Unit" definition.

United States Importer Any person who imports hazardous wast e from a foreign country into the United States. This does not include hazardous waste shipped from a foreign Department of Defense site, Maquiladora, United States territory o r protectorate.

Universal Waste Any of the following hazardous wastes that are managed under the universalwaste requirements of 40 CFR Part 273: batteries, pesticides, mercurycontaining equipment, and lamps. Some States may have State-specific
universal wastes defined as well.

Used Oil Any oil that has been refined from crud e oil, or any synthetic oil, that has
b een used, and as a result of such use, is contaminated by physical o r chemical impurities.

### Definitions (continued)



### 56 Used Oil Fuel Marketer Any person who conducts either of the following activities:

1. Directs a shipment of off-specifica tion used oil from their site to an off-specification used oil burner; or

2. First claims that used oil that is to be burned for energy recovery meets the used oil fuel specifi cations set forth in 40 CFR 279.11.

Used Oil Management
Activities For the purposes of the Site ID Form, includes used oil transportation; used oil processing and re-refining; burning off-specification used oil fuel; and used oil fuel marketing.

Used Oil Processing Chemical or physical operations designed to produce from used oil, or to make used oil more amenable for production of, fuel oils, lubricants, o r other used oil-derived pr oducts. Processing includes, but is not limited to:
b lending used oil with virgin petroleu m products, blending used oils to meet the fuel specification, filtration, simple distillation, chemical or physical separation, and re-refining.

Used Oil Processor A site that processes on- specification or off-specification used oil.

Transfer facilities that store used oil for more than 35 days are subject to regulation under 40 CFR Part 279, Subpart F.

Used Oil Transporter Any person who transports used oil, any person who collects used oil fro m more than one generator and transpor ts the collected oil, and owners an d operators of used oil transfer fac ilities. Used oil transporters may consolidate or aggregate loads of used oil for purposes of transportation but, with the following exception, may not process used oil. Used oil transporters may conduct incidental processing operations that occur in the normal course of used oil transporta tion (e.g., settling and water separation),
b ut that are not designed to produce (or make more amenable for productio n of) used oil-derived products or used oil fuel.

WR Form Waste Received from Off-Site form.

## SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

These instructions explain how to complete the 2009 Hazardous Waste Report for wastes and sites with unique regulatory or reporting requirements.

Asbestos, PCBs, Waste Oils In most cases, do not report asbestos, PCBs, and waste oils. However, you must report them if any of the following
conditions exist:

(1) If your State specifically requires that these wastes be reported;

(2) If a listed RCRA hazardous waste (i.e., EPA hazardous waste code that begins with “F”, “K”, “P”, or “U”) is mixed with asbestos, PCBs, or waste oil, in which case the entire mixture is a hazardous waste; or

(3) If the waste possesses one or more of the characteristics that result in assigning EPA hazardous waste code beginning with “D”. (This does not apply to used oil that is recycled as explained below.)

Do not report “used oil that is recycled and is also a hazardous waste solely because it exhib its a hazardous characteristic (criterion 3 above). Used oil that is recycled includes any used oil which is reused, following its original use, for any purpose (including the purpose for which the oil was originally used). Such term includes, but is not limited to, oil which is re-refined, reclaimed, burned for energy recovery, or reprocessed.” (40 CFR 261.6(a)(4))

Groundwater Contaminated by
Leachate Groundwater contaminated by RCRA hazardous waste leachate
is not considered a solid waste and is, therefore, not classified as a hazardous waste. However, because hazardous waste is “contained in” the groundwater, it must be treated “as if” it were a RCRA hazardous waste. When reporting groundwater contaminated by leachate in the 2009 Hazardous waste Report, observe the following conventions:

(1) Do not report generation quantities for contaminated groundwater. Enter “NA” in the GM Form, Section 1, Item F (quantity). Explain in the Comments section that it isgroundwater, not a hazardous waste that was generated onsite.

(2) Do report quantities managed on-s ite (GM Form, Section 2, On-site Process Systems 1 and 2); quantities shipped off-site for management (GM Form, Section 3); and quantities received from off-site and managed on-site (WR Form, Item E).

### Special Instructions (continued)



### 58 Lab Packs The following rules apply to the reporting of lab pack wastes in the 2009 Hazardous Waste Report:

(1) You may aggregate lab pack wastes if they have the same Form Code. However, you must report them as separate wastes under the following conditions:

If they contain RCRA acute hazardous wastes (i.e., EPA hazardous waste codes F020, F021, F022, F023, F026, F027, and all “P” waste codes). Report separately from lab packs containing other RCRA hazardous wastes (all other EPA hazardous waste codes).

• If they are managed differently from each other. For example, report lab packs shipped to land fills separately from those incinerated.

(2) Enter a Form Code indicating lab packs (i.e., W001 or W004) on the GM Form, in Section 1, Item E or on the WR Form in Item G. These Form Codes are to be used with any lab pack, whether the wastes are gaseous, liquid, solid, or sludge.

(3) It is not necessary to report every EPA hazardous waste code included in a batch of lab packs. Record one, or a few predominant, EPA hazardous wast e codes in Section 1, Item B of the GM Form, or Item B of the WR Form. If there are many EPA hazardous waste codes associated with the batch of lab packs, enter “LABP” in the first four-character field in Section 1, Item B of the GM Form, or Item B of the WR Form; then enter “NA” in the remaining spaces for the EPA
hazardous waste codes.

(4) When reporting quantities for lab packs:

• Include the weight of the containers if they are disposed (e.g., landfilled) or treated (e.g., incinerated) with the waste.

• Exclude the weight of the containers if the waste is
removed from the containers before treatment or disposal.

RCRA-Radioactive Mixed Wastes By themselves, source material, special nuclear material, or byproduct materials (see definitions section), as defined by the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 and amended by 42 U.S.C. 2011 et. Seq., are not classified as hazardous wastes under RCRA. However, if these materials are mixed with a RCRA hazardous waste, the material is controlled under RCRA regulation, as well as under the Atomic Energy Act (DOE, NRC, and EPA) regulations, and is to be re ported in the 2009 Hazardous Waste Report.

### Special Instructions (continued)



### 59 Subpart K Laboratory Waste
Clean-out A Subpart K laboratory clean-out conducted in accordance with 40 CFR 262.213(a), is defined as: once per 12 months per laboratory, a laboratory will have 30 days to conduct a clean-out
and will not have to count the h azardous waste that consists of unused commercial chemical products (either listed or characteristic) generated during those 30 days towards the eligible academic entity’s genera tor status for the purposes of onsite accumulation. See 40 CFR 262.213(a)(1-4) for other Subpart K laboratory clean-out requirements.

The waste generated from this clean-out should be reported on the GM Form with a source code of “G17 – Subpart K Laboratory Waste Clean-out” with a generation amount of zero (0) (Section 1, Item F). The amount shipped off-site or managed on-site will be reported in Secti ons 2 or 3 of the GM Form as appropriate.

Laboratory waste that is gene rated during routine operations (e.g., spent solvents or spent acids/bases) should be reported separately from Subpart K laboratory clean-out wastes. Routinely generated laboratory waste should be reported with source code(s) other than G17.

Wastes Received from Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generators (CESQGs) Waste management facilities sometimes receive hazardous waste from large numbers of Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generators (CESQGs) or other s ites that do not have RCRA EPA Identification Numbers. To minimize the response burden for filling out the WR Form for these wastes, you may aggregate the wastes across generating sit es, in accordance with these guidelines:

(1) All the wastes must have the same EPA hazardous waste code (Item B), State hazardous waste code (Item C), Form code (Item G), and Manageme nt Method code (Item H).

(2) Wastes received from different States must be reported separately. For the off-site handler EPA Identification Number (Item D), the entry should include the two-letter postal code of the originating State, followed by the letters “CESQG”.

For example, wastes received fro m several CESQGs in the State of Alaska (AK) that share a common EPA hazardous waste code, State hazardous waste code, Form code, and Management Method code could be aggregated in a single waste block of the WR Form (e.g., Waste 1). In Item D, the off-site handler EPA ID number is entered as “AKCESQG”. Note: This method of completing Item D can also be u sed for CESQG waste that is not aggregated.

### Special Instructions (continued)



### 60 Wastes Received from Foreign
Countries Reporting on the GM Form – If your site was the generator of record and was the U.S. Importer for hazardous waste received from a foreign country (other th an a foreign Department of Defense site, Maquiladora, U.S. territory or protectorate), complete a GM Form. Enter the appropriate code in Section 1, Item D – Source Code from the list of codes G63 through G75 – Hazardous waste received from [name of foreign country]. Include the Import Notification and other foreign generator information in the Comments. Also, mark “Yes” on the Site ID

Form, Item 10.A.1.e – United States Importer of Hazardous Waste. Report on the OI Form the name and address of all foreign generators if this fo rm is required by your State.

Report on the WR Form – If your site received hazardous waste directly from a generator in a foreign country (other than a foreign Department of Defense s ite, Maquiladora, U.S. territory or protectorate), complete a WR Form for the waste treated, recovered, or disposed at your site. This waste was not shipped to your site by a U.S. Importer. Report the code “ FC ” followed by the name of the foreign country in Item D – Off-site Handler EPA ID number. Include the Import Notification and other foreign generator informa tion in the Comments. Report on the OI Form the name and address of all foreign generators if this form is required by your State.

## HSM FACILITY CODES

Facility codes describe the specific regulation a facili ty uses to manage its hazardous secondary material (HSM) and the type of activity the facility performs under that regulation (e.g., generator, reclaimer). Review the groups and pick the appropriate code. If more than one facility code applies to you, enter each code on a separate row under Item 2 of the Addendum to the Site ID Form.

Under Control of the Generator Exclusion (40 CFR 261.2(a)(2)(ii) or 261.4(a)(23))

Code Facility Code Description

01 HSM Generator reclaiming HSM “on-site” : This code applies if you ge nerate and recl aim hazardous secondary material at your generating facility. See also paragraph (1) in the Federal definition of “Hazardous secondary material generated and reclaimed under the control of the generator” in 40 CFR
Part 260.10

02 HSM Generator transferring HSM to r eclaimer within the “same company”: This code applies if you generate hazardous secondary material and send th e material for reclamation to a different facility that is either controlled by you or controlled by th e same person that controls your generating facility. See also paragraph (2) in the Federal definition of “Hazardous secondary material generated and reclaimed under the control of the generator” in 40 CFR Part 260.10

.

03 Reclaimer receiving HSM from HSM gen erator within the “same company”: This code applies if

you receive and reclaim hazardous second ary material from a different fac ility that either controls you or is controlled by the same person that controls you. See also paragraph (2) in the Federal definition of “Hazardous secondary material generated and reclaimed under the control of the generator” in 40 CFR
Part 260.10.

04 Tolling Contractor reclaiming HSM pursuant to a tolling contract: This code applies if you are a tolling contractor that reclaims h azardous secondary materi al pursuant to a written contract with a toll
manufacturer. See also paragraph (3) in the Federal definition of “Hazardous secondary material generated and reclaimed under the control of the generator” in 40 CFR Part 260.10.

Who Must Submit this Form

Sites required to file the 2009 Hazardous Waste Report must submit the OI Form if:

• The OI Form is required by your State; AND

• The site received hazardous waste from off-site or sent hazardous waste off-site during 2009.



### Purpose of this Form

The OI Form documents the names and addresses of off-site installations and transporters.



### How to Fill out this Form

The OI Form is divided into five identical parts. You must fill out one part for each off-site installation to which you shipped hazardous waste, each off-site inst allation from which you received hazardous waste, and each transporter you used to ship hazardous wast e during 2009. If these off-site installations and transporters total more than four, you must photocopy and complete additional copies of the form. Prior to photocopying, place the pre-printed site identification label in the top left-hand corner of the form or, if you did not receive pre-printed labels, enter the site name and EPA Identification Number in this space.

Use the Comments section at the end of the form to clarify any entry (e.g., “Other” responses) or to continue any entry. When entering information in the Comments section, cross-reference the site number
