Overview
According to 40 CFR 260.10 hazardous waste transporters are individuals or entities
that move hazardous waste from one site to another by highway, rail, water, or air. This
includes transporting hazardous waste from a generator's site to a facility that can
recycle, treat, store, or dispose of the waste. It can also include transporting treated
hazardous waste to a site for further treatment or disposal.
Requirements for transporters include:
1. Obtaining an EPA Identification number (available from your state environmental
office).
2. Complying with the manifest system.
3. Responding appropriately to hazardous waste discharges.
4. Complying with all applicable DOT regulations.
Through RCRA, Congress directed EPA to create regulations to manage hazardous
waste from "the cradle to the grave." Under this mandate, EPA developed strict
requirements for all aspects of hazardous waste management including the treatment,
storage, and disposal of hazardous waste. In addition to these federal requirements,
states may develop more stringent requirements or requirements that are broader in
scope than the federal regulations.
