ABSTRACT

Generators of between 100 and 1000 kg of hazardous waste in a calendar month (SQGs) have a set of limited regulatory requirements to comply with. These requirements are more stringent than those for conditionally exempt SQGs, but offer more flexibility than available to “large quantity” (>1000 kg/month) generators. Many of the substantive requirements are the same for both 100-1000 kg/month SQGs and large quantity generators. However, much more flexibility is provided in terms of the time periods allowed for accumulating wastes and making arrangements for legal and proper offsite treatment and disposal. Many commercial TSD facilities have minimum pickup quantity or minimum invoice requirements. The longer accumulation period for 100-1000 kg/month SQGs allows the accumulation of sufficient quantities of waste to qualify for more economical unit transportation and treatment/disposal rates.
