2015 Hazardous Waste Report
Instructions and Form

This is an ongoing information collection from hazardous waste generators and hazardous waste treatment, storage, or disposal

faci lities. This collection 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 ye ar [EPA Form 8700

- 13 A/B] (also known as the “ Biennial Report ” ). Both RCRA Sections 3002 and 3004 require the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA ) to establish standards for recordkeeping and reporting of hazardous waste. Section 3002
applies to hazardous waste generators and Section 3004 applies to hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facilities . The
implementing regulations are found at 40 CFR 262.40(b) and (d); 262.41(a)(1)

- (5), (a)(8), and (b); 264

. 75(a)

- (e) and (j); 265.75(a)

- (e) and (j); and 270.30(1)(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 each waste is treated, recycled, or disposed

, and the
quantity managed. There are a number of uses of Biennial Report data. Th e EPA uses Biennial Report data for planning and
developing regulations, compliance monitoring, and enforcement. Also, Biennial Report data allow the Agency to determine
whether its regulations are having the desired effect on the generation and managemen t of hazardous waste. For example, Biennial
Report data provide information on whether waste management has shifted from one method of disposal to another. Some State

uses of Biennial Report data include support of planning, fee assessment, compliance mo nitoring, and enforcement.

Some businesses consider some of their hazardous waste information to be Confidential Business Information (CBI). A business
may, if it desires, protect its Biennial Report information from public disclosure by asserting a claim of confidentiality covering all or
part of its information. When a claim is made, the EPA will treat the information in accordance with the confidentiality regulations
in 40 CFR Part 2, Subpart B. The EPA also ensures that the information collection pro cedures comply with the Privacy Act of 1974

and OMB Circular 108.

Estimated Burden: The annual reporting burden for the 2015 Hazardous Waste Report is estimated to average [##] hours per respondent, and includes time for reviewing instructions , gathering data, completing and reviewing the forms, and submitting the
report. The recordkeeping requirement is estimated to average [##] hours per response and includes the time for filing and storing

the 2015 Hazardous Waste Report submission for three years.

To comment on the Agency’s need for this information, the accuracy of the provided burden estimates, and any suggested methods
for minimizing respondent burden, including the use of automated collection techniques, the EPA has established a public docket for

the Information Collection Request ( ICR ) under Docket ID Number [DOCKET ID NO.] , which is available for public viewing at the RCRA Docket in the EPA Docket Center (EPA/DC), EPA West, Room 3334, 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 F riday, excluding legal 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

.

Use EDOCKET to submit or view public comments, access the index listing of the contents of the public docket, and to access t hose
documents in the public docket that are available electronically. Once in the system, select “search,” then key in the docket ID
number identified above. Also, you can send comments to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Manageme nt and Budget, 725 17 th Street, NW, Washington, D.C. 20503, Attention: Desk Office for EPA. Please include the EPA Docket ID

## THE 2015 HAZARDOUS WASTE REPO RT

INTRODUCTION

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

The EPA prepared this booklet for hazardous waste generators and for facilities that treat, store, or dispose hazardous waste to report their hazardous waste activities fo r calendar year 2015 . The
information collected will:

• Provide the EPA and the States with an understanding of hazardous waste generation and management in the U.S

.

• Help the EPA measure the quality of the environment, such as monitoring industry complian ce with the regulations and evaluating waste minimization efforts taken by industry.

• Be summarized and communicated to the public, primarily through publication of the 2015 National Biennial RCRA Hazardous Waste Report.

The data you provide will be entere d 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, the EPA will create a national database for this information. Your efforts in carefully f illing out all the report forms are appreciated.

IMPORTANT

Before completing the 2015 Hazardous Waste Report forms, please carefully read the instructions in this

booklet.

IF YOU NEED ASSISTANCE

To obtain assistance in filling out the 2015 Hazardous Waste Report forms, please contact your State Office. Some States’ reporting requirements differ from the Federal requirements. The list of State and
EPA Regional Office addresses, contact names, telephone numbers, and e

- mail addresses is loca ted at: http://www.epa.gov/epawaste/inforesources/data/form8700/contact.pdf

### WHAT’S NEW

Below is a list of changes to the 2015 Hazardous Waste Report Instructions and Forms.

CLARIFIED THE DEFINI TION OF LARGE QUANTI TY GENERATOR ( LQG)

Although current RCRA regulations do not specifically define the term “large quantity generator” (LQG), they do define the terms “conditionally exempt small quantity generator” (CESQG) and “small quantity generator “(SQG). Thus, a LQG is a generator that is not a CESQG or SQG. For purposes of clarity, the definition of LQG has been revised to describe all those situations where a generator would be a LQG

.

CLARIFIED THE DEFINI TION OF SMALL QUANTI TY GENERATOR (SQG)

A SQG is defined at 40 CFR 260.10 as a site that generates less than 1,000 kilograms ( kg ; 2,200 pounds [ lbs ] ) of hazardous waste in a calendar month. However, there are other situations where a generator could generate small amounts of acute hazardous waste listed in sections 261.31 or 261.33(e); and any residues or contaminated soil, waste, or other debris resulting from the cleanup of a spill, into or on any land or water, of any acute hazardous w astes listed in sections 261.31 or 261.33(e) and still maintain its regulatory status as a SQG. Therefore, for purposes of clarity, the definitio n of SQG has been revised to describe all those situations where a generator would continue to be a SQG . The EPA plans to make the appropriate conforming change to the outdated definition of SQG at 40 CFR 260.10 in the future.

CLARIFIED THE DEFINI TION OF CONDITIONALLY EXEMPT SMALL QUANTITY GENER ATOR (CESQG)

A C ESQG is defined at 40 CFR 261.5 (a) as a site that generates less than or equal to 100 kg (220 lbs) o f
hazardous waste in a calendar month . However, as found in 40 CFR 261.5(e), a generator also may generate small amounts of acute hazardous waste listed in sections 261.31 or 261.33(e); and any residues or contaminated soil, waste, or other debris resulting from the cleanup of a spill, into or on any land or water, of any acute hazardous wastes listed in sections 261.31, or 261. 33(e) and still maintain its regulatory status as a CESQG. Therefore, for purposes of clarity, the definition of CESQG has been
revised to describe all those si tuations where a generator would continue to be a CESQG.

## WHO MUST FILE THE 2015 HAZARDOUS WASTE REPO RT

W HO I S REQUIRED TO FILE THE HAZARDOUS WASTE R E PORT

You are required by Federal statute (mandatory reporting) to complete and file the 2015 Hazardous Waste Report (also known as the “Biennial Report”) or your State’s equivalent hazardous waste report if

you:

• Met the definition (see box below) of a RCRA Large Quantity Generator (LQG) during 2015 ; or

• Treated, stored, or disposed of RCRA hazardous wastes on

- site during 2015

.
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 FOR PURPOSES OF REPORTING

WHO MUST REPORT FOR CALENDAR YEAR 2015

You are a RCRA LQG for 2015 if you, by site

, generate any of the following amounts in a calendar month : ( i ) G reater than or equal to 1

, 000 kilograms ( kg; 2

, 200 pounds [ lbs ] ) of hazardous waste ; or ( ii ) G reater than 1 k g (2.2 lbs ) of any acute hazardous wastes listed in sections 261.31 or 261.33(e) ; or ( iii ) G reater than 100 k g (220 lbs ) of any residue or contaminated soil, waste, or other debris resulting from the cleanup of a spill, into or on any land or water, of any acute hazardous wastes listed in

sections 261.31 or 261.33(e)

.

Note: Although current RCRA regulations do not specifically define the term “ large quantity generator ” (LQG), they do define the terms “ conditionally exempt small quantity generator ” (CESQG) and “ small quantity generator “ (SQG). Thus, a LQG is a generator that is not a CESQG or SQG. F or purposes of clarity,

we describe above the situations when a site would be a LQG.

Also, you may be a CESQG or SQG (d efined below) and generate excess amounts of either acute hazardous waste or residue or contaminated soil containing acute hazardous wastes such that you become a LQG for the calendar month. In this case, you also would need to complete a Hazardous Waste Report.

No te: You will report your current Hazardous Waste Generator status as of the date of submitting your

2015 Hazardous W aste 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 2015 must be counted in determining your generator status if your site is the U.S. Importer. This waste must be reported on t he Waste Generation and Management Form (GM Form) or the Waste Received F rom Off

- site Form (WR Form) in your 2015 Hazardous Waste Report.

Note: Some States, as a matter of S tate law, require other categories of generators to report as well

. See
the discussion under “ STATE

- SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS

. ”

### SITES THAT SHOULD NO T FILE THE HAZARDOUS WASTE R E PORT

Do not file the 2015 Hazardous Waste Report if, during 2015 , your site was not a RCRA LQG (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 management units subject to a RCRA operating per mit. Exception: File the report if your State has more stringent reporting requirements. See “ STATE

- SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS ”
below.

If you are not required to report, you should notify us if your hazardous w aste generator status has changed; please fill out the RCRA Subtitle C Site Identification Form (Site ID Form) and submit it to your
State Office. See the “ ITEM

- BY

- ITEM INSTRUCTIONS ” for information on filling out the Site ID Form. Place an “X” in the box for Subsequent Notification in Item 1

– Reason for Submittal.

Unless required by your State, do not file the 2015 Hazardous Waste Report if, during 2015 , all of your
hazardous waste was exported directly out of the U.S. to a foreign country. Facilities that export hazardous waste must file a separate Annual Report under 40 CFR 262.56. (This Annual Report will be in addition to the Hazardous Waste Report, if your State requires you to submit a Hazardous Waste Report.)

STATE

- SPECIFIC REQUIREMENT S

States may impose reporting requirements above and beyond the Federal requirements. If your State does so, it will attach information to (or delete information from) this booklet. Alterna tively, some States use a modified version of this report or their own instructions and forms to fulfill their reporting requirements. Please contact your State office about State

- specific requirements. See the contacts list

at: http://www.epa.gov/epawaste/inforesources/data/form8700/contact.pdf

WHICH FOR MS TO SUBMIT AND WHA T TO REPORT

The 2015 Hazardous Waste Report contains the following four forms:

SITE ID FORM

A site required to file the 2015 Hazardous Waste Report MUST submit the RCRA Subtitle C Site Identification Form (Site ID Form) as a component o f the Report.

You will report that you are submitting the Site ID F orm as part of the 2015 Hazardous Waste Report in

Item 1

– Reason for Submittal. Mark “As a component of the Hazardous Waste Report (If marked, see
sub

- bullet below)” and mark the sub

- bull et, if the status is applicable to you during the 2015 reporting

year.

You will fill out the Site ID F orm by reporting all information current as of the date of submitting your

2015 Hazardous Waste Report. This includes reporting your current Hazardous Wa ste Generator status in Item 10.A.1 (Generator of Hazardous Waste), which may have changed since 2015

.
Facilities that will begin managing, are managing, or will stop managing hazardous secondary material under 40 CFR 261.2(a)(2)(ii), 40 CFR 261.4(a)(23), (24), or (25) must submit the Addendum to the Site
Identification Form as a component of the Hazardous Waste Report pursuant to 40 CFR 260.42. These regulations exclude certain hazardous secondary material(s) being reclaimed from the RCRA Subtitle C
defin ition of solid waste provided certain requirements and conditions are met.

GM FORM

A site required to file the 2015 Hazardous Waste Report must submit Waste Generation and Management Form(s) (GM Form(s)) for all hazardous waste that was used to determine the site’s generator status. Hazardous waste must be reported if it was:

• Generated and accumulated on

- site and subsequently managed on

- site or shipped off

- site in

2015 ; or

• Generated and accumulated on

- site in 2015 but not managed on

- site or shipped off

ELECTRONIC REPORTING

The EPA encourages electronic reporting of Hazardous Wa ste Reports. To obtain instructions on how to file electronically, contact your State or EPA Regional Office.

CONFIDENTIAL BUSINES S INFORMATION (CBI)

You may not withhold information from the Administrator of the EPA because it is confidential.
However, when the Administrator is requested to consider information confidential, it must be treated according to the EPA regulations contained in 40 CFR Part 2, Subpart B. These regulations provide that a business may, if it desires, assert a claim of business confidentiality covering all or part of the information furnished to the EPA. 40 CFR 2.203(b) explains how to assert a claim.

The EPA will treat information covered by such a claim in accordance with the procedures set forth in 40 CFR Part 2, Subpart B. If someone requests release of information covered by a claim of confidentiality,
or if the EPA otherwise decides to make a determination as to whether such information is entitled to confidential treatment, the EPA will notify the business. The EPA will not disclose information as to when a claim of confidentiality has been made except to the extent of and in accordance with 40 CFR Part 2, Subpart B. However, if the business does not claim confidentiality when it furnishes the information, the EPA may ma ke the information available to the public without notice to the business.

IF YOU NEED ASSISTANCE

To obtain assistance in filling out the 2015 Hazardous Waste Report forms, please contact your State or EPA Regional Office.

Identification Number for that location. If your business moves to another location, the owner or operator must notify the State or EPA Regional Office of this change. Since your business has changed locations, a new EPA Identification Number will be assigned.

ITEM 10

– TYPE OF REGULATED WASTE ACTI VITY

Mark box “Yes” or box “No” as appropriate for all current activities (as of the date submitting the form) at this site; complete any additional boxes as instructed. Current activities mean activities that
are in effect when the fo rm is submitted or those that the site plans to begin after EPA Identification Number assignment. The information you provide in Item 10 will be considered current as of the date you certify the form. If the site is no longer a generator as of the date y ou certify the form, you should mark the “No” (not a generator) box for Generator of Hazardous Waste.

NOTE You must report your current regulated waste activities as of the date of submitting the Site ID Form. For the Hazardous Waste Report, your curre nt status may be different than the status requiring the report during the calendar year.

A. HAZARDOUS WASTE ACTI VITIES (COMPLETE ALL PARTS 1 THROUGH 10)

NOTE Listed below are the Federal generator status definitions. If, however, the State where your site is located has definitions different from the Federal definitions, you must use the State
definitions.

1. GENERATOR OF HAZARDOUS WASTE ( AT YOUR SITE):

If you generate a hazardous waste that is listed in 40 CFR 261.31 through 261.33 or identified by one or more hazardous waste characteristic(s) contained in 40 CFR 261.21 through 261.24, place an “X” in the appropriate box for the quantity of hazardous waste that is generated per calendar month. The regulations for hazardous waste generators are found in 40 CFR 261.5 for conditionally exempt small quantity generators (CESQGs) and in 40 CFR Part 262 for both small quantity generators (SQGs) and large quantity generators ( LQGs ) . Consult these regul ations and your State for details about how the regulations apply to your situat ion. Below is a brief description of the three types of hazardous waste
generators.

( Go to Table of Contents )Site ID Form (continued)

19 

### If “Yes”, place an “X” in only one of the following

– a, b, or c.

a. LQG: Large Quantity Generator For purposes of providing information in this report

, th e site is a Large Quantity Generator (LQG) if the site generates any of the following amounts in a calendar month : (i) Greater than or equal to 1,000 kilograms ( kg; 2,200 pounds [ lbs ] ) of non

- acute RCRA hazardous
waste; or (ii) Greater than 1 kg (2.2 lbs) of any RCRA acute hazardous waste listed in sections 261.31 or 261.33(e) ; or (iii) Greater than 100 kg (220 lbs) of any residue or contaminated soil, waste, or other debris resulting from the cleanup of a spill, into or on any land or water, of any acute hazardous wastes
listed in sections 261.31 or 261.33(e).

NOTE As discussed earlier, a RCRA LQG is a site that is neither a CESQG nor a SQG

. F or purposes of clarity, we describe above the situations when a site would be a LQG.

If, in addition to being a LQG, you recycle hazardous wastes at your site, mark both this box
and Item 10.A.4.

Hazardous secondary material managed under 40 CFR 261.2(a)(2)(ii), 40 CFR 261.4(a)(23), (24), or (25) DOES NOT count towards your generator status. However, you must check with your State to determine if you are eligible to manage hazardous secondary mate rial under these
exclusions.

b. SQG: Small Quantity Generator

This site is a SQG if the site meets all of the following criteria: (i) 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 (ii) Does not generate, in any calendar month, more than 1 kg (2.2 lbs.) of acute hazardous waste
listed in sections 261.31 or 261.33(e) ; and (iii) Does not generate more than 100 kg (220 lbs) of material from the cleanup of any residue or contaminated soil, waste, o r other debris resulting from the cleanup of a spill, into or on any land or water, of any acute hazardous wastes listed in sections 261.31 or 261.33(e).

NOTE The definition of a SQG found at 40 CFR 260.10 is outdated. The EPA plans to make the appropriate conforming change in the future. Moreover, here in this document, for purposes of clarity, we include those situations where a SQG also may have generated amounts of acute hazardous wastes and still maintain its regulatory status as a SQG.

( Go to Table of Contents )Site ID Form (continued)

20 

### c. CESQG: Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generator
This site is a CESQG if the site generates less than or equal to the following amounts in a calendar
month: (i) 100 k g (220 lbs) of hazardous waste; and (ii) 1 kg (2.2 lbs) of acute hazardous wastes listed in sections 261.31, or 261.33(e); and (iii) 100 k g (220 lbs) of any residue or contaminated soil, waste, or other debris resulting from the cleanup of a spill, into or on any land or water, of any acute hazardous wastes listed in sections 261.31, or 261.33(e)

.

NOTE A CESQG is defined at 40 CFR 261.5(a) as a site that generates less than or equal to 100 k g (220 lbs ) of hazardous waste. However, the regulations at 40 CFR 261.5(e) discuss situations where a CESQG could be subject to full regulation. For purposes of clarity, we describe all those situations where a site continues to be a CESQG.

If you generate acute hazardous wastes list ed in 40 CFR 261.31, 261.32, or 261.33 (e) , please refer to 40 CFR 261.5( e ) to determine the circumstances under which you must notify the EPA.

If you marked “Yes” above, indicate your other generator activities. Mark “Yes” or “No” for the other hazardous waste activities listed below that may occur at this site. Complete all parts 2

- 10.

2. SHORT

- TERM GENERATORS

Mark “Yes” if the site is currently generating hazardous waste only as the result of a one

- time, non

recurring, temporary event that is not related to normal production processes. In other words, short

term generators produce hazardous waste from a particular activity for a limited time and then cease conducting that activity. Short

- term generators would not be considered episodic generators because episodic generators have the potential to generate on a regular basis (for example, a facility that fluctuates from SQG to LQG in one month is not a short

- term generator). Examples of short

- term generators include: ( 1) one

- time highway bridge waste generation; ( 2) underground storage tank removals; ( 3) generation of off

- spec o r out

- of

- date chemicals at a site that normally doesn’t generate
haza rdous waste; ( 4) remediation or spill clean

- up at sites with no previous RCRA EPA Identification
Number ; and ( 5) site or production process decommissions by a new operator. If you mark “Yes”, you

must provide an explanation of your short

- term generation e vent in Item 13

– Comments.

3. UNITED STATES IMPORT ER OF HAZARDOUS WAST E

Mark “Yes” if you import hazardous waste from a foreign country into the U.S . Refer to 40 CFR 262.60
for additional information.

( Go to Table of Contents )Site ID Form (continued)

21

### ITEM 3

– FACILITY HAS FINANCI AL ASSURANCE P URSUANT TO 40 CFR 26 1.4( A )(24)( VI )

Financial assurance is required for reclaimers (07, 11) and intermediate (08) facilities managing hazardous secondary material under 40 CFR 261.4(a)(24) and (25). See EPA’s website for more information about these regulations: http://www.epa.gov/epawaste/hazard/dsw/impresource.htm

.

• Mark “Yes”, if you have financial assurance pursuant to 40 CFR 261.4(a)(24)(vi) AND you use at least one facility code that is 07, 08, or 11 in It em 2.a above. For example, the facilities in Examples 3 and 5 above 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 40 CFR 261.4(a)(24)(vi). Note: Reclaimers (07, 11) and intermediate (08) facilities must have financial assurance in order to manage hazardous secondary 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 required to have financial assurance because these facilities did not report facility codes of 07, 08, or 11.

### WASTES TO BE R E PORTED

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 2015 Hazardous Waste Report. See
also the reference document “ Biennial Reporting: Reportable and Non

- Rep ortable Wastes ” at : http://www.epa.gov/epawaste/inforesources/data/biennialreport/index.htm

.
A GM Form must be submitted for each generated RCRA hazardous waste. Haza rdous waste must be reported if it was:

• Generated on

- site and subsequently managed on

- site or shipped off

- site in 2015 ; or

• Generated on

- site in 2015 but not managed on

- site or shipped off

- site until after 2015 ; or

• Generated on

- site prior to 2015 but eit her managed on

- site or shipped off

- site in 2015 ; or

• Imported from a foreign country in 2015

.
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, spill cleanup, or remedial cleanup activity.

• Removed from on

- site storage.

• Derived from the management of non

- hazardous waste.

36 

### WASTES NOT TO BE REPORTED

RCRA hazardous wastes exported directly to a foreign country should not be reported on the GM Form (unless required by your State). Facilities that export hazardous waste must file a separate Annual Report under 40 CFR 262.56. (This Annual Repor t will be in addition to the Hazardous Waste Report, if your State requires you to submit a Hazardous Waste Report.)

In addition, materials and 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 F orm. 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 determination, even if these hazardous wastes were generated at the site.

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 waste, e.g., any m ixture 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 hazardous waste, e.g., petroleum

- contaminated media and debris that fail the test for toxicity characteristic (waste codes D018 through D043 only) and are subject to the corrective action regulations under 40 CFR Part 280. (40 CFR 261.4(b))

• Waste e xempt 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
characteristi c or composition, as specified in 261.4(d). (40 CFR 261.5(c)(1))

• Sample(s) undergoing treatability studies, as specified 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 material 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 container or in an inner liner remov ed from an empty container, as specified in 261.7(a)(1). (40 CFR 261.5(c)(1))

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

( Go to Table of Contents )GM Form (continued)

37 

### • 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 26 1.5(c)(2)) Any hazardous waste residues generated from these units, however, must be reported on the GM Form. (For additional information, see the reference document “Biennial Report: Reportable and Non

- Reportable Wastes” at http://www.epa.gov/epawaste/inforesources/data/biennialreport/index.htm .)

• 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 hazardous waste solely because it exhibits a hazardous
waste characteristic and is managed under 40 CFR Part 279. (40 CFR 261.5(c)(4))

• Spent lead

- acid batteries managed under the requirements of 40 CFR Part 266, Subpart G, which includes persons who reclaim spent lead

- acid batteries that are recyclable materials; persons who gen erate, transport, or collect spent batteries; persons who regenerate spent 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 reclamation, howev er, must be reported on the GM Form.

• 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.

• Unless required by your State, hazardous wastes that were, during 2015

, all exported directly
out of the U.S. to a foreign country. An Annual Report must be filed in this case as required under 40 CFR 262.56. (This Annual Report will be in addition to the Hazardous Waste Report, if your State requires you to submit a Hazardous Waste Report.)

blocks for On

- site Process Systems below. If you marked “No,” skip to Section 3.

( Go to Table of Contents )GM Form (continued)

42 

### EXAMPLE 1

Facility A gene rates spent solvents that it recycles on

- site in a distillation column. This facility would
mark “Yes” in Section 2 and would fill out the on

- site process system box accordingly.

EXAMPLE 2

Facility B receives spent solvents from off

- site and blends the so lvents into fuel. The facility then sends
the fuels off

- site to be burned for energy recovery. Facility B would report on its GM Form the new waste generated in Section 1

– Item D as Source Code G25 (Hazardous Waste Management) with the management method code of H061 (Fuel Blending). Facility B would mark “No” in Section 2 because it did not manage any of the newly generated fuels on

- site. This facility would report the off

- site shipment in Section 3 and would report the Management Method Code H050 (Ene rgy Recovery).

ON

- SITE MANAGEMENT METH OD CODE

Classify the process system (see definition) with a Management Method Code that best identifies the last substantive purpose/operation performed at your site. Space is provided to report up to two
different (non

- sequential) Management Methods. If you did not use a second on

- site process system to manage the waste, leave the Management Method Code under On

- site Process System 2 blank. Do not report H141 in Section 2.

LIST For a list of Management Method Codes, see the “ OTHER REFERENCE INFORMATION AND CODE

LISTS 

### ” 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 than one process system during 2015 . Use the second

on

- site 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; o r

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

EXAMPLE OF NON

- SEQUENTIAL (PARALLEL ) PROCESSES

A firm generated 100 tons of F002 solvent waste in 2015 . 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. Under On

- site Proce ss System 1, the site enters the Management Method Code H020 (Distillation) and a quantity of 80 tons. Under On

- site Process System 2, the site enters the

( Go to Table of Contents )GM Form (continued)

43 

### Management Method Code H050 (Energy Recovery) and a quantity of 20 tons. The 5 tons of still
bottom s should be reported on a separate GM Form.

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 with the EPA I dentification number and

Site Name . Leave all the other fields blank, 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 FORMS ” for information on 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 residual gener ated 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 in the “ OTHER REFERENCE

INFORMATION AND CODE LISTS 

### ” section of this booklet ). Report only process systems, not process units.

EXAMPLE OF SEQUENTIA L PROCESSES

A firm generated 100 tons of D002 and D007 plating waste in 2015 . 100 tons were neutralized, stored

on

- site, and then chemically batch

- treated to remove the D007 (Chromium). 90 tons of wastewater and 10 tons of D007 and F006 sludge were shipped off

- site for eventual disposal. Under On

- site Process System 1, the site enters the last substantive on

- site Ma nagement Method Code H070 (Chemical Treatment) and a quantity of 100 tons. The site reports the residual 10 tons of sludge on a separate GM
Form with Section 1

– Item D Management Method Code H070 (Chemical Treatment). (If there was no storage and the wa stewater had been allowed to go into the POTW or NPDES, this page would not be reported, only the D007 and F006 sludge

– with a source code of G23.)

QUANTITY TREATED, DI SPOSED, OR RECYCLED ON

- SITE IN 2015

Enter the quantity of hazardous waste described in Section 1 that was treated, disposed, or recycled by the reported on

- site process management method during 2015

. Enter the quantity in the same unit of measure reported in Section 1

P URPOSE OF THIS F ORM

The WR Form identifies hazardous wastes that were received from other hazardous waste sites and the method(s) used to manage them. The WR Form is divided 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 2015 and managed on

- site.

H OW T O F ILL O UT T HIS F ORM

You may report waste r eceived from more than one off

- 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 may be aggregated as long as a single form code describes the physical form or chemical composition, and 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 hazardous wastes from off

- site handlers durin g 2015

, 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 the form or, if you did not receive pre

### adjustment, chemical precipitation, flocculation, clarification/settling, and dewatering of the sludge
removed from the bottom of the clarifier. The chemical precipitation process best identifies the last purpose of this treatment system

– to remove metals from the wastewater. If this wastewater treatment system is RCRA

- regulated, it would be reported as H07 0 (Chemical Treatment ). If the sludge will be dispos ed 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 exempt if the treated water flows to a POTW or a NPDES outfall with no

### – 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 no t 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 exhibits 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 CF R 261.6(a)(4))

### – Groundwater contaminated by RCRA hazardous

waste is not considered a solid waste and is, therefore, not classified as a hazardous waste. However, because hazardous waste is “contained in” the gr oundwater, it must be treated “as if” it were a RCRA hazardous waste if it is removed for treatment, storage, or disposal. 1 

### When reporting groundwater contaminated by hazardous waste in the 2015 Hazardous Waste Report, observe the following conventions:

(1) Enter “0” in the GM Form, Section 1

– Item F (Quantity). Explain in the Comments section that it is groundwater, not a hazardous waste that was generated on

- site.

(2) Report quantities managed on

- site (GM Form, Section 2, On

- site Process Systems 1 and 2);

q uantities shipped off

- site for management (GM Form, Section 3); and quantities received from
off

- site and managed on

- site (WR Form, Item E).

1 To determine if the contaminated media must be reported at all (generated OR treated): If the contamination is due to a char acteristic waste, then it is the generator’s responsibility to determine if the contaminated groundwater is a hazardous waste. Onc e the characteristics are eliminated, the media is no longer considered to “contain” hazardous waste. If a facility has first removed groundwater and is claiming that the groundwater is contaminated with a listed hazardous waste or “contains” listed hazar dous waste, EPA Regions or Authorized States should
make a site

- specific determination of whether the media is a RCRA Waste. Please see: “Management of Remediation Waste Under RCRA,”

### – The following rules apply to the reporting of lab pack wastes in the 2015 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 landfills 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 It em 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 haza rdous waste 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 I tem 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.

“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 Sections 2 or 3 of the GM Form as appropriate.

Laboratory waste that is generated during routine operations (e.g., spent solvents or spent acids/bases) should be reported se parately from Subpart K laboratory clean

- out wastes. Routinely generated laboratory waste should be reported with source code(s) other than G17.

facilities som etimes receive hazardous waste from large numbers of CESQGs or other sites 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 sites , 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 Management Method code (Item H).

(2) Wastes received from different States must be report ed 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 from several CESQGs in the State of Ala ska (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

Additionally, you may explain in the Comments section why your efforts were either successful or unsuccessful or why you did not implement waste min imization efforts for this reporting year.

The facility initiated waste minimization efforts prior to 2015 and continued these efforts during the 2015 reporting year for this hazardous waste

Code Description Examples

A Continued initiatives to reduce quantity and/or toxicity of this waste • Improved production/synthesis processes, e.g., increased efficiency in product usage/product formulation, used less

toxic or non

- hazardous ingredients, modified product composition, or implemented technology conversio n.

• Modified equipment, layout, and/or piping, e.g., longer

auto bath analyzers, wastewater treatment system upgraded.

• Undertook inventory control/waste management processes

or safety/good operating practices, e.g., materials shelf

- life control, clearinghou se for materials exchange, better labeling procedures, improved maintenance scheduling/record keeping/procedures, control production schedule to minimize equipment and feedstock changeovers, bulk systems that replace drums, improved storage, spill/leak/acc ident prevention, cleaning/degreasing, etc.

B Continued initiatives to recycle the waste either on

site or off

- site The waste was used, reused, or reclaimed as a result of a change in the product formulation, product’s chemical ingredients, or equipment; materials management process with a goal of sustainable use of materials, etc.

The facility initiated waste minimization efforts during the 2015 reporting year for this hazardous waste

C Implemented new initiatives to reduce quantity and/or toxicity of this waste See examples above for Code A.

D Implemented new initiatives to recycle the waste
either on

- site or off

- site See examples above for Code B.

The facility examined or attempted waste minimization efforts for this hazardous waste, but determined it was impracticable to implement these efforts; or the facility did not attempt waste minimization efforts for this

waste

N Waste minimization efforts found to be economically or technically impracticable Economic constraints or not economically feasible; technical limitations of manufacturing operations, problems preventing or halting efforts (e.g., concern of declined product quality); not appearing to be feasible due to regulatory issues (e.g., permitting requirements or burdens); lack of avail able technology, etc.

X No waste minimization efforts were implemented
for this waste The waste was received from off

- site and was not generated at this location; the waste is infrequently generated.
