How do I know if my facility is registered or should be registered?
A generator that produces less than 220 pounds of hazardous waste or less than 2.2 pounds of acutely hazardous waste in any calendar month is considered a Small Quantity Generator (SQG) and is required to participate in the Small Quantity Generator Self-Certification Program.
Identification of Hazardous Waste
The New Hampshire Hazardous Waste Rules, Env-Hw 103.65, defines hazardous waste as any solid, semi-solid, liquid or contained gaseous waste, or any combination of these wastes, which:
- May cause or contribute to an increase in irreversible or incapacitating reversible illness.
- Poses a present or potential threat to human health or the environment if improperly managed.
- Has been identified as a hazardous waste by the Waste Management Division.
What happens after I self-register?
The SQG self-certification program requires a facility that generates small quantities of hazardous waste to complete a set of required forms once every three years. The forms require a fee of $90 per year for a total submittal of $270, and each facility must verify and attest to compliance with all of the applicable environmental rules and regulations that affect each facility.
If you are a registered generator of hazardous waste with an active EPA ID number, the NHDES mailed copies of the form to each facility on or around October 1. If you do not receive your facility’s copies, you must notify the NHDES; they will ensure that you receive them. As always, NHADA Loss Prevention stands ready to assist you with completing the required self-certification and notification forms. The SQG self-certification process presents opportunities and options for a facility to review and reduce the hazardous waste generated at each facility. An advantage of this self-audit for certain facilities is the potential of discovering that you no longer need to comply with the rule, ultimately reducing your environmental regulatory burden, costs, and liability.
If you have any questions regarding your facility generator status, this rule and its requirements, or any other environmentally related issues, do not hesitate to contact your Loss Prevention Representative at safety@nhada.com.
