Description

Federal regulations require large quantity generators to submit a report every two years regarding the nature, quantities and disposition of hazardous waste generated at their facility. EPA refers to this as the National Biennial RCRA Hazardous Waste Report or Biennial Report.  

 

The Biennial Report form (EPA form 8700-13A/B) must be submitted to the authorized state agency or EPA regional office by March 1 of every even-numbered year (for example, a report due by March 1, 2018, would report activities from calendar year 2017). The form includes information such as:

  • Facility’s EPA ID Number,
  • Facility’s name and address,
  • Quantity and nature of hazardous waste generated, and
  • Whether the hazardous waste was sent for recycling, treatment, storage, or disposal.

Small quantity generators and very small quantity generators of hazardous waste are not required to submit biennial reports, but may be subject to state-specific reporting requirements. All generators should consult their state agencies to clarify the specific reporting requirements for that state.
