Helpful Hints on Updating Your Hazardous Waste Generator Information.

If you are a SQG or a LQG, keep your hazardous waste generator information
up to date. Always submit reports and fees on time. It is important to remember that you must update your registration whenever you have a change in:

- Business name,
- Ownership,
- Waste stream(s),
- Generator status,
- Street address,
- Contact person,
- Mailing address,
- Phone number or area code.

The first five changes listed above must be completed in writing using the Notification of Regulated Waste Activity Form available at /moeforms/norwaredirect.jsp. Send your notification by mail to the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, Hazardous Waste Program, P.O. Box 176, Jefferson City, MO 65102-0176. If there is a change in ownership, your business will be required to pay a $100 registration fee. When you have a change in street address, for instance
when a town renames a street or alters numbering in a neighborhood, your business will keep its original generator identification number. If your business changes locations you will need to register the new location and request a new generator identification number using the above form. Your
old generator identification number is not transferable. If your company changes from regulated status (SQG or LQG) down to an unregulated status (CESQG or Inactive), then you must request that status change by letter. Any business making this type of change is required to complete reports for any reporting year that the generator number was in a regulated status. The last three changes in the above list can be made in writing or by contacting Mr. David Green of the department's Budget and Planning Section at 573-751-3204 or by email at david.green@dnr.mo.gov.

The Inactivated Hazardous Waste Generator List is Improved!

The Department of Natural Resources has added additional fields to the downloadable report of generators that have been administratively inactivated for failure to complete reporting requirements or failure to pay applicable fees. Hazardous waste transporters and permitted treatment, storage, and disposal facilities use this list to determine if they can accept hazardous waste from a business. The additional information includes the date each generator was administratively inactivated and the date the downloadable report was last updated. To view this list, click on the link below which takes you to the Hazardous Waste Program’s home page: /env/hwp/index.html Then roll your cursor over the list of subjects in green on the left side of the screen to the subject titled -Data Downloads- and click on -Deactivated Waste Generators- from this list of report names.

You may then choose from the following list of reports to view or download:

A printable pdf list of generators by EPA Identification Number;
A printable pdf list of generators by company name; of
A comma-delimited ACSII file which can be downloaded and imported into your data base.

For further information on these administratively inactivated generator reports, call 573-751-3204.

Payment due BEFORE January 1!

If you are a small or large quantity generator in Missouri, you are required by law to pay certain hazardous waste fees before January 1, 2007. That means your payment should be mailed early to ensure it arrives on time. With the rush of holidays and wintertime sick days, it is all too easy to miss the hazardous waste fees due date. It is important to send in your payment as early as you can. Failure to pay the assessed fees on time will result in a 15 percent penalty. If you owe a land disposal fee, an interest rate of 10 percent per annum will also be charged. If you have not received your hazardous waste billing, it may be that you have not filed your hazardous waste summary reports or the department has not received your annual or quarterly hazardous waste summary reports. Please contact the Hazardous Waste Program's Fee and Tax Unit at 573-751-3176 for more information.

New! Changes to the Generator's Hazardous Waste Summary Report Forms

A new version of the Generator’s Hazardous Waste Summary Report is now available. This change makes the Summary Report consistent with the new uniform manifest required by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency rule effective Sept. 5, 2006. The main change to the Summary Report is that the new management method code replaces the final handling code. The management method code from the uniform manifest must be used on the updated version of the Summary Report instead of the final handling code. The management method code is a four digit code that begins with the letter H. The only other Summary Report change is that there is now room for 6 waste codes per line in Section H as opposed to the previous 4 waste codes.

The new form is required for Summary Reports beginning with the September 2006 quarter, if you report on a quarterly basis. If you report on an annual basis, you are required to use this form to report for July 1, 2006 to June 30, 2007. The electronic Summary Report form has also been updated. Summary Reports filed using the previous version will not be accepted and will be returned. If you want to receive a hard copy of the form, you may request one from Janet Rush with the department's Hazardous Waste Program at 573-751-2524. If you have any questions, call David Green with the Hazardous Waste Program at 573-751-3204.
