2005 Hazardous Waste Report

Instructions and Forms

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

or disposal facilities. 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 year [EPA Form 8700-13 A/B](also known as the Biennial Report).

Both RCRA Sections 3002 and 3004 require 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 Parts 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(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 waste, 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. 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 desired effect on the

generation and management of hazardous waste. For example, Biennial Report data provides information on whether

waste management has shifted from 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 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 EPA will treat the information in

accordance with the confidentiality regulations in 40 CFR Part 2, Subpart B. EPA also ensures that the information

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 18.26 hours per response. The annual reporting burden is estimated to average 16.70 hours

per response including time for reviewing instructions, gathering data, completing and reviewing the forms, and

submitting the report. The annual recordkeeping requirement is estimated to average 1.56 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 burden 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 RCRA-2005-0003, which is available for public

viewing at the RCRA Docket in the EPA Docket Center (EPA/DC), EPA West, Room B102, 1301 Constitution Ave.,

NW, Washington, DC. The EPA Docket Center Public Reading Room is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday

through Friday, 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/edocket

 Use EDOCKET to submit or view public comments, access the index listing of the contents of the public docket,

and to access those 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 Management and Budget, 725 17th Street, NW, Washington, DC 20503,

Attention: Desk Office for EPA. Please include the EPA Docket ID Number RCRA-2005-0003 and OMB Control

Number 2050-0024 in any correspondence.

PURPOSE OF THE 2005 HAZARDOUS WASTE REPORT

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) 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 nation'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 for calendar year 2005. The

information collected will:

# Provide the EPA and the States with an understanding of hazardous waste generation and

management in the United States.

# Help the EPA measure the quality of the environment, 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

2005 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 2005 Hazardous Waste Report forms, please carefully read the instructions

in this booklet.

IF YOU NEED ASSISTANCE

To obtain assistance in filling out the 2005 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

NOTE:

WHO MUST FILE THE 2005 HAZARDOUS WASTE REPORT

SITES REQUIRED TO FILE THE HAZARDOUS WASTE REPORT

You are required by Federal statute (mandatory reporting) to complete and file the 2005 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

2005; AND/OR

# Treated, stored, or disposed of RCRA hazardous wastes on site during 2005.

If you are required to report, see WHICH FORMS TO SUBMIT AND WHAT TO REPORT

on page 2 to determine which forms you must submit.

DEFINITION OF A RCRA LARGE QUANTITY GENERATOR

WHO MUST REPORT FOR CALENDAR YEAR 2005

A site is a RCRA Large Quantity Generator (LQG) for 2005 if the site met any of the following

criteria:

(a) The site generated, in any single calendar month, 1,000 kg (2,200 lbs) or more of

RCRA 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 month, or accumulated at any time, more

than 100 kg (220 lbs) of spill cleanup material contaminated with RCRA acute

hazardous waste.

You will report your current Hazardous Waste Generator status as of the

date of submitting your 2005 Hazardous Waste Report on the Site

Identification Form in Item 10.A.1 - Generator of Hazardous Waste. Your

status may have changed since 2005.

Hazardous waste imported from a foreign country in 2005 must be counted in

determining your generator status if your site is the U.S. Importer. This waste

must be reported on Form GM or Form WR in your 2005 Hazardous Waste

Report. 
iv

SITES THAT SHOULD NOT FILE THE HAZARDOUS WASTE REPORT

Do not file the 2005 Hazardous Waste Report if, during 2005, your site was not a RCRA Large Quantity

Generator (your site did not meet any of the LQG criteria in the box above) AND did not treat, store, or

dispose of RCRA hazardous wastes on site.

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 Identification Form and submit it to your State Office. 

See page 7 for instructions on filling out the Site Identification Form. Mark the box for Subsequent

Notification of Regulated Waste Activity in Item 1 - Reason for Submittal.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR FILING

THE 2005 HAZARDOUS WASTE REPORT

INTRODUCTION

The instructions and forms for the 2005 Hazardous Waste Report are prepared by the U.S. Environmental

Protection Agency (EPA) for generators and for treatment, storage, and disposal facilities (TSDFs) to

report their hazardous waste activities for 2005.

AUTHORITY

The authority for the 2005 Hazardous Waste Report is contained in Sections 3002 and 3004 of the

Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA), as amended by the Hazardous and Solid

Waste Amendments of 1984 (HSWA). Section 3002 requires hazardous waste generators to report to the

EPA or the authorized States, at least every two years, the quantities, nature, and disposition of generated

hazardous waste. Under the authority of Section 3004, the EPA requires reporting by treatment, storage,

and disposal facilities for the wastes they receive.

OVERVIEW OF THE 2005 HAZARDOUS WASTE REPORT

To determine if you are required to file the Hazardous Waste Report, read WHO MUST FILE THE

2005 HAZARDOUS WASTE REPORT on pages iii and iv.

CHANGES TO THE 2005 HAZARDOUS WASTE REPORT, on page 2, summarizes the primary

changes that have been made to the 2005 Hazardous Waste Report forms and instructions.

WHICH FORMS TO SUBMIT AND WHAT TO REPORT, on pages 2 and 3 , describes

circumstances and situations under which each of the forms should be completed.

FILLING OUT THE FORMS, on pages 3 to 5, provide general guidelines for filling out the Hazardous

Waste Report forms. This includes where to find the telephone number for the State Contacts, which you

can call with questions about completing the Hazardous Waste Report.

WHEN AND WHERE TO FILE, on page 6, provides the filing date and details the procedures for

obtaining an extension of the filing date for your site’s Hazardous Waste Report. The address for the

State or EPA Regional Office to which you should send the Hazardous Waste Report is specified in other

information sent to you with this booklet. There also is a complete listing of the Contacts for each State

on the Internet at - http://www.epa.gov/epaoswer/hazwaste/data/br05/forms.htm

CHANGES IN THE 2005 HAZARDOUS WASTE REPORT

EPA made significant modifications to the Hazardous Waste Report for the 2001 submission based on a

lengthy study of the information needs of EPA and State hazardous waste programs. Those changes were

made to improve the consistency, accuracy, and reliability of the data. EPA has not made any changes in

reporting requirements and forms for this 2005 report; there are some minor editorial changes. You can

find information about the previous 2001 and 2003 in the booklets at -

http://www.epa.gov/epaoswer/hazwaste/data/biennialreport/index.htm

WHICH FORMS TO SUBMIT AND WHAT TO REPORT

The 2005 Hazardous Waste Report contains the following four forms:

Site ID Form A site required to file the 2005 Hazardous Waste Report must submit the RCRA Subtitle

C Site ID Form (Site ID Form) as a component of the Report.

You will report your current Hazardous Waste Generator status as of the date of 

submitting your 2005 Hazardous Waste Report on the Site Identification Form in Item

10.A.1 - Generator of Hazardous Waste. Your status may have changed since 2005

Instructions for the Site ID Form begin on page 7.

Form GM A site required to file the 2005 Hazardous Waste Report must submit Form GM 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 2005; or

# Generated and accumulated on site in 2005 but not managed on site or shipped off

site until after 2005; or

# Generated and accumulated on site prior to 2005 but either managed on site or

shipped off site in 2005; or

# Imported from a foreign country in 2005.

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;

# Shipped off site, including hazardous waste that was received from off site (reported

on the Waste Received from Off Site Form (Form WR)) and subsequently shipped

off site without being treated or recycled on site;

# Removed from on-site storage for treating, recycling, or disposing on site or shipped

off site.
INSTRUCTIONS

(Continued)

# Derived from the management of non-hazardous waste; or

# Derived from the on-site treatment (including reclamation), disposal, or recycling of

previously existing hazardous waste (as a residual).

DO NOT submit a Form GM for any hazardous waste shipped directly to a foreign

country. An Annual Report must be filed in this case as required under 40 CFR 262.56. 

Instructions for Form GM begin on page 18.

Form WR A site required to file the 2005 Hazardous Waste Report must submit Form WR if, during

2005, it received RCRA hazardous waste from off site and managed the waste on site

(including subsequent transfer off-site).

Instructions for Form WR begin on page 27.

Form OI A site must complete Form OI only if the site’s State requires it. Instructions for Form

OI are on the back of the form.

PAGE NUMBERING OF FORMS

When you have filled out all the appropriate forms in your Hazardous Waste Report submission, number

the pages (each piece of paper is a page) consecutively throughout your submission. Do not number each

set of forms separately, but rather number each page sequentially. The individual page number and the

total number of pages in your submission should appear at the bottom of each page (e.g., Page 1 of 7,

Page 2 of 7).

If it is necessary to continue information from one form onto another page, make additional copies of the

form and number the additional pages with the same page number as the first page, followed by a letter

(e.g., page 27, page 27a; page 28, page 28a, 28b). When continuing information on a supplemental page,

enter only the information that is being continued.

PHOTOCOPIES OF FORMS

A single copy of each form is included in this booklet. Photocopy as many forms as you need to

complete your Hazardous Waste Report. Make copies after you have attached the pre-printed site

identification label or entered the site name and EPA Identification Number in the top left-hand corner of

the form, but before you begin filling out the form.

After you have finished filling out the forms, photocopy the entire Hazardous Waste Report and keep a

copy for a period of at least three years from the due date of the report as required by 40 CFR 262.40(b).

ELECTRONIC REPORTING

The EPA encourages electronic reporting of Hazardous Waste Reports. To obtain instructions on how to

file electronically, contact your State or EPA Regional Office.

CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS 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 Title 40 of the 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

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

make the information available to the public without notice to the business.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR FILLING OUT FORM GM –

WASTE GENERATION AND MANAGEMENT

WHO MUST SUBMIT THIS FORM

A site required to file the 2005 Hazardous Waste Report must submit Form GM if the site generated RCRA

hazardous waste that, in 2005, was accumulated on site; managed on site in a treatment, storage, or disposal

unit; and/or shipped off site for management, consistent with the criteria below. (See WASTES TO BE

REPORTED, below, for specific instructions on generated RCRA hazardous wastes that should be reported

on Form GM. See WASTES NOT TO BE REPORTED, below, for any exclusions or exemptions from

Form GM reporting requirements under the 2005 Hazardous Waste Report.)

PURPOSE OF THIS FORM

Form GM is for reporting on-site hazardous waste generation and management in 2005. Form GM is divided

into three sections that document 1) the source, characteristics, and quantity of hazardous waste generated;

2) the quantity of hazardous waste 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 Form GM 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 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 section number and box

letter to which the comment refers.

NOTE Refer to the Special Instructions beginning on page 45 for reporting lab packs, asbestos, PCBs,

waste oils, groundwater contaminated by leachate, and RCRA-radioactive mixed 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 Form GM. (See WASTES NOT TO BE REPORTED, below, for any exclusions or

exemptions from Form GM reporting requirements under the 2005 Hazardous Waste Report.)

A Form GM 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

2005; or
FORM GM

(Continued)

19

# Generated and accumulated on site in 2005 but not managed on site or shipped off site until

after 2005; or

# Generated and accumulated on site prior to 2005 but either managed on site or shipped off

site in 2005; or

# Imported from a foreign country in 2005.

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.

# Derived from the on-site treatment (including reclamation), 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 (Form WR)) and subsequently shipped off site without

being treated or recycled on site.

Radioactive wastes mixed with RCRA hazardous wastes should also be reported; be sure to mark

“Yes” on the Site Identification Form in Item 10.A.1.e. See the definitions on pages 39, 42, and 43

and see the special instructions on page 46.

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 Form GM.

Rather, hazardous waste exports should be reported on the Annual Report required under 40 CFR 262.56.

In addition, materials and wastes identified at 40 CFR 261.4(a) and (b) and 261.5(c) should not be reported

on Form GM. 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 Form GM:

# Materials which are excluded from being a solid waste, 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 hazardous waste, e.g., petroleum-contaminated

media and debris that fail the test for the toxicity characteristic (Waste Codes D018
FORM GM

(Continued)

20

through D043 only) and are subject to the corrective action regulations 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 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 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 Control 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 Form GM.

# 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))

# 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 generate, 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,

however, must be reported on Form GM.

# Universal wastes managed under 40 CFR 261.9 and 40 CFR Part 273. (40 CFR 261.5(c)(6))

HOW TO REPORT SIMILAR WASTES ON FORM GM

On-site Process Systems 1 and 2:

On-site Management Method

Classify the process system (see definition on page 40) with a Management Method code that best

identifies the final substantive purpose/operation it performs. Space is provided to report up to two

different Management Methods. If you did not use a second on-site process system to manage the

waste, enter “NA” in the space for reporting the Management Method code under On-site Process

System 2.

LIST Management Method codes, page 55.

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 2005. Use the

second on-site process system only when:

# A waste is managed in one process system for part of a year and in another process system

for the rest of the year; or

# 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).

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 Form GM, leaving blank all entries except

Section 2 for on-site process systems. Note in the Comments section of each page: “Sec. 2, on-site

process system type continued on supplemental page.” (Refer to page 5 for 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 residual generated from management of the waste

by the first Management Method (on-site management of treatment residuals should be

reported on a separate Form GM); or

# To report treatment in a series of process units (see definition on page 40). Report only

process systems, not process units.
FORM GM

(Continued)

25

Quantity treated, disposed, or recycled on site in 2005

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 2005. Enter the quantity in the same

unit of measure reported in Section 1, Box H.

Example: A firm generated 100 tons of F002 solvent waste in 2005. 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.

Under On-site Process System 1, the site enters the 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 Form GM.

Section 3: Off-site Shipment of Hazardous Waste 

This section requests information on the off-site shipment of hazardous waste. Boxes B and D are mandatory

for such off-site shipment. Boxes A and C request non-mandatory information. Do report shipments of

previously generated hazardous wastes stored until 2005. Do report waste shipped via transfer facility. Do

not report shipments of decharacterized 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 2005, you need not complete

the entire form again. Simply attach a second copy of Form GM, leaving blank all entries except Section 3,

Boxes B, C, and D. Note in the Comments section of each page: “Sec. 3, Box B continued on supplemental

page.” (Refer to page 5 for instructions on page numbering of supplemental pages.)

Box A: Was any of this waste shipped off site in 2005 for treatment, disposal, or recycling?

Mark “Yes” or “No” to indicate if any of the waste described in Section 1 was shipped off site for

treatment, disposal, or recycling during 2005. While responding to Box A is not mandatory,

providing information for waste shipped off site is required.

a

This Form GM is complete if you marked “No” in Box A.

Continue to Box B if you marked “Yes” in Box A.

Box B: EPA ID No. of facility to which waste was shipped

Enter the 12-digit EPA Identification Number of the facility to which the waste was shipped. DO

NOT create a GM Form for hazardous waste shipped directly to a foreign country from this site. You

must complete an Annual Report as required under 40 CFR 262.56, no later than March 1 of each

year.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR FILLING OUT FORM WR –

WASTE RECEIVED FROM OFF SITE

WHO MUST SUBMIT THIS FORM

A site required to file the 2005 Hazardous Waste Report must submit this form if, during 2005, it received

RCRA hazardous waste from off site.

PURPOSE OF THIS FORM

Form WR identifies hazardous wastes that were received from other hazardous waste sites and the method(s)

used to manage them. Form WR 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 2005 and managed on site.

HOW TO FILL OUT THIS FORM

You may report waste received 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 during 2005, 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-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 box

letter to which the comment refers.

of hazard (ignitability), and generic chemical names (mineral spirits and kerosene) have all been

cited.

Box B: EPA hazardous waste code

Enter the EPA hazardous waste code(s) that applies to the waste reported in Box A. If you need

room for additional codes, list the codes in the Comments section and cross-reference the applicable

waste block number (e.g., Waste 1) and Box B. If fewer than four EPA hazardous waste codes are

applicable, enter “NA” in the remaining spaces. If the waste is regulated only by your State, enter

“NA” in Box B and report the State hazardous waste codes in Box C.

LIST EPA Hazardous Waste Codes, page 49.

Box C: State hazardous waste code

Enter the State hazardous waste code(s) that applies to the waste reported in Box A, if:

# Your State regulates hazardous wastes not regulated as RCRA hazardous wastes, and

requires these wastes to be reported in the 2005 Hazardous Waste Report; or

# Your State uses a hazardous waste code system other than the EPA hazardous waste codes

that applies to the waste described in Box A.

Otherwise, leave Box C blank. If you need space for additional State hazardous waste codes, list the

defined in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), the appropriate citation is provided.

Accumulation A site that does not hold RCRA Interim Status or a RCRA permit may

accumulate hazardous waste for a short period of time before shipping it

off site. The waste must be accumulated in either tanks or containers; it

may not be accumulated in surface impoundments.

Generators of more than 1,000 kg (2,200 lbs) of hazardous waste per

month may accumulate their waste for up to 90 days before shipping it

off site. Generators of 100 kg (220 lbs) to 1,000 kg (2,200 lbs) of

hazardous waste per month may accumulate their waste for up to 180

days before shipping it off site. If the nearest treatment, storage,

disposal, or recycling facility to which they can send their waste is more

than 200 miles away, they may accumulate their waste for 270 days. See

40 CFR 262.34.

it moves from the generator to the transporter and eventually to the

hazardous waste management facility.

Mixed Waste Waste that contains both hazardous and source, special nuclear, or byproduct material subject to the Atomic Energy Act (AEA), RCRA

section 1004(41), 42 U.S.C. 6903 (63 FR 17414; April 9, 1998).

includes the property owner. This may be an individual, company, or

business name. See Person.

Person An individual, trust, firm, joint stock company, Federal Agency,

corporation (including a government corporation), partnership,

association, State, municipality, commission, political subdivision of a

State, or any interstate body.
DEFINITIONS

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 other 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. For

example, a process system to remove dissolved metals from wastewater

prior to shipping the sludge off site typically includes equalization, pH

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 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 sludge 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 exempt if the treated water

flows to a POTW or a NPDES outfall with no RCRA-regulated storage

or treatment units in the system, and should not be reported. A listing of

Management Method codes begins on page 55.

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.

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, storage, disposal, recycling, and/or

transportation of solid and hazardous waste.

RCRA Interim (Permit)

Status

Refer to “Interim (Permit) Status” definition on page 38.

RCRA Permit A complete RCRA permit is comprised 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.
DEFINITIONS

(Continued)

41

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 or processing hazardous waste; large quantity

handler of or destination facility for universal wastes; disposing

hazardous waste with an underground injection permit; the transportation

(and temporary storage during transportation), processing/re-refining,

burning, or marketing of used oil; or undergoing corrective action. 

A site may consist of several treatment, storage, or disposal operational

units. For entities that only transport regulated 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 or reused” if it is either: (1) employed as an ingredient (including

use as an intermediate) in an industrial process to make a product (e.g.,

distillation bottoms from one process used as feedstock in another

process) (40 CFR 261.1(c)(5)). However, a material will not satisfy this

condition if distinct components of the material are recovered as separate

end products (as when metals are recovered from metal-containing

secondary materials); or (2) employed in a particular function or

application as an effective substitute for 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 treatment, 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 a calendar month, more than 100 kg (220 lbs.) but

less than 1,000 kg (2,200 lbs.) of RCRA hazardous waste, during

one or more months in a year; and

2. Generates, in a calendar month, or accumulates at any time, no

more than 1 kg (2.2 lbs.) of acute hazardous waste and no more

than 100 kg (220 lbs.) of material from the cleanup of a spill of

acute hazardous waste.

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

1. Meets all other criteria for a Conditionally Exempt Small

Quantity Generator, but 

2. Accumulates, at any time, more than 1,000 kg (2,200 lbs.) of

hazardous waste.

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), operators or owners of smelting, melting, and

refining furnaces that process hazardous wastes solely for metals

recovery are conditionally exempt from regulation, except for 40 CFR

266.101 and 266.112, provided they comply with limited requirements

set forth in Section 266.100(c). Similarly, 40 CFR 266.100(f) provides

that operators or owners 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); industrial 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 also page 33). 

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, or

any other material determined by the 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.
DEFINITIONS

(Continued)

43

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 Commission, pursuant to the provisions of 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.

Superfund The program operated under the legislative 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 materials (though it may be lined with

man-made materials) that is designed to accumulate liquid wastes or

wastes containing free liquids, and that is not an injection well (40 CFR

260.10).

Transfer Facility Any transportation-related facility including loading docks, parking

areas, storage areas, and other similar areas where shipments of

hazardous waste are held during the normal course of transportation (40

CFR 260.10).

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. Underground injection wells are

regulated under both the Safe Drinking Water Act and the Resource

Conservation and Recovery Act (see 40 CFR Part 148).

Unit Refer to “Process Unit” definition on page 40.

United States Importer Any person who imports hazardous waste from a foreign country into the

United States. This does not include hazardous waste shipped from a

chemical impurities.
DEFINITIONS

(Continued)

44

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

1. Directs a shipment of off-specification 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 specifications set forth in 40 CFR 279.11.

Used Oil Management

Activities

For the purposes of the Site Identification Form, includes used oil

transportation; used oil processing and re-refining; burning offspecification 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, or

other used oil-derived products. Processing includes, but is not limited

to: blending used oil with virgin petroleum 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- or off-specification used oil.

Used Oil Transporter Any person who transports used oil, any person who collects used oil

from more than one generator and transports the collected oil, and

operators and owners of used oil transfer facilities. 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 transportation (e.g., settling

and water separation), but that are not designed to produce (or make

more amenable for production of) used oil-derived products or used oil

fuel.
45

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

These instructions explain how to complete the 2005 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 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 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 2005

Hazardous Waste Report, observe the following conventions:

(1) Do not report generation quantities for contaminated

groundwater. Enter “NA” in Form GM, Section 1, Box F

(quantity). Explain in the Comments section that it is

groundwater, not a hazardous waste, that was generated on site.

(2) Do report quantities managed on site (Form GM, Section 2, Onsite Process Systems 1 and 2); quantities shipped off site for

management (Form GM, Section 3); and quantities received

from off site and managed on site (Form WR, Box E).

Lab packs The following rules apply to the reporting of lab pack wastes in the 2005

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:

P If they contain RCRA acute hazardous wastes (i.e., EPA

hazardous waste codes F020, F021, F022, F023, F026, F027,
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

(Continued)

46

and all “P” waste codes). Report separately from lab packs

containing other RCRA hazardous wastes (all other EPA

hazardous waste codes).

P 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 (see page 53) indicating lab packs (i.e., W001

or W004) on Form GM, in Section 1, Box E or on Form WR in 

Box 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 waste codes in Section 1, Box B of

Form GM, or Box B of Form WR. 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, Box B

of Form GM, or Box B of Form WR; then enter “NA” in the

remaining spaces for the EPA hazardous waste codes.

(4) When reporting quantities for lab packs:

P Include the weight of the containers if they are disposed

(e.g., landfilled) or treated (e.g., incinerated) with the waste.

P 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 by-product

materials (See Definitions section beginning on page 35), 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 reported in the 2005

Hazardous Waste Report.

Wastes received from

Conditionally Exempt

Small Quantity Generators

(CESQGs)

Waste management facilities sometimes receive hazardous wastes from

large numbers of Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generators

(CESQGs) or other sites that do not have RCRA EPA Identification

Numbers. To minimize the response burden for filling out the Form

WR 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

(Box B), State hazardous waste code (Box C), Form code (Box

G), and Management Method code (Box H).
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

(Continued)

47

(2) Wastes received from different States must be reported

separately. For the off-site handler EPA ID number (Box 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

Alaska (AK) that share a common EPA hazardous waste code, State

hazardous waste code, Form code, RCRA radioactive mixed code, and

Management Method code could be aggregated in a single waste block

of Form WR (e.g., Waste 1). In Box D, the off-site handler EPA ID

number is entered as “AKCESQG.” Note: This method of completing

Box D can also be used for CESQG waste that is not aggregated.

Wastes received from

foreign countries

Reporting on Form GM - If your site was the generator of record and

was the U.S. Importer for hazardous waste received from a foreign

country (other than a foreign Department of Defense site, Maquiladora,

U.S. territory or protectorate), complete a Form GM. Enter the

appropriate code in Section 1, Box 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 Comments. Also, mark “Yes” on the Site ID Form, Item

10.A.1, Box d - United States Importer of Hazardous Waste. Report on

Form OI the name and address of all foreign generators if this form is

required by your State. 

Reporting on Form WR - If your site received hazardous waste directly

from a generator in a foreign country (other than a foreign Department of

Defense site, Maquiladora, U.S. territory or protectorate), complete a

Form WR 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 Box D - Off Site

Handler EPA ID number. Include the Import Notification and other

foreign generator information in Comments. Report on Form OI the

name and address of all foreign generators if this form is required by

your State.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR FILLING OUT

FORM OI – OFF-SITE IDENTIFICATION

WHO MUST SUBMIT THIS FORM

Sites required to file the 2005 Hazardous Waste Report must submit Form OI if:

 Form OI is required by your State; AND

 The site received hazardous waste from off site or sent hazardous waste off site during 2005.

PURPOSE OF THIS FORM

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

HOW TO FILL OUT THIS FORM

Form OI 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 installation from which you received hazardous waste, and

each transporter you used to ship hazardous waste during 2005. 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
