A generator is forbidden from offering hazardous waste to any transporter or treatment, storage, and disposal facility (TSDF) that does not also have an EPA ID number. In the State of Louisiana, Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generators (CESQGs), are required to notify the DEQ of it’s hazardous waste generation activity and obtain EPA ID number, but are otherwise not subject to the Louisiana Hazardous Waste Regulations. Reference: LAC 33:V.108. You can obtain a copy of the DEQ”s “HAZARDOUS WASTE NOTIFICATION FORM form to request an EPA hazardous waste generator ID number from the link below: What are some of the requirements for generators of hazardous waste? The table below summarizes some of the requirements for generators of hazardous waste. CESQGs SQGs LQGs Quantity Limits ≤100 kg/month ≤1 kg/month of acute hazardous waste ≤100 kg/month of acute spill residue or soil Between 100 - 1,000 kg/month ≥1,000 kg/month >1 kg/month of acute hazardous waste >100 kg/month of acute spill residue or soil EPA ID Number Not required Required Required On-Site Accumulation Quantity ≤1,000 kg ≤1 kg acute ≤100 kg of acute spill residue or soil ≤6,000 kg No limit Accumulation Time Limits None ≤180 days or ≤270 days (if greater than 200 miles) ≤90 days Storage Requirements None Basic requirements with technical standards for tanks or containers) Full compliance for management of tanks, containers, drip pads, or containment buildings Manifest Not required Required Required Biennial Report Not required Not required Required
