Notification of Regulated Waste 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 Regulated Waste Activity
Instructions and Form booklet by completing the RCRA Subtitle C Site
Identification Form [EPA Form 8700-12].  As required by statute, EPA
promulgated regulations to implement these notification requirements at
40 CFR Parts 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
mandatory 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) of RCRA and 40 CFR Part 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 of Regulated Waste 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 with the Privacy Act of 1974 and OMB
Circular 108.

     Estimated Burden:  The reporting burden for information collection
requirements associated with initial notification requirements is
estimated to be approximately 2 hours. The burden estimate includes time
for reading the regulations and preparing and submitting the initial
notification.  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.

     Send comments on the Agency's need for this information, the
accuracy of the provided burden estimates, and any suggested methods for
minimizing respondent burden, including through the use of automated
collection techniques to the Director, Collection Strategies Division,
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (2822T), 1200 Pennsylvania Ave.,
NW, Washington, D.C. 20460.  Include the OMB Control Number 2050-0028 in
any correspondence.  Do not send the completed form to this address.

     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 OMB Control Number 2050-0028 in any correspondence.



Notification of Regulated Waste Activity

Instructions and Form

This booklet is designed to help you determine 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
273, and used oil as defined by 40 CFR Part 279.  The instructions
contained in this booklet will assist you in obtaining an EPA
Identification Number by completing and submitting the RCRA Subtitle C
Site Identification Form (Site Identification Form or Site ID Form) [EPA
Form 8700-12] for Initial Notifications or in revising your Site
Identification 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.

Large Quantity Handlers of Universal Waste and Used Oil Handlers have
the option of submitting either the Site Identification Form or a letter
to notify EPA of their regulated waste activities, including both
initial and subsequent notifications.  As noted above, the instructions
in this booklet refer only to completing and submitting the RCRA
Subtitle C Site Identification Form.  However, the circumstances under
which these handlers must notify EPA of their regulated waste
activities, the data they must provide, and the procedures they must
follow, as described in this booklet, apply to submitting the Site
Identification Form or a letter.

Note:  Although this booklet contains information and instructions for
completing a Notification of Regulated Waste 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 the 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 the 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 Site Identification 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 required under the Federal or your State
program.

We realize that the regulations are complex.  Although we are not
providing reprints of the 40 CFR regulations in this booklet, copies of
the Federal regulations are available from EPA (see below).  We have
listed the addresses and phone numbers of the contacts in each State who
can 

answer your questions and help you understand the Federal and State
requirements that apply to you; these are in the contact list found on
the Internet at:

Initial Notifications

If you do not currently have an EPA Identification Number and you handle
regulated waste, you must submit an initial notification.  Please refer
to information contained in Sections 1 through 3 of this booklet to help
you determine whether you handle a regulated waste, whether any
exemptions or exclusions apply to you, and how you should file
Notification of Regulated Waste Activity.  Circumstances under which you
should submit an initial notification include:

1.	If you generate, transport, treat, store, or dispose of hazardous
wastes.  Refer to Section 1 for further information and a description of
exclusions or exemptions; or

2.	If you recycle hazardous wastes. (Recyclable materials 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 prior to recycling recyclable materials.  Refer to
Section 1 for further information and a description of exemptions; or 

3.	If you are a large quantity handler of universal waste.  Refer to
Section 2 for further information and a description of exemptions. 
(Notification is required for people who 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 Section 3 for further information and for a description of
exemptions.  (Notification is required for people 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.)  

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
notification.  Please refer to Sections 1 through 3 and 5 of this
booklet for information on when and how to complete a subsequent
notification.  In general, you should submit a subsequent notification
under the following circumstances:

1.	If your business moves to another location; or

2.	If the contact for your site changes; or

3.	If the ownership of your site changes; or

4.	If an additional owner has been added or replaced since you submitted
your initial notification; or 

5.	If the type of regulated waste activity you conduct changes.

1.	How to Determine if You Must Notify EPA of Your

Hazardous Waste 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 authorized to operate its own hazardous waste program) of
their hazardous waste activities.  These persons must obtain an EPA
Identification Number unless their solid waste has been excluded from
regulation or their hazardous waste has been exempted as outlined below.
 These respective notification requirements are found in 40 CFR Parts
261, 262, 263, 264, 265, and 266.

In addition to the discussion below, you will need to refer 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 instructions, contact
the agency listed for your State in Section 4 of these instructions.

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:

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

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

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

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

If you do not handle a solid waste, you do not need to notify EPA. 

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.  If
your solid waste was 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:

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

2.	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 Listed 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 unless 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
characteristics. These characteristics are:

1.	Ignitability;

2.	Corrosivity;

3.	Reactivity; and

4.	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 discussed below.  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.

E.	Has My Hazardous Waste 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 handle has
been exempted, then you do not need to notify EPA for that hazardous
waste.

2.	How to Determine if You Must Notify EPA of Your Universal Waste
Handling Activities

Under 40 CFR Part 273, Subpart C, Large Quantity Handlers of Universal
Waste who accumulate a total of 5,000 kilograms or more of universal
wastes at any time are required to notify EPA (or their State agency if
the State 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 5,000 kilogram
storage limit.

Small Quantity Handlers 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, respectively, persons
who transport used oil; process or re-refine used oil; burn
off-specification used oil for energy 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
industrial 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 burners; 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 provided
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 received from
household do-it-yourself used oil changers) in used oil-fired space
heaters are exempt from 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.

4.	How to File Notification of Regulated Waste Activity

Initial Notifications

If you do not currently have an EPA Identification Number and you handle
a regulated waste, you must submit an initial notification for your
regulated waste activities.  Please refer to Sections 1 through 3 of
this booklet for more information on whether you must notify EPA of
these regulated waste activities.  You can satisfy this initial
notification requirement by completing and signing the enclosed RCRA
Subtitle C Site Identification Form (Site Identification Form) [EPA Form
8700-12] and submitting it to the appropriate address (see Section C
below).

Under the Hazardous Waste Import Regulations, 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.

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
notification.  Please refer to information contained in Sections 1
through 3 and Section 5 of this booklet for instructions on when and how
to complete a subsequent notification. 

A.	How Many Forms Should I File?

A person who is subject to the hazardous waste, universal waste, or used
oil management regulations under RCRA should submit one notification
(Site Identification Form) per RCRA site.  If you conduct any regulated
waste activity - hazardous waste, universal waste, or used oil 

management activities - at more than one RCRA site, you must submit a
separate notification using the Site Identification Form for each RCRA
site. 

If you only transport regulated wastes and do not generate, treat,
store, or dispose of hazardous wastes; qualify as a large quantity
handler of universal wastes; or process/re-refine used oil, burn
off-specification used oil fuel, or market used oil fuel, you may submit
one notification that covers all transportation activities your company
conducts.  This  notification should be sent to the appropriate address
(see subsection C below) 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 waste
activities listed above, you must complete and submit a separate
notification using the Site Identification Form to cover each RCRA site.

B.	Can I Request that this Information 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 determined to be confidential by EPA pursuant to 40 CFR
Part 2.  Since notification information is very general, EPA believes it
is unlikely that any information in your notification could qualify to
be protected from release. However, you may make a claim of
confidentiality by printing the word "CONFIDENTIAL" on both sides of
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.

C.	Where Should I Send My Completed Form?

We have provided an up to date list of the address for your State Office
where you should send your completed RCRA Subtitle C Site Identification
Form.  Also listed is the phone number you can call for additional
information; in some cases there also is an e-mail address.  This
contact list can be found on the Internet at:

ITEM-BY-ITEM INSTRUCTIONS

Item 1 -- Reason for Submittal:

Reason for Submittal:  Place an “X” in the appropriate box to
indicate whether this form is your Initial Notification of Regulated
Waste Activity (to obtain an EPA Identification Number); a Subsequent
Notification of Regulated Waste Activity (to update your site
identification information); a component of a First or a Revised
Hazardous Waste Part A Permit Application; or a component of the
Hazardous Waste Report.

	For Initial Notification of Regulated Waste Activity to provide site
identification information and obtain an EPA Identification Number for
hazardous waste, universal waste, or used oil activities.  If your waste
activity is regulated under Subtitle C of the Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act (RCRA) and the rules promulgated pursuant to the Act
(specifically 40 CFR Parts 260–299), you must submit this form to
notify the appropriate State or EPA Regional Office of your regulated
waste activities and obtain an EPA Identification Number.

	For Subsequent Notification of Regulated Waste Activity to update
site identification information.  You must use this form to submit a
subsequent notification if your site already has an EPA Identification
Number and you wish to change information (e.g., generator status, new
site contact person, new owner, new mailing address, new regulated waste
activity, etc.).

	As a component of a First RCRA Hazardous Waste Part A Permit
Application.  If your site is planning to treat, store, or dispose of
hazardous waste on site in a unit that is not exempt from obtaining a
hazardous waste permit, you must submit this form as part of the Part A
Permit Application.  Also, if the activity at this site (treatment,
storage, or disposal) became newly regulated under RCRA Subtitle C and
the rules promulgated pursuant to the Act (specifically 40 CFR Parts
260-299), you must submit this form as part of the Part A Permit
Application.

	As a component of a Revised RCRA Hazardous Waste Part A Permit
Application.  If you must submit a revised Part A Permit Application to
reflect changes that have occurred at your site, you must submit this

for interim status if the operator/owner 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.  Operator/owner of new facilities
cannot by definition qualify for interim status; rather, they need a
RCRA permit prior to beginning construction of a hazardous waste
management facility.

Large Quantity Generator (LQG) of Hazardous Waste means a generator that

a shipment of hazardous waste as it moves from the generator to the
transporter and eventually to the hazardous waste management facility.

Mixed Waste means a waste that contains both hazardous 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).

RCRA site.  Note:  This is the legal entity which controls the RCRA site
operation rather than the plant or site manager. This is usually a
company or business name, not an individual.  See Person.

Owner means a person who owns a RCRA site or part of a site.  Note: This
includes the property owner.  This may be an individual, company, or
business name.  See Person.

Person means 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. 

Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) means 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.”

RCRA Permit means 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.

RCRA Subtitle C Site (RCRA Site or Site) means 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 means the 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).

Small Quantity Generator (SQG) of Hazardous Waste means 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 means that 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 means that: owners or
operators of smelting, melting, and refining furnaces that process
hazardous waste solely for metal recovery are conditionally exempt from
regulation, except for 40 CFR 266.101 and 266.112, provided they comply
with the requirements in Section 266.100(d);  owners or operators of
smelting, melting and refining furnaces that process hazardous waste for
recovery of precious metals are conditionally exempt from regulation,
except for 40 CFR 266.112, provided they comply with the requirements in
Section 266.100(g); and owners or operators of  lead recovery furnaces
that process hazardous waste for recovery of lead and that are subject
to regulation under the Secondary Lead Smelting NESHAP are conditionally
exempt from regulation, except for 40 CFR 266.101, provided they comply
with the requirements in Section 266.100(h).

Solid Waste means 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 that 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.

Special Nuclear Material means that materia 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.

Transfer Facility means 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 means 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).  

United States Importer means any person who imports hazardous waste from
a foreign country into the United States.  This does not include
hazardous waste shipped from a foreign Department of Defense site,
Maquiladora, United States territory or protectorate.

Universal Waste means any of the following hazardous wastes that are
managed under the universal  	waste requirements of 40 CFR Part 273:
batteries, pesticides, thermostats, and lamps.

Used Oil means any oil that has been refined from crude oil, or any
synthetic oil, that has been used, and as a result of such use, is
contaminated by physical or chemical impurities.

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

1.	Directs a shipment of off-specification used oil from their RCRA 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, include used oil

transportation; used oil processing and re-refining; burning
off-specification used oil fuel; and used oil fuel marketing.

Used Oil Processing means 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 means a RCRA site that processes on- or
off-specification used oil.

Used Oil Re-Refiner means a RCRA site that produces lubricating oils and
greases, industrial fuel, asphalt extender, gasoline, and other products
from on- or off-specification used oil.

Used Oil Transfer Facility means any transportation-related facility,
including loading docks, parking areas, storage areas, and other areas
where shipments of used oil are held for more than 24 hours during the
normal course of transportation and not longer than 35 days.  Transfer
facilities that store used oil for more than 35 days are subject to
regulation under 40 CFR Part 279, Subpart F.

Used Oil Transporter means any person who transports used oil, any
person who collects used oil from more than one generator and transports
the collected oil, and owners and operators 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.

7.	EPA Hazardous Waste Numbers for Waste Streams Commonly Generated by
Small Quantity Generators

EPA recognizes that generators of small quantities of hazardous waste,
many of which are small businesses, may not be familiar with the manner
in which hazardous waste materials are identified in the Code of Federal
Regulations.  In order to aid small quantity generators in determining
the EPA Hazardous Waste Numbers for their hazardous wastes that are
needed to complete EPA Form 8700-12, two appendices are enclosed.

Appendix 1 lists 18 general industry categories that contain small
quantity generators. For each of these categories, commonly generated
hazardous wastes are identified. Appendix 2 lists EPA Hazardous Waste
Numbers for each hazardous waste stream identified in Appendix 1.

To use these appendices:

1.	Locate your industry in Appendix 1 to identify the hazardous waste
streams common to your activities.

2.	Find each of your hazardous waste streams in Appendix 2, and review
the more detailed descriptions of typical hazardous wastes to determine
which hazardous waste streams actually result from your activities.

3.	If you determine that a hazardous waste stream does apply to you,
report the 4-digit EPA Hazardous Waste Number in Item 11 of EPA Form
8700-12.

The industries and hazardous waste streams described here do not provide
a comprehensive list but rather serve as a guide to potential small
quantity generators in determining which of their solid wastes, if any,
are hazardous. Except for the pesticide category, this insert does not
include EPA Hazardous Waste Numbers for commercial chemical products
that are hazardous when discarded unused. These chemicals and their EPA
Hazardous Waste Numbers are listed in 40 CFR 261.33.

If the specific Hazardous Waste Number that should be applied to your
hazardous waste stream is unclear, please refer to 40 CFR Part 261. 
Copies of Part 261 and other EPA regulations in 40 CFR are available at
most libraries and on EPA’s Internet page at:

http://www.epa.gov/docs/epacfr40/chapt-I.info/

In those cases where more than one Hazardous Waste Number is applicable,
all should be used. If you have any questions, or if you are unable to
determine the proper EPA Hazardous Waste Numbers for your hazardous
wastes, contact your State Office (see page 2).

Typical Hazardous Waste Streams and EPA Hazardous Waste Numbers

ACIDS/BASES:

Acids, bases or mixtures having a pH less than or equal to 2 or greater
than or equal to 12.5, and liquids that corrode steel at a rate greater
than 0.25 inches per year are considered to be corrosive (for a complete
description of corrosive wastes, see 40 CFR 261.22, Characteristic of
Corrosivity).  All corrosive materials and solutions have the EPA
Hazardous Waste Number D002. The following are some examples of the more
commonly used corrosives:

Examples of Corrosive Waste Streams

Acetic Acid

Ammonium Hydroxide

Chromic Acid

Hydrobromic Acid

Hydrochloric Acid

Hydrofluoric Acid

Nitric Acid	

Oleum

Perchloric Acid

Phosphoric Acid

Potassium Hydroxide

Sodium Hydroxide

Sulfuric Acid

DRY CLEANING FILTRATION RESIDUES:

Cooked powder residue (perchloroethylene plants only), still residues,
and spent cartridge filters containing perchloroethylene or valclene are
hazardous and have an EPA Hazardous Waste Number of F002.  Still
residues containing petroleum solvents with a flash point less than
140F are also considered hazardous and have an EPA Hazardous Waste
Number of D001.

HEAVY METALS/INORGANICS:

 ADVANCE \d7 Heavy Metals and other inorganic waste materials exhibit
the characteristic of TCLP Toxicity and are considered hazardous if the
extract from a representative sample of the waste has any of the
specific constituent concentrations as shown in 40 CFR 261.24, Table 1. 
This may include dusts, solutions, wastewater treatment sludges, paint
wastes, waste inks, and other such materials which contain heavy
metals/inorganics (note that wastewater treatment sludges from
electroplating operations containing nickel and cyanide are identified
as F006).  The following are TCLP Toxic:

IGNITABLE WASTES:

F (for a complete description of ignitable wastes see 40 CFR 261.21,
Characteristic of Ignitability).  Examples

are spent solvents (see also solvents), solvent still bottoms, ignitable
paint wastes (paint removers, brush cleaners, and stripping agents),
epoxy resins, and adhesives (epoxies, rubber cements, and marine glues),
and waste inks containing flammable solvents.  Unless otherwise
specified, all ignitable wastes have an EPA Hazardous Waste Number of
D001.

This includes solvent washes and sludges, caustic washes and sludges,
and water washes and sludges from cleaning tubs, and equipment used in
the formulation of ink from pigments, driers, soaps, and stabilizers
containing chromium and lead.  All ink sludges have an EPA Hazardous
Waste Number of K086.

LEAD ACID BATTERIES:

Used lead acid batteries should be reported on the notification form
only if they are not recycled.  Used lead acid batteries that are
recycled do not need to be counted in determining the quantity of waste
that you generate per month, nor do they require a hazardous waste
manifest when shipped off your premises.  (Note:  Special requirements
do apply if you recycle your batteries on your own premises -- see 40
CFR 266.80.)

the Toxicity Characteristic for a list of constituents and regulatory
levels.

PESTICIDES:

Pesticides, pesticide residues, washing and rinsing solutions, and dips
which contain constituent concentrations at or above Toxicity
Characteristic regulatory levels (see 40 CFR 261.24) are hazardous
waste.  Pesticides that have an oral LD50 toxicity (rat) < 50 mg/kg,
inhalation LC50 toxicity (rat) < 2 mg/L, or a dermal LD 50 toxicity
(rabbit) < 200 mg/kg are hazardous materials.  The following pesticides
would be hazardous waste if they are technical grade, unused, and
disposed.  For a more complete listing, see 40 CFR 261.32-33 for
specific listed pesticides, discarded commercial chemical products, and
other wastes, wastewaters, sludges, and by-products from pesticide
production.

(Note that while many of these pesticides are no longer in common use,
they are included here for those cases where they may be found in
storage.)

SPENT PLATING AND CYANIDE WASTES:

Spent plating wastes contain cleaning solutions and plating solutions
with caustics, solvents, heavy metals, and cyanides.  Cyanide wastes may
also be generated from heat treatment operations, pigment production, or
manufacturing of anti-caking agents.  Plating wastes are generally
Hazardous Waste Numbers F006-F009.  Heat treatment wastes are generally
Hazardous Waste Numbers F010-F012.  See 40 CFR 261.31 for a more
complete description of plating wastes.

WOOD PRESERVING AGENTS:

Compounds or mixtures used in wood preserving, including the wastewater
treatment sludge from wastewater treatment operations, are considered
hazardous wastes.  Bottom sediment sludges from the treatment of
wastewater from wood preserving processes that use creosote or
pentachlorophenol are hazardous and have an EPA Hazardous Waste Number
of K001.  In addition, wastewaters, process residuals, preservative
drippage, and spent formulations from certain wood preserving processes
are also hazardous wastes and carry EPA Hazardous Waste Numbers F032,
F034, or F035, depending on the contaminants they contain.  Unless
otherwise indicated, specific wood preserving components are as follows:
