Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifests


The following information is for Washington County hazardous waste generators.

As of Sept. 5, 2006, all generators sending a hazardous waste shipment off-site must use the EPA's Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest (EPA form 8700-22).

Information and instructions to complete the EPA Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest is available at the EPA website and the MPCA website. Generators are responsible for ensuring their manifests are completed correctly.

Some wastes do not require a manifest for off-site shipments. However, proper documentation for shipment of these wastes may still be required. These wastes include:

  • Hazardous wastes from a VSQG delivered to a licensed VSQG collection site
  • Lead acid batteries
  • Dental amalgam
  • Silver fixer and silver bearing film
  • Universal Wastes – which includes lamps, rechargeable batteries, mercury bearing equipment, and pesticides
  • Oil and oily wastes
  • Cathode ray tubes (CRT's) and electronic wastes

Generator Manifest Copies – Where To And When

The EPA Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifests are six pages.

Your transporter will leave you (the generator) page number 6 (the Generator or Initial Copy).

Photocopy page number 6.
  • Within five days of the hazardous waste shipment, send the photocopy to the appropriate Minnesota regulatory agency.
  • VSQG's to:
  • Hazardous Waste Manifest Program

    Mail Code 609

    300 Sixth St.

  • Minneapolis  MN  55487

SQG's and LQG's to:

  • MPCA ATTN: HWIMS
    520 Lafayette Road N.

A facility that receives your hazardous waste will sign and return page number 3 (the Final or Facility Copy). The facility must return the signed page number 3 to the generator within 30 days of accepting waste.
  • If you do not receive a signed copy of page number 3 within 35 days of your waste shipment, contact the facility. You may also want to contact the transporter. 
  • If you do not receive a signed page number 3 from the facility within 45 days of the shipment, you must file an exception report with the MPCA.  (It's a good idea to call your inspector, in addition to filing the Exception Report.)

What is an Exception Report?

 

If you do not receive the final page from the facility within 45 days of the date the waste was accepted at the facility, you must send an exception report to the MPCA. An exception report is simply:

  • A letter addressed and sent to the MPCA Commissioner and WashingtonCounty Hazardous Waste Program stating the problem and what you have done to locate your waste; and,
  • A photocopy of the initial manifest page from your records.

Keep a copy of this exception report in your records for a minimum of three years.



Photocopy the signed page number 3 (the Final or Facility Copy).
  • Within 40 days of the date the waste was accepted at the facility, send the photocopy of the signed page number 3 to:
