Waste

EPA Form 8700-12 - Notification of RCRA Subtitle C Activities: Used to notify the EPA of a facility's hazardous waste activities, including obtaining an EPA Identification Number and declaring generator status (e.g., Large Quantity Generator, Small Quantity Generator, or Very Small Quantity Generator).

EPA Form 8700-13A/B - Biennial Report for Large Quantity Generators (LQGs): Required every two years, this report provides detailed information on the types and quantities of hazardous waste generated, managed, and disposed of by facilities classified as Large Quantity Generators (LQGs). This includes two main parts:
- Form 8700-13A: Site Identification Form
- Form 8700-13B: Waste Generation and Management Report

EPA Form 8700-22 - Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest: Used to track hazardous waste from the point of generation to the final disposal or treatment site. This document includes information on the type and quantity of waste and is signed by each handler in the waste management chain.

Exception Report: Mostardi Platt can assist you in the event that your facility needs an exception report. The report is required when a generator does not receive a copy of the hazardous water manifest signed by the designated facility within a specific time frame (typically 35 days for LQGs or 60 days for SQGs). This report alerts the EPA of potential issues with waste delivery.

Discrepancy Report: A report may need to be filed when there is a significant discrepancy between the waste description or quantity on the manifest and what is received at the designated facility. Our team can assist you with creating accurate documentation and accountability in the event that a discrepancy report is needed.

Many states require annual or periodic reports from hazardous waste generators, which may differ from the federal biennial report. These reports often include details on waste generation, treatment, storage, and disposal. We’re well-versed in state-specific requirements and can ensure your reports are accurate and timely.

LDR Notifications: We can help you meet land disposal restriction notification requirements, ensuring you properly notify treatment facilities about hazardous waste and confirm compliance with treatment standards before disposal.

LDR Certifications: When hazardous waste meets EPA’s land disposal standards, LDR certifications are required. We streamline this process by preparing and facilitating the necessary certifications for generators and Treatment, Storage, and Disposal Facilities (TSDFs).

Waste Minimization Certification: Large Quantity Generators (LQGs) must have a waste minimization program and certify efforts to reduce hazardous waste generation and toxicity. Our team can guide you in developing effective programs and meeting certification requirements.

Contingency Plan: Emergencies like spills, fires, or explosions require preparedness. We assist LQGs in developing, maintaining, and updating contingency plans that meet regulatory standards and are ready for submission to local authorities.

Emergency Incident Report: In the event of a significant hazardous material release, prompt reporting to the EPA or relevant authorities is essential. We’ll help you navigate these critical reporting requirements.

Closure Plan: When your facility ceases operations, a robust closure plan is vital. We specialize in creating plans that ensure hazardous waste is properly managed and regulatory requirements are met.

Post-Closure Plan: For facilities like landfills where hazardous waste remains after closure, we help develop post-closure plans that address long-term monitoring and maintenance needs.

Corrective Action Reports: If hazardous waste or constituents are released into the environment, corrective action reports are required to document remediation efforts. We’ll partner with you to ensure these reports are thorough, compliant, and professionally prepared.

Facilities handling hazardous waste must often provide financial assurance for closure, post-closure, or corrective action activities. We assist in preparing and maintaining documentation, including bonds, insurance, and letters of credit, to satisfy these requirements.

Some states require specific reports for universal wastes like batteries, pesticides, mercury-containing equipment, and bulbs. We understand the variations by jurisdiction and will help you stay compliant with collection, storage, and disposal documentation.
