RCRA Hazardous Waste
Report (Based on 1993 Data)
-------
Executive Summary
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), in cooperation with the
States,1 biennially collects information regarding the generation, management, and final
disposition of hazardous wastes regulated under the Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act of 1 976 (RCRA), as amended. The purpose of this report is to communicate the
findings of EPA's 1993 Biennial Reporting System (BRS) data collection efforts to the
public, government agencies, and the regulated community.2 The report consists of six
documents:
o Executive Summary--an overview of national hazardous waste generation
and management practices;
o National Analysis~a detailed look at waste handling practices in the EPA
Regions, the States and at the largest facilities in the nation, including
quantities of generation, management, shipments and receipts, and interstate
imports and exports, as well as counts of generators and managers;
o State Summary Analysis-two page overviews of the generation and
management practices of individual States;
o State Detail Analysis-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;
o List of Large Quantity Generators-identifies every hazardous waste generator
in the United States that reported itself to be a large quantity generator in
1993; and
o 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 1993.
'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.
2Some respondents have 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 this report wherever possible. Where CBI has been
omitted to preserve confidentiality, a footnote has been provided.

National Biennial RCRA Hazardous Waste Report: Based on 1993 Data
RCRA HAZARDOUS WASTE GENERATION
In 1993, 24,362 large quantity generators produced 258 million tons of hazardous
wastes regulated by RCRA.3 This is an increase of 936 generators and a decrease of 47
million tons of waste compared to 1 991. As identified in Exhibit 1, the largest hazardous
waste generating States were Texas (63 million tons), Tennessee (34 million tons),
Louisiana (32 million tons), Michigan (21 million tons), and New Jersey (18 million tons).
Together, these States accounted for 65% of the national total.
In comparing 1993 data with those of earlier reports, it is important to note that
many new wastes were captured by RCRA in 1990 with the promulgation of the Toxicity
Characteristic (TC) Rule. The TC Rule added 25 new hazardous waste codes (D018-D043)
and required more stringent analytical tests for the presence of toxic constituents in waste.
These codes captured, at a minimum, 91 million tons of wastes not regulated before 1990.
An additional 44 million tons were described by D01 8-D043 mixed with other waste
codes. This suggests that, in 1993, the new toxicity characteristic wastes captured as
much as 1 35 million tons of wastes not regulated before 1 990. This compares to 1 62
million tons in 1991.
Hazardous waste generators are included in "The National Biennial RCRA Hazardous
Waste Report" if they identified themselves as large quantity generators. A generator is a
large quantity generator if it met the following federal criteria:
o The generator generated in any single month 1,000 kg (2,200 Ibs. or 1.1
tons) or more of RCRA hazardous waste; or
o The generator generated in any single month, or accumulated at any time, 1
kg (2.2 Ibs) of RCRA acute hazardous waste; or
o The generator generated, or accumulated, at any time more than 100 kg
(220 Ibs) of spill cleanup material contaminated with RCRA acute hazardous
waste.
3This quantity only includes waste managed in treatment units subject to RCRA permitting standards or transportation
regulations. Hazardous waste managed in units exempt from RCRA permitting standards, such as treatment systems
permitted by the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), is not included in this report.
ES-2
-------
Executive Summary
It is important to note that the large quantity generators identified in this report have
been included on the basis of the best available and most current information provided
electronically to the EPA by the States. Both the EPA and the States have made significant
efforts to ensure the accuracy of these data. However, the large quantity generator counts
may include some generators that met lower, State-defined thresholds for large quantity
generators. The EPA and the States endeavor to control for variation in State programs,
but it is not always possible to distinguish generators that the federal threshold determines
to be large quantity generators from generators that a State threshold determines to be
large quantity generators. The EPA and the States also endeavor to ensure that only
federally regulated wastes are counted in the determination of federal large quantity
generators, but the large quantity generator counts may include generators that, when
determining whether they were large quantity generators, counted wastes regulated only
by their States or wastes that are exempt from federal regulation.
Because of differences between state and federal criteria for large quantity
generators and because large quantity generator status is based on monthly generation
amounts but the amount reported is for the report year, EPA separated those generators
that reported as large quantity generators into three categories for data quality purposes:
o Generators reporting 13.2 or more tons of RCRA hazardous waste
generation.
A generator that reports more than 1 3.2 tons (1 2 months x 1.1 tons) of
annual hazardous waste generation must be a large quantity generator,
because the generator must have generated at least 1.1 tons in at least one
month.
o Generators reporting 1.1 or more tons but less than 13.2 tons of RCRA
hazardous waste generation.
A generator that reports less than 13.2 tons in a year may not be a large
quantity generator, because they may have generated less than 1.1 tons in
every month.
ES-3
-------
National Biennial RCRA Hazardous Waste Report: Based on 1993 Data
o Generators reporting less than 1.1 tons of RCRA hazardous waste
generation.
A generator that reports less than 1.1 tons in a year is not a large quantity
generator, because they did not generate 1.1 tons in any month.
Of the 24,362 generators that identified themselves as large quantity generators,
there are 14,284 generators that generated more than 1 3.2 tons in 1 993, 8,050 that
generated between 1.1 and 13.2 tons, and 2,027 that generated less than 1.1 tons. 5.8
million tons of RCRA acute hazardous waste was generated by 2,077 of the 24,362 large
quantity generators.
RCRA HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT
In 1993, 2,584 treatment, storage, or disposal facilities (TSDs) subject to RCRA
permitting standards managed 235 million tons of hazardous waste. This represents a
1,278 facility decrease in the number of TSDs and a 60 million ton decrease in the amount
of waste managed as compared to 1 991. As identified in Exhibit 2, the States managing
the largest quantities of hazardous wastes were Texas (53 million tons), Tennessee (34
million tons), Louisiana (31 million tons), Michigan (21 million tons), and New Jersey (18
million tons). Together, these States accounted for 67% of the national management total.
Ninety-four (94) percent of the national management total was wastewater
management (i.e., management in aqueous treatment units, neutralization tanks,
underground injection wells, or other wastewater management systems). The majority
(70.6%) of the national total was managed in aqueous treatment units. One hundred and
three (103) million tons were managed in aqueous organic treatment units, 6 million tons in
aqueous inorganic treatment units, and 57 million tons in both inorganic and organic
aqueous treatment units.
Land disposal accounts for 11.6% of the management total. Nationwide, 24 million
tons of hazardous wastes were disposed in underground injection wells, 2 million tons
were disposed in landfills, 276 thousand tons were managed in surface impoundments,
and 1 59 thousand tons were managed by land treatment (land farming).
ES-4
-------
Executive Summary
Recovery operations account for 3.5% of the national management total. Facilities
reported that 5.6 million tons were recovered by other methods such as acid regeneration,
waste oil recovery, and non-solvent organic recovery, 1.3 million tons were managed in
fuel blending units, 673 thousand tons were managed in solvent recovery units, and 523
thousand tons were managed in metals recovery units.
Thermal treatment accounts for 1.6% of the national management total. A total of
2 million tons were incinerated, while facilities reused 1.7 million tons as fuel in boilers or
industrial furnaces.
RCRA HAZARDOUS WASTE SHIPMENTS AND RECEIPTS
In 1993, 23,964 shippers reported shipping a total of 17 million tons of hazardous
waste, of which 7 million tons were shipped interstate. This is a decrease of 36 shippers
and an increase of 4 million tons of waste compared to 1 991. The States that shipped (in
or out of State) the largest quantities of wastes were Michigan (4.2 million tons), Texas
(3.4 million tons), and California (1.7 million tons). The States that received the largest
quantities of waste, from both in or out of State, were California (1.4 million tons), Texas
(860 thousand tons) and Ohio (857 thousand tons). The largest importers of waste were
Ohio (423 thousand tons), Indiana (340 thousand tons), and Louisiana (326 thousand
tons). The largest exporters were Michigan (1.5 million tons), California (1.2 million tons),
and Texas (306 thousand tons).

-------
Chapter 1: Waste Generation
National Biennial RCRA Hazardous Waste Report
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), in cooperation with
individual States,1 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 EPA's 1993 Biennial Reporting System (BRS) data collection efforts to the
public, government agencies, and the regulated community.2
1.0 WASTE GENERATION
This section presents a series of exhibits describing RCRA hazardous waste
generation in 1993. Nationwide, 24,362 large quantity generators (LQGs) produced 258
million tons3 of hazardous wastes regulated by RCRA.4 Throughout this report, the term
RCRA hazardous waste refers to solid waste assigned a federal hazardous waste code and
regulated by RCRA, either because it was managed in a unit subject to RCRA permitting
standards or because it was shipped and subject to RCRA transportation requirements.
Individual States may choose to regulate additional wastes not identified as hazardous by
EPA. Hazardous wastes assigned only a State hazardous waste code are not included in
this report. Similarly, hazardous wastes managed only in units subject to State permitting
standards, or wastes that are managed only in units exempt from RCRA permitting
standards, are not included in this report.
Exhibits 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3 present the quantity of RCRA hazardous waste generated
and number of LQGs in each EPA Region in 1993. Three Regions produced 70% of the
258 million tons generated nationwide.
'The term "State" includes the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, the Navajo Nation, the Trust Territories, and the
Virgin Islands.
2Some respondents have 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 this report wherever possible. Where CBI has been
omitted to preserve confidentiality, a footnote has been provided.
J1 Ton = 2,000 pounds.
4This quantity only includes waste managed in treatment units subject to RCRA permitting standards or subject to RCRA
transportation regulations. Hazardous waste managed in units exempt from RCRA permitting standards, such as units
permitted by the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), were not included in this report.

National Biennial RCRA Hazardous Waste Report: Based on 1993 Data
Region 6 generated 97 million tons, Region 5 generated 44 million tons, and Region
4 generated 38 million tons. Overall, 24,362 facilities identified themselves as large
quantity generators (LQGs)5 in 1993. The EPA Regions with the largest numbers of LQGs
were Region 2 (5,267), Region 5 (5,139), and Region 4 (3,335). These Regions account
for 56% of the total number of LQGs.
Region 6 generated the largest amount of hazardous waste (97 million tons or 38%)
while ranking sixth in number of LQGs (2,048). Region 2 had the highest number of LQGs
(5,267) and ranked fourth in the amount of hazardous waste generated (21 million tons or
8%). Region 8 had the smallest number of LQGs (378) and Region 1 generated the least
amount of hazardous waste (1 million tons).
As shown in Exhibits 1.4, 1.5, and 1.6, the largest hazardous waste generating
States were Texas (63 million tons), Tennessee (34 million tons), Louisiana (32 million
tons), Michigan (21 million tons), and New Jersey (18 million tons). Together, these
States account for 65% of the national total quantity generated. The States with the most
LQGs were New Jersey (3,1 20), New York (2,036), California (1,872), Ohio (1,524), and
Texas (1,286). These States account for 41 % of the total number of LQGs.
As shown in Exhibit 1.7, the largest 50 generators account for 82% (212 million
tons) of the national total. Large generators within the above mentioned States (i.e.,
Texas, Tennessee, Louisiana, Michigan, and New Jersey) account for the majority of the
States' generation totals. Of the 50 generators, 20 are located in Texas. These 20
facilities account for 86% of Texas' total. One Tennessee site, Tennessee Eastman Co.,
accounts for 99% of Tennessee's total. Six Louisiana facilities account for 91 % of the
State's total. In Michigan, Dow Chemical Co. accounts for 76% of the State's total.
Finally, E.I. DuPont Chambers Works accounts for 95% of New Jersey's total.
s EPA lists all reported large quantity generators in the "The National Biennial RCRA Hazardous Waste Report (Based on
1993 Data): List of Large Quantity Generators in the United States."

Chapter 1: Waste Generation
A generator is a large quantity generator if it met the following federal criteria:
o The generator generated in any single month 1,000 kg (2,200 Ibs. or 1.1
tons) or more RCRA hazardous waste; or
o The generator generated in any single month, or accumulated at any time, 1
kg (2.2 Ibs) of RCRA acute hazardous waste; or
o The generator generated, or accumulated at any time, more than 100 kg
(220 Ibs) of spill cleanup material contaminated with RCRA acute hazardous.
It is important to note that the large quantity generators identified in this report have
been included on the basis of the best available and most current information provided
electronically to the EPA by the States. Both the EPA and the States have made significant
efforts to ensure the accuracy of these data. However, the large quantity generator counts
may include some generators that met lower, State-defined thresholds for large quantity
generators. The EPA and the States endeavor to control for variation in State programs,
but it is not always possible to distinguish generators that the federal threshold determines
to be large quantity generators from generators that a State threshold determines to be
large quantity generators. The EPA and the States also endeavor to ensure that only
federally regulated wastes are counted in the determination of federal large quantity
generators, but the large quantity generator counts may include generators that, when
determining whether they were large quantity generators, counted wastes regulated only
by their States or wastes that are exempt from federal regulation.
Because of differences between state and federal criteria for large quantity
generators and because large quantity generator status is based on monthly generation
amounts but the amount reported is for the report year, EPA seperated those generators
that reported as large quantity generators into three categories for data quality purposes:
o Generators reporting 1 3.2 or more tons of RCRA hazardous waste
generation.
A generator that reports more than 1 3.2 tons (12 months x 1.1 tons) of
annual hazardous waste generation must be a large quantity generator,
1-9
-------
National Biennial RCRA Hazardous Waste Report: Based on 1993 Data
because the generator must have generated at least 1.1 tons in at least one
month.
o Generators reporting 1.1 or more tons but less than 1 3.2 tons of RCRA
hazardous waste generation.
A generator that reports less than 13.2 tons in a year may not be a large
quantity generator, because they may have generated less than 1.1 tons in
every month.
o Generators reporting less than 1.1 tons of RCRA hazardous waste
generation.
A generator that reports less than 1.1 tons in a year is not a large quantity
generator, because they did not generate 1.1 tons in any month.
As shown in Exhibit 1.8, in 1993 there were 14,284 generators that generated
more than 13.2 tons, 8,050 that generated between 1.1 and 13.2 tons, and 2,027 that
generated less than 1.1 tons. Most large quantity generators (9,270) generated between
1 3.2 and 11 3.2 tons, which is the range displayed in Exhibit 1.8 with the highest
distribution. The range with the second highest distribution is that between 1.1 and 13.2
tons, with 8,050 generators. Together, these two ranges account for 71 % of the total
number of large quantity generators. Although most large quantity generators generate
between 1 3.2 and 113.2 tons, the fifty largest RCRA hazardous waste generators, listed in
Exhibit 1.7, all generate over 111,11 3.2 tons.
Hazardous waste is distinguished according to its designation as a characteristic or
listed waste. Characteristic and listed wastes are specifically described in 40 CFR6 261,
and a list of waste codes is provided as Appendix B of this Report.
The term "characteristic waste" refers to any solid waste that exhibits a
characteristic of ignitability (D001), corrosivity (D002), or reactivity (D003), or that
contains toxic constituents in excess of federal standards (D004 - D043).

National Biennial RCRA Hazardous Waste Report: Based on 1993 Data
An ignitable waste is a solid waste that exhibits any of the following properties:
o A liquid, except aqueous solutions containing less than 24 percent
alcohol, with a flash point less than 60 degrees Celsius (140 degrees
Fahrenheit).
o A nonliquid capable, under normal conditions, of spontaneous and
sustained combustion.
o An ignitable compressed gas per Department of Transportation (DOT)
regulations.
o An oxidizer per DOT regulation.
A corrosive waste is a waste that exhibits the following properties:
o An aqueous material with pH less than or equal to 2 or greater than or
equal to 1 2.5.
o A liquid that corrodes steel at a rate greater than 1/4 inch per year at
a temperature of 55 degrees Celsius (1 30 degrees Fahrenheit).
A reactive waste is a waste that exhibits the following properties:
o Normally unstable and reacts violently without detonating.
o Reacts violently with water.
o Forms an explosive mixture with water.
o Contains cyanide or sulfide and generates toxic gases, vapors, or
fumes at a pH of between 2 and 1 2.5.
o Capable of detonation if heated under confinement or subjected to
strong initiating source.
o Capable of detonation at standard temperature and pressure.
o Listed by DOT as Class A or B explosive.
1-12

Chapter 1: Waste Generation
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-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:
1) 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.
2) 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, wastewaters, spent catalysts, and residues, (e.g., wastewater treatment
sludge from pigment production).
3) Commercial chemical products ('P' and 'U' 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 'U'
wastes include toxic chemicals while 'P' waste listings are reserved for acutely
toxic chemicals.

National Biennial RCRA Hazardous Waste Report: Based on 1993 Data
Exhibit 1.9, 1.10, and 1.11 show the portions of the national generation total of
258 million tons that were characteristic, listed, or a mixture of characteristic and listed
wastes. Characteristic wastes account for 62.5% (161.5 million tons) of the national total,
listed wastes account for 9% (23 million tons), and mixtures of the two account for 28.4%
(73.5 million tons). Listed only waste has remained consistent with 1991 percentages.
However, wastes described as characteristic only have decreased by 9% since 1991,
while wastes that are mixtures of characteristic and listed wastes have increased by 9%.
It is important to note changes with respect to the wastes that were newly
regulated by the Toxicity Characteristic (TC) Rule promulgated in 1990. As shown in
Exhibit 1.10, 91 million tons of waste were identified by these 25 new waste codes (D01 8
- D043), indicating that, at a minimum, the TC Rule captured 91 million tons of wastes not
regulated prior to 1991. Exhibit 1.11 shows an additional 14 million tons of waste
described with D018-D043 and other characteristic codes. Another 30 million tons were
described by D018-D043 and other listed waste codes. While it is not possible to
calculate exactly the amount of waste newly regulated by the TC Rule and the amount
regulated prior to 1990, as much as 135 million tons may have been captured in 1993 by
new toxicity characteristic waste listings. This compares to 1 62 million in 1 991.
In conclusion, the amount of hazardous waste generated in 1993 was between 123
and 1 67 million tons without these newly regulated TC wastes. This compares to a total
of 1 98 million tons generated in 1 989 before promulgation of the TC Rule. The overall
total generation has dropped from a total of 306 million tons in 1991 to 258 million tons in
1993.

Chapter 2: Waste Management
2.0 WASTE MANAGEMENT
This section presents a series of exhibits describing the management of RCRA
hazardous waste. EPA collected hazardous waste management information from any
facility that operated treatment, storage, or disposal (TSD) units subject to RCRA
permitting standards in 1993. These facilities are referred to throughout this report as
TSDs. Wastes managed in treatment systems exempt from RCRA permitting standards,
such as those subject to Clean Water Act or Safe Drinking Water Act permitting standards,
were not included in this report.
Exhibits 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3 present the quantity of RCRA hazardous waste managed
and the number of TSDs in the United States and in each EPA Region. Overall, a total of
2,584 facilities reported that they managed hazardous waste in TSD units subject to RCRA
permitting standards. This represents a 1,278 facility decrease in the number of TSDs
from 1 991. Storage facilities account for 1,552 of these facilities, leaving 1,032 facilities
that treated or disposed of 235 million tons of hazardous waste. This represents a 60
million ton decrease from 1991 quantities.
Region 6 managed the largest amount of waste (86 million tons, or 37%), while
ranking second in the number of TSDs (371). Region 5 had the highest number of TSDs
(572) and ranked second in the amount of waste managed (42 million tons, or 18%).
Region 10 had the fewest number of TSDs (68) and Region 1 managed the least waste
(146 thousand tons).

National Biennial RCRA Hazardous Waste Report: Based on 1993 Data
Exhibits 2.4, 2.5, and 2.6 present the quantity of RCRA hazardous waste managed
and the number of TSDs in each State. The largest generating States were also the largest
managing States. Texas managed the largest amount of waste (53 million tons), followed
by Tennessee (34 million tons), Louisiana (31 million tons), Michigan (21 million tons), and
New Jersey (18 million tons). Together these States accounted for 67% of the national
management total.
California reported the most TSDs (253), followed by Texas (234), New Jersey
(1 58), Michigan (1 36), and Illinois (1 34). Together these States accounted for 35% of the
total number of TSDs. There were no facilities in the District of Columbia, Guam, New
Hampshire, and South Dakota that reported treating or disposing waste in units subject to
RCRA permitting standards, although these States did have facilities that reported
operating permitted storage facilities. There were no facilities in the Navajo Nation that
reported treating, disposing, or storing waste in units subject to RCRA permitting
standards.
Exhibit 2.7 presents the 50 largest RCRA hazardous waste management facilities in
the United States. Together, these TSDs accounted for more than 88% of the national
management total. Tennessee Eastman Co. in Kingsport, TN, which was the largest
generator, was also the largest TSD, managing 34 million tons of waste, followed by Dow
Chemical Company, Midland Plant Site in Midland, Michigan (18 million tons), and E.I.
DuPont Chambers Works in Deepwater, NJ (1 7 million tons). A total of 1 8 of the 50
largest TSDs were in Texas.
Exhibit 2.8 shows that wastewater management1 (i.e., management in aqueous
treatment units, neutralization tanks, underground injection wells, or other wastewater
treatment systems) accounts for 94% of the national management total.
Wastewater management is the management method described by the following BRS system type codes: M071-
079, M081-085, M089, M091-094, M099, M121-125, M129, and M134. See Appendix A for further information.

Exhibits 2.9, 2.10, and 2.11 present the quantity of RCRA hazardous waste managed
by various management methods. The majority (70.6%) of the national total was managed in
aqueous treatment units. One hundred and three (103) million tons were managed in aqueous
organic treatment units, 6 million tons in aqueous inorganic treatment units, and 57 million tons
in both inorganic and organic aqueous treatment units. (The wastewater management
percentage, 93.7%, presented above in Exhibit 2.8 also includes neutralization, underground
injection, and treatment in other wastewater management systems).
Land disposal accounted for 11.6% of the management total. Nationwide, 24 million
tons of hazardous waste were disposed in underground injection wells, 2 million tons were
disposed in landfills, 276 thousand tons were managed in surface impoundments, and 159
thousand tons were managed by land treatment (land farming).
Recovery operations accounted for 3.5% of the national management total. Facilities
reported that 5.6 million tons were recovered by other methods such as acid regeneration,
waste oil recovery, and non-solvent organic recovery, 1.3 million tons were managed in fuel
blending units, 673 thousand tons were managed in solvent recovery units, and 523 thousand
tons were managed in metals recovery units.
Thermal treatment accounted for 1.6% of the national management total. A total of 2
million tons were incinerated, while facilities reused 1.7 million tons as fuel in boilers or
industrial furnaces.

Chapter 2: Waste Management
Exhibits 2.1 2, 2.1 3, and 2.14 present the quantity of RCRA hazardous waste
managed in various treatment and disposal units, limited to waste received from off site in
1 993. For wastes received from off site, the predominant management methods were
landfill, fuel blending, energy recovery, and underground injection. Eight (8) million tons of
waste (4% of the national total) was received and managed.
Land disposal accounts for the largest portion (30%) of the national management
total of waste received from off site. Facilities reported that 1.7 million tons of hazardous
wastes were disposed in landfills, 702 thousand tons were disposed in underground
injection wells, and 58 thousand tons were managed by land treatment (land farming).
Recovery operations account for 23% of the total amount received from off site and
managed on site. Nationwide, 956 thousand tons were managed in fuel blending units,
441 thousand tons were managed in metals recovery units, 431 thousand tons were
managed in solvent recovery units, and 119 thousand tons were recovered by other
methods such as acid regeneration, waste oil recovery, and non-solvent organic recovery.
Thermal treatment accounts for 1 7% of the received/managed total. Facilities
reused 921 thousand tons as fuel in boilers or industrial furnaces and 488 thousand tons
were incinerated.
Aqueous treatment accounts for only 10% of the total amount received from off
site and managed on site. Five hundred seventy-eight (578) thousand tons were managed
in aqueous inorganic treatment units, 179 thousand tons in aqueous organic treatment
units, and 45 thousand tons in both inorganic and organic aqueous treatment units.
A comparison between the management profile for all wastes and those received
from off site shows that wastes managed off site are managed differently. Most wastes
managed onsite were managed by aqueous treatment. Wastes received from off site were
managed by land disposal, recovery, or thermal treatment.

Chapter 3: Shipments and Receipts
3.0 SHIPMENTS AND RECEIPTS
In 1 993, 23,964 shippers1 reported shipping 17 million tons of RCRA hazardous
waste. Exhibits 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3 present the quantity of waste shipped and the number
of shippers in each EPA Region. Of the Regions, Region 5 reported shipping the largest
amount of waste (6.4 million tons), and the largest number of shippers (5,127). Region 8
reported shipping the least amount of waste (171 thousand tons), and the smallest number
of shippers (364).
Exhibits 3.4, 3.5, and 3.6 present the quantity of waste received and the number of
TSD facilities that received waste in each EPA Region. Overall, 739 TSD facilities reported
receiving 9 million tons of waste in 1993. Region 5 reported both the largest quantity of
receipts (2.8 million tons) and the largest number of receivers (162). Region 8 reported
receiving the least amount of waste (102 thousand tons), and the smallest number of
receivers (31).
The term "shipment" is intended to refer to the physical transfer of waste from one facility to another. In some
cases, however, shipments occur between facilities that neighbor each other and are under the same corporate name. In
these instances, EPA may have assigned unique EPA ID numbers to separate industrial sites within the same plant. The
resulting shipments may merely be movement of wastes from one portion of the plant to another.

Chapter 3: Shipments and Receipts
Exhibits 3.10, 3.11, and 3.12 present the quantity of waste received and the
number of TSD facilities receiving waste in each State. California reported receiving the
largest quantity of waste (1.4 million tons) and Texas reported the highest number of TSD
facilities receiving waste (64).
Five States reported they did not have any TSD facilities that received hazardous
waste. The States are The District of Columbia, Navajo Nation, New Hampshire, Trust
Territories, and Virgin Islands.
Overall, 739 receivers reported receiving 8.9 million tons of waste. This represents
an 8.1 million tons difference between the amount of waste reported shipped and the
amount reported received.
Exhibits 3.13 and 3.1 4 present listings of the 50 largest shippers and receivers,
respectively, in the nation. The largest 50 shippers account for 62% of the total quantity
shipped in the U.S. and the 50 largest receivers account for 58% of the total amount
received.

Chapter 4: Imports and Exports
4.0 IMPORTS AND EXPORTS
Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2 present hazardous waste imports and exports, by Region and
by State, respectively. Only those quantities of waste that enter or leave the State are
counted in this category. Exhibit 4.1 shows Region 5 reported importing the largest
quantity (1.3 million tons) and exporting the largest quantity (2.4 million tons) of waste.
Region 8 reported importing the smallest quantity (52 thousand tons) and exporting the
smallest quantity (124 thousand tons) of waste. Exhibit 4.2 shows Ohio reported
importing the largest quantity of waste (423 thousand tons). Nine States reported they did
not import waste in 1993. The States are Alaska, The District of Columbia, Montana,
Navajo Nation, New Hampshire, Puerto Rico, Trust Territories, Virgin Islands, and
Wyoming. Michigan reported exporting the largest quantity of waste (1.5 million tons),
and Trust Territories, with 1 35 tons, reported exporting the smallest quantity.
