Director, Collection Strategies Division U. S. Environmental Protection Agency ( 2137) 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, N. W. Washington, D. C. 20460 and Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs Office of Management and Budget 725 17th Street, N. W. Washington, D. C. 20503 Attention: Desk Officer for the EPA EPA Form 8700 13A/ B ( 11 00) PURPOSE OF THE 2001 HAZARDOUS WASTE REPORT The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency's ( EPA) mission to protect human health and the environment includes the responsibility to effectively 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 Resource 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 2001. The information collected 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 evaluating waste minimization efforts taken by industry.

# Be summarized and communicated to the public, primarily through the 2001 National Biennial RCRA Hazardous Waste Report.

The data you provide will be entered into a computer database by the State or the EPA Regional Office to which you return your Hazardous Waste Report. After review to ensure the quality of the data, a national database will be assembled. Your efforts in carefully filling out the required forms are appreciated.

IMPORTANT Before completing the 2001 Hazardous Waste Report forms, please carefully read the instructions in this booklet.

IF YOU NEED ASSISTANCE To obtain assistance in filling out the 2001 Hazardous Waste Report forms, please call the EPA RCRA, Superfund & EPCRA Hotline at 1 800 424 9346 ( 703 412 9810 in the Washington, D. C., metropolitan area). The Hotline operates Monday through Friday from 9: 00 a. m. to 6: 00 p. m. ( Eastern Standard Time), and is closed on Federal holidays.

In addition to calling the Hotline, you may want to contact your State or Regional Office. Some States' reporting requirements differ from the Federal requirements. See pages 83 through 88 for State and Regional Office addresses, contact names, and telephone numbers. i N WHO MUST FILE THE 2001 HAZARDOUS WASTE REPORT SITES REQUIRED TO FILE THE HAZARDOUS WASTE REPORT You are required by Federal statute to complete and file the 2001 Hazardous Waste Report if your site:

# Met the definition ( see box below) of a RCRA Large Quantity Generator ( LQG) during 2001; AND/ OR # Treated, stored, or disposed of RCRA hazardous wastes on site during 2001.

If you are required to report, see WHICH FORMS TO SUBMIT AND WHAT TO REPORT, on page 4, to determine which forms you must submit.

If you are not required to report, but wish to notify us that your generator status has changed, please fill out the Site Identification Form and submit it to your State or Regional Office. Please see page 9 for instructions on filling out the Site Identification Form and page 83 for a list of State and Regional contacts.

DEFINITION OF A RCRA LARGE QUANTITY GENERATOR A site is a RCRA Large Quantity Generator ( LQG) if, in 2001, 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 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.

Hazardous waste imported from a foreign country in 2001 must be counted in determining your generator status and included in your 2001 Hazardous Waste Report.

SITES THAT SHOULD NOT FILE THE HAZARDOUS WASTE REPORT Do not file the 2001 Hazardous Waste Report if, during 2001, your site was not a RCRA LQG ( your site does not meet any of the criteria in the box above) AND did not treat, store, or dispose of RCRA hazardous wastes on site.

Do not file the 2001 Hazardous Waste Report if, during 2001, all of your hazardous waste was exported directly out of the country. An Annual Report must be filed in this case, as required under 40 CFR 262.56.

STATE SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS The States may impose reporting requirements above and beyond the Federal requirements.

End of booklet 1 INSTRUCTIONS FOR FILING THE 2001 HAZARDOUS WASTE REPORT INTRODUCTION The instructions and forms for the 2001 Hazardous Waste Report are prepared by the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA) for generators and treatment, storage, and disposal facilities ( TSDFs) to report their hazardous waste activities for 2001.

AUTHORITY The authority for the 2001 Hazardous Waste Report is contained in Sections 3002 and 3004 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 ( RCRA), as amended by the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984 ( HSWA). Section 3002 requires hazardous waste generators to report to the EPA or the authorized States, at least every two years, the quantities, nature, and disposition of generated hazardous waste. Under the authority of Section 3004, the EPA requires reporting by treatment, storage, and disposal facilities for the wastes they receive.

OVERVIEW OF THE 2001 HAZARDOUS WASTE REPORT To determine if you are required to file the Hazardous Waste Report, read WHO MUST FILE THE 2001 HAZARDOUS WASTE REPORT on page i.

CHANGES TO THE 2001 HAZARDOUS WASTE REPORT, beginning on this page, summarizes the primary changes that have been made to the 2001 Hazardous Waste Report forms and instructions.

WHICH FORMS TO SUBMIT AND WHAT TO REPORT, on page 4, describes circumstances and situations under which each of the forms should be completed.

FILLING OUT THE FORMS, on pages 5 to 7, provide general guidelines for filling out the Hazardous Waste Report forms, including the telephone number for the RCRA, Superfund & EPCRA Hotline, which you can call with questions on completing the Hazardous Waste Report.

WHEN AND WHERE TO FILE, on page 7, provides the filing date and details the procedures for obtaining an extension of the filing date for your site's Hazardous Waste Report. The address for the State or Region to which you should send the Hazardous Waste Report is specified beginning on page 83.

Detailed instructions for filling out each of the forms begin on page 9. Beginning on page 31, relevant code lists and other reference information are provided including the following: a list of excluded wastes; definitions of key terms; a section on special instructions that explains how to report certain types of wastes ( e. g., lab packs, PCBs); lists of codes that are too long to include in the text of instructions ( e. g., EPA hazardous waste codes); and a list of State and Regional Office addresses and contact information.

CHANGES TO THE 2001 HAZARDOUS WASTE REPORT The EPA has made significant modifications to the Hazardous Waste Report for the 2001 collection based on a lengthy study of the information needs of the EPA and State hazardous waste programs. These changes are meant to improve the consistency, accuracy, and reliability of the data, while slightly reducing sites' reporting burden. These modifications include: INSTRUCTIONS ( Continued)

2 # Replacing the Identification and Certification Form ( Form IC) with a new form: the Site Identification Form;

# Clarifying the types of hazardous wastes to be reported;

# Streamlining the Hazardous Waste Report's Source, Origin, Form, and System Type codes; and # Removing Point of Measurement, Standard Industrial Classification ( SIC) code, and Off site Availability data elements from the Hazardous Waste Report.

These modifications to the 2001 Hazardous Waste Report are described further in the following paragraphs and summarized in the table on page 3.

Replacing the Identification and Certification Form ( Form IC) with the Site Identification Form. For the 2001 Hazardous Waste Report, the EPA has replaced the 1999 Form IC with the Site Identification ( ID) Form. In the past, basic site information ( e. g., information on hazardous waste handling activities taking place at RCRA regulated sites) was collected on three different forms, each with its own instructions and definitions. This sometimes gave regulators conflicting information about the same site, and was burdensome for respondents. Specifically, large quantity generators ( LQGs) and treatment, storage and disposal facilities ( TSDFs) reported site information for the Hazardous Waste Report ( EPA Form 8700 13A/ B) on the Form IC. Basic site information was also collected from all RCRA regulated facilities on the Notification of Regulated Waste Activity form ( EPA Form 8700 12). Finally, TSDFs seeking a permit or permit renewal submitted site information on the RCRA Hazardous Waste Part A Permit Application ( EPA Form 8700 23).

The new Site ID Form standardizes the RCRA site information that was collected on these three forms. This means that, after you have submitted the Site ID Form once, you can just attach a copy of the previously submitted Site ID Form ( with any changes) when site identification information is requested again. Each site required to submit the 2001 Hazardous Waste Report must submit a completed Site ID Form as a component of the Report.

Clarifying the Types of Hazardous Wastes to be Reported. The 2001 Hazardous Waste Report instructions clarify that generators should generally report only the hazardous wastes that count toward the determination of their generator status. This includes wastes that are generated, accumulated, and subsequently managed on site or shipped off site. TSDFs should report hazardous waste received from off site, the management of the hazardous waste while on site, and any shipments of hazardous waste off site.

In addition, sites should not report hazardous waste exports as part of their Hazardous Waste Report submission. ( Note that primary exporters of hazardous waste are currently required to file an Annual Report on their exports under 40 CFR 262.56.) Importers of hazardous waste must complete a Waste Generation and Management Form ( Form GM) and use the appropriate code to identify that the waste was imported from a foreign country.

Streamlining the Hazardous Waste Report's Source, Origin, Form, and System Type Codes. The Source codes in the 2001 Hazardous Waste Report have been consolidated, regrouped, and merged with the Origin codes. The new Source codes are now mandatory. Origin codes have been eliminated altogether. This new coding scheme reduces the number of codes from 60 to 30 and the number of code groups from seven to six.

In addition, the Form codes have been revised and streamlined. The new coding scheme reduces the number of Form codes from 89 to 47 with seven high level code groups.

Finally, the EPA has replaced System Type codes with Management Method codes. This new coding scheme reduces the number of codes from 65 to 28 and the high level code groups from 14 to four. It also eliminates overlap with Form codes. INSTRUCTIONS ( Continued)

3 Removing Point of Measurement, Standard Industrial Classification ( SIC) Code, and Off Site Availability Data Elements from the Hazardous Waste Report. The Point of Measurement data element on the 1999 Form GM consisted of four codes showing whether the waste being reported was mixed with other wastes prior to being measured. We determined that there is no significant need for this information. Additionally, because the Point of Measurement was confusing to respondents, the data were often of questionable quality. Thus, the Point of Measurement was eliminated from Form GM.

In addition, we removed the SIC code from Form GM, since we added the North American Industry Classification System ( NAICS) codes ( the replacement for the SIC codes) to the Site ID Form. Completion of the NAICS codes on the Site ID Form is mandatory.

The Off site Availability code on the 1999 Form GM showed whether an off site facility was a commerciallyavailable TSDF, or if it was only permitted to accept wastes from firms owned by the same company. The EPA did not find any need for this information. Thus, the Off site Availability code was eliminated from Form GM.

HIGHLIGHTS OF CHANGES TO THE 2001 HAZARDOUS WASTE REPORT # Replaced the Form IC with the Site ID Form. All sites required to file a 2001 Hazardous Waste Report must submit a Site ID Form as a component of the 2001 Report.

# Clarified that sites generally need only report on Form GM those hazardous wastes that were included in determining their generator status.

# Clarified that sites should not report their hazardous waste exports in their 2001 Hazardous Waste Report submissions. ( Primary exporters are already required to submit an Annual Report on their hazardous waste exports under 40 CFR 262.56.)

# Clarified that importers of hazardous waste must submit a Form GM and use the appropriate code to identify that the waste was imported from a foreign country.

# Developed a revised set of Source codes, which are now mandatory on Form GM. Origin codes are no longer reported.

# Developed simplified Form codes.

# Replaced System Type codes with Management Method codes. The new coding scheme eliminates overlap with Form codes and provides a simpler coding structure than System Type codes.

# Eliminated Point of Measurement, SIC code, and Off site Availability data elements from the Form GM. INSTRUCTIONS ( Continued)

4 WHICH FORMS TO SUBMIT AND WHAT TO REPORT The 2001 Hazardous Waste Report contains the following four forms:

Site ID Form A site required to file the 2001 Hazardous Waste Report must submit the Site ID Form as a component of the Report. Instructions for the Site ID Form begin on page 9.

Form GM A site required to file the 2001 Hazardous Waste Report must submit Form GM for all hazardous waste that was used to determine the site's generator status. Hazardous waste must be reported if it was:

# Generated and accumulated on site and subsequently managed on site or shipped off site in 2001; or # Generated and accumulated on site in 2001 but not managed on site or shipped off site until after 2001; or # Generated and accumulated on site prior to 2001 but either managed on site or shipped off site in 2001; or # Imported from a foreign country in 2001.

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;

# Shipped off site, including hazardous waste that was received from off site ( reported on the Waste Received from Off Site Form ( Form WR)) and subsequently shipped off site without being treated or recycled on site;

# Removed from on site storage;

# Derived from the management of non hazardous waste; or # Derived from the on site treatment ( including reclamation), disposal, or recycling of previously existing hazardous waste ( as a residual).

Radioactive wastes mixed with RCRA hazardous wastes should also be reported, as well as hazardous wastes regulated only by your State ( if required by your State).

DO NOT submit a GM Form for hazardous waste shipped directly to a foreign country.

Instructions for Form GM begin on page 19.

Form WR A site required to file the 2001 Hazardous Waste Report must submit Form WR if, during 2001, it received RCRA hazardous waste from off site and managed the waste on site.

Instructions for Form WR begin on page 27.

Form OI A site must complete Form OI only if its State requires it. Instructions for Form OI are on the back of the form. INSTRUCTIONS ( Continued)

7 ELECTRONIC REPORTING The EPA encourages electronic reporting of Hazardous Waste Reports. To obtain instructions on how to file electronically, contact your State or Regional Office. See pages 83 through 88 for a list of State and Regional Office contacts.

CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS INFORMATION ( CBI)

You may not withhold information from the Administrator of the EPA because it is confidential. However, when the Administrator is requested to consider information confidential, it must be treated according to the EPA regulations contained in Title 40 of the CFR, Part 2, Subpart B. These regulations provide that a business may, if it desires, assert a claim of business confidentiality covering all or part of the information furnished to the EPA. 40 CFR 2.203( b) explains how to assert a claim.

The EPA will treat information covered by such a claim in accordance with the procedures set forth in Subpart B. If someone requests release of information covered by a claim of confidentiality, or if the EPA otherwise decides to make a determination as to whether such information is entitled to confidential treatment, the EPA will notify the business. The EPA will not disclose information as to when a claim of confidentiality has been made except to the extent of and in accordance with 40 CFR Part 2, Subpart B. However, if the business does not claim confidentiality when it furnishes the information, the EPA may make the information available to the public without notice to the business.

[ See WASTES TO BE REPORTED, below, for specific instructions on generated RCRA hazardous wastes that should be reported on Form GM. See WASTES NOT TO BE REPORTED, below, for any exclusions or exemptions from Form GM reporting requirements under the 2001 Hazardous Waste Report.]

PURPOSE OF THIS FORM Form GM is for reporting on site hazardous waste generation and management in 2001. Form GM is divided into three sections that document 1) the source, characteristics, and quantity of hazardous waste 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 TO FILL OUT THIS FORM Make and submit a photocopy of Form GM 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 box letter to which the comment refers.

N NOTE: Refer to the Special Instructions beginning on page 49 for reporting lab packs, asbestos, PCBs, waste oils, groundwater contaminated by leachate, and RCRA radioactive mixed wastes.

Examples of how to fill out the form are provided in Appendix A.

WASTES TO BE REPORTED In general, each generated RCRA hazardous waste that is used to determine the site's generator status should be reported on Form GM. [ See WASTES NOT TO BE REPORTED, below, for any exclusions or exemptions from Form GM reporting requirements under the 2001 Hazardous Waste Report.]

A Form GM must be submitted for each generated RCRA hazardous waste at either the waste generating process level, manifest shipment level, or cumulative waste code level. [ See HOW TO COMBINE AND REPORT SIMILAR WASTES ON ONE FORM GM, below, for a description of these reporting levels.] Hazardous waste must be reported if it was:

# Generated and accumulated on site and subsequently managed on site or shipped off site in 2001; or # Generated and accumulated on site in 2001 but not managed on site or shipped off site until after 2001; or FORM GM ( Continued)

20 # Generated and accumulated on site prior to 2001 but either managed on site or shipped off site in 2001; or # Imported from a foreign country in 2001.

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;

# Shipped off site, including hazardous waste that was received from off site ( reported on the Waste Received from Off Site Form ( Form WR)) and subsequently shipped off site without being treated or recycled on site;

# Removed from on site storage;

# Derived from the management of non hazardous waste; or # Derived from the on site treatment ( including reclamation), disposal, or recycling of previously existing hazardous waste ( as a residual).

Radioactive wastes mixed with RCRA hazardous wastes should also be reported, as well as hazardous wastes regulated only by your State ( if required by your State).

WASTES NOT TO BE REPORTED RCRA hazardous wastes exported directly to a foreign country should not be reported on Form GM. Rather, hazardous waste exports should be reported on the Annual Report required under 40 CFR 262.56.

In addition, materials and wastes identified at 40 CFR 261.4( a) and ( b) and 261.5( c) should not be reported on Form GM. Section 261.4( a) and ( b) identify materials and solid wastes that do not qualify as solid or hazardous wastes, respectively. Section 261.5( c) identifies hazardous wastes that should not be included in a site's generator status determination, even if these hazardous wastes were generated at the site.

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 Form GM:

# 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 excluded from being hazardous waste, e. g., petroleum contaminated media and debris that fail the test for the toxicity characteristic ( Waste Codes D018 through D043 only) and are subject to the corrective action regulations under 40 CFR Part 280. ( 40 CFR 261.4( b))

# Waste exempt from regulation because the waste has not exited the raw material storage or production unit yet, as specified in 261.4( c). ( 40 CFR 261.5( c)( 1))

# Hazardous waste that has been collected as a sample( s) for the purpose of determining its characteristic or composition, as specified in 261.4( d). ( 40 CFR 261.5( c)( 1))

# Sample( s) undergoing treatability studies, as specified in 261.4( e). ( 40 CFR 261.5( c)( 1)) FORM GM ( Continued)

21 # Sample( s) undergoing treatability studies at the laboratory or testing facility, as specified in 261.4( f). ( 40 CFR 261.5( c)( 1))

HOW TO COMBINE AND REPORT SIMILAR WASTES ON ONE FORM GM A Form GM should be completed for each generated RCRA hazardous waste at either the waste generating process level, manifest shipment level, or cumulative waste code level. Each of these levels defines how similar hazardous wastes may be combined and reported on one Form GM. When completing a Form GM at the:

# Waste Generating Process Level, a site may combine one or more RCRA hazardous wastes at the point where the wastes are generated ( i. e., hazardous wastes with the same Source code), including process wastes and treatment residues.

# Manifest Shipment Level, a site may combine one or more RCRA hazardous wastes shipped off site under the same hazardous waste manifest ( i. e., hazardous wastes with one or more Source code( s) that may be aggregated and shipped together).

# Cumulative Waste Code Level, a site may combine each distinct RCRA hazardous waste ( i. e., hazardous waste streams with the same hazardous waste code or the same group of hazardous waste codes with one or more Source code( s)) generated across the entire site. FORM GM ( Continued)

22 When combining and reporting similar hazardous wastes on one Form GM, please report the predominant Source code ( i. e., the Source code representing the majority of the waste ( by volume or weight) being combined and reported on one Form GM) in Section 1, Box D.

N NOTE: Individual States may have preferences for reporting at the waste generating process level, manifest shipment level, or cumulative waste code level. Please contact your State if you are unsure how to combine and report similar hazardous wastes on one Form GM.

ITEM BY ITEM INSTRUCTIONS Section 1: Waste Characteristics Section 1 requests information on each RCRA hazardous waste that, in 2001, was generated and accumulated on site; managed on site; and/ or shipped off site.

Boxes B, D, F ( if applicable), G, and H must be filled out. The remaining boxes request non mandatory information.

Box A: Waste description Provide a short narrative description of the waste, such as:

# General type; # Source; # Type of hazard; and # Generic chemical name or primary hazardous constituents.

23 Box D: Source and Management Method code Enter the Source code that best describes how the hazardous waste reported in Box A originated. If the hazardous waste was mixed with other non hazardous materials, report the Source code for only the hazardous waste portion.

Source codes, page 77. For the 2001 Hazardous Waste Report, the Source codes were consolidated, regrouped and merged with the previous Origin codes to provide a simpler coding structure. Origin codes have been eliminated altogether since they are implied by the Source code.

For Source code G25, you also need to provide the Management Method code. Source code G25 indicates that this waste was generated from a hazardous waste management system described on a separate Form GM or Form WR. Enter the same Management Method code that is listed on the matching Form GM  Section 2, or on the matching Form WR  Box I, linking this waste with the on site process that created it.

L Provide the Management Method code, if you selected Source code G25.

Box E: Form code Review the Form codes beginning on page 79 and enter the code that best corresponds to the physical form or chemical composition of the hazardous waste reported in Box A. Note: The Form codes have been revised to provide a simpler coding structure.

Form codes, page 79.

Box F: RCRA radioactive mixed Check the box if this waste was radioactive mixed waste.

N NOTE: If source, special nuclear, or by product material ( see Definitions section beginning on page 39) as defined by the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, is 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 2001 Hazardous Waste Report.

Box G: Quantity generated in 2001 Enter the total quantity of the hazardous waste described in Box A that was generated during 2001. Right justify the quantity entry. Report the UOM and density for this quantity in Box H.

Box H: UOM and Density Enter the unit of measure ( UOM) code for the quantity you reported in Box G. Report the quantity in one of the units of measure listed below. If you select a volumetric measure ( gallons, liters, or cubic yards), you must also report the density of the waste. FORM GM ( Continued)

24 Weight and Volume Conversions 1 kilogram ( kg) = 2.2046 pounds ( lb) 1 short ton = 2,000 lb 1 metric tonne = 1,000 kg 1 metric tonne = 1.1023 short tons 1 cubic meter ( m) = 1.3079 cubic yards 1 cubic yard ( yd) = 27 cubic feet ( ft) 1 liter ( l) = 0.2642 gallons ( gal) Code Unit of Measure 1 Pounds 2 Short tons ( 2,000 pounds) 3 Kilograms 4 Metric tonnes ( 1,000 kilograms) 5 Gallons 6 Liters 7 Cubic yards L Skip to Section 2 if you selected code 1, 2, 3, or 4.

Section 2: On site Generation and Management of Hazardous Waste During 2001 This section is mandatory. For each on site RCRA regulated management system, you must report the Management Method and quantity treated, disposed, or recycled on site during 2001.

Was any of this waste managed on site? Check " Yes" or " No" to indicate if the site did any of the following to the waste reported in Box A: treat on site; dispose on site; recycle on site. If you checked " Yes," complete the blocks for On site Process Systems below. Check " No" if you entered G62 in Section 1, Box D  Source code, to indicate hazardous waste received from a foreign country.

L Skip to Section 3 if you checked " No." Continue to On site Process System 1 if you checked " Yes."

On site Process Systems 1 and 2:

On site Management Method Classify the process system ( see definition on page 43) with a Management Method code that best identifies the final substantive purpose/ operation it performs. Space is provided to report up to two different Management Methods. If you did not use a second on site process system to manage the waste, enter " NA" in the space for reporting the Management Method code under On site Process System 2.

Management Method codes, page 81. FORM GM ( Continued)

25 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 2001. Use the second onsite process system only when:

# A waste is managed in one process system for part of a year and in another process system for the rest of the year; or # A waste is managed by two different process systems at the same time ( i. e., management of the waste is split between parallel process systems).

If more than two on site process systems meet one of the above conditions, you need not complete the entire form again. Simply attach a second copy of Form GM, leaving blank all entries except Section 2 for on site process systems. Note in the Comments section of each page: " Sec. 2, on site process system type continued on supplemental page." ( Refer to page 6 for instructions on page numbering of supplemental pages.)

The space provided for the second on site process system should not be used to report the following:

# The on site management of the treatment residual generated from management of the waste by the first Management Method ( on site management of treatment residuals should be reported on a separate Form GM); or # To report treatment in a series of process units ( see definition on page 43). Report only process systems, not process units.

Quantity treated, disposed, or recycled on site in 2001 Enter the quantity of hazardous waste described in Section 1 that was treated, disposed, or recycled by the reported on site process management method during 2001. Enter the quantity in the same unit of measure reported in Section 1, Box H.

Example: A firm generated 100 tons of F002 solvent waste in 2001. Eighty ( 80) tons were recycled for 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 quantity 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 Form GM.

Section 3: Off site Shipment of Hazardous Waste This section requests information on the off site shipment of hazardous waste. Boxes B and D are mandatory for such off site shipment. The remaining boxes request non mandatory information. Do report shipments of previously generated hazardous wastes stored until 2001. Do report waste shipped via transfer facility. Do not report shipments of decharacterized wastes.

Space is provided to report shipments of the waste to three different off site facilities. If the waste you reported in Section 1 was shipped to more than three off site facilities during 2001, you need not complete the entire form again. Simply attach a second copy of Form GM, leaving blank all entries except Section 3, Boxes B, C, and D. Note in the Comments section of each page: " Sec. 3, Box B continued on supplemental page." ( Refer to page 6 for instructions on page numbering of supplemental pages.) FORM GM ( Continued)

26 Box A: Was any of this waste shipped off site in 2001 for treatment, disposal, or recycling? Check " Yes" or " No" to indicate if any of the waste described in Section 1 was shipped off site for treatment, disposal, or recycling during 2001. While responding to Box A is not mandatory, providing certain information for waste shipped off site is required.

L This Form GM is complete if you checked " No" in Box A. Continue to Box B if you checked " Yes" in Box A.

Box B: EPA ID No. of facility to which waste was shipped Enter the 12 digit EPA Identification Number of the facility to which the waste was shipped. DO NOT create a GM Form for hazardous waste shipped directly to a foreign country from this site.

Box C: Off site Management Method code shipped to Review the Management Method codes beginning on page 81. Enter the Management Method code that best describes the way in which the waste was managed at the initial receiving facility reported in Box B.

Management Method codes, page 81.

Box D: Total quantity shipped in 2001 Enter the total quantity of the waste shipped to the off site facility during 2001. Report the quantity in the same unit of measure entered in Section 1, Box H. Shipment quantities should equal the total quantity recorded on Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifests for this site during 2001, unless there were rejections or other complications. The quantity shipped may not necessarily equal the quantity generated ( e. g., because some waste is accumulated on site). 27 INSTRUCTIONS FOR FILLING OUT FORM WR   WASTE RECEIVED FROM OFF SITE WHO MUST SUBMIT THIS FORM A site required to file the 2001 Hazardous Waste Report must submit this form if, during 2001, it received RCRA hazardous waste from off site.

Examples of how to fill out the form are provided in Appendix A.

PURPOSE OF THIS FORM Form WR identifies hazardous wastes that were received from other hazardous waste sites and the method( s) used to manage them. Form WR 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 offsite source during 2001 and managed on site.

HOW TO FILL OUT THIS 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 site 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 2001, 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 box letter to which the comment refers.

42 Interim ( Permit) Status Period during which the owner/ operator of an existing TSD facility is treated as having been issued a RCRA permit even though he/ she has not yet received a final determination. An existing facility should have automatically qualified for interim status if the owner/ operator 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. Owners/ operators 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 A generator that meets any of the following criteria:

1. Generates, in a calendar month, 1,000 kg ( 2,200 lbs.) or more of RCRA hazardous waste, during one or more months in a year; or 2.

Operator The person responsible for the overall operation of a site.

Owner The person who owns a site or part of a site.

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 hazardous 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 storage 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 wastewater 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 process best identifies the primary purpose of this treatment system   to remove metals from the wastewater. If this wastewater treatment system is RCRA regulated, it would be reported as H077 ( chemical precipitation). If the sludge will be disposed at the reporting 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 begins on page 81.

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 ( Permit) Status" definition on page 42. DEFINITIONS ( Continued)

44 RCRA Permit 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.

Recycling 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).

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).

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; the storage of hazardous wastes before they are recycled; the accumulation of 5,000 kg or more of universal wastes; and the transportation ( and temporary storage during transportation), processing/ rerefining burning, or marketing of used oil. 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.)

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 effluent from a wastewater treatment plant ( 40 CFR 260.10).

Small Quantity Generator ( SQG) of Hazardous Waste 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.
