Every state is required to abide by federal guidelines, however some states stick to the federal RCRA minimum, while others add additional rules about how waste should be handled, transported and disposed. Classification of waste as well as the requirements about the amount generated vary according to each individual state’s personal needs depending, and these are known as provisions.
Certain states also require biennial or annual reporting of all hazardous waste activities your business has taken part in, which could include all levels of generators and TSDFs. Reporting is necessary as provisions vary from state-to-state and enable regulators to ensure hazardous waste is properly handled in all locations.
