Notification of dangerous waste activity

Apply for an EPA/State ID Number

Step 1: Look up a site to check if it has an existing Site ID number already. If there is an existing number follow these instructions to request access.

Step 2: If no number is assigned, follow the guidance to apply for a new Site ID number.
EPA/State ID Numbers are created in RCRAInfo. You must have an industry account.

Note: EPA/State ID Numbers are NOT transferable to other physical locations (unless you are a transporter).

Deactivate an EPA/State ID number

Once an EPA/State ID number is assigned to a site, it stays active. You can only deactivate your number once all of the following conditions are met:​

• All dangerous waste activity has stopped.
• All dangerous wastes have been removed from the site.
• We have received all Dangerous Waste Reports for all active years.
  Note: You cannot submit an annual or biennial report and deactivate at the same time.
• Complete the instructions based on your generator type (below).

Generators must submit a notification BEFORE beginning the treatment process. In your notification, be sure to:

• Include TBG in the treatment by generator section on the Washington State Addendum.
• Note the type of treatment in the comment section (such as neutralization, filtration, solidification and stabilization, carbon adsorption, evaporation, or separation).

No. All reporting must be submitted online through EPA’s reporting platform, RCRAInfo. We no longer accept paper forms. This includes reports and all notification types.

EPA/State ID numbers are NOT transferable (unless you are a transporter). If your business moves to a new location and continues to generate dangerous waste, you must:

1. Deactivate the EPA/State ID number for the old location.
2. Apply for an EPA/State ID number for the new location or reactivate a previously withdrawn number for the new location.

You can view previously submitted TurboWaste data using this search tool.

If you are a transporter, you can take your number with you as long as you have NOT generated waste on the site.

To update your site location information, submit a notification via RCRAInfo.
