Subchapter A - General
Section V-1017 - EPA Identification Numbers and Notification of Hazardous Waste Activities for Generators

A. All generators (i.e., very small quantity generators, small quantity generators and large quantity generators) shall obtain an active EPA identification number by notifying the Office of Environmental Services using the Notification of Hazardous Waste Activity Form (HW-1) within 14 days after first generating any hazardous waste at the location specified in the notification. The assignment of an active EPA identification number shall serve as proof of this notification to the department by the generator. However, as EPA identification numbers are site-specific, if a generator moves to another location, the generator shall obtain a new EPA identification number for the facility. A generator shall notify the Office of Environmental Services within seven days if any information submitted in the notification of hazardous waste activity changes. As stated in LAC 33:V.105.A.9, failure to submit a timely and complete Notification of Hazardous Waste Activity Form (HW-1), obtain an active EPA identification number or notify the department of changes to the notification shall constitute a violation of these regulations and subject the applicant to enforcement action up to and including the assessment of civil penalties.

B. A generator shall not treat, store, dispose of, transport, or offer for transportation hazardous waste without having received an active EPA identification number.

C. A generator shall not offer its hazardous waste to transporters or to treatment, storage, or disposal facilities that have not received an active EPA identification number and the required authorization necessary to receive and manage the generator's waste.

D. Renotification by Small Quantity Generators and Large Quantity Generators

E. Other significant hazardous waste activities described in this Chapter (i.e., closures for large quantity generators in accordance with Subparagraph 1015.B.8.b, episodic events in accordance with Subchapter C, and large quantity generators consolidating hazardous waste from very small quantity generators in accordance with Paragraph 1015.G.1) shall also require submittal of a Notification of Hazardous Waste Activity to the Office of Environmental Services.

F. Generators shall comply with the general requirements in LAC 33:V.105.A regarding the Notification of Hazardous Waste Activity and for obtaining an EPA identification number.

G. Generators who cease hazardous waste activities or move to another location shall notify the Office of Environmental Services within 30 days using the department's Notification of Hazardous Waste Activity Form (HW-1) or other forms approved by the department in accordance with LAC 33:V.105.A.5.b.
