Hazardous Waste Manifests Updates

On Sept. 5, 2006, all hazardous waste generators are required to use the new Federal Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest. For more information on the changes or to order new manifests, visit the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's manifest information. You may also contact your licensed hazardous waste transporter to learn if they have new procedures or updates due to
the changes.

Effective Sept. 5, 2006:

Generators may no longer order hazardous waste manifests from the Missouri Department of Natural Resources.
Generators may no longer use the Missouri manifest for shipments of hazardous waste.
Generators and Treatment, Storage and Disposal Facilities must follow the manifest distribution outlined in the federal register.
Treatment, Storage and Disposal Facilities will still send the appropriate page of the manifest to

Missouri Department of Natural Resources
Hazardous Waste Program
P.O. Box 176
Jefferson City, MO 65102-0176
Generators may still use specific gravity to calculate the weight of hazardous waste in order to calculate hazardous waste fees; however, Missouri can no longer require specific gravity be recorded on the Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest.
Generators do not need to include their Missouri generator identification number on the Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest.
Generators should use state waste codes on the Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest if federal waste codes do not apply. These include M001 through M012 for PCB wastes, MH02 for dioxin waste, D096 for the disposal of used oil with less than 50 ppm PCB's and D098 for the disposal of used oil.
The Hazardous Waste Generator's Exception Report PDF is now available online. Use this form when you have not received a manifest back from the designated facility within 35 days of the initial shipment. The generator must file the exception report with the department within 45 days of the initial shipment. Send exception reports to

Generators should use the new Generator's Hazardous Waste Summary Report forms. The changes to the forms make the reports consistent with the new universal manifest.
