Annual Facility Reports - Biennial Hazardous Waste Reports

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and the Department of Toxic Substances Control have a common mission to protect human health and the environment. This mission is carried out by enforcing strict management standards for hazardous waste activities and gathering information about the generation, transportation and final disposition of hazardous wastes in the state.

The Federal and State hazardous waste regulations require certain Resource Conservation Recovery Act (RCRA) hazardous waste generators, as well as, facilities that treat, store or dispose of RCRA and/or State hazardous waste, to report their hazardous waste activities. The information collected will: 

• Provide verification of the “Cradle-to-Grave” disposition of hazardous wastes,
• Provide the USEPA and California with a view of current hazardous waste generation and waste management in the United States,
• Show trends and changes in waste management and quantity when compared to previous years' reports, and 
• Provide to the public hazardous waste generation information through publication of the National Biennial RCRA Hazardous Waste Report.

No fees are required for completing this report. However, failure to comply with Federal and State regulations regarding Annual/Biennial reports may result in fines and penalties.
