Slide 3

The Four Steps: Step 1 - Waste Identification. Step 2 - Generator Status Determination. Step 3 - Waste Accumulation and On-Site Management. Step 4 - Waste Transport and Disposal.

Slide 4

STEP 1 Waste Identification

Slide 5

Step 1: Waste Vs. Product

Slide 6

Product Usable substance. Have value*. Not regulated by TCEQ waste program. Waste Must be solid waste. Regulated by TCEQ waste program.

Slide 7

Step 1: Hazardous Vs. Nonhazardous Hazardous Listed. Characteristic. Universal. Nonhazardous Industrial. Nonindustrial/Municipal.

Slide 8

Step 1: Other Categories of Waste Special Waste Dead animals. Contaminated food products. Miscellaneous Used Oil. Tires, etc.

Slide 9

Step 1: Hazardous Vs. Nonhazardous Hazardous Listed F, P, K, U Characteristic T, R, I, C

Slide 10

Hazardous vs Nonhazardous

Slide 11

Step 1: Hazardous Vs. Nonhazardous Nonhazardous Industrial Facilities that manufacture products. Class 1, 2 or 3 designation. Nonindustrial/Municipal Provide a service. No specific classification.

Slide 12

Step 1: Common Waste Streams Solvent May be hazardous (listed or characteristic). Use correct/consistent waste code. Consider disposal/recycling/reuse options. Waste Paint May be hazardous. Consider universal waste option.

Slide 13

Empty Containers Must meet definition of RCRA Empty. Requirements vary by container size & content previously held. Absorbents May be hazardous. Take on properties of what is cleaned up. Step 1: Empty Containers and Absorbents

Slide 14

Step 1: Batteries and Grip Trap Waste Batteries Send for recycling. Store properly. Grit Trap Waste May be hazardous. Train employees.

Slide 15

Step 1: Waste Fuel Waste Fuel Flash point. Reuse as a fuel. Burn for energy recovery.

Slide 16

Step 1: Waste Identification Texas Waste Code Formula 8-digit number assigned by generator. Sequence number (4-digit). Form code (3-digit). Classification (1 digit) H, 1, 2, or 3. Used on NOR and manifest.

Slide 17

Sequence Number Assigned by Generator when adding a waste stream to there NOR. Assigned by TCEQ under one-time shipment program. SPIL OUTS CESQ TSDF

Slide 18

Form Code Broken down into 10 major categories. 1.The waste streams major category should first be chosen. 1.Review all the Form codes descriptions. 2.Determine which code or codes best describes your waste stream.

Slide 19

Form Codes Lab Packs 001-009 Liquids Inorganic 100 Series Organic 200 Series Solids Inorganic 300 Series Organic 400 Series Sludges Inorganic 500 Series Organic 600 Series Gases Inorganic 700 Series Organic 800 Series Plant Trash 900 Series

Slide 20

Classification Code Completes the Texas Waste Code. H = Hazardous. An Industrial Facility can be: 1 = Class 1 2 = Class 2 3 = Class 3

Slide 21

Waste Code Formula

Slide 22

Lab results. MSDS. Mfg. Data. Description of the waste. Description of the process generating. the waste with chemicals. Composition of the waste. Waste Stream Profile Form

Slide 23

Waste Characterization

Slide 24

STEP 2 Generator Status

Slide 25

Step 2: Generator Status Determination CESQG: Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generator. SQG: Small Quantity Generator. LQG: Large Quantity Generator.

Slide 26

Step 2: Generator Status Waste Generation Records. Total of all hazardous waste. Month to Month basis. NOT an average.

Slide 27

Step 2:On-Site Accumulation Hazardous Waste. CESQG CESQG No time limit/up to 2,200 pounds. SQG SQG 180 days*/up to 13,200 pounds. LQG LQG 90 days/Any Amount.

Slide 28

IHW Generator Categories

Slide 29

Step 2: On-Site Accumulation Nonhazardous Waste. IndustrialIndustrial - No quantity or time limit*. NonindustrialNonindustrial No quantity/weekly pickup.

Slide 30

If you generate less than the amounts shown above, you are considered a CESQG and you are not subject to regulations requiring notification, manifesting, and fees.

Slide 31

Only In Texas The only type of CESQG that must obtain a Texas solid waste registration number is an Industrial CESQG that generates more then 220 lbs per month of class I industrial waste.. They must also report the class I industrial waste to the TCEQ on the Annual Waste Summary..

Slide 33

Step 2: Generator Status TCEQ 10400 Core Data Form. Initial notification. Update existing information.

Slide 34

TCEQ Core Data Form

Slide 35

Step 2: Generator Status EPA 8700-12 Notification of Regulated Waste Activity. Receive an EPA Waste ID number. Hazardous waste generators only.

Slide 36

Step 2: Generator Status Determination 0 TCEQ 00002 Notification for Hazardous or Industrial Solid Waste Management. Initial contact form. Update existing NOR w/new waste streams and new waste management units (WMU).

Slide 37

NOR

Slide 38

Step 2: Notice of Registration Changes To Notice of Registration Form. Change contact person. Change activity status. Change generator type. Can not be used to add waste streams.
