INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE UNIFORM HAZARDOUS WASTE MANIFEST
(EPA Forms 8700-22 and 8700-22A)
General Information.
Read all instructions before completing this form. This form
				  has been designed for use on a 12-pitch (elite) typewriter; a firm point pen
				  may also be used-- press down hard.
New York State regulation requires generators and
				  transporters of hazardous waste and owners or operators of a hazardous waste
				  treatment, storage and disposal facilities to complete a manifest (EPA form
				  8700-22), and, if necessary, the continuation sheet (EPA form 8700-22A) for
				  both inter- and intrastate transportation of hazardous waste. Omissions, false
				  coding or illegibility is considered a violation. All generators are
				  responsible under New York State and Federal law for the proper identification,
				  labeling, manifesting and ultimate disposal of all hazardous waste they
				  generate. The manifest system is designed to track hazardous waste from the
				  point of generation until its final disposal (cradle to grave). In order to
				  accomplish that goal, it is essential that all items on a manifest be properly
				  completed.
Distribution.
Distribution of each copy of the manifest is indicated on the
				  bottom of the form. Additional copies of the form may be required. For example,
				  the generator must make additional copies of the manifest, as necessary, to be
				  submitted by the generator to the generator state and the disposer state. Extra
				  copies of the manifest will be needed if more than one transporter is used. For
				  exports, the transporter must deliver a copy of the manifest to the U.S.
				  Customs when exporting the waste across U.S. borders and mail a copy to the
				  generator. For imports, the TSD must mail a copy of the manifest to the USEPA.
				  For rejected loads, the final receiving facility (generator or TSD), must make
				  manifest copies to submit to the generator state and the disposer state, as
				  necessary. New York State regulations provide 10 calendar days for a generator
				  and 10 calendar days for a TSDF to distribute manifest copies. The disposer's
				  state is the state in which the designated TSD facility is located. The
				  generator's state is the state in which the installation generating the
				  hazardous waste is located. TSD facility is a treatment, storage or disposal
				  facility.
For submittal to the department, mail manifest related
				  documents to: New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, Division
				  of Solid & Hazardous Materials, Manifest Section, 625 Broadway, Albany, NY
				  12233-7252.
Public Reporting Burden.
The following statement must be included with each Uniform
				  Hazardous Waste Manifest, either on the form, in the instructions to the form,
				  or accompanying the form:
"Public reporting burden for this collection of information
				  is estimated to average: 30 minutes for generators, 10 minutes for
				  transporters, and 25 minutes for owners or operators of treatment, storage, and
				  disposal facilities. This includes time for reviewing instructions, gathering
				  data, completing, reviewing and transmitting the form. Any correspondence
				  regarding the PRA burden statement for the manifest must be sent to the
				  Director of the Collection Strategies Division in EPA's Office of Information
				  Collection at the following address: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
				  (2822T), 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20460. Do not send the
				  completed form to this address."

				  Handling Instructions and Additional Information to assure accurate conversion
				  of volumetric units into weight. The value of 1.0 will be used for calculations
				  if no other value is provided.
Note: Tons, Metric Tons, Cubic Meters, and Cubic Yards should
				  only be reported in connection with very large bulk shipments, such as rail
				  cars, tank trucks, or barges.
Item 13. Waste Codes--Enter up to six Federal and State waste
				  codes to describe each waste stream identified in Item 9b. State waste codes
				  that are not redundant with Federal codes must be entered here, in addition to

				  waste. Examples of State waste codes include New York State "B" codes for PCB
				  waste and the New York State handling code, described under "Item 13
				  -additional state requirement."
ITEM 13 - ADDITIONAL STATE REQUIREMENT
If the receiving TSD facility is not providing a hazardous
				  waste management method code in Item 19 that reflects the ultimate disposal
				  method for the hazardous waste, the generator must provide a State waste code
				  to designate the ultimate disposal method of the waste using one of the
				  following State codes:
L = Landfill
B = Incineration, heat recovery, burning
T = Chemical, physical, or biological treatment
R = Material recovery of more than 75 percent of the total
				  material.
If the receiving TSD facility uses hazardous waste report
				  management method code for "storage, bulking, and/or transfer off-site - no
				  treatment/recovery, fuel blending, or disposal at this site" in Item 19 of the
				  manifest form, and the generator has failed to provide the ultimate disposal
				  method in Item 13, the ultimate disposal method is deemed landfill (L).
Item 14. Special Handling Instructions and Additional
				  Information.
1. Generators may enter
				any special handling or shipment-specific information necessary for the proper
				management or tracking of the materials under the generator's or other
				handler's business processes, such as waste profile numbers, container codes,
				bar codes, or response guide numbers. Generators also may use this space to
				enter additional descriptive information about their shipped materials, such as
				chemical names, constituent percentages, physical state, or specific gravity of
				wastes identified with volume units in Item 12.
2. This space may be used to record limited
				types of federally required information for which there is no specific space
				provided on the manifest, including any alternate facility designations; the
				manifest tracking number of the original manifest for rejected wastes and
				residues that are re-shipped under a second manifest; and the specification of
				PCB waste descriptions and PCB out-of-service dates required under
				40 CFR
				761.207.
Item 15. Generator's/Offeror's Certifications
1. The generator must read, sign, and date
				the waste minimization certification statement. The date is the date of receipt
				by transporter. In signing the waste minimization certification statement,
				those generators who have not been exempted by statute or regulation from the
				duty to make a waste minimization certification under section 3002(b) of RCRA
				are also certifying that they have complied with the waste minimization
				requirements. The Generator's Certification also contains the required
				attestation that the shipment has been properly prepared and is in proper
				condition for transportation (the shipper's certification). The content of the
				shipper's certification statement is as follows: "I hereby declare that the
				contents of this consignment are fully and accurately described above by proper
				shipping name, and are classified, packaged, marked, and labeled/placarded, and
				are in all respects in proper condition for transport by highway according to
				applicable international and national governmental regulations. If export
				shipment and I am the Primary Exporter, I certify that the contents of this
				consignment conform to the terms of the attached EPA Acknowledgment of
				Consent." When a party other than the generator prepares the shipment for
				transportation, this party may also sign the shipper's certification statement
				as the offeror of the shipment.
2.
				Generator or Offeror personnel may preprint the words "On behalf of" in the
				signature block or may hand write this statement in the signature block prior
				to signing the generator/offeror certification, to indicate that the individual
				signs as the employee or agent of the named principal.
Note: All of the above information except the handwritten
				  signature required in Item 15 may be pre-printed.
