Two Agencies That Regulate the Transportation of Hazardous Waste

More About…

US Department of Transportation

• Regulates the transportation of hazardous materials in commerce.

• Hazardous material = HazMat = hazardous waste from most hazardous waste generators.

US Environmental Protection Agency

• Regulates hazardous waste from Cradle to Grave.

• Cradle = Point of generation.

• to = Transportation.• Grave = Final treatment and disposal.


@DanielsTraining 7

“Most hazardous waste generators…?”

• US DOT defines a hazardous waste @ 49 CFR 171.8 as any material that requires a manifest.

• A Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generator (CESQG) is not required to use the Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest.

• Therefore the hazardous waste generated by a CESQG is not a hazardous waste per the US DOT.

• It may still be a hazardous material based on its potential hazards.
