1.0 INTRODUCTION
This report summarizes the results of a national survey of generators
of hazardous waste who produce less than 1,000 kg of hazardous waste per
month. The survey was commissioned by the Environmental Protection Agency's
Office of Solid Waste, and conducted by Abt Associates Inc., between January,
1983 and October, 1984. Approximately 50,000 establishments that were con-
sidered potential small quantity generators were surveyed, resulting in a data
base containing nearly 19,000 responses. The survey was designed to obtain
reliable estimates of the number and type of small quantity hazardous waste
generators and their waste generation and management practices. As with any
voluntary survey there is a-potential for inaccuracies in the results due to
errors and misrepresentations by the respondents. The reasons for such
discrepancies are numerous, including lack of knowledge of hazardous waste
management issues and general skepticism toward federal agencies, and should
be taken into consideration by the reader when reviewing the results presented
herein.
Throughout this report, the term "small quantity generators" refers to
those establishments generating less than 1,000 kg of hazardous waste per
month. Most of these establishments are currently excluded from regulation
under Subtitle C of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) by
regulations promulgated on May 19, 1980. Amendments to RCRA signed into law
on November 8, 1984, however, require EPA to lower the exclusion level to 100
kg per month and to develop new management standards for this new category of
generators. For clarity, the newly-regulated establishments generating be-
tween 100 kg and 1,000 kg per month will be referred to as "SQGs" hereafter.
Very small quantity generators producing less than 100 kg per month of hazar-
dous waste will remain excluded from regulations under Subtitle C. These
establishments will be referred to as "VSQGs" throughout this report.
The following are some of the major findings of the survey, which are
described in greater detail in Section 4.
Profile of Generators and Waste Streams
• Overall, there are an estimated 600-660 thousand small
quantity generators of hazardous waste in the nation.
These establishments generate about 940 thousand
metric tons of hazardous waste annually and represent
-------
98 percent of the total number of hazardous waste
generators nationally but less than one half of one
percent of the total quantity of hazardous waste
generated annually.
• Among small quantity generators, VSQGs, which remain
excluded from hazardous waste regulations, represent
three quarters of the generators but only 20 percent
of the waste.
• In general, small quantity generators tend to be
located near major population centers. Seventy per-
cent of the small quantity generators are located in
Metropolitan Statistical Areas.
• Nearly 85 percent of the small quantity generators are
in non-manufacturing industries. Fifty percent of the
small quantity generators are in vehicle maintenance
and 10 percent are in construction. Among manufactur-
ing industries the dominant component is metal manu-
facturing which accounts for 10 percent of the genera-
tors.
• Sixty percent of the waste generated by small quantity
generators is lead-acid batteries (90 percent of which
are recycled). Additionally, 20 percent of the waste
consists of solvents, and 5 percent is strongly acidic
or alkaline wastes. The distribution of wastes gener-
ated is fairly consistent among SQGs and VSQGs.
Management Practices
• Seventy percent of the small quantity generators,
accounting for over 80 percent of the waste, ship
their waste off-site. Off-site management is domin-
ated by recycling (largely of lead-acid batteries):
two thirds of the small quantity generators who ship
their waste off-site send it to recycling facili-
ties. An estimated 5 percent of the generators who
ship their waste send it to Subtitle C hazardous waste
facilities, and the remainder, which do not recycle,
send their waste to solid waste facilities (i.e.,
sanitary landfills or incinerators) or do not know the
ultimate destination of their waste. About one third
of the generators provide written notification of the
nature of their waste to transporters, with about
6 percent using EPA manifests.
• Approximately 20 percent of the small quantity gener-
ators manage their waste on-site, and 10 percent both
manage their waste on-site and ship it to an off-site
facility (i.e., on-site treatment followed by off-site
disposal). On-site management is dominated by RCRA
-------
exempt disposal to public sewers, which is practiced
by about 45 percent of these generators. Only about a
quarter of the small quantity generators managing
waste on-site recycle their wastes, as compared to two
thirds of those shipping their waste off-site. About
20 percent of the small quantity generators practicing
on-site management treat their waste.
• Roughly 10 percent of all small quantity generators
currently store their waste for more than 180 days
prior to disposal while approximately 20 percent store
their waste 90-180 days.

and results of the survey. Section 2 describes the purpose and scope of the
survey and provides background on RCRA and the 1984 amendments. Section 3

2.0 PURPOSE AND SCOPE
2.1 Background
On May 19, 1980 EPA promulgated regulations pursuant to the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) which, among other things, delineate
responsibilities for hazardous waste generators, transporters, and treatment,
storage and disposal facilities. These regulations also establish a condi-
tional exclusion from full regulation for hazardous waste from generators who
produce less than 1,000 kg in a calendar month. .The decision to establish
such an exclusion level was not based on a detailed evaluation of the asso-
ciated risks, but rather on the recognition of a lack of sufficient adminis-
trative resources to effectively regulate all hazardous waste.
In the preamble to the 1980 regulations EPA argued that, based on
available data, the great majority of the generators produce less than 1,000
kg per -month yet account for less than one percent of the total hazardous
waste generated. The Agency thus determined that instead of sacrificing other
elements of the regulatory program, such as permitting and inspection of
treatment, storage and disposal facilities, the overall environmental objec-
tives of RCRA would be best served by choosing an exclusion level such that
implementation of the full regulatory program would be as effective as
possible. Even so, many groups and individuals suggested,' and still believe,
that the relative hazard of a particular waste is independent of the quantity
of waste or number of generators involved and, therefore, that any regulatory
decision based on these variables is irrelevant in terms of protection of
human health and the environment. It thus became imperative that EPA under-
take a study to characterize these small quantity generators and their waste
handling methods.
EPA further stated in the preamble to the 1980 rules that it would
"initiate rulemaking within 2 to 5 years to expand Subtitle C coverage down to
generators of 100 kg/mo." As a result, this survey was commissioned in order
to document the waste generation and management practices of small quantity
generators that produce less than 1,000 kg per month of hazardous waste.
The specific requirements that currently apply to small quantity
generators are found in 40 CFR § 261.5. In order for hazardous waste to be
excluded from full regulation under RCRA, a small quantity generator must
first determine, as specified in the regulations, that his waste is a
-------
hazardous waste. He must then either treat or dispose of his waste, on or off
the premises, in a hazardous waste facility which has interim status or is
permitted by EPA or an authorized state, or is a facility approved by a state
to manage municipal or industrial solid waste. The waste also may be handled
at a facility which reuses or recycles the waste or one that treats it prior
to such reuse or recycling. If, however, a generator accumulates at any time
a quantity greater than 1,000 kg of hazardous waste, or 1 kg of acutely hazar-
dous waste, all such waste becomes subject to the full RCRA Subtitle C regula-
tions.
In the 1984 amendments to RCRA, Congress added specific provisions
that pertain directly to small quantity generators and that will result in
changes to the current regulations. Most importantly, EPA is required to
establish a new exclusion level of 100 kg per month, thereby creating a sub-
class of generators (SQGs) producing between 100 kg and 1,000 kg of hazardous
waste per month who will be subject to new requirements. The Agency has until
March 31, 1986 to promulgate these new management standards.
At a minimum, the new standards will require that all treatment,
storage and disposal of SQG hazardous waste occur at an interim status or
permitted hazardous waste facility. By August 1985, SQGs will be required to
use an abbreviated Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest when they ship waste off
the premises, although such waste will remain subject to existing § 261.5
standards until new requirements are promulgated. Additionally, an SQG may
store hazardous waste for up to 180 days without being required to obtain a
permit (large quantity generators may only store for 90 days before being
required to obtain a permit).
Should EPA fail to promulgate new standards by the March 31, 1986
deadline, SQG hazardous waste will become subject to the minimum requirements
described in the above paragraph. Furthermore, an SQG will be required to
retain a copy of the manifest, signed by the facility which receives the
waste, for three years, and to file manifest exception reports.
The exclusion level for acutely hazardous waste is 1 kg per month, and for
residues or contaminated soil, water, or other debris from the cleanup of a
spill of a commercial chemical product listed in 40 CFR § 261.33(e), the
exclusion level is 100 kg per month.
-------
Any further requirements for SQGs, regardless of whether or not the
deadline is met, may vary from existing large quantity generator standards but
must be protective of human health and the environment. EPA is given
discretion as to whether new requirements are necessary for waste produced by
VSQGs.
Given these forthcoming changes in the regulatory framework, there is
a great need for information concerning small quantity generators. Specifi-
cally there is a need for information that will allow EPA to weigh the eco-
nomic and environmental implications of the available regulatory options. To
date, there has been little available information for this population. This
survey was conducted to reduce the uncertainty associated with the development
of a new regulatory framework.
2.2 Survey Objectives and Approach
The major objectives of the small quantity generator survey were to
develop reliable estimates of the types and numbers of small quantity genera-
tors, the types and quantities of hazardous waste generated by these estab-
lishments, and the methods by which those wastes are managed. To this end,
the most feasible approach was:
• To obtain a profile of small quantity generators in
industries that were considered most likely to
contribute to hazardous waste generation (primary
industries);
« To identify the waste management practices used by
small quantity generators in the primary industries;
and
• To develop a general profile of small quantity genera-
tors in other industries that were considered to be
less likely to include a significant proportion of
small quantity generators.
As described below, these three steps provided the framework for the design
and conduct of the survey.
Obtain a Profile of Small Quantity Generators in Primary Industries.
Industries of primary concern were identified through a review of United
States industries according to their Standard Industrial Classification (SIC)
codes. This review included analysis of past studies, consultation with trade
associations and industrial experts, and professional judgement. The
-------
procedure used in the review is more fully described in Section 3. As a
result of these efforts, 125 SIC codes, which were combined into 22 industry
groups, were identified as industries of primary concern. These SIC codes,
shown in Appendix A, Table 1, became the focus of the survey.
As shown in Appendix A, Table 2 the survey targeted specific wastes
for each primary industry. Establishments in each industry category were sent
survey questionnaires pertaining to the specific, targeted wastes that they
were expected to generate in order to obtain an overall profile of the types
and quantities of wastes generated by small quantity generators. The ques-
tionnaire asked for the average, maximum, and minimum quantities of each tar-
geted waste stream generated by each establishment. The survey questionnaire
also contained a question asking respondents to identify further non-targeted
wastes that might be generated by the establishment. Although this question
did not address waste quantity or management practices, it did allow for the
respondent to provide useful information regarding the generation of addi-
tional waste streams.
Identify Waste Management Practices for Small Quantity Generators in
the Primary Industries. The second element of the survey approach was to
identify the waste management practices utilized by establishments in the
primary industries. To accomplish this objective, the survey questionnaire
contained questions concerning waste storage, transportation, treatment,
recycling and disposal practices for each targeted waste. Since the waste
handling practices for a particular establishment could differ by waste
stream, it was important that the survey questionnaire permit respondents to
answer for each waste individually. Thus, the establishments surveyed re-
ceived questionnaires requesting information separately on from one to eight
different waste streams. A sample survey questionnaire is included as
Appendix B.
An important objective was to design a questionnaire that would be
understandable by a general audience. In view of the wide range of types of
establishments that were potential small quantity generators, it could not be
assumed that the respondents would have the training necessary to complete a
technical questionnaire. Consequently, the questionnaire was designed in non-
technical terms and was pre-tested on a selection of establishments to ensure
that it would be understood.
-------
Develop an Estimate of Small Quantity Generators in Other Non-Surveyed
Industries. In addition to the industry categories covered in detail by the
survey, it was anticipated that there would be small quantity generators in
other non-surveyed industries. A further element of the survey approach was
to obtain a general description of small quantity generators in these
secondary industries.
Two types of industries were included in this secondary category:
• Industries that were similar in their processes and
wastes to specific primary industries and that would be
described by analogy to the primary industry (e.g.,
general building contractors, a secondary industry, is
similar to construction, a primary industry).
,• Industries that could not be surveyed effectively
because they contain incidental generators and highly
heterogeneous establishments. Industries in this
category were expected to contain too few establish-
ments that are small quantity generators, or establish-
ments that are too diverse in the types of services
delivered, wastes produced and waste management prac-
tices utilized (e.g., manufacturing services not else-
where classified) for the industry to be surveyed
effectively.
Estimates of the number of generators and Waste quantities in the
industries that were expected to be similar to the surveyed industries were
developed by analogy to the primary industries surveyed. For example, the
percentage of establishments that were assumed to be small quantity generators
among general building contractors, and their waste quantity, is based on the
results obtained from the survey for the construction industry. This approach
provides an approximation of the number of small quantity generators and the
quantity of wastes generated by establishments in these SIC codes, but it
precludes an estimation of waste management practices. The results of this
analysis are shown in Appendix A, Table 3.
A different method of estimating the number of small quantity genera-
tors was used in analyzing the second category of industries, those containing
incidental generators. The first stjp involved 'using the Recommendations on
Inclusion/Exclusion of Industries by SIC Codes for the Small Quantity Genera-
tor Survey (Abt Associates, 1983) to determine which industries might contain
some small number of generators. The total number of establishments in indus-
tries expected to contain some small quantity generators was estimated at 300
8
-------
thousand from County Business Patterns (1982) and the Duns Market Identifiers
file. Next, a high estimate of 40 percent for the percentage of these estab-
lishments that are likely to be small quantity generators was developed on the
basis of the secondary industries treated by analogy. A low estimate was
developed through analyzing responses from approximately 3,000 surveyed estab-
lishments which, upon processing their responses, were determined not to be in
any of the primary industries, but rather were in secondary industries con-
taining incidental generators. It was found that 20 percent of these estab-
lishments were small quantity generators. Therefore, 20 percent was set as
the low estimate for the percentage of small quantity generators among estab-
lishments in these industries.

3.0 SURVEY DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION
3.1 Introduction
This chapter presents a description of how the survey was designed and
carried out. Additionally, the statistical methodology for deriving estimates
from the survey data is presented. The information provided here should be
sufficient to understand and evaluate the results of the survey. More de-
tailed information is contained in Appendices A, B and C, and Abt Associates'
report to EPA's Office of Solid Waste entitled Small Quantity Generator Survey
Methodology Report.
EPA chose to conduct the small quantity generator survey on a volun-
tary basis in order to encourage better cooperation between industry and the
Agency. A key concern in designing the survey was to develop a methodology
that would yield a high re'sponse rate, despite the sensitivity of the topic of
hazardous waste. In developing the methodology, EPA worked closely with a
coalition of trade associations and public interest groups concerned with the
regulation of small quantity generators. Many of the coalition's suggestions
were incorporated into both the sample and questionnaire design. Nine trade
associations wrote letters endorsing the survey, which were sent to potential
respondents along with the questionnaire. A major factor in obtaining indus-
try support was the strict assurance given by EPA of the confidentiality of
responses. As evidenced by the final survey response rate of 52.6 percent,
the survey design was successful in obtaining a high level of response for
this type of population and survey.
3.2 Sample Design
3.2.1 Identification of SIC Codes to be Included in the Survey
The first step in the sample design involved identifying the target
population, that is, the types of establishments to be included in the sur-
vey. The main objectives in this process were, first, to minimize unnecessary
respondent burden by excluding from the survey both those establishments that
generate large quantities of hazardous waste (more than 1,000 kg/mo.) and
those establishments that do not generate any hazardous waste, and, second, to
utilize most effectively the resources available for conducting the survey by
focusing on those types of establishments that were most likely to generate
small quantities of hazardous waste.
10
-------
In selecting the target population, a careful review of each Standard
Industrial Classification (SIC) category was conducted, and establishments
were included only from those categories that were: (1) not statutorily
excluded from regulation under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act
(RCRA); (2) expected to generate hazardous waste regulated under RCRA; and (3)
expected to contain a significant number of small quantity generators. This
review process involved several steps, including use of professional judgment;
contact with industry representatives, industrial experts, and professional
and trade associations; and examination of trade journals, government studies
and documents, and other secondary literature.
Industrial categories were placed into one of three groups as a result
of the review process. The first group consisted of those SIC codes that
would be included in the survey and, therefore, defined the target
population. A second group of SIC codes contained establishments in
categories similar to those in surveyed industries. This group was not
surveyed. Instead, estimates of the number of small quantity generators and
waste types generated were obtained through analysis of secondary sources and
through extrapolation of the survey results for similar industries that were
surveyed. A third group, which also was not included in the survey, included
industrial categories that were thought not likely to contain a significant
number of small quantity generators, or categories that contained
establishments that were too diverse in the types of services delivered or
goods produced to be sampled effectively. The latter were typically
industries in the "Not Elsewhere Classified" SIC codes.
Based on the review of SIC codes, 125 SIC codes were chosen for inclu-
sion in the survey, and 22 SIC codes were excluded from the survey because
they were similar to those already included in the survey. The remaining SIC
codes were excluded from the survey because they were unlikely to contain
significant numbers of small quantity generators or were too heterogeneous to
be sampled effectively. The SIC codes included in the survey are shown in
Appendix A, Table 1 and the process used in selecting these SIC codes is
described in a report prepared by Abt Associates for EPA entitled Recommenda-
tions for Inclusion/Exclusion of Industries by SIC code for Small Quantity
Generator Survey.
11
-------
3.2.2 Grouping of SIC Codes into Industry Groups
The 125 SIC codes included in the survey were combined into 22 larger
industry groups in order to develop a framework for the survey analysis.
These groupings were determined primarily according to the types of waste
which the establishments in each SIC code were expected to generate, and
secondarily according to the services delivered or goods produced by the
establishments. For example, establishments in SIC codes 7332, 7333, 7395 and
2
8411 were grouped together because they were expected to produce photographic
wastes, solutions or sludges containing silver, ignitable wastes, spent sol-
vents and paint wastes.
The objective of designing the sample within the framework of these 22
industry groups was to develop accurate industry profiles for these industry
groups. Profiles of these groups will provide a better basis for the regula-
tory impact analysis of alternative regulatory strategies than a single pro-
file for all industries because these groups differ widely in the types and
quantities of waste generated and, potentially, in their waste management
practices. Appendix A, Table 1 presents a listing of the SIC codes in each of
the 22 industry groups.
3.2.3 Development of the Sampling Frame
In developing a sampling frame for the small quantity generator survey
it was necessary to obtain a list of establishments in the 125 SIC categories
included in the survey that was as comprehensive as possible. Based on a
coverage analysis using SIC code counts from County Business Patterns, the
Duns Market Identifiers (DMI) file was selected as the best list available.
The DMI file contains over five million establishment Listings and provides
information on each establishment such as SIC code, number of employees, sales
volume, and geographic location. The DMI file was, however, also expected to
contain listings for non-existent establishments (out-of-business establish-
ments, etc.). This was taken into account in determining the required sample
2Blueprinting and Photocopying Services; Commercial Photography, Art and
Graphics; Photofinishing Laboratories; Museums and Art Galleries.

-------
size for the small quantity generator survey. It was necessary to use a list
of secondary schools compiled by Market Data Retrieval because these estab-
lishments are listed in SIC 8211 together with elementary schools in DMI, and
the survey was concerned only with secondary schools.
3.2.4 Sample Size Requirements
A major objective of the survey was to provide an estimate of the
number of small quantity generators in each industry group, as well as the
proportion of establishments that are small quantity generators, and to pro-
vide estimates of the waste management practices of all small quantity genera-
tors in an industry group. For the estimate of the percentage of establish-
ments in an industry group that are small quantity generators, 95 percent
confidence limits of + 3 percent were desired. For estimates of small
quantity generator waste management practices, 95 percent confidence limits—
for the case in which 50 percent + 4 percent employed a certain practice —
were set as the goal. The expected proportion of small quantity generators in
an industry group was therefore an important consideration in the sample
design because small quantity generators constitute a subclass of
establishments in an industry group upon which estimates of waste management
practices would be based. In addition, the likely rate of sample attrition
due to non-response (estimated at 40 percent) and the sampling of ineligible
establishments (large quantity generators, out-of-business establishments,
duplicate listings, out-of-date addresses, etc.) in the DMI file (estimated at
20 percent) were important considerations in designing the sample. These
factors had to be incorporated into the sample size calculations to ensure
that enough completed questionnaires would be received to achieve the desired
level of precision for the estimates.
The total sample size calculated for the survey equaled 48,849 estab-
lishments. The sample size calculated for each industry group was allocated
to the strata formed in each industry group on the basis of SIC code and size
of establishment (0-9 employees versus 10 or more employees) to ensure that
all SIC codes within an industry group and that both large and small estab-
lishments would be adequately represented in the sample. In general, the
sample was allocated proportionally to the strata forming an industry. A
limited number of SIC codes of special interest to EPA were over-sampled to
13
-------
ensure a sufficient sample size for separate analysis on an SIC code basis.
These SIC codes are identified in Appendix A, Table 1. Within each stratum,
the sample was selected using simple random sampling without replacement.
The sample was not stratified by geographic location because the
survey was intended to provide national, rather than regional, estimates for
the number of small quantity generators and their waste generation and manage-
ment practices. Therefore, all of the survey results presented in this report
are for establishments across the entire U.S. The survey data cannot be used
to develop reliable regional or state estimates, however approximate regional
or state estimates can be developed from the survey data in conjunction with
regional or state data from County Business Patterns.
3.3 Questionnaire Design
The questionnaire was designed to obtain information regarding hazard-
ous waste generation and handling. Specifically, it asked for the average,
maximum and minimum monthly quantities of waste generated; the duration and
method of storage of wastes; the method of on-site or off-site treatment,
recycling, or disposal of wastes; and, if the waste was shipped off-site, the
method of transport.
To succeed in gathering the needed data, the questionnaire had to be
detailed enough to address some of the complexities inherent in hazardous
waste management, yet straightforward enough to be completed by a diverse
range of respondents in both manufacturing and service industries, many of
whom were expected to be unfamiliar with hazardous waste regulations and
terminology.
To address this issue, Abt Associates used the information collected
in its review of SIC codes to tailor the questionnaire to sampled establish-
ments according to the wastes they were expected to generate. Each establish-
ment received a questionnaire which asked specifically about tke generation
and management of only those waste streams that the establishment was expected
to generate. The number of expected waste streams for a firm ranged from one
to eight. For each waste stream, the respondent was asked to indicate whether
the firm generated the waste, the quantity generated, and how the waste was
managed and disposed of. Thus, respondents in each industry group received a
questionnaire which contained a "core" set of questions asked of all respon-
14
-------
dents and one to eight sets of waste stream specific questions for wastes the
industry group was expected to generate. Appendix B provides a sample ques-
tionnaire.
This approach to questionnaire design had two important advantages.
First, it reduced respondent burden by specifying which wastes were hazardous,
thereby not requiring the respondent to make the determination. Second, it
focused the survey on RCRA-regulated waste without requiring the respondents
to review the entire list of hazardous wastes in the Code of Federal Regula-
tions, thereby preventing, to the extent possible, the inclusion of some non-
RCRA-regulated waste. It is important to note, however, that waste streams
identified were necessarily broad and may have led to the inclusion of some
quantities of non-regulated waste. For instance, one waste stream was "Spent
Solvents" which could include both RCRA-regulated and unregulated substances.
In addition to seeking detailed information about specific wastes, the
questionnaire also contained questions on whether the establishment generated
any other hazardous waste or "wastes that required special handling." In
keeping with efforts to reduce respondent burden and to improve the quality of
the data collected, a check list of all of the waste streams identified in
developing the survey was provided for the respondent to review.
Given the structure of the questionnaire, two caveats exist in the
survey data. First, it is impossible to avoid some double counting of small
quantity generators and associated waste quantities when examining breakdowns
by management practices. It should be noted that the double counting does not
affect estimates of the total number of small quantity generators, the total
waste quantity generated, or the proportion of small quantity generators that
are SQGs and VSQGs. Furthermore, the degree of double counting is generally
less than 10 percent. The factors contributing to this situation are:
• To minimize the number of answers required to complete
the questionnaire, several questions were designed to
allow for multiple response. For example, a respondent
could store some of his waste in a pail and the rest in
a 55-gallon drum, or he could manage some of his waste
on-site and ship the rest off-site. In the latter
case, the respondent would be counted as both a small
quantity generator managing waste on-site and as a
small quantity generator shipping waste off-site. This
occurred at only 6 percent of the establishments
responding to the survey.
15
-------
• To allow for targeting specific waste streams for
industry groups, additional occurrence of double count-
ing was introduced into the data base. If an estab-
lishment produced multiple waste streams, particularly
if these wastes were handled differently, that estab-
lishment's management practices were double counted.
A second caveat is that the results of the survey are two-tiered.
Respondents provided detailed reports of their generation and handling prac-
tices for wastes that were specifically identified or targeted for their type
of establishment, while for additional, non-targeted wastes, they reported
that the waste was generated but did not provide any in-depth information
concerning waste quantities or management practices. However, rough estimates
of the quantities of these non-targeted wastes were derived from mean values
of the quantity of waste generated per establishment, which were based on
detailed information reported by generators of targeted wastes. Therefore,
when management practices and waste quantity information are reported in the
following chapter and in the industry profiles, the results are based solely
on responses from the 84 percent of the small quantity generators identified
in the survey who reported that they generated targeted wastes. The results
presented regarding the total number of small quantity generators and total
quantity of waste generated, on the other hand, include respondents reporting
the generation of targeted wastes as well as those reporting the generation of
additional waste streams only.
3 .4 Survey Implementation
3.4.1 Conduct of the Survey
This section of the report presents a brief discussion of the small
quantity generator survey procedures. Readers requiring more detailed infor-
mation concerning the conduct of the survey are referred to the Small Quantity
Generator Survey Methodology Report, October 1984.
The two central components of the survey procedures were:
• Questionnaire mailings: An initial mailing to 48,849
establishments, and a second mailing to approximately
20,000 establishments not responding to the first
mailing; and
• Two rounds of follow-up telephone calls to non-respon-
dents: The first round was designed to encourage non-
16
-------
respondents to complete the questionnaire and to iden-
tify when a second questionnaire should be sent. The
second round was designed to allow respondents to
complete the questionnaire during the course of the
telephone call.
To augment these survey components, two additional systems of communi-
cation between respondents and Abt Associates were established:
• A toll-free telephone line to Abt Associates was pro-
vided so that respondents could obtain assistance in
completing the questionnaire if needed. Approximately
1,500 respondents called in on this line.
• Data retrieval or clarification calls were made to
respondents who returned questionnaires with incomplete
or ambiguous responses.
These survey procedures were designed to maximize the survey response
rate and the quality of the data obtained. The reminder calls and remailing
of questionnaires were effective in dramatically increasing the survey re-
sponse rate. The initial response rate prior to the reminder calls was ap-
proximately 15 percent. After the first round of reminder calls were com-
pleted and questionnaires remailed, the response rate more than doubled to
32 percent. An additional 9,600 survey responses were obtained as a result of
the second round of reminder calls, raising the total number of survey respon-
ses to 18,648 and the final response rate to 52.6 percent.
More than 2,000 respondents (over 10 percent) were contacted by tele-
phone as part of the data retrieval effort. This element of the survey proce-
dure greatly enhanced the quality of the data by clarifying responses to key
questions concerning waste quantities generated and waste management prac-
tices .
3.4.2 Survey Validation
A preliminary analysis of the survey data raised concern that respon-
dents in certain industry groups may have misinterpreted the questionnaire.
It was found that, in some cases, the number of small quantity generators
within an industry group was significantly less than what was expected.
Qualitative information collected from reminder telephone calls to non-respon-
dents and from Abt Associates' records of calls received on the toll-free
respondent assistance telephone line indicated that there were several possi-
ble sources for these discrepancies between actual and expected results:
17
-------
• Some establishments generated small quantities of waste
but considered the amount to be insignificant and
therefore did not fully complete the questionnaire.
• Some respondents had difficulty in understanding the
descriptions of the waste types and may therefore have
incorrectly reported not generating a waste stream.
• Some respondents did not consider waste streams that
were recycled as "waste." They felt that because they
recycled the material, it should not be counted as a
waste.
• Technological process changes within an industry could
reduce or eliminate the generation of hazardous waste
or change the characteristics of the hazardous waste
generated.
• Several types of establishments were included in the
survey for waste generation activities that are some-
what ancillary to their primary functions. For exam-
ple, schools and colleges were included because they
were expected to generate hazardous waste in labora-
tories and wood and metal shops. Automobile dealers
were included because they were expected to generate
hazardous waste in performing maintenance. Some of
these establishments did not think of themselves as
generating any hazardous waste, and they responded
according to that assumption.
Based on these findings, it was determined that a validation study of
the results for six industries would be conducted to explore and delineate the
impacts of these factors on the quality of the survey data. The industry
groups studied were Vehicle Maintenance, Metal Manufacturing, Construction,
Furniture Manufacturing and Refinishing, Cleaning Agent and Cosmetic Manufac-
turing, and Other Manufacturing (Miscellaneous Plastics Products).
To validate survey results for these industry groups, a random sample
of non-generators selected from respondents to the survey were recontacted by
telephone and a second questionnaire was administered. This questionnaire was
composed of selected key questions from the original questionnaire regarding
quantity and type of waste generated, method and duration of waste storage,
and ultimate disposition of the waste. The results of the validation inter-
views were entered into a separate data file, which was used to enhance the
survey data as follows:
18
-------
• The subsample of non-generators selected for the vali-
dation study constituted a separate data set. Approxi-
mately 23 percent of these establishments were deter-
mined to be small quantity generators in the validation
study, even though they had indicated otherwise in
their original responses.
• The proportion of small quantity generators found in
the validation study sample for a given industry or SIC
code was used to estimate the number of small quantity
generators among the establishments initially estimated
to be non-generators based on the survey results. This
number, added to the original estimate of the number of
small quantity generators, became the revised estimate.
• The information obtained concerning the waste manage-
ment practices of these newly identified small quantity
generators was assigned appropriate weights and
analyzed in conjunction with the survey data.
Over 1,500 follow-up interviews of respondents in the six industry
groups were completed. There was a wide range in results by industry group,
with Vehicle Maintenance having the highest percentage of small quantity
generators among non-generator respondents (49 percent). The lowest occurr-
ence of small quantity generators was found among Cleaning Agent and Cosmetic
Manufacturing and Furniture Manufacturing and Refinishing, with small quantity
generators comprising 9 and 11 percent, respectively.
3.5 Weighting and Imputation
3.5.1 Weighting Methodology
In order to generalize from the sample to the target population, it
was necessary to develop weights. This involved several steps, each of which
is discussed below.
Each of the 48,849 sampled establishments was assigned a status code
that placed it into one of three categories:
1. Completed Questionnaire Returned by Establishment -
This category includes questionnaires completed by both
small quantity generators and non-generators;
2. Non-respondent Establishments - This category includes
establishments that did not respond to the survey; and
19
-------
3. Ineligible Establishments - This category includes
establishments that were large quantity generators,
out-of-business, or not in business in 1982, as well as
establishments that had actual SIC codes that were not
in one of the primary industries.
For each sample stratum, the establishment population count from the DMI file
was divided by the number of completed questionnaires returned plus the number
of ineligible sample establishments. This basic non-response adjusted weight
reflects the fact that some establishments in the DMI file are ineligible for
the reasons shown above.
This basic weight was then ratio-adjusted to bring the estimated count
from the sample for detailed employment size categories (i.e., 0-9, 10-19, 20-
49, 50-99, 100-499, 500-999, and 1,000 or more employees) into agreement with
the DMI file population counts. The sample, which was initially stratified by
only two employment size categories, 0-9 and 10 or more employees, was
subdivided into more detailed employment size substrata to permit comparison
of sample counts and population counts in the DMI file for each of the
employment size categories.
Once the weights had been ratio-adjusted, the sum of the weights for
sample establishments that completed the questionnaire and those sample estab-
lishments that identified themselves as large quantity generators was compared
on an industry group basis with population counts from the 1982 County Busi-
ness Patterns. These counts were taken to be accurate estimates of the total
number of establishments in each industry group and were therefore used to
check for undercoverage or overcoverage in the weighted survey count of estab-
lishments in each industry group. To be eligible to respond to the question-
naire an establishment must have been in business at the time of the survey
and also must have been in business in 1982, the time reference used in asking
the questions. For those industry groups where the weighted survey count was
within 10 percent of the 1982 County Business Patterns count, no adjustment to
the weights was made. For industry groups that differed by more than 10 per-
cent, an adjustment was made.
Frequency distributions of the weights in each industry group were
then reviewed for high weight values which could have deleterious effects on
standard errors for estimates based on the survey. High weights were reduced,
and a proportional spreading of the reduced weight amount was made to all the
20
-------
weights in that industry group. This method of weight smoothing reduced
variations in the weight values, while maintaining the same estimated popula-
tion count for the industry group.
A final step in the weighting process took place only in those strata
that were included in the validation study. As described in the previous
section, -the validation study involved the selection of a subsample of non-
generators from the validation strata. The non-sampled, non-generators were
then removed from the data base, and the weights of the sampled non-generators
were adjusted upwards based on the sampling fraction employed in each valida-
tion stratum. Appendix A, Table 1 provides information on the number of
completed questionnaires before and after the data base was restructured to
incorporate the validation study subsample.
3.5.2 Imputation Methodology
The questionnaire contained a set of important variables that would be
used to estimate totals (e.g., total amount of waste generated in an industry
group). Because item non-response existed, totals would be underestimated
unless values on questionnaires with missing data for one or more of these
variables were imputed. Listed below are the variables for which values were
imputed when an establishment failed to supply a response and the imputation
method(s) used:
Variables
Q.4: Full-Time Average Employees
Q.4: Part-Time Average Employees
Q.6 - Waste Amount Questions
Q.10:
Q.14 & Duration of Waste Storage
Q.15:
Imputation Method(s)
Hot-Deck imputation using DMI file
employee count to form imputation
classes.
Hot-Deck imputation using stratum
to form imputation classes.
Deductive imputation and Hot-Deck
imputation using total employees
to form imputation classes for
each waste type.
Deductive imputation, and mean-
value imputation using industry
group as the imputation class
variable.
21
-------
The deductive imputation method applies to those situations where a
missing response can be deduced with a high probability from other variables
in the data base for that establishment. Mean-value imputation involves
dividing the sample into imputation classes and using the imputation class
mean for the variable as the imputed value for establishments with a missing
response. The Hot-Deck method also uses imputation classes; however, donor
establishments (i.e., establishments that have supplied answers) within the
imputation classes supply the imputed value to establishments with a missing
response.
3.6 Statistical Reliability
The estimates presented in this report are based on a survey of estab-
lishments in the primary industry groups, extrapolation of the survey results
to other similar industries, and analysis of incidental generators in addi-
tional industries. This discussion of the reliability of estimates is limited
to estimates based on the survey data alone.
These estimates are based on a national sample of establishments and
will therefore differ somewhat from the figures that would have been obtained
if a complete census of the target population had been taken. The standard
error of an estimate is a measure of sampling variability, that is, a measure
of the variations that might occur by chance because only a portion of the
target population was surveyed. The 90 percent confidence Limits of an esti-
mate are obtained by multiplying the standard error by 1.65. The chances are
90 out of 100 that the sample estimate would differ from a complete census by
an amount less than plus or minus the 90 percent confidence limits.
Standard errors and 90 percent confidence limits were calculated
directly for the estimated total number of small quantity generators and total
waste generated by small quantity generators for:
1. The entire population,
2. Industry groups, and
3. Selected waste stream profiles.
Within each of the above categories, standard errors and 90 percent confidence
limits were also directly calculated for the estimates of the quantity of
wastes and the number of generators managing waste on-site and shipping waste
22
-------
off-site. Figure 3.1 displays the 90 percent confidence for these six key
estimates, derived for the entire population. The 90 percent confidence
limits for the estimated number of small quantity generators are 378,000 +
13,000 (or + 3.4 percent) . For the estimate of total waste generated the 90
percent confidence limits are 598,000 MT/yr. + 66,000 MT/yr. (or + 11 per-
cent). That is to say for the estimate of the total number of small quantity
generators, the chances are 90 out of 100 that the true population figure is
within 3.4 percent of the sample estimate of 378,000. For the waste genera-
tion estimate, the chances are 90 out of 100 that the true population figure
is within 11 percent of the sample estimate of 598,000. A similar relation-
ship holds for the on-site and off-site estimates of the total number of small
quantity generators and total waste generated. The lower degree of statisti-
cal reliability for the waste amount estimates is due to the variability in
waste quantities reported by small quantity generators and the skewed waste
distribution — 30 percent of all small quantity generators generate 82 per-
cent of the total small quantity generator waste. Appendix C presents the
formula used to calculate the standard error of the key totals.
The tables in this report provide numerous estimates, of on- and off-
site waste management practices, reported as percentages of the number of
small quantity generators managing waste on-site or shipping waste off-site,
respectively. Although standard errors were not directly calculated for these
estimates, approximate 90 percent confidence limits can be derived for esti-
mates of the percent of small quantity generators in an industry group or
selected waste stream profile who use a practice of interest. The formula for
the approximate 90 percent confidence limits for a percentage using a specific
practice equalst
90 percent ,/ p(lQQ-p)
confidence = ± 1.65 / £ *-—
limits
This estimate includes only respondents who reported detailed information for
targeted waste streams. The total estimate of small quantity generators based
on the survey, including those respondents who reported the generation of
additional, non-targeted waste streams only is 450,000 + 13,000 (or + 2.9
percent).

4.0 RESULTS OF THE SURVEY
This section presents the results of'the survey of small quantity
generators conducted between January, 1983 and October, 1984. In addition,
the survey data presented in this section are supplemented by more general
data obtained through analysis of non-surveyed industries. The results
summarized below include:
• Overall national estimates of the number of small
quantity generators and the quantity of hazardous
waste they generate.
• More detailed descriptions of the 22 major industry
groups that contain significant numbers of small
quantity generators and the types of waste these
establishments generate.
• Estimates of the management practices currently util-
ized by small quantity generators in the primary
industry groups targeted in the survey.
The data for each set of results were drawn from different sources
comprised of combinations of the three major categories of industries identi-
fied in designing the small quantity generator survey. Briefly, as noted in
previous sections, the three categories are:
• Primary industries targeted because they were expected
to contain a significant number of the small quantity
generators. Detailed information concerning the
number of generators, waste streams and quantities
generated, and waste management practices was gathered
for establishments in these industries. There are an
estimated 450,000 small quantity generators in these
industries. Specific information concerning waste
generation and management practices is available for
378,000 of these generators. Information for the
remaining 72,000 generators is based on the responses
of establishments that reported producing only non-
targeted wastes for which information concerning waste
quantity and management practices is not available.
However, a rough estimate of the quantity of non-
targeted waste generated was derived from mean values
for the quantity of waste generated per establishment,
which were based on detailed information reported by
establishments generating targeted waste streams. The
latter generators are included only in estimates of
the total number of small quantity generators and
total waste quantity generated.
26
-------
• Secondary industries not included in the survey be-
cause they were expected to be similar to specific
primary industries. Data concerning the number of
small quantity generators, waste streams generated,
and generation rates for these industries were
developed by analogy to the primary industries. These
small quantity generators are included in estimates of
the total number of small quantity generators, and
waste quantities generated.
• Industries not included in the survey because they
were expected to contain only incidental small
quantity generators. Very approximate estimates for
these SIC codes were developed and are included only
in the overall estimates of the total number of small
quantity generators and the total waste quantity
generated.
There is likely to be some degree of inaccuracy in the results
presented here, due to confusion or misrepresentation on the part of the
respondents, which cannot be accounted for by estimations of standard
errors. The survey results presented in this Section and in the Appendices to
this report are thus intended to provide the best available estimates of small
quantity generator waste generation and handling methods within broadly
defined industry groups. The results should not be construed as exact
estimates of numbers of small quantity generators and quantities of waste
produced within specific industries.
4.1 Overall Estimate of the Number of Small Quantity Generators and
Quantities of Waste Generated
Although the overall number of small quantity generators is very
large, these generators contribute a relatively small proportion of the total
quantity of hazardous waste generated nationally. There are approximately 600-
660 thousand small quantity generators nationally. This number consists of
450,000 generators in the primary SICs surveyed and 85,000 generators in the
secondary SICs treated by analogy plus 65,000 to 125,000 incidental generators
in the remaining SICs (assuming, as discussed in Section 2.2, that 20 to
40 percent of the establishments in the latter industries may at times gener-
ate small quantities of hazardous waste).
27
-------
Small quantity generators produce about 940 thousand metric tons of
waste annually. This waste generation estimate was derived from the three
groups of industries studied. The primary- group of industries accounts for
798 thousand metric tons (598 thousand estimated from detailed information
reported for targeted wastes and 200 thousand estimated from information
reported for non-targeted wastes). The secondary SICs include generally
smaller generators and account for about 93 thousand metric tons. Finally,
the waste produced by incidental generators in the third group is likely to be
very small. A rough estimate of waste generation per generator for this group
is 40-50 kg per month. At this rate the third group would account for
approximately an additional 50 thousand metric tons of waste per year.
Small quantity generators represent a large proportion of the number
of hazardous waste generators nationally, yet account for only a very small
fraction of hazardous waste generated (Figure 4.1). About 98 percent of the
hazardous waste generators nationally are small quantity generators, but these
generators contribute only about 0.4 percent of the total hazardous waste
generated. This overall conclusion is independent of the number of generators
in the third category of incidental generators. Even if the number of genera-
tors and waste generation for this category is doubled, small quantity genera-
tors would still account for over 98 percent of the number of generators and
less than 0.5 percent of the total waste.
Small quantity generators are closely associated with major population
centers. Nearly 70 percent of small quantity generators surveyed are located
in metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs), as indicated by data in the DMI file
for each sampled establishment. This finding is confirmed by other studies.
For example, in a study of small quantity generators in New York State, Abt
Associates determined that over two thirds of the small quantity generators
are located in the populous areas of New York City, the lower Hudson Valley
and Long Island.
Among small quantity generators, as shown in Figure 4.2, generators of
more than 100 kg per month (SQGs) represent only 28 percent of the small
quantity generators in the primary industries surveyed and the secondary
industries examined by analogy, but they account for more than 80 percent of
the total quantity of hazardous waste generated in these groups. The inciden-
tal generators in the third group studied are likely to be even more heavily

concentrated in the less than 100 kg per month category (VSQGs) but no speci-
fic estimates are available. However, extrapolating the available figures for
the distribution of small quantity generators between SQGs and VSQGs to the
overall estimate of the number of small quantity generators and quantity of
small quantity generator waste yields an overall national estimate of 175
thousand SQGs generating 760 thousand metric tons of waste annually. Since
the reauthorization of RCRA specifies reporting and management requirements
only for SQGs, the remaining 455 thousand small quantity generators who are
VSQGs will not be affected by the statute.
It is interesting to note that the results of this survey are
relatively consistent with the data used to develop EPA's 1980 regulations
excluding small quantity generators from full Subtitle C regulations. The
1980 data indicated that there were approximately 695 thousand generators of
less than 1,000 kg per month and that these generators account for about
635 thousand metric tons per year of waste as compared to 600-660 thousand
generators producing 940 thousand metric tons of waste estimated by this
survey. In addition, the distribution between SQGs and VSQGs is similar in
the two surveys. The 1980 results indicate that SQGs generating between 100
and 1,000 kg per month of waste account for 19 percent of the small quantity
generators and 78 percent of the small quantity generator waste as compared to
28 percent and 81 percent respectively estimated in this survey.
This survey, however, provides information concerning small quantity
generators that is both more reliable and more detailed than that developed
for the 1980 regulations. The 1980 data are based on compilations of state
survey data, projecting national results on the basis of results obtained by
20 states. These state results were uneven in quality and were obtained at
different times, but they were the only data available at the time on which to
base an estimate of small quantity generators in the absence of a comprehen-
sive national survey. The 1980 data, moreover, do not provide information
concerning the distribution of waste quantity by waste stream.
31
-------
4.2 Distribution of Small Quantity Generators by Industry Group and Waste
Stream Generated**
Nearly 85 percent of the small quantity generators are in non-manufac-
turing industries (Figure 4.3). The largest categories of establishments in
non-manufacturing industries are vehicle maintenance and construction estab-
lishments, which account for 50 percent and 12 percent of the total number of
small quantity generators, respectively. Other non-manufacturing establish-
ments, including laundries, photographic processors, equipment repair shops,
laboratories and schools, account for nearly 25 percent of the total number of
establishments. The remaining 15 percent of the small quantity generators
consists of manufacturing establishments, with two thirds of these in metal
manufacturing and the remaining third in other manufacturing industries, such
as printing, chemical manufacturing and formulating, furniture manufacturing
and textile manufacturing. Table 4.1 highlights the importance of vehicle
maintenance and metal manufacturing as contributors to the overall number of
small quantity generators and the quantity of waste generated by small
quantity generators. Appendix D provides detailed industry-specific profiles,
including descriptions of management practices for each industry group sur-
veyed .
As shown in Figure 4.4, the distribution of SQGs differs from that of
VSQGs. Most noticeably, vehicle maintenance dominates among SQGs. Aside from
vehicle maintenance, however, non-manufacturing establishments are more
heavily concentrated among VSQGs, and manufacturing establishments tend to be
more concentrated among SQGs. In particular, as shown in Table 4.1, certain
service-related industry groups such as pesticide end users and application
services, laundries, equipment repair shops, construction, furniture, print-
ing, educational establishments and wholesale and retail establishments are
heavily concentrated in the VSQG category. By contrast, a relatively large
number of establishments engaged in chemical manufacturing, wood preserving,
textile manufacturing, cleaning agent manufacturing and paper products manu-
facturing are SQGs.
The results presented in this section are based on the primary groups and
secondary industry groups treated by analogy. They exclude establishments in
the group of incidental generators.

-------
Eighty-five percent of the waste generated by small quantity genera-
tors consists of lead-acid batteries, solvents and other acidic or alkaline
wastes (Figure 4.5). Lead-acid batteries (primarily from vehicle maintenance
establishments) account for more than 60 percent of the small quantity
generator waste. An additional 18 percent of the small quantity generator
waste consists of solvents from metal manufacturing, vehicle maintenance,
equipment repair, printing and construction, while 6 percent is made up of
strongly acidic or alkaline wastes. The remaining 15 percent of the waste is
made up of pesticides, photographic wastes, dry-cleaning filters and
filtration residues, ignitable wastes and spent plating wastes. Table 4.2
provides a national summary of waste generation broken down by waste stream
for SQGs and VSQGs. These results are shown in greater detail in Appendix E.
Unlike the number of generators, the profile of wastes generated by
small quantity generators does not change significantly at a 100 kg cutoff.
The distribution of waste streams generated by SQGs is essentially the same as
the distribution among VSQGs. As shown in Table 4.2, lead-acid batteries,
spent solvents and strong acids or alkalies account for over 80 percent of the
waste generated among SQGs as well as VSQGs. The only difference in the
profiles is that photographic wastes and dry-cleaning filtration residues
represent 9 percent of the waste generated by VSQGs and only 5 percent of the
wastes generated by SQGs.
4.3 Small Quantity Generator Waste Management Practices
The RCRA amendments of 1984 impose specific requirements on small
quantity generators. As described in Section 2, these requirements deal with
waste disposal practices as well as with storage, transportation and reporting
requirements. This subsection describes current waste management practices of
small quantity generators.
It should be emphasized that 90 percent of lead acid batteries are
recycled. Final rules published by EPA in January 1985 exclude lead-acid
batteries from regulation except when they are stored by recyclers or
reclaimers (see Section 4.4).
Results in this section are based on the management practices reported by
small quantity generators in the primary SIC codes surveyed.

-------
Approximately 70 percent of the small quantity generators ship their
waste off-site for management, while about 20 percent practice on-site manage-
ment, including RCRA exempt disposal to public sewers (Figure 4.6). The
remaining generators both manage their waste on-site and ship it off-site for
management (for example on-site treatment prior to shipment to a solid waste
facility such as an incinerator). Small quantity generators who ship their
waste off-site tend to generate larger quantities of waste than those who
manage their waste on-site, accounting for more than 80 percent of the waste
but only 70 percent of the generators; while wastes that are managed on-site
or both managed on-site and shipped off-site make up the remaining 20 percent
of the waste.
Small quantity generator waste that is shipped off-site for management
is mostly sent to recycling facilities. Table 4.3 indicates that 52 percent
of all small quantity generators, accounting for 65 percent of the total
quantity of small quantity generator waste send their wastes to recycling
facilities. This component is dominated by recycled lead-acid batteries which
account for more than 75 percent of the total quantity of waste that is
recycled. Only 12 percent of the lead-acid batteries that are shipped off-
site are not recycled and these are primarily sent to solid waste facilities.
The second most prevalent destination of waste that is shipped off-
site is solid waste disposal facilities. Approximately 14 percent of the
small quantity generators send their waste to solid waste facilities, but
because these generators produce relatively small quantities of waste they
account for only 5 percent of the small quantity generator waste. An addi-
tional 11 percent of the waste is produced by small quantity generators who
ship their waste off-site, but do not know the ultimate destination of their
waste. This waste is likely to be sent to solid waste facilities. By con-
trast, only about 4 percent of the small quantity generator waste is sent to
Subtitle C hazardous waste facilities.
On-site waste management of small quantity generator waste is domin-
ated by disposal to public sewers. About 8 percent of small quantity genera-
Note that the results in this section do not necessarily add up to
100 percent because wastes may be subject to multiple management (e.g.,
treatment and disposal), and because the same generators may use different
practices for different wastes.

tor waste (or about 46 percent of the waste that is managed on-site) is dis-
Q
posed of through public sewers. This waste represents more than 20 percent
of the non-lead-acid battery waste produced by small quantity generators. The
other major form of on-site management is recycling which is practiced by
about 8 percent of the generators, accounting for 6 percent of the waste.
Additionally, 6 percent of the generators responded that they used some form
of on-site waste treatment. This treatment, however, may be coupled with
other forms of waste management or disposal.
Generally, waste management practices by SQGs differ somewhat from
those of VSQGs (Figure 4.7). SQGs are more likely than VSQGs to recycle their
waste whether they practice on-site management or ship their waste off-site.
Among small quantity generators who manage their waste on-site, only 23 per-
cent of the VSQGs recycle waste, while 39 percent of the SQGs recycle. Among
small quantity generators who ship their waste, only 61 percent of the VSQGs
send it to recycling facilities, while 78 percent of the SQGs send it to
recycling facilities.
The requirement of the 1984 RCRA amendments limiting on-site storage
to 180 days is unlikely to significantly affect small quantity generators.
Only 11 percent of the SQGs currently store wastes for more than 180 days
(Figure 4.8). Eighty-five percent of the SQGs store their wastes for less
than 90 days, and 54 percent of them store for -less than one week.. VSQGs have
a greater tendency for storing waste for less than one week. Detailed infor-
mation concerning storage methods is presented in the industry profiles in
Appendix D.
Ninety-six percent of all small quantity generators shipping their
waste off-site use trucks for transport (Figure 4.9). Sixty-seven percent of
these generators rely on contracted haulers for transportation to off-site
facilities while an additional 13 percent use public trucks (municipal solid
waste disposal). Only a relatively small proportion of the small quantity
generators (16 percent) utilize company-owned trucks. The remaining 4 percent
of the generators shipping their wastes use other transport methods, such as
Q
Waste discharged to sewers connected to a publicly owned wastewater treatment
facility (POTW) is excluded from RCRA and subject to the Clean Water Act
(40 CFR § 261.4(a)).

railroad cars, barges, or pipelines. This distribution does not vary signifi-
cantly between SQGs and VSQGs, although the proportion of VSQGs using public
trucks is slightly higher than that for SQGs.
In most cases (82 percent of the generators shipping waste off-site)
the generator notified the transporter as to the nature of the waste being
transported. The predominant means of notification was a verbal statement by
the generator. In 33 percent of the cases some form of written notification
was provided—about 6 percent of the generators used EPA manifests, slightly
over 25 percent labeled their wastes, and more than 25 percent used other
forms of written notification such as invoices.
4.4 Lead-Acid Batteries that Are Reclaimed
The small quantity generator survey was designed to characterize the
types and quantities of hazardous waste produced by small quantity generators,
regardless of the waste's ultimate disposition. Survey data indicate, how-
ever, that used lead-acid batteries comprise a very large percentage of the
hazardous waste generated by small quantity generators, and that nearly 90
percent of these used batteries are reclaimed. Current RCRA regulations
exclude certain materials, including lead-acid batteries, from regulation in
the hands of the generator and the transporter, provided the materials are to
be recycled or reused. The regulations further exclude such materials that
are to be reclaimed, in this case used lead-acid batteries, from being
considered in the small quantity generator determination. In other words,
when a generator determines whether or not he is subject to full RCRA require-
ments (i.e., if he produces greater than 1,000 kg of hazardous waste in a
calendar month), he need not count the weight_of his used lead-acid battery
waste in his calculation.
While this exclusion may significantly impact the actual number of
small quantity generators to be regulated under the new RCRA requirements, it
is most likely that regulatory control over the handling of used lead-acid
batteries will remain sufficient to protect human health and the environ-
ment. The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) lists electric storage
batteries as a corrosive material, and imposes specific requirements for their
transportation and handling. Any generator presently sending his used
46
-------
batteries to an off-site recycling or disposal facility is thus subject to DOT
packaging, labeling and other shipping requirements. In addition, states that
currently regulate more stringently than EPA may already require that used
batteries be counted in a generator's quantity determination. Thus, in those
states that have already set a 100 kg per month exclusion level, small quan-
tity generators whose used batteries push them over the limit will continue to
be regulated until such time as a state chooses to adopt the less stringent
requirements in its own rules.
In any case, used lead-acid batteries are still characterized as
hazardous waste because of their corrosivity, and are therefore included in
all estimates of numbers of generators and quantities of waste throughout this
report. Although nearly 90 percent of these used batteries are reclaimed, and
thus are not included in the small quantity generator calculation, the removal
of these used batteries from consideration in the small quantity generator
population has a fairly minimal impact on the overall number of regulated
entities.
If used lead-acid batteries are backed out of the previously presented
estimates, the total number of small quantity generators is reduced to
approximately 440,000. There are thus 190,000 generators which produce used
batteries only, and are excluded from EPA regulation, yet covered by DOT
requirements. Of the small quantity generators that remain, the number that
produce hazardous waste in quantities above 100 kg per month (SQGs) is reduced
from approximately 175,000 to 90,000. This effect on the number of regulated
establishments is less pronounced, however, than it may at first appear, for
the following reasons. Of the generators that produce used batteries only,
approximately 70,000 of them generate more than' 100 kg per month. These
generators are then regulated by DOT whenever they ship their batteries off-
site. This leaves about 15,000 out of an original 175,000 generators in the
100 to 1,000 kg per month bracket which, when they do not count their lead-
acid batteries, produce waste in quantities below the 100 kg per month limit,
and are thus not subject to regulation under the new RCRA requirements for
small quantity generators. These other wastes may of course be subject to DOT
shipping requirements, depending on their hazard class.
In sum, there are 90,000 SQGs which remain unaffected, 70,000
generators whose lead-acid batteries remove them from the population of small
47
-------
quantity generators, yet who are covered by DOT regulations, and approximately
15,000 generators whose hazardous waste is actually excluded from new RCRA
requirements because their lead-acid batteries are not counted in the quantity
determination.

UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
WASHINGTON. D.C. 20460
OFFICE OF
SOLID WASTE AND EMERGENCY RESPONSE
Dear Survey Participant:
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is gathering data on
the types and amounts of hazardous wastes generated by facilities that
produce less than 2,200 Ibs. of these wastes per month. Your facility has
been selected to participate in this nationwide survey. Although participa-
tion in this study is voluntary, we urge you to complete the survey question-
naire within the next 30 days and mail it back to Abt Associates Inc., a
private research firm.
Congress is currently considering legislation that will require EPA
to regulate establishments that produce small quantities of hazardous waste.
Information from this survey will allow EPA to evaluate current waste manage-
ment practices in developing alternatives for controlling these hazardous
wastes. Without your cooperation, it will be difficult for EPA to develop
fair and workable regulations.
As you will note from the enclosed letter, trade associations have
endorsed the study and are encouraging their membership and other business
establishments and organizations to participate.
The information you provide in this questionnaire, and your identity,
are strictly confidential. The information will be used for statistical
purposes only. We are not interested in your specific facility; rather, we
are interested in obtaining a national profile of various industry groups.
Even if you believe that your facility produces little or no waste, please go
through this survey carefully and answer all applicable questions. If you
have any questions regarding this questionnaire, or need assistance in com-
pleting your responses, please call Abt Associates toll free at 1-800-626-2630;
in Massachusetts, call 1-800-442-2411.
If your facility generated 2,200 Ibs. or more of hazardous waste
in every month during 1982, do not complete the questionnaire. Simply fill
out the enclosed postcard and mail it back to Abt Associates. If your
facility generated less than 2,200 Ibs. in any month of 1982, fill out the
questionnaire even if you already have an EPA identification number.

SMALL QUANTITY WASTE GENERATOR QUESTIONNAIRE
This questionnaire is designed to obtain information about wastes generated by establishments in the United States. Whether
you generate hazardous waste or not, your response is very important. All Information will be kept STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL.
The Identification Number on the cover is for Abt Associates' use in sampling and monitoring of survey responses.
For the purposes of completing this questionnaire, the following definitions apply:
• Generate waste — to produce a waste or by-product from a manufacturing or chemical process, or in the performance of a
service. This waste may be treated, disposed of, or recycled.
• Facility - a single physical location where business Is conducted, or services or industrial operations are performed.
However, for responding to questions 1 through 4, In cases of physically dispersed activities, such as construction or
janitorial services, facility is defined as the office from which personnel operate. For responding to questions 6 through 22,
facility is defined as the site at which the activities (e.g., construction, janitorial services) take place.

APPENDIX D
Detailed Industry Profiles of Waste Generation
and Management Practices
-------
Industry Profiles
The tables in this appendix present a detailed picture of the waste
generation and management practices for each of the 22 surveyed industry
groups. The estimates presented are based only on waste quantities and
management practices reported for targeted waste streams because these data
provide the most reliable source for the estimates.
Supplemental general information is available from the secondary
industries which were analyzed'by analogy to surveyed industries, and from
generators that reported producing additional, non-targeted waste streams, but
these data do not contain specific waste quantity or management information.
Extrapolated estimates for numbers of generators and waste quantities for
secondary industries is presented in Appendix A, Table 3. The non-targeted
waste stream data do not contain specific waste quantity or management
information, and are therefore not included here.
The table on page D-3 is a summary of the number of small quantity
generators and total annual waste quantity generated by industry group.
Following this table are three tables for each industry group. The first
table presents a breakdown of the quantity of hazardous waste generated by
waste stream. The second and third tables profile the on- and off-site
management practices by number of establishments and quantity of waste in the
industry group.
Ninety percent confidence limits for estimates of the total number of
generators and total waste quantity appear in parentheses below the
estimates. The estimates of percent of small quantity generators and waste
quantity by management practice are intended to reflect general trends for
each waste stream. Approximate 90 percent confidence limits can be calculated
for the total number of small quantity generators using a certain on- or off-
site management practice from the following equation:
90 percent / p(100-p)
confidence = ± 1.65 • £—-—K—
limit
D-l
-------
where p is the percentage of small quantity generators using the practice of
interest and n is the unweighted number of responses the estimate is based
on. The number of responses is provided as a footnote to each on- or off-site
management table. The confidence limits for the total quantity of waste
managed by a certain method cannot be readily calculated, but they are
generally larger due to the variability in waste quantity reported.
For some industry groups, the percentages which describe the manage-
ment practices within an industry group by either the number of generators or
waste quantity generated sum to more than 100 percent. This is the result of
double counting. Waste streams that were managed by several methods, such as
stored in both dumpsters and closed metal drums, or treated and then sent to a
solid waste facility are counted in more than one category. Generators
producing such waste streams, or producing several waste streams which were
managed differently would also be counted in more than one category. Double
counting is highest in the reporting of storage and transporter notification
methods with a maximum of 19 percent of the generators and 26 percent of the
waste being counted in more than one category. For the remaining management
information reported, less than 5 percent of the generators and waste
quantities are counted in more than one category.

APPENDIX E
Detailed Was.te Stream Profiles of Quantity
Generated and Management Practices
-------
Waste Stream Profiles
The tables in this appendix present a detailed picture of the genera-
tion and management of the six largest and most often generated small quantity
generator waste streams. The waste streams are:
o Lead-acid batteries,
o Spent solvents,
o Acids and alkalies,
o Photographic wastes,
o Ignitable paint wastes, and
o Ignitable wastes.
The estimates provided include results from all 22 surveyed industry
groups. As with the industry profiles, the estimates presented are based only
on waste quantities and management practices reported for targeted waste
streams because these data provide the most reliable source for the estimates.
The table on page E-3 is a summary of the number of SQGs generating
each waste stream and the quantity generated. Following this table are two
tables for each of the six waste streams. These tables profile the on- and
off-site management of these waste streams.
Ninety .percent confidence limits for estimates of the total number of
generators and total waste quantity appear in parentheses below the esti-
mates. The estimates of percent of small quantity generators and waste
quantity by management practice are intended to reflect general trends for
each waste stream. Approximate 90 percent confidence limits can be calculated
for the total number of small quantity generators using a certain on- or off-
site management practice from the following equation:
90 percent / TTnn 7
r-j j. i /ic ,/ p(100-p)
confidence = ± 1.65 V —^ t-L
limit n
where p is the percentage of small quantity generators using the practice of
interest and n is the unweighted number of responses the estimate is based
on. The number of responses is provided as a footnote to each on- or off-site
E-l
-------
management table. The confidence limits for the total quantity of waste
managed by a certain method cannot be readily calculated, but they are
generally larger due to the variability in waste quantity reported.
For some waste streams, the percentages which describe the management
practices within an industry group by either the number of generators or waste
quantity generated sum to more than 100 percent. This is the result of double
counting. Waste streams that were managed by several methods, such as stored
in both dumpsters and closed metal drums, or treated and then sent to a solid
waste facility are counted in more than one category. Generators producing
such waste streams, or producing several waste streams which were managed
differently would also be counted in more than one category. Double counting
is highest in the reporting of storage and transporter notification methods
with a maximum of 19 percent of the generators and 26 percent of the waste
being counted in more than one category. For the remaining management
information reported, less than 5 percent of the generators and waste
quantities are counted in more than one category.
