Notification of Subt itle C Activity Instructions and Form

Section 3010 of Subtitle C of Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) requires any person who generates, transports, or recycles regulated wastes or who owns or operates a facility for the treatment, storage, or disposal of regulated wastes to notify EPA of their activities, including the location and general description of the activities and the regulated wastes handled. Respondents must submit the information required in the Notification of Subtitle C Activity Instructions and Form booklet by completing th e RCRA Subtitle C Site Identification Form [EPA Form 8700-12]. As required by statue, EPA promulgated regula tions to implement these notification requirements at 40 CFR Parts 260, 261, 262, 263, 264, 265, 266, 270, 273, and 279. EPA needs this information to determine the universe of persons who generate, handle, and manage these regulated wastes; assign EPA Identification Numbers; and ensure that these regulated wastes are managed in a way that protects human health and the environment as required by RCRA. This is manda tory reporting by the respondents.

EPA enters notification information submitted by respondents into RCRAInfo, the EPA national database, and assigns EPA Identification Numbers. EPA uses this information to identify the universe of regulated waste generators, handlers, and managers and their specific regulated waste activities. EPA also uses the information for tracking and for a variety of enforcement and inspection purposes. Finally, EPA uses this information to ensure that regulated waste is managed properly, that statutory provisions are upheld, and that regulations are adhered to by facility owners or operators.

Section 3007(b) or RCRA and 40 CFR Pa rt 2, Subpart B, which defines EPA’s general policy on public disclosure of information, both contain provisions for confidentiality. However, the Agency does not anticipate that businesses will assert a claim of confidentiality covering all or part of the Notification or Subtitle C Activity. If such a claim were asserted, EPA must and will treat the information in accordance with the regulations cited above. EPA also will assure that this information collection complies w ith the Privacy Act of 1974 and OMB Circular 108.

Estimated Burden: The reporting burden for information co llection requirements associated with initial notification requirements is estimated to be approximately 2 hour s. The burden estimate in cludes time for reading the regulations and preparing and submitting the initial notifi cation. The reporting burden for information collection requirements associated with subsequent notification is estimated to be approximately 1 hour. The burden estimate includes time for reading the regulations, preparing and submitting a subsequent notification.

To comment on EPA 's need for this information, the accuracy of the provided burden estimates, a nd any suggested methods for minimizing respondent burden, including the use of automated collection techniques, EP A has established a public docket for thi s ICR under Docket ID Number EPA-HQ- RCRA-2011-0280, which is available for online viewing at www.regulations.gov, or in person viewing at the RCRA Docket in the EPA Docket Center (EPA/DC), EPA West, Room B1 02, 1301 Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, D.C. The EPA Docket Ce nter 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.

## PURPOSE OF THE NOTIFICATION OF RCRA SUBTITLE C ACTIVITIES

This booklet is designed to help you determ ine if you are subject to requirements under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) for notifying the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of your regulated waste activities. Regulated wastes are hazardous wastes as defined by 40 CFR Part 261, universal wastes as defined by 40 CFR Part 263, and used oil as defined by 40 CFR Part 279. Furthermore, if you are managing hazardous secondar y material under 40 CFR 261.2(a)(2)(ii), 40 CFR 261.4(a)(23), (24), or (25) you also must notify under 40 CFR 260.42 using the RCRA Subtitle C Site Identification Form and Addendum to the Site Identifi cation Form. The instructions contained in this booklet will assist you in obtaining an EPA Identif ication Number by completing and submitting the RCRA Subtitle C Site Identification Form (Site ID Fo rm) [EPA Form 8700-12] for Initial Notifications or in revising your Site ID Form if you are required to submit a Subsequent Notification. RCRA is a Federal law. If you are regulated but do not comply with the RCRA notification requirements, you may be subject to civil penalties.

NOTE • Although this booklet contains informa tion and instructions for completing a Notification of RCRA Subtitle C Activity, it should not be considered a substitute for the regulations in Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (40 CFR). Rather, this booklet serves as a supplement to th e regulations and provides additional information not contained in 40 CFR. As a handler of regulated wastes, you are responsible for learning and complying with all requirements that apply to you and your regulated waste activities.

• In addition, remember that this booklet and the regulations in 40 CFR address only the Federal hazardous waste program. Many States may have notification requirements that differ from the Federal requirements; those States may use the Site ID Form or they may use a similar State form that requires information not requested in the EPA form. Again, it is your responsibility to make sure that you have completed and submitted all forms re quired under the Federal or your State

program.

### Purpose of the Notification of RCRA Subtitle C Activities (continued)



### 3 Initial Notifications

If you do not currently have an EPA Identification Number and you handle regulated waste or hazardous secondary material, you must submit an initial notificati on. Please refer to information contained in pages 4-7 of this booklet to help you determine whether yo u handle a regulated waste, whether any exemptions or exclusions apply to you, and how you should file the Notification of RCRA Subtitle C Activity. Circumstances under which you should s ubmit an initial notification include:

1. If you generate, transport, treat, store, or dispo se of hazardous waste. Refer to pages 4-5 for further information and a description of exclusions or exemptions; or

2. If you recycle hazardous wastes. (Recyclable mate rials are defined as hazardous wastes that are recycled). The recycling process itself is exempt from regulation, but you must notify EPA and obtain an EPA Identification Number prio r to recycling recyclable materials. Refer to pages 4-5 for further information and a description of exemptions; or

3. If you are a large quantity handler of universal w aste. Refer to page 5 for further information and a description of exemptions. (Notification is required for people w ho have not previously notified EPA of their hazardous waste activities or who have not already sent a notification to EPA as required by 40 CFR Part 273.32); or

4. If you transport, process, or re-refine used oil; burn off-specification used oil for energy recovery; or market used oil. Refer to page 6 for further information and for a description of exemptions. (Notification is required for pe ople who have not previously notified EPA of their hazardous waste activities or have not notified under 40 CFR Part 279 or under 40 CFR Part 266, Subpart E, which was replaced by 40 CFR Part 279.) 5. If you are an eligible academic entity opting in to 40 CFR Part 262 Subpart K for managing laboratory hazardous wastes AND you have never before s ubmitted site identification information, you must submit this form to notify the appropriate State or EPA Regional Office of your activities. Note: You must check with your State to determine if you are eligible to manage laboratory hazardous wast e pursuant to 40 CFR Part 262 Subpart K in order for you to notify.

6. If you will begin managing hazardous secondary material under 40 CFR 261.2(a)(2)(ii), 40 CFR 261.4(a)(23), (24), or (25) you must submit this form, pursuant to 40 CFR 260.42, to notify the appropriate State or EPA Regional O ffice of your activities. Note: You must check with your State to determine if you are eligible to manage hazardous secondary material under these exclusions in order for you to notify.

7. If your business moves to another location a nd you are still conducting activities regulated under Subtitle C.



### Subsequent Notifications

Even if you have submitted an initial notification and have received an EPA Identification Number, you may be required to submit a subsequent notificati on. Please refer to pages 4-8 of this booklet for information on when and how to complete a subseque nt notification. In general, you should submit a subsequent notification unde r the following circumstances:

## DETERMINING IF YOU MUST NOTIFY

How to Determine if You Must Notify EP A of Your RCRA Sub title C Activities

All persons who generate, transport, recycle, treat, store, or dispose of hazardous waste are required to notify EPA (or their State agency if the State is au thorized to operate its own hazardous waste program) of their hazardous waste activities. Furthermore, if you are managing hazardous secondary material under 40 CFR 261.2(a)(2)(ii), 40 CFR 261.4(a )(23), (24), or (25) you also must notify using the RCRA Subtitle C Site Identification Form and Addendum to the Site Identification Form. These persons must obtain an EPA Identification Number unless their solid waste ha s been excluded from regulation or their hazardous waste has been exempted as outlined below. These respective notification requirements are found in 40 CFR Parts 260, 261, 262, 263, 264, 265, and 266.

In addition to the discussion below, you will need to re fer to 40 CFR Part 261 to help you determine if the waste you handle is both a solid waste and a hazardous waste that is regulated under RCRA. If you need help making this determination after reading these instru ctions, contact the agency listed for your State. The list of contact names, addresses, telephone numbers, and e-mail address is located at: http://www.epa.gov/osw/inforesources/data/form8700/contact.pdf.

NOTE Under the Hazardous Waste Import Re gulations, 40 CFR Part 262.60, foreign generators should not apply for an EPA Identification Number. These regulations state that when filling out a U.S. manifest, you must include the name and address of the foreign generator, and the name, address, and EPA Identification Number of the importer. Please contact the U.S. firms involved with your shipments and determine which firm will serve as the U.S. Importer.

To determine if you handle a solid waste that is also a hazardous waste and regulated under RCRA, ask yourself the following questions:

A. Do I Handle a Solid Waste? 40 CFR 261.2 defines “solid waste” as any discarded material that is not excluded under Part 261.4(a) or that is not excluded by variance granted under Part 260.30 and 260.31. A discarded material is any material which is:

• Abandoned, as explained in Part 261.2(b); or

• Recycled, as explained in Part 261.2(c); or

• Considered inherently waste-like as explained in Part 261.2(d); or

• A military munition identified as a solid waste in Part 266.202.

B. Has My Solid Waste Been Excluded from the Regulations under Part 261.4? The list of general exclusions can be found in 40 CFR 261.4. If the solid waste that you handle has been excluded, either by rule or special variance, then you do not need to notify EPA for that solid waste unless otherwise stated in the regulations. If your solid waste was

### Determining if You Must Notify (continued)



### 6 not excluded from regulation, you need to determine if it is a hazardous waste that EPA regulates. EPA regulates a solid waste as hazardous waste in two ways:

• By specifically listing the solid waste as a hazardous waste and assigning it a unique EPA Hazardous Waste Code Number; or

• By regulating it because it possesses any of four hazardous waste characteristics and assigning it a generic EPA Hazardous Waste Code Number.

C. Is My Solid Waste Specifically Li sted as a Hazardous Waste? Parts 261.30 through 261.33 identify certain solid wastes that EPA has specifically listed as hazardous. Persons who handle listed hazardous waste are subject to regulation and must notify EPA of their hazardous waste activities unl ess they are exempted as discussed below. Refer to these regulations to see if your solid waste is included as a “listed hazardous waste.” If you are handling a newly regulated hazardous waste and have already notified EPA prior to that hazardous waste being regulated and already have an EPA Identification Number

, you do not need to submit a subsequent notification for that newly regulated hazardous waste.

D. Does My Solid Waste Possess a Hazardous Characteristic? Even if your solid waste is not specifically listed as a hazardous waste, it may still be hazardous because it exhibits certain hazardous ch aracteristics. These characteristics are:

• Ignitability

• Corrosivity

• Reactivity

• Toxicity

Parts 261.20 through 261.24 explain each of the characteristics and outline the testing procedures you should use to determine if your solid waste meets these characteristics. Persons who handle characteristic hazardous waste that is regulated must notify EPA of their activities unless they are exempted, as discuss ed below. If you are handling a newly regulated hazardous waste and have already notif ied EPA prior to that hazardous waste being regulated and already have an EPA Identification Number , you do not need to submit a subsequent notification for that newly regulated hazardous waste.

E. Has My Hazardous Wa ste Been Exempted from the Regulations under Parts 261.5 and 261.6(a)(3)? Parts 261.5 and 261.6(a)(3) list certain hazardous wastes that are not subject to RCRA regulation. If the hazardous waste that you ha ndle has been exempted, then you do not need to notify EPA for that hazardous waste.



### How to Determine if You Must Notify EP A of Your Universal Waste Activities

Under 40 CFR Part 273, Subpart C, Large Quan tity Handlers of Universal Waste (LQHUW) who accumulate a total of 5,000 kilograms or more of uni versal wastes at any time are required to notify EPA (or their State agency if the Stat e is authorized to operate its own universal waste program) of their universal waste activities and obtain an EPA Identification Number, unless they have previously notified EPA of their hazardous waste activities. Large Quantity Handlers of Universal Waste must notify EPA of their universal waste activities and obtain an EPA Identification Number before meeting or exceeding the

### Determining if You Must Notify (continued)



### 7 5,000 kilogram storage limit. Small Quantity Ha ndlers of Universal Waste are exempt from these notification requirements.

NOTE Please refer to the regulations in 40 CFR Part 273 to ensure that you are aware of all the requirements that apply to your universal waste handling activities.



### How to Determine if You Must Notify EPA of Your Used Oil Management Activities

Under 40 CFR Part 279, Subparts E, F, G, and H, resp ectively, persons who transport used oil; process or re-refine used oil; burn off-specification used oil for en ergy recovery; or market used oil fuel, are required to notify EPA (or their State agency if the State is authorized to operate its own used oil program) and obtain an EPA Identification Number, unless they are exempt as outlined below. Off-specification used oil may be burned for energy recovery in an indust rial furnace, boiler, or hazardous waste incinerator subject to regulation under Subpart O of 40 CFR Part 264 or 265.

Used oil transporters; used oil processors/re-refiners; off-specification used oil bu rners; and used oil fuel marketers who have not previously notified EPA of their hazardous waste activities or notified under 40 CFR Part 266, Subpart E (replaced by Part 279) must notify EPA to identify their used oil management activities.

NOTE Please refer to the regulations in 40 CFR Part 279 to ensure that you are aware of all the requirements that apply to your used oil management activities.



### Who is Exempt from Used Oil Notification Requirements ?

A. Persons who burn on-specification used oil fuel. Used oil that is to be burned for energy recovery and that meets the specification pr ovided under Part 279.11 is exempt from the regulations. However, the person who first claims that the used oil meets the specification is subject to notification as a used oil fuel marketer and certain other requirements (see Part 279, Subpart H). The burner of fuel that meets the specification in Part 279.11 is not required to notify.

B. Used oil generators are not required to notify EPA.

C. Used oil generators operating used oil-fired space heaters. Persons who burn only used oil that they generate (or used oil receive d from household do-it-yourself used oil changers) in used oil-fired space heaters are exempt fro m the notification requirement provided that the device is vented to the outdoors and the device is not designed to have a capacity greater than 0.5 million BTU/hour.

### Determining if You Must Notify (continued)



### 8 How to Determine if You Must Notify EPA of Your Subpart K Laboratory Hazardous Waste Activities

Subpart K is an alternative set of generator requi rements for managing laboratory hazardous waste at eligible academic entities. Generators that are elig ible academic entities with laboratories may elect to opt into 40 CFR Part 262 Subpart K and manage their laboratory hazardous waste under Subpart K in lieu of 40 CFR 262.34(c)(or 40 CFR 261.5 for CESQGs). In order for eligible academic entities (see definition) to opt into Subpart K or subsequently withdraw from Subpart K, they must use the Site ID Form to notify the appropriate State or EPA Regi onal Office. Refer to 40 CFR 262.203 and 262.204. Note: You must check with your State to determine if you are eligible to manage laboratory hazardous waste pursuant to 40 CFR Part 262 Subpart K and for any state-specific requirements.



### How to Determine if You Mu st Notify EPA of Your Ha zardous Secondary Material Activities

40 CFR 261.2(a)(2)(ii), 40 CFR 261.4(a)(23), (24), and (25) exclude certain hazardous secondary material being reclaimed from the RCRA Subtitle C definition of solid waste, provided certain requirements and conditions are met. Hazardous secondary material is se condary material (e.g., spent material, by-product, or sludge) that, when discarded, would be identified as hazardous waste under 40 CFR 261.

Facilities that will begin managing, are still mana ging, or will stop managing hazardous secondary material under these regulations must notify under 40 CFR 260.42 using the Site ID Form and the Addendum to the Site ID Form. Note: You must check with your State to de termine if you are eligible to manage hazardous secondary material under 40 CFR 261.2(a)(2)(ii), 40 CF R 261.4(a)(23), (24), or (25).



### How Many Forms Should I File ?

A person who is subject to the hazardous waste, univ ersal waste, or used oil management regulations under RCRA should submit one notifica tion (Site ID Form) per RCRA site. If you manage academic laboratory waste under Subpart K or hazardous seco ndary material under 40 CFR 261.2(a)(2)(ii), 40 CFR 261.4(a)(23), (24), or (25) you should submit one notifi cation per site using the Site ID Form and, if appropriate, the Addendum to the Site ID Form. If you conduct any regulated w aste activity or hazardous secondary material at more than one RCRA site, you must submit a separate notification for each RCRA site using the Site ID Form.

If you only transport regulated wastes and do not generate, treat, store, or dispose of hazardous wastes; donot qualify as a large quantity handler of universal wastes; or do not process/re-refine used oil, burn offspecification used oil fuel, or market used oil fu el, you may submit one notification that covers all activities your company conducts. This notification s hould be sent to the appropriate State or Regional Office (http://www.epa.gov/osw/inforesources/data/for m8700/contact.pdf.) that serves the State where your company has its headquarters or principal place of business. However, if you are a transporter who also engages in one or more of the regulated w aste activities listed above, you must submit a separate notification for each RCRA site using the Site ID Form.

### Determining if You Must Notify (continued)



### 9 Can I Request That This Info rmation Be Kept Confidential ?

All information you submit in an initial or subsequent notification can be released to the public, according to the Freedom of Information Act, unless it is dete rmined to be confidential by EPA pursuant to 40 CFR Part 2. Since notification information is very genera l, EPA believes it is unlikely that any information in your notification could quality to be protected fro m release. However, yo u may make a claim of confidentiality by printing the word “CONFIDEN TIAL” on all pages of the RCRA Subtitle C Site Identification Form and on any attachments. EPA will take action on the confidentiality claims in accordance with 40 CFR Part 2.



### Where Should I Send My Completed Form ?

We have provided an up-to-date list of the addr ess for your State or EPA Regional Office where you should send your completed RCRA Subtitle C Site Identif ication Form. The contact list can be found at: http://www.epa.gov/osw/inforesources/data/form8700/cont act.pdf. This list contains contact names, addresses, phone numbers and e-mail addresses that you can use to obtain additional information.

Many States use the form included at the end of this booklet; some also require additional information. The other States require that you complete and submit a State-specific form. Information about which form to use is included with the contact list located at the web page noted above. Even if you use the included form, you should check with your State to determine if you need to submit additional information. Also, contact your State if you have any questions about your submission.

After your completed Site ID Form for a notifica tion is received and processed, you will be sent a written acknowledgement that will include your EPA Identification Number. You must use this number on all communications with EPA regarding your regul ated waste and hazardous secondary material activities for this site.

### 17 Item 10 – Type of Regulated Waste Activity

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 form is submitted or those that th e 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 th e date you 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 current status may be different than your status during the reporting year.

A. Hazardous Waste Activities (Complete all parts 1 through 10):

NOTE Listed below are the Federal generato r 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) contai ned in 40 CFR 261.21 through 261.24, place an “X” in the appropriate box for the quan tity of hazardous waste that is generated per calendar month. (These regulations can be found at http://ecfr.gpoaccess.gov/cgi/t/text/te xt-idx?c=ecfr&tpl=%2Findex.tpl .) The regulations for hazardous waste generators are found in 40 CFR Part 262. Consult these regulations and your State for details about how the regulations apply to your situation. Below is a brief description of the three types of hazardous waste generators.

If “Yes”, place an “X” in only one of the following – a, b, or c.

a. LQG: Large Quantity Generator This site is a Large Quantity Generator if the site meets any of the following criteria: i) Generates, in any calendar month, 1,000 kg (2,200 lbs.) or more of nonacute RCRA hazardous waste; or ii) Generates, in any calendar month, or accumulates at any time, more than 1 kg (2.2 lbs) of RCRA acute hazardous waste; or iii) Generates, in any calendar month, or accumulates at any time, more than 100 kg (220 lbs.) of spill cleanup material contaminated with RCRA acute hazardous waste.

### Site ID Form (continued)



### 18 NOTE If, in addition to being an 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 dete rmine if you are eligible to manage hazardous secondary material under these exclusions.

b. SQG: Small Quantity Generator This site is a Small Quantity Generator if the site meets all of the following criteria: i) Generates, in any calendar month, 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, or accumulate at any time, more than 1 kg (2.2 lbs.) of acute hazardous waste; and iii) Does not generate more than 100 kg (220 lbs.) of material from the cleanup of a spill of acute hazardous waste.

OR , the site is Small Quantity Generator if the site: i) Meets i) and iii) of the Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generator criteria (see below), but ii) Is storing more than 1,000 kg (2 ,200 lbs.) of RCRA hazardous waste onsite. If the site accumulates, at any time, more than 1,000 kg (2,200 lbs.) of RCRA hazardous waste, the site must apply for an EPA ID Number using this form.

c. CESQG: Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generator This site is a CESQG if the site does all of the following: i) Generates no more than 100 kg (220 lbs.) of RCRA hazardous waste in any calendar month; and ii) Does not accumulate, at any time, more than 1,000 kg (2,200 lbs) of RCRA hazardous waste; and iii) Does not generate, in any calendar month, or accumulate at any time, 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.

NOTE If you generate acute hazardous wastes listed 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 othe r 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.

### Site ID Form (continued)



### 19 2. Short-Term Generators Mark “Yes” if the site is currently gene rating hazardous waste only as the result of a one-time, non-recurring, temporary event th at is not related to normal production processes. In other words, short-term generators produce hazardous waste from aparticular activity for a limited time and then cease conducting that activity. Shortterm 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 incl ude: 1) one-time highway bridge waste generation; 2) underground st orage tank removals; 3) generation of off-spec or outof-date chemicals at a site that normally doesn’t generate hazardous waste; 4) remediation or spill clean-up at sites with no previous RCRA ID; 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 event in Item 13 - Comments.

3. United States Importer of Hazardous Waste Mark “Yes” if you import hazardous waste from a foreign country into the United States. Refer to 40 CFR 262.60 for additional information.

4. Mixed Waste Generator Mark “Yes” if you are a generator of mixed waste (waste that is both hazardous and radioactive). RCRA defines “mixed waste” as waste that contains both hazardous waste and source, special nuclear, or by-product material subject to the Atomic Energy Act (AEA), RCRA Section 1004(41), 42 U.S.C. 6903 (63 FR 17414; April 9, 1998).

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

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

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

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



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

• Facility is still managing excluded hazardous secondary material/re-notifying as required by March 1 of each even-numbered year: Place an “X” in this box if you are re-notifying that you are still managing hazardous secondary material under the exclusion(s). Note: you must have previously notified that you began managing hazardous secondary materials in order to check this box.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Hazardous Waste Treatment Any method, technique, or process, including neutralization, designed to change the physical, chemical, or biological character or composition of any hazardous waste so as to neutralize su ch hazardous waste, or so as to recover energy or material resources fr om the hazardous waste, or so as to render such hazardous waste nonhazardous, or less hazardous; safer to transport, store or dispose of; or amenable for recovery, amenable fo r storage, or reduced in volume. Such term includes any activity o r p rocessing designed to change the physical form or composition o f hazardous waste so as to render it nonhazardous.

Incineration Burning of certain types of solid, liquid, or gaseous materials; or a treatmen t technology involving destruction of waste by controlled burning at high temperatures (e.g., burning sludge to remove the water and reduce the remaining residues to a safe, non- b urnable ash that can be disposed safely on land, in some waters, or in underground locations).

Industrial Furnace Any of the following enclosed devices that are integral components o f manufacturing processes and that use thermal treatment to accomplish recovery of materials or energy: cem ent kilns; lime kilns; aggregate kilns;

p hosphate kilns; coke ovens; blast fu rnaces; smelting, melting and refining furnaces; titanium dioxide chloride process oxidation reactors; methane reforming furnaces; pulping liquor recovery furnaces; combustion devices used in the recovery of sulfur valu es from spent sulfuric acid; halogen acid furnaces, as defined under industrial furnace in 40 CFR 260.10; and such other devices as the Administrator may add to this list.

Interim (Permit) Status Period during which the owner/opera tor of an existing TSD facility is treated as having been issued a RCRA permit even though he/she has no t yet received a final determination. An existing facility should have automatically qualified for interim stat us if the owner/operator filed both timely “notification” and the first part (Part A) of the RCRA permit application. Interim status continues until a final determination is made to issue or deny the permit. Owner/o perator of new facilities cannot by definition qualify for interim status; rather, they need a RCRA permit prio r to beginning construction of a hazardous waste management facility.

Large Quantity Generator (LQG) of Hazardous Waste A generator that meets any of the following criteria: 1. Generates, in a calendar month, 1,000 kg (2,200 lbs.) or more o f non-acute RCRA hazardous waste; or 2.

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

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

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

RCRA Subtitle C Site (RCRA Site or Site) The physical plant or location at which one or more of the following regulated waste activities occurs: the generation, transportation, treatment, storage, or disposal of hazardous wastes; recycling of hazardous wastes; United States importer of hazardous waste; mixed waste (hazardous and radioactive) generator; exempt boiler and/or industrial furnace burning o r p rocessing hazardous waste; large quantity handler of or destination facility for universal wastes; disposing h azardous waste with an undergroun d injection permit; the transportation (and temporary storage during transportation), processing/re-refining, bur ning, or marketing of used oil; eligible academic entity managing laboratory hazardous waste unde r Subpart K; facility managing hazardous secondary material being reclaimed that must comply with certain requirements and conditions; or undergoing corrective action.

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

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

p recipitant and sludge conditioner in wastewater treatment).

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

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

p rovided certain requirements are met.
