20 11 Hazardous Waste Report

Instructions and Form

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 req uired 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 Repor t). Both RCRA Sections 3002 and 3004 require EPA to establish standards for recordkeeping and reporting of hazardous waste. Section 3002 applies to hazardous waste generator s and Section 3004 applies to hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal fa cilities. 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’ submi ssions (reports) describe each generated hazardous waste, the activity by which they generated the wastes, and the waste quantity; the reports also list the management method by which each waste is treated, recycled, or disp osed 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 havin g 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 suppor t 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 informatio n 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 [x] hours pe r response. The annual reporting burden is estimated to average [x] hours per response including time for reviewing instructions, gathering data, completing and reviewing the forms, and submitting the report. The annual recordkeep ing requirement is e stimated to average [x] 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 mi nimizing respondent burden, including the use of automated collection techniques, EPA has established a public

docket for this ICR under Docket ID Number 0976.1 5 , 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, D.C.

## PURPOSE OF THE 20 11 HAZARDOUS WASTE REPORT

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) mission to protect human health and the environment includes the responsibility to e ffectively 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 Resour ce 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 20 11 . The

information coll ected 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 eval uating waste minimization efforts taken by industry.

Be summarized and communicated to the public, primarily through publication of the 20 11 National Biennial RCRA Hazardous Waste Report.

The data you provide will be entered into a computer database by t he 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 20 11 Hazardous Waste Report forms, please carefully read the instructions in this

booklet.

IF YOU NEED ASSISTANCE

To obtain assistance in filling out the 20 11 Hazardous Waste Report forms, please contact your State Office. Some States’ reporting requirements differ from the Federal requirements. The list of State and EPA Regional Office addresses, contact names, telephone numbers, and e

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

. Deleted: http://www.epa.gov/osw/inforesources/d ata/form870 0/contact.pdf

### 2 Revised waste minimization codes (May be implemented in 2013) We exp anded the list of waste
minimization codes, added examples of waste

minimization activities and included definitions for

“waste minimization” and “sustainable materials management.”

Clarified Underground Injection Control (UIC)

Instructions Facilities tha t generate, treat, store, or dispose of hazardous waste and place the waste into an underground injection well (e.g., a Class I well) located

at their site must mark “Yes” in Section 10.A.9 of the

Site ID form.

Added “Waste Pharmaceuticals” to the list of Form

Codes Form code W005 has been added to track waste pharmaceuticals managed as hazardous waste.

Clarified what should be reported for a generator who is only an LQG for some (but not all) months of the
reporting year (May be implemented in 2013) A

g enerator who is an LQG for one or months of the
reporting year should report all their waste generated
during the reporting year.

Modified the description for G11 and W206 The source code for G11 is now “Discarding off

- specification, out

of

- date, and/or u nused chemicals or products” and the form code W206 is now “Waste oil managed as

hazardous waste.”

Consolidated some management method codes (May be implemented in 2013) Many “Destruction or Treatment Prior to Disposal” management method

codes are consoli dated to enable easier reporting.

Revised “Groundwater contaminated by Hazardous

Waste” instructions Replaced the term “leachate” with

“hazardous waste” and added further instructions
regarding contaminated media.

Clarified instructions for on

- site manag ement Modified
the language to clarify that filers should choose the
management method code that best identifies the last substantive purpose/operation it performs onsite. Revised wording of Box 10.D (Academic Labs) and the
Addendum to the Site ID form (H azardous Secondary Material) Wording changes implemented to both the
Site ID form and instructions to help minimize confusion
for reporting under these rules.

Clarified “Short

- term Generator” Added examples,
further instruction, and a definition for short

- term

generator.

Developed the “Reportable and Non

- Reportable

Waste Guidance” This guidance offers instruction for
determining which wastes should be reported. This
guidance can be found at [INSERT LINK].

Revised note for Treater, Storer, or Disposer o f

Hazardous Waste (May be implemented in 2013) on
the Site ID form The note under Box 10.A.6 now reads “Note: A hazardous waste Part B permit is required for

these activities.”

Added instruction for source code G61 If reporting

source code G61 (hazardous waste received from off

site for storage/bulking and transfer off

- site for treatment or disposal), the generation amount must be zero (0) in Section 1, Item F.”

Added example of sequential process This example
complements the existing non

- sequential proce ss for
reporting on

- site management.

Modified language for GM Form, Section 2 On

- site Generation and Management Section 2 now asks “Was
any of this hazardous waste that was generated at this facility treated, disposed, and/or recycled on

- site?”

NOTE: As of the 2009 biennial report cycle, all

information on the GM form Section 1 and the WR
form are mandatory for filers submitting those forms.

## WHO MUST FILE THE 20 11 HAZARDOUS WASTE RE PORT

Sites Required t o File t he Hazardous Waste Report

You are required by Federal statu t e (mandatory reporting) to complete and file the 20 11 Hazardous Waste Report (also known as the “Bi ennial 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 20 11 ; or

Treated, stored, or disposed of RCRA hazardous wastes on

- site during 20 11

.

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

DEFINITION OF A RCRA LARGE QUANTITY GENERATOR

WHO MUST REPORT FOR CALENDAR YEAR 20 11

A site is a RCRA Large Quantity Generator (LQG) for 20 11 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

non

- acute hazardous waste; or

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

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

waste.

Note: You will report you r current Hazardous Waste Generator status as of the date of submitting your 20 11 Hazardous Waste Report on the Site I D Form in Item 10.A.1

– Generator of

Hazardous Waste. Your current status may be different from the status during the report year

that re quires you to file the Hazardous Waste Report.

Note: Hazardous waste imported from a foreign country in 20 11 must be counted in determining your generator status if your site is the U.S. Importer. This waste must be reported on the GM Form

or the WR Form in your 20 11 Hazardous Waste Report.

Note: Some states, as a matter of state law, require other categories of generators to report as well. See

the discussion under “State

- Specific Requirements” on page 4.

## INSTRUCTIONS FOR FILLING OUT THE GM FORM

– WASTE

GENERATION AND MANAGEMENT

Who Must Submit t his Form

A site required to file the 20 11 Hazardous Waste Report must submit a GM Form if the sit e generated RCRA hazardous waste that, in 20 11 , 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

t o b e Reported , below, for specific instructions on generated RCRA hazardous wastes that should be reported on the GM Form. See Wastes Not t o b e Reported , below, for any exclusions or exemptions from the GM Form reporting requirements under the 20 11 Hazardous Waste Report.)



### Purpose o f t hi s Form

The GM Form is for reporting on

- site hazardous waste generation and management in 20 11 . The GM Form is divided into three sections that document 1) the source, characteristics, and quantity of hazardous

was te 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 t o Fi ll o ut t his Form

Make and submit a photocopy of the GM Form for each generated RCRA hazardous waste that should be reported, consistent with the criteria discussed below. Prior to photocopying, place the pre

- printed site identification label in the top left

- hand corner of 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 item letter to which the comment refers.

NOTE Please review your previous cycle’s GM source, form, and manageme nt method codes to

see if they are still applicable. If applicable, use those same codes for consistency.

Refer to the Special Instructions for reporting lab packs, asbestos, PCBs, waste oils, groundwate r contaminated by hazardous waste

, RCRA

- rad ioactive mixed wastes , and laboratory clean

- out wastes

.



### Wastes t o b e Reported

In general, each generated RCRA hazardous w a ste that is used to determine the site’s generator status should be reported on the GM F orm. (See Wastes Not t o b e Reported , below, for any exclusions or exemptions from the GM Form reporting requirements under the 20 11 Hazardous Waste Report.) Deleted: leachate

### GM Form
(continued)



### 33 A GM Form must be submitted for each generated RCRA hazardous waste. Hazardous waste must be

rep orted if it was:

Generated and accumulated on

- site and subsequently managed on

- site or shipped off

- site in 20 11 ;

or

Generated and accumulated on

- site in 20 11 but not managed on

- site or shipped off

- site until after

20 11 ; or

Generated and accumulated on

- s ite prior to 20 11 but either managed on

- site or shipped off

- site in

20 11 ; or

Imported from a foreign country in 20 11

.

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 F rom Off

- site Form [WR Form]) and subsequently shipped off

- site wit hout 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.f. See the definitions and the special instructions regarding this w aste.

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



### Wastes Not t o b e Reported

RCRA hazardous wastes exported directly to a foreign country should not be reported on the GM Form 

### (unless required by your state)

. Facilities that export hazardous waste must file a separate Annual Report under 40 CFR 262.56. ( This Annu al Report will be in addition to the Hazardous Waste Report, if your state requires you to submit a Hazardous Waste Report.)

In addition, materials and wastes identified at 40 CFR 261.2(a)(2)(ii) and 261.4(a) and (b) and 261.5(c) should not be reported o n the GM Form. Section 261.4(a) and (b) identify materials and solid wastes that do not quali f

y as solid or hazardous wastes, respectively. Section 261.5(c) identifies hazardous wastes that should not be included in a site’s generator status determinatio n, even if these hazardous wastes were generated at the site. Deleted: Rather, hazardous waste exports should be reported on the Annual Report required under 40

CFR 262.56.

### GM Form
(continued)



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

Materials which are excluded from being a solid waste , e.g., any 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 excl uded from being hazardous waste, e.g., petroleum

measure was used.

Item G

– Waste Minimization Code (Changes may be implemented in 2013)

40 CFR 262.41(a)(6), 264.75(h), and 265.75(h) requires that data be collected for waste minimization

activities. En ter the code th at best corresponds to waste minimization, recycling, or pollution prevention efforts implemented or continuing during this reporting year to reduce the volume and toxicity of the hazardous waste reported in Section 1, Item A. Note: a decrease in waste gen eration resulting from a decrease in production is not considered a waste min activity.

Example : During 2011, a firm implemented a change in its production process and, a s a result

, was able

to separate a spent material into two separate wastestreams, en abling the firm to reclaim on e of

the wastestreams on

- site , which the firm then put back in to the production process. This firm

would choose the waste min imization code (F) “This waste was used, reused, or reclaimed as a

result of : A change in the product formulation .”

Example : A facility was able to substitute a less toxic hazardous substance into its production process,

resulting in the generation of a non

- hazardous waste , which decreased its overall volume of hazardous waste generation for 2011. This facility would choose waste min imization code ( B ) “The quantity and/or toxicity of this waste was reduced by: A change in the product’s chemical ingredients

. ”

Example: An electroplating company installs an ion exchange unit as part of its wastewater tr eatment

system to capture valuable metals used in its operations. The ion exchange units, once saturated, are sent off

- site to another facility that regenerates the ion exchange system and recovers the metals for subsequent reclamation. This facility would choose waste min imization Deleted: tonne

regulated management system, you must report the management method and quantity treated, disposed, or recycled on

- site during 20 11

.

Was any of th is waste that was generated at this facility treated, disposed, and/or recycled on

- site?

Mark “Yes” or “No” to th is question to indicate if the site did any of the following to the waste reported in Section 1, Item A: treat on

- site; dispose on

- site; recycle on

- site. If you marked “Yes, ” complete the

blocks for On

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

Example: Facility A generates spent solvents that it recycles on

- site in a distillati on column. This facility

would mark “Yes” in Section 2 and would fill out the on

- site process system box accordingly.

Example: Facility B receives spent solvents from off

- site and blends the solvents into fuel. The facility

then sends the fuels off

- site to be burned for energy recovery. Facility B would report on its

GM form the new waste generat ed in Section 1, Item D as Source Code G25 (“Hazardous waste management”) with the managem ent method code of H061 (“Fuel b lending ”). Facility B

would m ark “No” in Section 2 because it did not manage any of the newly generated fuels on

site. Th is facility would report the off

### 40 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 20 11 . Use the second on

site process system only when:

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

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

Example of Non

- Sequential (Parallel) Processes: A firm generated 100 tons of F002 solvent waste in 2011. Eighty (80) tons were recycled f

or 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 quantit y of 80 tons. Under On

site Process System 2, the site enters the Management Method Code for energy recovery of liquids (H050) and a quantity of 20 tons. The 5 tons of still bottoms should be reported on a separate GM Form.

If more than two on

- site pro cess systems meet one of the above conditions, you need not complete the entire form again. Simply attach a second copy of the GM Form with the EPA ID number and Site Name. Leave all the other fields blank except Section 2 for on

The on

- site management of the treatment residual generated from management of the waste by the first management me thod (on

- site management of treatment residuals should be reported on a separate GM Form); or

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

Example of Sequential

Processes : A firm gen erated 100 tons of D002 and D007 plating waste in 2011. 100 tons were neutralized, stored on

- site, and then chemically batch

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

- site for e ventual disposal.

Under On

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

site Management Method Code for Chemical Treatment (H070) and a quantity treated of 100 tons. The site reports the residual 10 tons of sludge on a separate GM Form w ith Section 1 Item D Management Method Code of H070. (If there was no storage and the wastewater had been allowed to go into the POTW or NPDES, this page would not be reported, only the D007 and F006 sludge

## INSTRUCTIONS FOR FILLING OUT THE WR FORM

– WASTE

RECEIVED FROM OFF

- SITE

Who Must Submit t his Form

A site required to file the 20 11 Hazardous Waste Report must submit this form if, during 20 11 , it received

RCRA hazardous waste from off

- site.



### Purpose o f t his Form

The WR Form identifies hazardous wastes that were received from other hazardous waste sites and the method(s) used to manage them. The WR Form is divided into three identical parts (i.e., waste blocks), labeled Waste 1, Waste 2, and Waste 3, that collect information on the quantities and characteristics of

each hazardous waste received from an off

- site source during 20 11 and managed on

- site.



### How t o Fill o ut t his 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

- si te 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 20 11

, 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 item letter to which the comment refers.

not an individual. See Person

.

### Definitions
( c ontinued)



### 54 Owner The person who owns a RCRA site or part of a RCRA site. Note: This

includes the own er(s) of the building(s) and/or land . 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.

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 hazardou s

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 st orage 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 wastewa ter 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 proce ss best identifies the final purpose of this

treatment system

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

- regulated, it would be reported as

H07 0 (chemical precipitation). If the sludge will be disposed at the rep orting 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 may be found in the “ Other Reference Information ” section

of this booklet

.

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

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

RCRA Interim (Permit)

Status Refer to “Interim (Permi t) Status” definition

.

RCRA Permit A complete RCRA permit is comprised of an operating permit for hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal, and a corrective action p ermit 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. Deleted: 7

### 55 RC RA 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 wast es; 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; disposi ng hazardous waste with an underground injection permit; the transportation (and temporary storage during transportation), processing/re

- refining, burning, or marketing of used oil; eligible academic entity managing laboratory hazardous waste under 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 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 re cover 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 indus trial 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 e nd products (as when

metals are recovered from metal

- containing secondary material); 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).

Short

- term Gener ator A generator whose generator status is the result of a one

- time, non

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

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

- term generators would not be considered episodic generators because episodic generators have the potential to generate on a regular basis. Examples of short

- term generators include: one

- time highway bridg e waste generation, underground storage tank removals, generation of off

spec or out

- of

- date chemicals at a site that normally doesn ’t generate hazardous waste, remediate or spill clean

- up sites with no previous RCRA ID, and site or production process deco mmissions by a new operator.

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

efflue nt from a wastewater treatment plant (40 CFR 260.10).

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

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

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

2. Is storing more than 1,000 kg (2,200 lbs.) of RCRA hazardous

waste on

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

Small Quantity On

- Site Burner Exemption The persons who burn small quantities of hazardous waste in an on

- site boiler or industrial furnace, in accordance with 40 CFR 266.108, are conditionally exempt from regulation for that activity.

Smelting, Melting, and Refining Furnace Exemption Under 40 CFR 266.100(c), owners or operators of smelting, me lting, 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). Similarl y, 40 CFR 266.100(f) provides that owners or operators of smelting, melting and refining furnaces that process hazardous wastes for the recovery of precious metals are conditionally exempt from regulation, except for 40 CFR 266.112, provided they comply wi th 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 th rough 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 the “ Other Reference Information ” section

of this booklet. ). Wastewaters being collected, stored, or treated before discharge and sludges generated by wastewater treatment are n ot 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 Nuclear Regulatory Commission pursuant to the provis ions 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
( c ontinued)



### 57 Special Nuclear Material As defined by the Atomic Energy Act of 1954: (1) plutonium, uranium enriched in the isotope 233 or in the isotope 235, and any other material

which the Nuclear Regulatory 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.

Subpart K An alternative set of generator requirements for managing laboratory

hazardous waste at eligible academic entities. Generators that are eligible 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 C ESQGs). 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 Regional Office. Refer to 40 CFR

262.203 and 262.204. N ote: 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.

Superfund The program operated under the legislative authority o f 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 liqu ids, and that is not an injection well (40 CFR 260.10).

Sustainable Materials Management Sustainable Materials Management is an approach to serving human needs by using/reusing resources most productively and sustainably throughout their life cycles, g enerally minimizing the amount of materials involved and all the associated environmental impacts. “Materials” include all those extracted or derived from natural resources, which may be either inorganic or organic substances, at all points throughout thei r life

- cycles. “Life

- cycle of materials” includes all activities related to materials such as extraction, transportation, production, consumption, material/product reuse, recovery and disposal. For more information, go to Sustainable Material Management: The Road Ahead located at http://www.epa.gov/wastes/inforesources/pubs/vision2.pdf and Vision 2050

located at www.wbcsd.org/web//projects/BZrole/Vision2050_Summary_Final.pdf

Tolling Tolling arrangements describe a particular type of recycling contract between two companies. Specifically, the “tolling” company certifies that it has a contract with a manufacturer to produce a product, and that manufacturing process generates a residual material that can be recycled by the tolling company. If the tolling company certifies that the contract specifies that the tolling 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 subsequently recycled, the materi al is excluded from regulation (under 40 CFR 261.2(a)(2)(ii) or 261.4(a)(23)),

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

These instructions explain how to complete the 20 11 Hazardous Waste Report for wastes and sites with unique regulatory or re porting 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 mor e 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 i t 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

Hazardous Waste Groundwater contaminated by RCRA hazardous waste is not

con sidered 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 if it is removed for treatment, storage or disposal

. 1 When reporting groundwater contaminated by

hazardous waste in the 20 11 Hazardous waste Report, observe the following conventions:

(1) Enter “ 0 ” in the GM Form, Section 1, Item F (quantity). Explain in the Comments section that it is groundwater, not a hazardous waste that was generated on

- site.

(2) R eport quantities managed on

- site (GM Form, Section 2,

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

- specific determination of whether the media is a RCRA Waste. Please see: “Management of Remediation Waste Under RCRA,” EPA530

received from off

- site and managed on

- site (WR Form, Item E).

Lab Packs The following rules apply to the reporting of lab pack wastes in the 2011 Hazardous Waste Report:

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

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

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

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

(3) It is not necessary to report every EPA hazardous waste code included in a batch of lab packs. Record one, or a few predominant, EPA hazardous waste codes in Section 1, Item B of the GM Form, or Item B of the WR Form. If there are many EPA hazardous waste codes associated with the batch

of lab packs, enter “LABP” in the first four

- character field in Section 1, Item B of the GM Form, or Item B of the WR Form; then enter “NA” in the remaining spaces for the EPA

hazardous waste codes.

(4) When reporting quantities for lab packs:

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

Exclude the weight of the containers if the waste is

removed from the containers before treatment or disposal.

RCRA

- Radioactive Mixed Wastes B y themselves, source material, special nuclear material, or by

product materials (see definitions section), as defined by the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 and amended by 42 U.S.C. 2011 et. Seq., are not classified as hazardous wastes under RCRA. However, if these materials are mixed with a RCRA hazardous waste, the material is controlled under RCRA regulation, as well as under the Atomic Energy Act (DOE, NRC, and EPA) regulations, and is to be reported in the 20 11 Hazardous Waste

### 62 Report.

Subpart K Laborator y Waste

Clean

- out A Subpart K laboratory clean

- out conducted in accordance with 40 CFR 262.213(a), is defined as: once per 12 months per laboratory, a laboratory will have 30 days to conduct a clean

- out
and will not have to count the hazardous waste that c onsists of unused commercial chemical products (either listed or characteristic) generated during those 30 days towards the eligible academic entity’s generator status for the purposes of on

site accumulation. See 40 CFR 262.213(a)(1

- 4) for other Subpart K laboratory clean

- out requirements.

The waste generated from this clean

- out should be reported on

the GM Form with a source code of “G17

– Subpart K Laboratory Waste Clean

- out” with a generation amount of zero (0) (Section 1, Item F). The amount ship ped off

- site or managed

on

- site will be reported in Sections 2 or 3 of the GM Form as appropriate.

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

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

Wastes Received from Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generators (CESQGs) Waste management facilities sometimes receive hazardous w aste 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 WR Form for these wastes, you may aggregate

the wastes across generating sites, in accordance with these guidelines:

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

(2) Wastes received from differe nt States must be reported separately. For the off

- site handler EPA Identification Number (Item D), the entry should include the two

- letter postal code of the originating State, followed by the letters “CESQG”.

For example, wastes received from several C ESQGs in the State of Alaska (AK) that share a common EPA hazardous waste code, State hazardous waste code, Form code, and Management Method code could be aggregated in a single waste block of the WR Form (e.g., Waste 1). In Item D, the off

- site handler E PA ID number is entered as “AKCESQG”. Note: This method of completing Item D can also be used for CESQG waste that is not aggregated.

Wastes Received from Foreign

Countries Reporting on the GM Form

– If your site was the generator of

record and was th e 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),

### 63 complete a GM Form. Enter the appropriate code in Section 1,

Item D

– Source Code from the list of codes G63 through G75

– Hazardous waste received from [name of foreign country]. Include the Import Notification and other foreign generator information in the Comments. Also, mark “Yes” on the Site ID

Form, Item 10.A.1.e

– United States Importe r of Hazardous Waste. Report on the OI Form the name and address of all foreign generators if this form is required by your State.

Report on the WR Form

– If your site received hazardous waste directly from a generator in a foreign country (other than a foreign Department of Defense site, Maquiladora, U.S. territory or protectorate), complete a WR Form for the waste treated, recovered, or disposed at your site. This waste was not shipped to your site by a U.S. Importer. Report the code “ FC ” followed by the name of the foreign country in Item D

– Off

- site Handler EPA ID number. Include the Import Notification and other foreign generator information in the Comments. Report on the OI Form the name and address of all foreign generators if this form is requ ired by your State.

WASTE MINIMIZATION CODES (These changes may be implemented in 2013.)

Waste Minimization Codes describe the type of waste minimization, recycling, or pollution prevention efforts used to reduce the volume and toxicity of the hazardous waste generated at your facility. Select the most detailed, appropriate, and specifi c method that best describes your results.

You may provide in the Comment section any additional information (including toxicity and quantity changes to the extent data are available and other applicable codes) that will help EPA and the States

understa nd what you did to implement pollution prevention, waste minimization, or recycling for this waste stream, or why your efforts did not succeed.

Code Waste Minimization Code Description

We successfully implemented or continued pollution prevention, wa ste minimization and/or recycling efforts during the reporting year for this hazardous waste: The quantity and/or toxicity of this waste was reduced by:

A A change in the product formulation or usage (e.g., using less primer or solvent)

B A change in the product’s chemical ingredients (e.g., using a different solvent)

C A change in equipment (e.g., auto bath analyzers that keep a bath operating longer or

wastewater treatment system upgrades)

D A change in inventory/waste management or safety pract ices (e.g., “First In First Out”

programs, chemical vending, bulk systems that replace drums, improved storage)
This waste was used, reused or reclaimed as a result of:

F A change in the product formulation

G A ch ange in the product’s chemical ingre dients

H A change in equipment

Other efforts:

I A materials management process with a goal of sustainable use of material s 2

J This hazardous waste was successfully recycled (either onsite or offsite)

K Other efforts not covered under Codes A th rough J were implemented successfully

We attempted but did not succeed at pollution prevention, waste minimization and/or recycling efforts during the reporting year for this reason:

L Economic constraints halted implementation

M Technical problems h alted implementation

N Other reasons halted implementation

We determined pollution prevention, waste minimization or recycling efforts to be economically impracticable for this reason:

T This waste was received from off

- site and was not generated at this location

U This waste is infrequently generated

V Economic constraints prevented efforts

W Lack of available technology prevented efforts

X Other reasons prevented efforts

2 Sustainable Materials Management is an approach to serving human needs by using/reusing resources most productively and sustainably th roughout their life cycles, generally minimizing the amount of materials involved and all the associated environmental impacts. “Materials” include all those extracted or derived from natural resources, which may be either inorgan ic or organic substances, at all points throughout their life

- cycles. “Life

- cycle of materials” includes all activities related to materials such as extraction, transportation, production, consumption, material/product reuse, recovery and disposal. For mor e information, go to Sust ainable Material Management: The Road Ahead located at http://www.epa.gov/wastes/inforesources/pubs/vision2.pdf and Vision 2050 located at www.wbcsd.org/web//projects/BZrole/Vision2050_Summary_Final.pdf

. Deleted: Waste minimization codes describe the type of waste minimization, recycling, or pollution prevention efforts used to reduce the volume and toxicity of the hazardous waste generated at your facility. Select the most detailed, appropriate, and specific method used. If minimization was not attempted (to the point of implementing a change) for this waste, you must select the “X” code. ¶
