“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.
