STATE REQUIREMENTS AND INSTRUCTIONS
FOR GENERATORS HOLDING CALIFORNIA ISSUED ID NUMBERS
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) revised the Uniform Hazardous
Waste Manifest effective September 5, 2006 and requires the use of only this version.
Enclosed is manifest information you should read and save for future reference.
Manifest forms are available from printers approved by U.S. EPA. Approved printers
can be found at http: / /www.epa.gov /epawaste/ hazard / transportation /manifest/index.htm
SMALL QUANTITY GENERATOR INFORMATION
From this point forward any reference to manifests applies to the federal manifest.
The term "Small Quantity Generator" is a federally defined term, but we will use it here
for ease of reading. Small Quantity Generators are persons or businesses that
generate monthly quantities of hazardous waste, not including Universal Waste (see
page 6) that are greater than 100 kilograms (about 220 Ibs) but less than 1,000
kilograms (2,200 Ibs). Technically, the term only applies to persons that generate
federally regulated (Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, or "RCRA ") waste; but
the following state and federal requirements apply to all. businesses that generate less
than 1,000 kg of hazardous waste in any calendar month.
If you're not sure how much these metric measures represent: 1,000 kg is about 250
gallons of water, or about five 55- gallon drums; 100 kg equals about 27 gallons of
water, which is about one -half of a 55- gallon drum; and one kg equals one liter, which is
a bit more than a quart. The term "month" or "monthly" refers to any calendar month.
General Requirements
a. Determine if the waste you generate is hazardous waste. Universal waste
should not be included in the calculations. [(Chapter 12, Section
66262.11, Title 22, California Code of Regulations (CCR)].
b. Track the amount of waste that you generate in each calendar month to
make sure you are a small quantity generator. Do not use a monthly
average.
C. If you generate more than 100 kg of RCRA waste in any calendar month,
you must use a federally issued EPA Identification Number (EPA ID
Number). If you generate up to 100 kg of RCRA waste, you must use a
California ID number. If you generate any amount of California only waste
you must use a California ID number. Check the DTSC fact sheet "EPA
Identification Numbers for Generators" for further information about the
differences between the numbers. The fact sheet is available at via the ID
Number webpage at http: / /www.dtsc.ca.gov /IDManifest/iD Numbers.cfm
(02/12) STATEPKT Page 3
State of California — Environmental Protection Agency Department of Toxic Substances Control
d. You should inform your local Certified Unified Program Agency (CUPA)
that you are a small quantity generator of hazardous waste. A CUPA
directory search is available at
hftp://www.calepa.ca.gov/CUPA/Directory/default.aspx
Rules on Accumulation Times
1. If you generate less than 1,000 kg of hazardous waste per month, you may
accumulate waste on -site in containers or tanks for no more than 180 days
except as noted in subsections 2 and 3 below. If you generate more than 1.00 kg
of waste in a month, the 180 -day period begins on the date the waste first begins
to accumulate. If hazardous waste is accumulated in tanks, a generator must
comply with federal regulations in Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations, sections
.262.34(f) and 265.201 as it applies to small quantity generator tank
requirements. Any amount of acutely or extremely hazardous waste can be
accumulated orisite for only 90 days. However, if,the total amount of hazardous
waste that your site generates in a calendar month is 100 kg or less (or 1 kg of
acutely or extremely hazardous (EH) waste), the accumulation time period
begins on the date that the 100 kg of hazardous waste or one kg of acutely or
extremely hazardous waste limit is reached.
The Generator Accumulation fact sheet provides additional information you may
need.
http: / /www.dtsc.ca.gov /HazardousWaste /upload /FS OAD Accumulation.pdf
In addition the Generator Requirements fact sheet has general information.
http: / /www.dtsc.ca.gov /HazardousWaste /upload /HWM FS Generator Requirem
ents.pdf
a. The date that you begin accumulating waste must be clearly marked on
the container, portable tank or tank as soon as you place waste in it, and
the date must be visible for inspection (Chapter 12, Section 66262.34
(f)(1) & (2), Title 22, CCR)
b. All containers, portable tanks and tanks that hold hazardous waste must
be labeled. Chapter 12, Section 66262.34 (f)(3), Title,22, CCR).
Each container, portable tank and tank must be labeled or marked clearly
with the words "Hazardous Waste ", the accumulation start date (as
discussed in (a)) and the generator's ID number. If you are accumulating
waste in containers or portable tanks, the. label must include` the following
additional information:
(1) Composition and physical state of the waste.
(2) Statement or statements that call attention to the particular hazardous
properties of the waste (e.g., flammable, reactive, etc.)
(3) Name and address of person or company producing the waste.
(Chapter 12, Section 66262.34(f) (1), (2), (3), (A), (B) & (C), Title 22,
CCR)
(02/12) STATEPKT Page 4
State of California — Environmental Protection Agency Department of Toxic Substances Control
2.1 Small quantity generators whose businesses are long distances (200 miles or
farther) away from their waste treatment, storage and disposal facilities may
accumulate their waste onsite for up to 270 days if all of the following apply:
a. The quantity of hazardous waste accumulated onsite never exceeds 6,000
kg.
b. The generator does not hold acutely hazardous waste or extremely
hazardous waste in an amount greater than one kg for more than 90 days.
C. The generator complies with the requirements of subdivisions (d), (e) and
(f) of Section 262.34 of Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
3. Satellite accumulation: A generator may also hold, at an accumulation area, up
to 55 gallons of hazardous waste for more than 180 days if all of the following
requirements are met with respect to the 55 gallons or one quart of acutely or
extremely hazardous waste:
a. The generator must not hold the accumulated waste onsite for more
than one year from the initial date of accumulation;
b. The generator may only accumulate the waste in containers, not tanks.
The waste must be at or near the area where the waste is generated
and which is under the control of the operator of the process
generating the waste;
C. The generator must label the containers used for accumulating the
hazardous waste with the words "Hazardous Waste ". Labels must
also include information on the composition and physical state of the
waste, the hazardous properties of the waste, the name and address
of person producing the waste and the generator's ID number, plus the
initial date;
d. The generator must comply with the requirements of Sections
66265.171, 66265.172, 66265.173(a), Title 22, CCR;
e. Within 3 days of reaching the 55 gallon /one quart quantity limitation,
the generator must:
(1) Date the holding container with the date on which the limit was
reached:
(2) Move the waste to the "90/180 -day" accumulation area or offsite,
and;
(3) Comply with the requirements of Chapter 12, Article 3, Section
66262.34(a), Title 22, CCR and other applicable provisions. For those
facilities that remove their hazardous waste directly from the
accumulation area within the three days allowed, this provision does
not apply.
RULES FOR SHIPPING HAZARDOUS WASTE
In some cases your waste could be exempt from manifest requirements. Briefly, those
include: Universal waste shipments (see information and link below), some
photographic and silver waste and some self - transported waste (50 pounds or five
(02/12) STATEPKT Page 5
State of California — Environmental Protection Agency Department of Toxic Substances Control
gallons per trip, more if taken to certain household hazardous waste facilities or to used
oil recycling centers or facilities).
CESQGs: Conditionally exempt small quantity generators (not more than 100 kg in any
month) may be eligible for certain transportation allowances. These generators are
allowed to take up to a total volume of 5 gallons .or not to exceed a total weight of 50
pounds to a permitted facility if they meet the requirements given in Section 25163(c) of
the Health and Safety Code. Only generators that do not accumulate more than 1,000
kg onsite at any one time can use this provision. (All extremely or acutely hazardous
wastes generated by any business must be shipped on a manifest only.)
In addition, a business that meets the federal definition of Conditionally Exempt Small
Quantity Generator found in 40 CFR Section 2615 may be able to dispose of their
hazardous waste at certain household hazardous waste facilities. Contact a household
hazardous waste facility in your area to find out if business - generated waste is accepted
and what the transportation limits are. You can find a program at
hftp://www.calrecycle.ca.qov/HomeHazWaste/DirectorV/defauIt.asp x.
As a generator, you can use consolidated manifesting to dispose of your hazardous
waste. Consolidated manifesting exempts you from filling out a hazardous waste
manifest. A consolidated transporter completes both the generator and transporter
sections of the manifest and leaves a receipt or bill of lading for your records. You can
find more information about rules pertaining to generators using consolidated
manifesting at http: / /www.dtsc.ca.gov /HazardousWaste /Transporters /index.cfm
When shipping hazardous waste off your premises you must:
a. Use only transporters that have registered with DTSC and have obtained
an ID number. (Chapter 12, Section 66262.12(c), Title 22, CCR)
b. Comply with Department of Transportation (DOT) requirements for
packaging, labeling, and marking. (Chapter 12, Section 66262.30,
66262.31, 66262.32 and 66262.33, Title 22, CCR). DOT also requires
that the packager of waste be trained.
C. Ship waste only to hazardous waste facilities approved for your waste
type. (Chapter 12, Section 66262.20(b) & (c), title 22 CCR)
2. Use of the manifest. Mandatory use of the federal manifest began on September
5, 2006. Please see the enclosed material entitled "Supplemental California
Manifest Instructions ". DTSC has a dedicated manifest page on its website at
hftp://www.dtsc.ca.qov/1DManffest/Manifests.cfm.
Manifest forms are available only from printers approved by U.S. EPA. Approved
printers are posted on their website at
http: / /www.epa.gov /epawaste/ hazard / transportation /man ifest/index. htm
(02/12) STATEPKT Page 6
State.of California — Environmental Protection Agency Department of Toxic Substances Control
When you sign the manifest, you are certifying that the information on it is
correct, so take care in reviewing the manifest if someone else has filled it out for
you. After you have signed and dated item 15 of the completed manifest, the
transporter will sign and date item 17 and give you two copies. You are required
to send a legible photocopy of the manifest to DTSC within 30 days of each
shipment (Chapter 12, Section 66262.23, Title 22, CCR).
When the designated treatment, storage or disposal facility (TSDF) receives and
accepts your waste, their representative will sign and date item 20 on the
manifest. California TSDFs are required to send the completed signed copy of
the manifest to DTSC, and send a copy to the generator. You are required to
keep the generator copy and the signed copy from the California TSDF for at
least three years. (Chapter 12, Section 66262.40(a), Title 22, CCR). TSDFs in
other states are required to submit copies to DTSC when waste generated in
California is received out of state.
If you are a generator of greater than 1000 kg per month and you do not receive
a copy of the manifest signed by the TSDF representative within 45 days of the
date the waste was accepted by the initial transporter, you are required to file an
Exception Report with DTSC. If you are a generator of less than 1000 kg per
month and you do not receive a copy of the - manifest signed by the TSDF
representative within 60 days of the date the waste was accepted by the initial
transporter you are required to file an Exception Report with DTSC. Please send
a legible copy of the manifest with a cover letter explaining what you did to locate
the hazardous waste and the results of your efforts.. Please send your Exception
Report to: DTSC Report Repository, Generator Information Services Section,
P.O. Box 806, R1-4, Sacramento, CA 95812 -0806. A copy of the Exception
Report must be retained in your records for three years. (Chapter 12, section
66262.42(b), title 22, CCR)
UNIVERSAL WASTE
Universal wastes are hazardous wastes that are generated by a wide variety of people
every day. Since February 8, 2006, universal waste may not be discarded in solid
waste landfills. Scientists at DTSC have found that these wastes will leak toxic
substances, mostly metals, in a typical landfill. Some examples of universal waste
include: batteries, fluorescent tubes (lamps), electronic devices (cell phones,
computers, televisions), cathode ray tubes (CRTs) (computer monitors, televisions),
mercury wastes (thermometers and toys), and non -empty aerosol cans. Additional
information can be found at:
hftp://www.dtsc.ca.gov/HazardousWaste/Univ'ersalWaste/index.cfm
Many local government agencies run programs that help households and small
businesses recycle or properly dispose of their hazardous wastes. Some retailers
collect certain universal wastes, such as batteries, electronics and fluorescent light
tubes. For information on local collection programs, contact your municipal waste
service provider, or local household hazardous waste program. You can check
(02/12) STATEPKT Page 7
State of California — Environmental Protection Agency Department of Toxic Substances Control
http: / /www.earth911.org for a universal waste collection program near you. Use the
toolbar. on the left to navigate the site.
MANIFEST INFORMATION
We ask that you pay particular attention to some problems we have seen on manifests
submitted to DTSC.
• Generator Copies:
o Mail a legible copy to P.O. Box 400 within 30 days of shipping the waste.
If the waste is being shipped to a California disposal facility, the generator
may submit Copy 2 instead of submitting a photocopy.
o Legible Copies: Photocopy quality has been very poor and many of the
manifests are illegible. The photocopy must be legible; otherwise it cannot
be entered into our tracking system.
o Only shipping descriptions are allowed in Item 9b on the manifest (no
ERG, profiles, etc.)
o DTSC is providing information. on top offenders to local enforcement
agencies (CUPAs).
• Changing Names and Addresses Using the Wrong Box:
o Addresses are being changed after the manifest is first completed. This is
acceptable ONLY if all changes are made in the original box for Item 8.
Address changes cannot be included in the box for Item 14 or 18b.
o Writing an address in the box for Item 18b is only allowed when a TSDF
rejects a shipment, not when there is a change made in the destination
before it arrives at the disposal facility. This type of change is only made
in the box for Item 8. These changes are noticed by our inspectors about
shipment irregularities.
• State Waste Code Omissions:
o Every waste stream line on the manifest must have one California waste
code if the manifest begins or ends in California. If a waste is federally -
regulated, it also needs one or more RCRA waste codes. No more than
six State and RCRA waste codes are allowed for each waste stream.
The Manifest Correction Process
DTSC receives numerous manifests with errors. It is extremely important that the
information you complete and sign for on each manifest is accurate. If your transporter,
service provider or your office staff completes a manifest for you, please check the
accuracy of the information printed on the manifest before signing it and releasing the
waste for transport. Per Health and Safety Code section 25160.5, DTSC is authorized
to charge a $20 manifest correction fee per each incomplete or improperly completed
manifest. The most common errors are transposed digits in EPA ID numbers, incorrect
or incomplete dates with the signatures, (past or future dates), missing waste codes or
quantities.
If you discover that you have made an error on a manifest, you should immediately
notify DTSC of the error(s). DTSC does not charge the $20 manifest correction fee if
you submit the manifest correction letter before being notified by DTSC of the manifest .
error. Following are specific guidelines for manifest corrections.
(02/12) STATEPKT Page 8
State of California — Environmental Protection Agency
Department of Toxic Substances Control
To submit a letter, please provide the manifest corrections on company letterhead, and
include the following information:
1. Manifest Tracking Number; either 8- digits (pre -Sept. 5, 2006 shipments, DTSC
8022A), or the unique three -letter suffix preceded by nine numerals which is pre-
printed in Item 4 of the manifest (shipments on or after September 5, 2006, EPA
8700 -22, new federal form).
2. Generator date; the date the generator signed the manifest.
3. Generator EPA 1D number used on the original manifest, even if it was incorrect.
4. The incorrect or incomplete item number from the manifest.
5. The corrected information.
6. Signature, title, mailing address, and phone number of person submitting the
correction.
Note: One manifest correction letter that corrects several manifests is _sufficient
provided it contains the items listed above for each manifest. Mail manifest correction
letters to:

TREATED WOOD WASTE
In 2007 regulations were adopted establishing alternative management standards for
treated wood waste that are hazardous waste. Treated wood is wood that has been
treated with a chemical preservative to protect the wood from insects and other
environmental conditions that can lead to wood decay. Wood was likely treated if it was
used in direct contact with the ground or installed for harsh outdoor use. Common
surface coatings such as paint, varnish, and oil stain are not considered wood
preservatives under these regulations.
The regulations require that generators of more than 10,000 pounds of treated wood
waste in a calendar year obtain an EPA ID number if they do. not already have one for
the site where the waste is generated. Additional information on treated wood and the
regulations can be found at

FEDERAL HAZARDOUS WASTE INFORMATION
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Solid Waste has developed a
web -based document, entitled the Hazardous Waste Generator Regulations (v. August
2010).
It is intended to serve as a reference regarding the current Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act (RCRA) hazardous waste generator regulatory requirements. The
document is available at http: / /www.epa.gov /osw /hazard /downloads /tool.pdf. This is an
excellent reference document; however it does not contain supplemental information
that explains how California requirements are different. In addition, it is a very large
document, so we do not recommend that you print it first. We encourage you to start
with the following two DTSC fact sheets. The first fact sheet is entitled Hazardous

California Compliance School
California Compliance School (CCS) is an innovative, activity - based training program that will
teach you the basics of complying with the confusing maze of environmental regulations in a
fun and interesting format!
Using experts in the field of adult learning principles, the team of curriculum development
specialists at CCS put together a performance -based program that addresses the most
common questions and practices of environmental compliance for hazardous waste
generators.
"Performance- based" means that, during the course of the class, you will learn what you need
to know to apply these skills for your business operations. This keeps you in compliance,
saves money through waste reduction, and may prevent you from getting fined!
As you can imagine, this format is dramatically different.from sitting for eight hours in front of
an instructor who lectures the whole time, without really giving you an opportunity to
demonstrate that you have learned anything - -or to practice what you may have learned.
The credit for the CCS concept.goes to employees of the Department of Toxic Substances
Control. They realized the need for basic hazardous waste management training, but
recognized that an institution of adult learning (a college) would be better equipped to
develop and provide the training than a regulatory agency. Their vision was -a "Traffic School"
for hazardous waste generators, which would allow fines for certain violations to be "forgiven"
by DTSC and today that vision is a reality.

California Environmental Protection Agency
Department of Toxic Substances Control
Revised June 2007
Federal and State hazardous waste manifest regulations changed on September 5, 2006.
Detailed manifest instructions are printed on the back of the new federal manifest. These Supplemental California Instructions cover
additional California requirements. Please use the instructions printed on the new manifest for item by item directions. Materials are
available at www.dtsc.ca.gov (under ID numbers, Manifests & Fees, Hazardous Waste Manifests), including fact sheets and California's
manifest regulations, sample manifests, and federal instructions. For load rejections and consolidated manifesting, refer to the regulations
and fact sheets.
IMPORTANT MANIFEST CHANGES - PLEASE READ AND SAVE AS o REFERENCE
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) revised the Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest and requires the use of only the new
version nationally after September 4, 2006. States are no longer allowed to modify the form or the instructions. Old versions of the
California manifest, or manifests from other states, may not be used after September 4, 2006. The new manifest form is no longer color
coded, and the new six -part form does not include a copy for generators to submit to their state, although California requires the generator to
submit a copy.
Additional Information and
Instruction Changes:
• Adds space for emergency
response number;
• Adds Generator's site address;
• Allows up to six waste codes for
each waste stream;
• Adds a box to indicate if waste
stream is U.S. DOT regulated;
• Adds space for import/export
information;
• Adds room for destination
facilities to note discrepancies or
if container residues exceed
empty levels;
• Adds a new field for a manifest
reference number when waste is
rejected or if container residues
are shipped on a new manifest;
• Adds a separate field for
alternative facility information and
signatures;
• Uses HW Report Management
Codes to replace handling codes;
• Prohibits the use of fractions or
decimal points in waste quantities
in Item 10; and
• Discourages use of large quantity
units in Item 11 (e.g. tons or cubic
yards) when other units, i.e.
pounds, are more accurate.
Where Do I Mail Manifests?
Same P.O. Boxes - No Change
GENERATORS SEND TO:
DTSC Generator Manifests
P.O. Box 400
Sacramento, CA 95812 -0400
TSDFs /DESIGNATED
FACILITIES SEND TO:
DTSC Facility Manifests
P.O. Box 3000
Sacramento, CA 95812 -3000
Where Do I Get Manifests?
California does not sell the new manifest forms. Forms are available only' from private printers approved
by EPA. EPA posts approved printers at
www. epa. qoy /epaoswer /hazwasteLgener /ma nifest/reg istry/I ndex. htm.
Generators Must Submit Manifest Copies!
California requires generators and permitted transfer, treatment, storage; and disposal Facilities (Facilities) to submit
manifests. The federal manifest form does not include a Generator -to -State submittal page, like the old manifest did
(the blue page). Within 30 days of shipping the waste, generators must submit a copy of each manifest to DTSC.
This copy can either be a legible photocopy or the "Generator Retains" copy, if the generators receive a signed
facility copy back within 30 days. Generators may submit a copy of the "Generator Retains" copy (page 6), the top
page (the most legible one - page 1), or any other page, as long as it is legible.
What About Submitting Manifests for Rejected Loads?
Generators should send copies of manifests they sign when receiving rejected waste or container .
residues to the Department of Toxic Substances Control's (DTSC) Facility Manifests at P.O. Box 3000.
Facilities signing new manifests for rejected loads should submit the generator copy to DTSC
Generator Manifests at P.O. Box 400. See the rejected load fact sheet on DTSC's web site.
How Are California Manifest Requirements Different from Federal?
• California requires conditionally exempt small quantity generators to use manifests and regulates more
waste as hazardous.
• DTSC uses the submitted generator and facility manifest copies for cradle -to -grave tracking of waste.
• California's definition of an "empty" container is more stringent. Non -empty containers must be manifested,
including bulk containers, whether the waste is federal RCRA or non -RCRA.
• Facilities in other states are required to submit copies to DTSC when waste generated in California is
received out of state. Out -of -state generators sending waste to California facilities, or that will be exported
through California, are encouraged to submit manifest copies.
Where Do I Find California Waste Codes?
The new manifest has six blank boxes for waste codes for each waste stream.
If the waste is RCRA regulated, at least one box must include a RCRA waste code. For waste generated in
or shipped to California, 'a CA state waste code is also required. The additional boxes are for other states'
codes when the waste is sent out of state to a state with codes, or for extra RCRA codes. California Waste
Codes are printed on the reverse side of these instructions only, not on the instructions printed on the
manifest. They are also found in Title 22, California Code of Regulations, Appendix XI to Chapter 11 of
Division 4.5.
What are Hazardous Waste Report Management Method Codes (HWRMM
Codes)?
Previously, California's manifest instructions required Designated Facilities to use one of 10 handling codes to
report how the waste was handled at that facility. The new manifest uses 28 Management Method Codes. These
are the same codes used in Biennial Reports. One of the HWRMM codes shown on the other side must be added
on the manifest by the Facilities only. Generators and transporters do not add these codes.
Contact Information:
First, visit the DTSC web page at www.dtsc.ca.gov /IDManifest for training information and review the basic
instructions printed on the manifest. This document includes Supplemental Instructions only for use in
California. For more information, contact your transporter or facility, or call DTSC's Regulatory Assistance
Officer at 800 -72- TOXIC.
