NATIONAL BIENNIAL RCRA HAZARDOUS WASTE REPORT: BASED ON 1997 DATA
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), in partnership with the
States1, biennially collects information regarding the generation, management, and final
disposition of hazardous wastes regulated under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act
of 1976 (RCRA), as amended. The purpose of The National Biennial RCRA Hazardous Waste
Report (Based on 1997 Data) is to communicate the findings of EPAs 1997 Biennial Reporting
System (BRS) data collection efforts to the public, government agencies, and the regulated
community.2 The Report consists of six volumes:
Executive Summary provides an overview of national hazardous waste generation
and management practices;
National Analysis presents a detailed look at waste-handling practices in the EPA
Regions, States, and largest facilities nationally, including (1) the quantity of waste
generated, managed, shipped and received, and imported and exported between
States and (2) the number of generators and managing facilities;
State Summary Analysis provides a two-page overview of the generation and
management practices of individual States;
State Detail Analysis is a detailed look at each State's waste handling practices,
including overall totals for generation, management, and shipments and receipts,
as well as totals for the largest fifty facilities;
List of Large Quantity Generators identifies every hazardous waste generator in
the United States that reported itself to be a large quantity generator in 1997; and
List of Treatment, Storage, and Disposal Facilities identifies every hazardous
waste manager in the United States that reported itself to be a treatment, storage,
or disposal facility in 1997.
The term "State" includes the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, the Navajo Nation, the Trust Territories, and the
Virgin Islands, in addition to the 50 United States.
Some respondents from the States of Georgia and Connecticut submitted Confidential Business Information (CBI)
pursuant to §40 CFR 260.2(b). While not included in any public BRS database, CBI has been incorporated into the Executive
Summaryandt National Analysis volumes of this Report wherever possible. Where CBI has been omitted from these volumes, a
footnote has been provided.
Changes to the 1997 Biennial Reporting requirements will make cursory comparisons of the 1997 National Biennial
Report to earlier National Biennial Reports misleading. Refer to the Executive Summary (ES-2) for a complete
explanation.

NATIONAL BIENNIAL RCRA HAZARDOUS WASTE REPORT: BASED ON 1997 DATA
RCRA HAZARDOUS WASTE
Throughout this Report, the term RCRA hazardous waste refers to solid waste assigned
a Federal Hazardous Waste Code and regulated by RCRA. Some States elect to regulate
wastes not regulated by EPA; these wastes are assigned State Hazardous Waste Codes and
are not included in this Report. The reader can find more detailed explanations in the RCRA
Orientation Manual (http://www.epa.gov/epaoswer/general/orientat/) and in the Code of Federal
Regulations in 40 CFR Parts 260 and 261 (http://www.epa.gov/docs/epacfr40/chapt-
l.info/subch-l/). Please refer to Appendix E of this Report for a complete list of EPA Hazardous
Waste Codes used by the regulated community for their 1997 Biennial Report submissions.
Details about the information submitted by the regulated community can be found in the 1997
Hazardous Waste Report Instructions and Forms (http://www.epa.gov/epaoswer/hazwaste/
data/brsforms.htm).
CHANGES TO 1997 BIENNIAL REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
AND THE NATIONAL BIENNIAL REPORT DATA
PRESENTED IN THIS REPORT
In accordance with EPAs efforts to reduce the record keeping and reporting burden on
the regulated community, EPA streamlined the Federal data collection forms (1997 Hazardous
Waste Report Instructions and Forms) for the 1997 Biennial Report cycle by eliminating the
Process System (PS) Form. EPA would like to caution all readers of this Report that the
change to eliminate the PS Form, along with the changes to the reporting requirements for
aqueous wastes, commonly called wastewaters, managed in treatment systems regulated by
the Clean Water Act (CWA) and not by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA),
will make cursory comparisons of the 1997 National Biennial Report to earlier National Reports
misleading.
Wastewaters are defined for biennial reporting as wastes that have a particular form
and/or are managed on-site or off-site in treatment systems typically used to manage
wastewater. All wastes bearing one of the following wastewater Form Codes (B101-102; B105,
B110-116) and/or System Type Codes (M071-079; M081-085, 089; M091-094, 099; M121-125,
Changes to the 1997 Biennial Reporting requirements will make cursory comparisons of the 1997 National Biennial
Report to earlier National Biennial Reports misleading. Refer to the Executive Summary (ES-2) for a complete
explanation.

129; M134-136) are excluded from the National Report data and the 1997 National Biennial
Report, with one exception: waste waters managed by System Type Code M134
(Deepwell/Underground Injection) are included in the 1997 National Biennial Report.
Refer to Appendix C and D for complete descriptions of the Form Codes and System Type
Codes referenced above.
In previous National Reports, the PS Form was used to separate and exclude from the
National Report data all wastes going to on-site treatment systems exempt from RCRA
permitting requirements. For the 1997 National Biennial Report, EPA included all non-
wastewater data and excluded all wastewater data. The wastewater data was excluded
regardless of whether the wastes were managed in RCRA permitted systems prior to
management in on-site or off-site treatment systems exempt from RCRA permitting
requirements. This is significant, because historically EPA has included only those wastes
managed in units subject to RCRA permitting requirements in the National Biennial Reports.
EPA does not believe the inclusion of all non-wastewaters will distort the RCRA hazardous
waste management picture presented in this Report, because only a small volume of non-
wastewaters are managed in treatment systems exempt from RCRA permitting requirements.
RCRA HAZARDOUS WASTE GENERATION
RCRA hazardous waste generation information is obtained from data reported by RCRA
large quantity generators (LQGs). A generator is defined as a Federal large quantity generator if:
the generator generated in any single month 1,000 kg (2,200 pounds or 1.1 tons) or
more of RCRA hazardous waste; or
the generator generated in any single month, or accumulated at any time, 1 kg (2.2
pounds) of RCRA acute hazardous waste; or
the generator generated, or accumulated at any time, more than 100 kg (220
pounds) of spill cleanup material contaminated with RCRA acute hazardous waste.
Changes to the 1997 Biennial Reporting requirements will make cursory comparisons of the 1997 National Biennial
Report to earlier National Biennial Reports misleading. Refer to the Executive Summary (ES-2) for a complete
explanation.
-------
NATIONAL BIENNIAL RCRA HAZARDOUS WASTE REPORT: BASED ON 1997 DATA
All generators that reported LOG status in 1997 are required to provide EPA with 1997
waste generation and management information. It is important to note that the LQGs identified in
this Report have been included based on the most current information made available to EPA by
the States. Both EPA and the States have made a significant effort to ensure the accuracy of
this data. However, the LOG counts may include some generators that, when determining
whether they were LQGs, used a lower State-defined threshold for LQGs, counted wastes
regulated only by their States, or counted wastes exempt from Federal regulation.
To help provide a more accurate picture of hazardous waste generation in the United
States, EPA requests specific waste generation information from LQGs. For each RCRA
hazardous waste generated, LQGs are required to provide a waste description, the applicable
Federal Hazardous Waste Codes that most accurately represent the waste generated, and the
quantity of waste generated.
In 1997, 20,316 LQGs reported they generated 40.7 million tons of RCRA hazardous
waste. When comparing the 1995 National Biennial Report with the 1997 Report, the number of
LQGs decreased by 551, and the quantity of hazardous waste generated decreased by 173
million tons or 81 %. The decrease in national hazardous waste generation is due in large part to
the exclusion of wastewaters from the 1997 national reporting logic. Fora more detailed
description of the wastewater exclusion, please refer to the section of the Executive Summary
entitled "Changes to 1997 Biennial Reporting Requirements and the National Biennial Report
Data Presented in this Report."
The wastewater exclusion will make cursory comparisons between the 1997 National
Biennial Report and earlier National Reports misleading. To facilitate an accurate comparison,
Appendix B of the National Analysis provides the 1995 National Biennial Report data excluding
wastewater (i.e., the data was compiled using the same national reporting logic used to exclude
wastewater data from the 1997 National Report). As presented in Exhibit B.1, 36.3 million tons

of non-wastewater wastes were generated in 1995; therefore, a more accurate picture of the
change in national hazardous waste generation between 1995 and 1997 is an increase of 4.4
million tons or 11 %. Much of this increase resulted from a change in a few generators'
wastewater management practices. In 1995, a few generators reported managing wastewaters
in treatment systems exempt from RCRA permitting requirements, and, in accordance with the
1995 national reporting logic, these exempt wastewaters were excluded from the 1995 National
Biennial Report. In 1997, the same generators reported managing these same wastewaters in
Deepwell/Underground Injection (M134), a treatment system included in the 1997 National
Biennial Report.
As identified in Exhibit 1, the five (5) States which contributed most to the national
hazardous waste generation total in 1997 were Texas (19.0 million tons), Louisiana (4.6 million
tons), Illinois (2.2 million tons), Ohio (1.7 million tons), and Mississippi (1.7 million tons).
Together, the LQGs in these States accounted for 72% of the national total quantity generated.
Changes to the 1997 Biennial Reporting requirements will make cursory comparisons of the 1997 National Biennial
Report to earlier National Biennial Reports misleading. Refer to the Executive Summary (ES-2) for a complete
explanation.

NATIONAL BIENNIAL RCRA HAZARDOUS WASTE REPORT: BASED ON 1997 DATA
RCRA HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT
RCRA hazardous waste management information is obtained from data reported by
active, permitted RCRA treatment, storage, or disposal facilities (TSDs). A TSD is defined as any
facility which treats, stores, or disposes of RCRA hazardous waste, regardless of the quantity
managed. Only wastes that were treated or disposed of in 1997 are included in the management
quantities in this Report. Wastes generated and subsequently stored in 1997 are not included in
the management quantities in this Report.
To help provide a more accurate picture of hazardous waste management practices in
the United States, EPA requests specific waste management information from TSDs. For each
RCRA hazardous waste managed, TSDs are required to provide the quantity of waste managed
and the System Type Code which represents the management method used to manage the
waste.
It is important to note that the total quantity of RCRA hazardous waste generated is less
than the total quantity managed. Some of the reasons for this variance include: wastes generated
during non-reporting years but shipped and treated or disposed during a reporting year and wastes
received for management from generators in foreign countries.
In 1997, 2,025 TSDs reported they managed 37.7 million tons of RCRA hazardous waste.
Of the 2,025 facilities, 1,078 were storage-only facilities. When comparing the 1995 National
Biennial Report with the 1997 Report, the number of TSDs increased by 42, and the total quantity
of hazardous waste managed decreased by 170.5 million tons or 82%. This decrease was largely
attributable to the exclusion of wastewaters from the 1997 national reporting logic. For a more
detailed description of the wastewater exclusion, please refer to the section of the Executive
Summary entitled "Changes to 1997 Biennial Reporting Requirements and the Biennial Report
Data Presented in this Report."

NATIONAL BIENNIAL RCRA HAZARDOUS WASTE REPORT: BASED ON 1997 DATA
The wastewater exclusion will make cursory comparisons between the 1997 National
Biennial Report and earlier National Reports misleading. To facilitate an accurate comparison,
Appendix B of the National Analysis provides the 1995 National Biennial Report data excluding
wastewater (i.e., the data was compiled using the same national reporting logic used to exclude
wastewater data from the 1997 National Report.) As presented in Exhibit B.2, 35.1 million tons of
non-wastewater wastes were managed in 1995; therefore, a more accurate picture of the change
in national hazardous waste management between 1995 and 1997 is an increase of 2.6 million
tons or 7%. A large portion of this increase resulted from a change in wastewater management
practices. In 1995, a few TSDs reported managing wastewater in treatment systems exempt
from RCRA permitting requirements, and, in accordance with the 1995 national reporting logic,
these exempt wastewaters were excluded from the 1995 National Biennial Report. In 1997, the
same TSDs reported managing these same wastewaters in Deepwell/Underground Injection
(M134), a treatment system included in the 1997 National Biennial Report. Other factors
contributing to the increase included increased waste management activities due to a landfill
closing and remediation wastes from RCRA Corrective Action.
As identified in Exhibit 2, the five (5) States whose TSDs managed the largest quantities
of hazardous wastes were Texas (17.4 million tons), Louisiana (4.5 million tons), Ohio (1.7 million

States account for 71% of the national management total.
In 1997, land disposal accounted for 76% of the national non-wastewater management
total. Land disposal methods include:
Deepwell/Underground Injection 26 million tons
Landfill 1.5 million tons
Surface Impoundment 1 million tons
Land Treatment/Application/Farming 19 thousand tons

Hazardous Waste Codes, the quantity of waste shipped, and the EPA Identification Number of the
receiving facility. All RCRA non-wastewater shipments reported by RCRA LQGs and TSDs are
included in the waste shipment quantities in this Report, even if the waste was shipped to a
transfer facility. In some instances, waste is transferred within a physical location that has more
than one EPA Identification Number. These waste transfers are treated as shipments.
RCRA hazardous waste receipt information is obtained from data reported by RCRA
TSDs. To help provide a more accurate picture of hazardous waste receipts in the United States,
EPA requests certain receipt information from TSDs. For each waste received, TSDs are
required to provide a waste description, the applicable Federal Hazardous Waste Codes, the
quantity of waste received, and the EPA Identification Number of the facility from which the waste
was received. For each received waste which is subsequently managed, TSDs are required to
provide the System Type Code which represents the management method used to manage the
waste.
RCRA hazardous waste export quantities include wastes generated in one State and
shipped to a receiver in a different State. Exports are calculated from information provided by
waste shippers. RCRA hazardous waste imports include all wastes received by a State which
differs from the State of origin. RCRA hazardous waste imports are calculated from information
provided by RCRA TSDs.
In 1997, 18,029 shippers reported shipping 7.3 million tons of hazardous waste. When
comparing the 1995 National Biennial Report with the 1997 Report, the number of shippers
decreased by 2,468, and the quantity of waste shipped decreased by 3.3 million tons, a 31%
decrease. Some of the decrease in the quantity of waste shipped may be attributable to the
exclusion of wastewaters from the 1997 national biennial reporting logic. However, since
wastewaters are typically managed on-site rather than shipped off-site for management, the
decrease between 1995 and 1997 is more likely the result of other factors. For a more detailed
description of the wastewater exclusion, please refer to the section of the Executive Summary
entitled "Changes to 1997 Biennial Reporting Requirements and the National Biennial Report Data
Presented in this Report."

NATIONAL BIENNIAL RCRA HAZARDOUS WASTE REPORT: BASED ON 1997 DATA
The wastewater exclusion will make cursory comparisons between the 1997 National
Reports and earlier National Reports misleading. To facilitate an accurate comparison, Appendix
B of the National Analysis provides the 1995 National Report data excluding wastewater (i.e., the
data was compiled using the same national reporting logic used to exclude wastewater data from
the 1997 National Biennial Report). As presented in Exhibit B.3, 6.2 million tons of non-wastewater
wastes were shipped in 1995; therefore, a more accurate picture of the change in national
hazardous waste shipments between 1995 and 1997 is a decrease of 1.1 million tons or 15%.
Of the 7.3 million tons of RCRA hazardous waste shipped in 1997, 4.4 million tons of
waste were exported from the State in which they were generated to other States. When
comparing the 1995 National Biennial Report with the 1997 Report, the quantity of waste exported
decreased by 924 thousand tons or 17%. Some of the decrease in the quantity of waste exported
may be attributable to the exclusion of wastewaters from the 1997 national reporting logic.
However, since wastewaters are typically managed on-site rather than shipped off-site for
management, the decrease between 1995 and 1997 is more likely the result of other factors.
The wastewater exclusion will make cursory comparisons between the 1997 National

Appendix B of the National Analysis provides the 1995 National Report data excluding
wastewater (i.e., the data was compiled using the same national reporting logic used to exclude
wastewater data from the 1997 National Biennial Report). As presented in Exhibit B.5, 3.6 million
tons of non-wastewater wastes were exported to other States in 1995; therefore, a more accurate
picture of the change in national hazardous waste exports between 1995 and 1997 is an increase
of 753 thousand tons or 17%.
In 1997, 543 TSDs reported receiving 8 million tons of RCRA hazardous waste. When
comparing the 1995 National Biennial Report with the 1997 Report, the number of TSDs receiving
waste decreased by 101, and the quantity of waste received decreased by 1.3 million tons or 14%.
Some of the decrease in the quantity of waste received may be attributable to the exclusion of
wastewaters from the 1997 national reporting logic. However, since wastewaters are typically
managed on-site rather than shipped off-site for management, the decrease between 1995 and

Appendix B of the National Analysis provides the 1995 National Report data excluding wastewater
(i.e., the data was compiled using the same national reporting logic used to exclude wastewater

national hazardous waste receipts between 1995 and 1997 is an increase of 87 thousand tons or
1%.
Of the 8 million tons of RCRA hazardous waste received in 1997, 4 million tons of waste
were imported from other States. When comparing the 1995 National Biennial Report with the
1997 Report, the quantity of waste imported decreased by 1.9 million tons or 32%. Some of the
decrease in the quantity of waste imported may be attributable to the exclusion of wastewaters

NATIONAL BIENNIAL RCRA HAZARDOUS WASTE REPORT
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), in partnership with the States1, biennially
collects information regarding the generation, management, and final disposition of hazardous wastes
regulated under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA), as amended. The purpose
of this Report is to communicate the findings of EPAs 1997 Biennial Reporting System (BRS) data
collection efforts to the public, government agencies, and the regulated community.2
1.0 WASTE GENERATION
The following section provides an overview of the 1997 RCRA hazardous waste generation data through
a series of exhibits and textual summaries. For a complete description of this section's contents, please
refer to the Executive Summary sections entitled "RCRA Hazardous Waste" and "RCRA Hazardous Waste
Generation."
In 1997, 20,316 large quantity generators (LQGs) reported they generated 40.7 million tons3 of
hazardous wastes regulated by RCRA. When comparing the 1995 National Biennial Report with the 1997
Report, the number of LQGs decreased by 551, and the quantity of hazardous waste generated decreased
by 173 million tons or 81%. This decrease in national hazardous waste generation is due in large part to the
exclusion of wastewaters from the 1997 national reporting logic. For a more detailed description of the
wastewater exclusion, please refer to the section of the Executive Summary entitled "Changes to 1997
Biennial Reporting Requirements and the National Biennial Report Data Presented in this Report."
The wastewater exclusion will make cursory comparisons between the 1997 National Biennial Report
and earlier National Reports misleading. To facilitate an accurate comparison, Appendix B of this Report
provides the 1995 National Biennial Report data excluding wastewater (i.e., the data was compiled using

the same national reporting logic used to exclude wastewater data from the 1997 National Report). As
presented in Exhibit B.1, 36.3 million tons of non-wastewater wastes were generated in 1995; therefore, a
more accurate picture of the change in national hazardous waste generation between 1995 and 1997 is an
increase of 4.4 million tons or 11 %. Much of this increase resulted from a change in a few generators'
wastewater management practices. In 1995, a few generators reported managing wastewaters in treatment
systems exempt from RCRA permitting requirements, and, in accordance with the 1995 national reporting
logic, these exempt wastewaters were excluded from the 1995 National Biennial Report. In 1997, the same
generators reported managing these same wastewaters in Deepwell/Underground Injection (M134), a
treatment system included in the 1997 National Biennial Report.
Exhibits 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3 present the number of LQGs and the quantity of RCRA hazardous waste
generated by LQGs in each EPA Region4. LQGs in three (3) of the EPA Regions (Regions 6, 5, and 4)
produced 87% of the 40.7 million tons generated nationally in 1997. LQGs in Region 6 generated 25 million
tons (or 62% of the national total), LQGs in Region 5 generated 6.5 million tons (16%), and LQGs in Region
4 generated 3.7 million tons (9%).
As Exhibits 1.2 and 1.3 reveal, there is not necessarily a correlation between the Regions which
generate the largest quantities of hazardous waste and the Regions with the greatest number of LQGs. In
1997, the Regions with the most LQGs were Region 5 (4,318 or 21% of the national total), Region 2 (3,699
or 18%), and Region 4 (2,899 or 14%). These three (3) Regions accounted for 54% of the total number of
LQGs. While LQGs in Region 6 generated the largest percentage of hazardous waste (25 million tons), the
Region ranked fifth in number of LQGs (1,971). Region 5 had the most LQGs (4,318), though the Region
ranked second in hazardous waste generation (6.5 million tons). Region 8 had the fewest LQGs (351) and
also generated the least amount of hazardous waste (178 thousand tons).

Exhibits 1.4, 1.5, and 1.6 present the number of LQGs and the quantity of RCRA hazardous waste
generated by LQGs in each State. The five (5) States whose LQGs produced the largest amount of
hazardous waste were Texas (19.0 million tons), Louisiana (4.6 million tons), Illinois (2.2 million tons), Ohio
(1.7 million tons), and Mississippi (1.7 million tons). Together, the LQGs in these States accounted for 72%
of the national total quantity generated.
The States with the most LQGs were New York (2,772), California (1,782), Ohio (1,271), Texas
(1,219), Illinois (1,058), Pennsylvania (1,058), New Jersey (819), and Michigan (682). The LQGs in these
States accounted for 52% of the total number of LQGs.
Exhibit 1.7 provides a list of the 50 largest generators in the nation. The listed generators produced
79% (32.1 million tons) of the national total. Seventeen (17) of the top 50 generators are located in Texas,
the top-ranked State in hazardous waste generation. These 17 Texas LQGs accounted for 93% of the
State's generation total and 44% of the national generation total. The five (5) LQGs in Louisiana, the State
National Biennial Reports misleading. Refer to the Executive Summary (ES-2) for a complete explanation.

NATIONAL BIENNIAL RCRA HAZARDOUS WASTE REPORT: BASED ON 1997 DATA
ranked second in hazardous waste generation, accounted for 88% of the State's generation total and 10%
of the national generation total. Eight (8) of the largest generators are located in Illinois, Ohio, and
Mississippi, the States ranked third, fourth, and fifth, respectively, in hazardous waste generation. These
LQGs accounted for 11 % of the national total quantity generated.
Exhibit 1.8 illustrates the relationship between various hazardous waste generation quantity ranges
and the number of generators that generated within each range. Most of the LQGs (13,476 generators or
66% of the national total) generated between 1.1 and 113.2 tons in 1997. Only 44 LQGs (less than 1 % of all
LQGs) generated within the top tier of hazardous waste generation, over 111,113.2 tons, but these few
LQGs accounted for 78% of the national total quantity generated. Ninety-five percent (95%) of all LQGs
generated 1,113 tons or less in 1997.
National Biennial Reports misleading. Refer to the Executive Summary (ES-2) for a complete explanation.

Hazardous waste is categorized as either characteristic or listed waste. Both waste categories (and
the subcategories of each) are specifically described in §40 CFR5 261, and a list of EPA Hazardous Waste
Codes is provided as Appendix E of this Report.
Characteristic wastes refer to any solid waste that exhibits one or more of the following characteristics,
ignitability (D001), corrosivity (D002), or reactivity (D003), or contains toxic constituents in excess of Federal
standards (D004 to D043).
An ignitable waste is a solid waste that exhibits any of the following properties:
A liquid, except aqueous solutions containing less than 24 percent alcohol, with a flash point less
than 60 degrees Celsius (140 degrees Fahrenheit).
A nonliquid capable, under normal conditions, of spontaneous and sustained combustion.
Code of Federal Regulations.

-------
NATIONAL BIENNIAL RCRA HAZARDOUS WASTE REPORT: BASED ON 1997 DATA
An ignitable compressed gas as defined by Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations.
An oxidizer per DOT regulations.
A corrosive waste is a solid waste that exhibits the following properties:
An aqueous material with pH less than or equal to 2, or greater than or equal to 12.5.
A liquid that corrodes steel at a rate greater than 1/4 inch per year at a temperature of 55
degrees Celsius (130 degrees Fahrenheit).
A reactive waste is a solid waste that exhibits the following properties:
Normally unstable and reacts violently without detonating.
Reacts violently with water.
Forms an explosive mixture with water.
Contains cyanide or sulfide and generates toxic gases, vapors, or fumes at a pH of between 2
and 12.5.
Capable of detonation if heated under confinement or subjected to a strong initiating source.
Capable of detonation at standard temperature and pressure.
Listed by DOT as Class A or B explosive.
Wastes with the toxicity characteristic are identified through failure of the Toxicity Characteristic
Leaching Procedure Test (TCLP). A solid waste exhibits the toxicity characteristic if, using the TCLP or an
equivalent method, the extract from a representative sample of the waste contains any of the contaminants
D004 to D043 at a concentration equal to or greater than the value described in §40 CFR 261.24.
The term "listed waste" (F, K, P, and U codes) refers to waste that EPA has identified as hazardous as
a result of its investigations of particular industries or because EPA has specifically recognized a
commercial chemical waste's toxicity. A solid waste is a "listed" hazardous waste if it is named on one of
three lists developed by EPA:
• Non-specific source wastes ('F wastes): These are generic wastes, commonly produced by
manufacturing and industrial processes. Examples from this list include spent halogenated solvents
used in degreasing, and wastewater treatment sludge from electroplating processes, as well as
dioxin wastes, most of which are acutely hazardous wastes due to the danger they present to human
health and the environment.

-------
NATIONAL BIENNIAL RCRA HAZARDOUS WASTE REPORT: BASED ON 1997 DATA
• Specific source wastes ('K' wastes): This list consists of wastes from specifically identified
industries such as wood preserving, petroleum refining, and organic chemical manufacturing. These
wastes typically include sludges, still bottoms, wastewater, spent catalysts, and residues, (e.g.,
wastewater treatment sludge from pigment production).
• Commercial chemical products ('P' and 'IT wastes): The third list consists of specific commercial
chemical products, or manufacturing chemical intermediates. This list includes chemicals such as
chloroform and creosote, acids such as sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid, and pesticides such as
DDT and kepone. The 'IT wastes include toxic chemicals while 'P' waste listings are reserved for
acutely toxic chemicals.
Exhibits 1.9, 1.10, and 1.11 divide the 1997 national generation total according to the percentage of
characteristic, listed, or a mixture of characteristic and listed. Wastes categorized as only characteristic
wastes represented 54% (21.8 million tons) of the national generation total, while listed-only wastes
comprised 23% (9.2 million tons), and wastes with both characteristic and listed waste codes constituted
9.7 million tons (24%) of the national total. Mixed wastes (wastes which have multiple characteristics, are
listed on more than one list, or are both) represented 9.6 million tons of the national generation total in 1997.

NATIONAL BIENNIAL RCRA HAZARDOUS WASTE REPORT: BASED ON 1997 DATA
2.0 WASTE MANAGEMENT
The following section provides an overview of the 1997 RCRA hazardous waste management data
through a series of exhibits and textual summaries. For a complete description of this section's contents,
please refer to the Executive Summary sections entitled "RCRA Hazardous Waste" and "RCRA Hazardous
Waste Management." Also, Appendix C provides a complete list of management systems and the System
Type Codes used to identify them.
In 1997, 2,025 treatment, storage, or disposal (TSD) facilities reported they managed 37.7 million tons
of hazardous waste through treatment, storage, or disposal. Of the 2,025 TSDs, 1,078 were storage-only
facilities in 1997. When comparing the 1995 National Biennial Report with the 1997 Report, the number of
TSDs increased by 42, while the quantity of hazardous waste managed decreased 170.5 million tons. This
82% decrease was largely attributable to the exclusion of wastewaters from the 1997 national reporting
logic. For a more detailed description of the wastewater exclusion, please refer to the section of the
Executive Summary entitled "Changes to 1997 Biennial Reporting Requirements and the National Biennial
Report Data Presented in this Report."
The wastewater exclusion will make cursory comparisons between the 1997 National Biennial Report
and earlier National Reports misleading. To facilitate an accurate comparison, Appendix B of this Report
provides the 1995 National Biennial Report data excluding wastewater (i.e., the data was compiled using the
same national reporting logic used to exclude wastewater data from the 1997 National Report). As
presented in Exhibit B.2, 35.1 million tons of non-wastewater wastes were managed in 1995; therefore, a
more accurate picture of the change in national hazardous waste management between 1995 and 1997 is
an increase of 2.6 million tons or 7%. A large portion of this increase resulted from a change in wastewater
management practices. In 1995, a few TSDs reported managing wastewaters in treatment systems
exempt from RCRA permitting requirements, and, in accordance with the 1995 national reporting logic,
these exempt wastewaters were excluded from the 1995 National Biennial Report. In 1997, the same TSDs
reported managing these same wastewaters in Deepwell/Underground Injection (M134), a treatment system
included in the 1997 National Biennial Report. Other factors contributing to the increase included increased
waste management activities due to a landfill closing and remediation wastes from RCRA Corrective Action.
National Biennial Reports misleading. Refer to the Executive Summary (ES-2) for a complete explanation.

NATIONAL BIENNIAL RCRA HAZARDOUS WASTE REPORT: BASED ON 1997 DATA
Exhibits 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3 present the quantity of RCRA hazardous waste managed and the number of
TSDs in each EPA Region6. TSDs located in three (3) Regions managed 83% of the 37.7 million tons
managed nationally in 1997. These Regions were Region 6 (23.5 million tons), Region 5 (4.8 million tons),
and Region 4 (3.2 million tons). As would seem logical, Region 6, Region 5, and Region 4 were also the
top-ranked Regions, respectively, in hazardous waste generation in 1997.
While TSDs in Region 6 managed the largest percentage of waste in the nation, the Region ranked
fourth in the number of TSDs (271). The three (3) Regions with the most TSDs were Region 5 (447),
Region 4 (341), and Region 9 (284). These three (3) Regions combined accounted for 53% of the total
number of TSDs. Region 10 had the fewest TSDs (50).
Appendix A includes a list of States by EPA Region.

Exhibits 2.4, 2.5, and 2.6 present the quantity of RCRA hazardous waste managed and the number
of TSDs in each State. TSDs in Texas managed the largest amount of waste (17.4 million tons), followed
by Louisiana (4.5 million tons), Ohio (1.7 million tons), Mississippi (1.7 million tons), and Kansas (1.6 million
tons). Together, the TSDs in these States accounted for 71 % of the national management total.
California reported the most TSDs (250), followed by Texas (135), Wisconsin (132), Michigan (113),
North Carolina (100), Illinois (86), New Jersey (85), Missouri (83), and New York (73). TSDs in these States
constituted 53% of the total number of TSDs. The Navajo Nation reported no TSDs. Vermont, Wyoming,
South Dakota, the District of Columbia, Guam, and New Hampshire all reported having TSD facilities but
zero management quantities. The TSDs in these States reported storage-only management or the
management of wastewaters excluded from the 1997 national reporting logic.
Exhibit 2.7 presents the 50 largest RCRA hazardous waste management facilities in the United
States in 1997. Collectively, these TSDs accounted for 84% of the national management total. The largest
generator, E.I. Du Pont De Nemours & Co., in Victoria, Texas, also managed the most waste, 4.3 million
tons.

NATIONAL BIENNIAL RCRA HAZARDOUS WASTE REPORT: BASED ON 1997 DATA
Large TSDs in the five (5) States which managed the most waste, Texas, Louisiana, Ohio, Mississippi,
and Kansas, also accounted for the majority of each State's management totals. Fifteen (15) Texas TSDs
managed 45% of the national management total and 97% of the State's management total. The largest
Louisiana facilities managed 11 % of the national management total and accounted for 89% of the State's
management total. The three (3) Ohio TSDs managed 77% of the hazardous waste managed in Ohio. In
Mississippi, the two (2) largest TSDs managed 97% of the State's management total. The one (1) Kansas TSD
managed nearly all of the waste managed in the State, 1 million tons or 92% of the State total.
Exhibits 2.8, 2.9, and 2.10 provide an overview of the various management methods and quantity of
waste managed by each method. As stated earlier, all wastewaters were excluded from the 1997 National
Report data, therefore, most management methods employed for managing the wastewater (including aqueous
treatment units and direct discharge to sewer/POTW or to surface water under NPDES) have also been
excluded from this Report. However, wastes managed in Deepwell/Underground Injection (M134) are included in
this Report.
Land disposal accounted for 76% of the national non-wastewater management total. The land disposal
units and quantity managed by method include:
Deepwell/Underground Injection 26 million tons
Landfill 1.5 million tons
Surface Impoundment 1 million tons
Land Treatment/Application/Farming 19 thousand tons
Recovery operations represented 10% of the national non-wastewater management total. The methods
defined as recovery operations and the quantity managed by each method include:
Fuel Blending 1.5 million tons
Metals Recovery (for Reuse) 1.1 million tons
Solvents Recovery 617 thousand tons
Other Recovery 443 thousand tons

NATIONAL BIENNIAL RCRA HAZARDOUS WASTE REPORT: BASED ON 1997 DATA
Thermal treatment accounted for 9% of the national non-wastewater management total. Thermal
treatment methods include:
Energy Recovery (for Reuse as Fuel) 1.7 million tons
Incineration 1.7 million tons
The remaining non-wastewater management quantities (5%) were managed in other treatment and
disposal units, including:
Stabilization 1.4 million tons
Sludge Treatment 411 thousand tons
Other Disposal (Specified in Comments) 251 thousand tons
Exhibits 2.11, 2.12, and 2.13 present the management methods used for treating or disposing of wastes
received from off-site and the quantity managed by each method. In 1997, 6.8 million tons (18% of the
national management total) of waste was received from off-site and subsequently managed on-site in treatment
and disposal units. As stated earlier, all wastewaters were excluded from the 1997 National Report data,
therefore, most management methods employed for managing the wastewater (including aqueous treatment
units and direct discharge to sewer/POTW or to surface water under NPDES) have also been excluded from
this Report. However, wastes managed in Deepwell/Underground Injection (M134) are included in this Report.
Recovery operations were used to manage 41% of the non-wastewater waste received from off-site
and managed on-site. Recovery operations include:
Fuel Blending 1.3 million tons

Other treatment and disposal units were used to manage the remaining 17% of the national non-
wastewater management total for wastes received from off-site and managed on-site. Other treatment and
disposal units include:
Stabilization 1.1 million tons
Other Disposal 25 thousand tons
Sludge treatment 20 thousand tons
A comparison of the management profile for all wastes and for wastes received from off-site shows that
wastes managed off-site are managed differently. Most wastes managed on-site were managed in
Deepwell/Underground Injection. The majority of wastes received from off-site were managed by Fuel Blending,
Stabilization, or Landfill.

NATIONAL BIENNIAL RCRA HAZARDOUS WASTE REPORT: BASED ON 1997 DATA
3.0 SHIPMENTS AND RECEIPTS
The following section provides an overview of the 1997 RCRA hazardous waste shipping7 and receiving
data through a series of exhibits and textual summaries. For a complete description of this section's contents,
please refer to the Executive Summary sections entitled "RCRA Hazardous Waste" and "RCRA Hazardous
Waste Shipments and Receipts."
In 1997, 18,029 shippers reported shipping (either within the State or between States) 7.3 million tons of
RCRA hazardous waste. When comparing the 1995 National Biennial Report with the 1997 Report, the number
of shippers decreased by 2,468, and the quantity of waste shipped decreased by 3.3 million tons or 31 %. Some
of the decrease in the quantity of waste shipped may be attributable to the exclusion of wastewaters from the
1997 National Biennial Report data. However, since wastewaters are typically managed on-site rather than
shipped off-site for management, the decrease between 1995 and 1997 is more likely the result of other factors.
For a more detailed description of the wastewater exclusion, please refer to the section of the Executive
Summary entitled "Changes to 1997 Biennial Reporting Requirements and the Biennial Report Data Presented
in this Report."
The wastewater exclusion will make cursory comparisons between the 1997 National Biennial Report
and earlier National Reports misleading. To facilitate an accurate comparison, Appendix B of this Report
provides the 1995 National Report data excluding wastewater (i.e., the data was compiled using the same
national reporting logic used to exclude wastewater data from the 1997 National Biennial Report). As presented
in Exhibit B.3, 6.2 million tons of non-wastewater wastes were shipped in 1995; therefore, a more accurate
picture of the change in national hazardous waste shipments between 1995 and 1997 is a decrease of 1.1
million tons or 15%.
Exhibits 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3 present the quantity of waste shipped and the number of shippers in each EPA
Region8. Region 5 reported the largest number of shippers (3,988) and also reported shipping the greatest
amount of waste, 2.3 million tons or 31 % of the national shipment total. Region 8 reported the fewest shippers
(335), while shippers in Region 10 reported shipping the least amount of waste (147 thousand tons).
7 The term "shipment" refers to the physical transfer of waste from one facility to another. In some instances, waste is transferred within a physical
location that has more than one EPA Identification Number. These waste transfers are treated as shipments.
o
Appendix A includes a list of States by EPA Region.

Exhibits 3.4, 3.5, and 3.6 present the quantity of RCRA hazardous waste shipped and the number of
shippers in each State. New York reported the most shippers (1,856), followed by California (1,713), Ohio
(1,165), Texas (1,155), Pennsylvania (1,009), Illinois (972), New Jersey (749), and Michigan (632). Shippers in
these States constituted 51 % of the total number of shippers. South Carolina reported no shippers or shipments
in 1997. Texas reported shipping the most waste, 1 million tons or 14% of the national shipment total. Ohio (564
thousand tons), California (564 thousand tons), Michigan (541 thousand tons), Minnesota (425 thousand tons),
Indiana (365 thousand tons), Pennsylvania (311 thousand tons), and Illinois (292 thousand tons) were also
among the top States in quantity of waste shipped. Shippers in these States accounted for 56% of the national
shipment total. The 50 largest shippers in the United States are presented in Exhibit 3.7, and their shipments
accounted for 37% of the national shipment total in 1997.

NATIONAL BIENNIAL RCRA HAZARDOUS WASTE REPORT: BASED ON 1997 DATA
In 1997, 543 TSDs reported receiving 8 million tons of RCRA hazardous waste. When comparing the
1995 National Biennial Report with the 1997 Report, the number of TSDs receiving waste dropped by 101, and
the quantity of waste received decreased by 1.3 million tons or 14%. Some of the decrease in the quantity of
waste received may be attributable to the exclusion of wastewaters from the 1997 National Biennial Report data.
However, since wastewaters are typically managed on-site rather than shipped off-site for management, the
decrease between 1995 and 1997 is more likely the result of other factors.
The wastewater exclusion will make cursory comparisons between the 1997 National Biennial Report
and earlier National Reports misleading. To facilitate an accurate comparison, Appendix B of this Report
provides the 1995 National Report data excluding wastewater (i.e., the data was compiled using the same
national reporting logic used to exclude wastewater data from the 1997 National Biennial Report). As presented
in Exhibit B.4, 7.9 million tons of non-wastewater wastes were received by TSDs in 1995; therefore, a more
accurate picture of the change in national hazardous waste receipts between 1995 and 1997 is an increase of
87 thousand tons or 1 %.
Exhibits 3.8, 3.9, and 3.10 present the quantity of RCRA hazardous waste received and the number of
receivers in each EPA Region. Region 5 reported the most receiving facilities (109), and these facilities also
received the most waste (2.6 million tons, or 32% of the national receipt total). Region 1 reported receiving the
least amount of waste (100 thousand tons), while Region 10 reported the fewest receivers (21).
National Biennial Reports misleading. Refer to the Executive Summary (ES-2) for a complete explanation.

Exhibits 3.11, 3.12, and 3.13 present the quantity of RCRA hazardous waste received (both from within
and from outside of the State) and the number of receivers in each State. California reported the most receivers
(50), followed by Texas (41), Pennsylvania (30), New York (26), Ohio (25), Florida (21), Indiana (21), Illinois (20),
Michigan (20), and Missouri (20). Receivers in these States constituted 50% of the total number of receivers.
California also reported receiving the largest quantity of waste (1.5 million tons), followed by Michigan (733
thousand tons), Ohio (693 thousand tons), Indiana (611 thousand tons), Texas (513 thousand tons),
Pennsylvania (447 thousand tons), South Carolina (413 thousand tons), and Illinois (355 thousand tons).
Receivers from these States accounted for 66% of the national waste receipt total. Eight (8) States reported
they did not have any TSDs that received hazardous waste in 1997: the District of Columbia, Guam, Montana,
the Navajo Nation, New Hampshire, the Trust Territories, the Virgin Islands, and Wyoming.
Exhibit 3.14 presents the 50 largest RCRA hazardous waste receivers in the United States for 1997. The
TSDs on this list received 68% of all waste received in 1997.
As a cursory comparison of the shipment and receipt data reveals, the total quantity of waste reported
shipped in 1997 is 664 thousand tons less than the total quantity received. The Executive Summary section
entitled "RCRA Hazardous Waste Shipments and Receipts" provides an explanation for the discrepancies
between the amount of waste reported shipped and the amount reported received.
National Biennial Reports misleading. Refer to the Executive Summary (ES-2) for a complete explanation.

NATIONAL BIENNIAL RCRA HAZARDOUS WASTE REPORT: BASED ON 1997 DATA
4.0 IMPORTS AND EXPORTS
The following section provides an overview of the 1997 RCRA hazardous waste imports and exports data
through exhibits and textual summaries. Only those quantities of waste that enter or leave the State are included
in this category. For a complete description of this section's contents, please refer to the Executive Summary
sections entitled "RCRA Hazardous Waste" and "RCRA Hazardous Waste Shipments and Receipts."
Of the 8 million tons of RCRA hazardous waste received in 1997, 4 million tons of waste were imported
from other States. This is a 1.9 million ton or 32% decrease when compared to the 1995 National Biennial
Report. Of the 7.3 million tons of RCRA hazardous waste shipped in 1997, 4.4 million tons of waste were
exported to other States. This reflects a 924 thousand ton or 17% decline in exports when compared to the 1995
National Biennial Report. Some of the decrease in the quantity of waste imported or exported may be
attributable to the exclusion of wastewaters from the 1997 National Biennial Report data. However, since
wastewaters are typically managed on-site rather than shipped off-site for management, the decrease is more
likely the result of other factors. For a more detailed description of the wastewater exclusion, please refer to the
section of the Executive Summary entitled "Changes to the 1997 Biennial Reporting Requirements and the
National Biennial Report Data Presented in this Report."
The wastewater exclusion will make cursory comparisons between the 1997 National Biennial Report
and earlier National Reports misleading. To facilitate an accurate comparison, Appendix B of this Report
provides the 1995 National Report data excluding wastewater (i.e., the data was compiled using the same
national reporting logic used to exclude wastewater data from the 1997 National Biennial Report). As presented
in Exhibit B.5, 5.1 million tons of non-wastewater wastes were imported from other States in 1995; therefore, a
more accurate picture of the change in national hazardous waste imports between 1995 and 1997 is a decrease
of 1.1 million tons or 22%. Likewise, as presented in Exhibit B.5, 3.6 million tons of non-wastewater wastes
were exported to other States in 1995; therefore, a more accurate picture of the change in national hazardous
waste exports between 1995 and 1997 is an increase of 753 thousand tons or 17%.
National Biennial Reports misleading. Refer to the Executive Summary (ES-2) for a complete explanation.

NATIONAL BIENNIAL RCRA HAZARDOUS WASTE REPORT: BASED ON 1997 DATA
Exhibit 4.1 presents the quantity of RCRA hazardous waste imported and exported by each EPA
Region1. Receivers in Region 5 reported importing the largest quantity of waste (1.3 million tons), and shippers
in the Region also exported the most waste (1.3 million tons). Receivers in Region 1 reported receiving the least
amount of waste from out-of-State (54 thousand tons), while shippers in Region 8 reported exporting the least
(86 thousand tons).

Exhibit 4.2 presents the quantity of RCRA hazardous waste imported and exported by each State. The five
(5) States whose TSDs reported importing the most hazardous waste were Ohio (428 thousand
tons), Michigan (394 thousand tons), South Carolina (316 thousand tons), Pennsylvania (309 thousand tons),
California (270 thousand tons), Indiana (235 thousand tons), and Missouri (195 thousand tons). The TSDs in
these States imported 54% of the national total of waste imports. Eleven (11) States reported they did not have
any TSDs that imported waste in 1997: Alaska, the District of Columbia, Guam, Maine, Montana, the Navajo
Nation, New Hampshire, New Mexico, the Trust Territories, the Virgin Islands, and Wyoming.
Appendix A includes a list of States by EPA Region.

NATIONAL BIENNIAL RCRA HAZARDOUS WASTE REPORT: BASED ON 1997 DATA
The five (5) States whose shippers reported exporting the most hazardous waste were Minnesota (412
thousand tons), Ohio (313 thousand tons), Georgia (250 thousand tons), Texas (228 thousand tons), California
(207 thousand tons), Illinois (206 thousand tons), Arkansas (203 thousand tons), Pennsylvania (191 thousand
tons), and Michigan (189 thousand tons). The exports from these five (5) States accounted for 50% of the
national total of hazardous waste exports. South Carolina reported they did not have any shippers that exported
waste in 1997.
As a cursory comparison of the import and export data reveals, the total quantity of waste reported imported
in 1997 is 413 thousand tons less than the total quantity exported. The Executive Summary section entitled
"RCRA Hazardous Waste Shipments and Receipts" provides an explanation for the discrepancies between the
amount of waste reported shipped and the amount reported received.
Changes to the 1997'BiennialReporting requirements will make cursorycomparisons ol'the 1997'NationalBiennialReportto earlier
National Biennial Reports misleading. Refer to the Executive Summary (ES-2) for a complete explanation.

NATIONAL BIENNIAL RCRA HAZARDOUS WASTE REPORT: BASED ON 1997 DATA
Appendix B provides the 1995 National Biennial Report data excluding wastewater (i.e., the data
was compiled using the same national reporting logic used to exclude wastewater data from the 1997
National Report). Because the wastewater exclusion will make cursory comparisons between the 1997
National Biennial Report and earlier National Reports misleading, EPA is providing the 1995 BRS data
in this format to facilitate an accurate comparison of the changes in generation, management, shipping,
receiving, and imports and exports between the 1995 and 1997 biennial reporting cycles. For a more
detailed description of the wastewater exclusion, please refer to the section of the Executive Summary
entitled "Changes to 1997 Biennial Reporting Requirements and the National Biennial Report Data
Presented in this Report."
National Biennial Reports misleading. Refer to the Executive Summary (ES-2) for a complete explanation.
