STATE PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION GUIDE:
HAZARDOUS WASTE TRANSPORTATION CONTROL
Introduction
The primary objective of a comprehensive hazardous
waste management program is to make certain that hazardous
wastes are properly handled to prevent undue harm to human
health or the environment. The elements of a comprehensive
hazardous waste management program must include reporting by
waste generators, the regulation of temporary waste receptors
(i.e., storage and transfer facilities), the regulation of
permanent waste receptors (i.e., reprocessing, treatment, and
disposal facilities), and the regulation of waste trans-
portation. Even though hazardous waste transportation
control is only one element of a hazardous waste management
program, it is a key element because it allows a State to
follow and control the movement of hazardous wastes within
its jurisdiction. The key uses of a waste transportation
control program are to insure that hazardous wastes are
transported to appropriate waste receptors; to promote
safety on the highway and at waste receptor sites; and to
generate information for planning and surveillance
purposes.
The basis for any State hazardous waste management
program is, of course, the legislation which authorizes
the program development and implementation. This paper
discusses the elements of a hazardous waste transportation
control program and how such a program may be implemented.
This publication is one of a series of guides developed
by the Office of Solid Waste Management Programs of the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to assist States in
implementing effective hazardous waste management programs.
-------
Scope of Regulation
A waste transportation control system can be developed
to regulate any type of waste. The most inclusive system
would require all waste haulers (municipal solid waste
haulers as well as liquid and industrial waste haulers) to
obtain permits. Some States may wish to implement a program
which regulates the transportation of all wastes, but this
approach is too broad for the purposes of hazardous waste
management.
A limited regulatory system would require only liquid
waste haulers to obtain permits. Even though liquid wastes
are usually defined to include sludges and slurries, this
approach is too limited for hazardous waste management purposes
because it excludes from regulation up to 30 percent of the
total quantity of hazardous wastes which are generated.
Another alternative is to require only those haulers who
handle and transport industrial and commercial process wastes
to obtain permits. This approach makes it possible for States
to regulate haulers who handle hazardous wastes as well as
other industrial process wastes, whether solid, liquid, or
contained gases.
Due to limited resources, some States have limited their
licensing and permitting efforts to those haulers who offer
their services "for hire." This approach fails to regulate
a large quantity of wastes which are transported by the waste
generators themselves. Wastes which are carried by the captive
or private haulers can be just as hazardous as the wastes
carried by the haulers for hire, thus this distinction should
be avoided.
Recommended Requirements and Procedures for a State Program
The Permit System. Any individual or corporation
wishing to transport hazardous waste within a State's
jurisdiction should be required to obtain a permit
from that State. Permits should be valid for a limited
period (e.g., twelve months) and renewable upon reappli-
cation. Application for a hazardous waste transportation
permit should be made prior to expiration of the existing
permit. The State should specify an adequate time period
(e.g., forty-five days) for review and evaluation.
Application for a hazardous waste transportation
-------
permit should be made on a form issued by the State.
The permit application should require at a minimum, general
information about the applicant's business including the name;
the names and titles of the individuals responsible for the
business (i.e., owner, president, etc.); the business'
mailing address; the location of waste handling and trans-
portation related facilities (i.e., garages, temporary storage
sites, etc.); and a business identification number (e.g., a
State tax number). The permit application should include a
description of each major piece of equipment which will be
used to handle and transport hazardous wastes. Equipment
capacities and the materials of construction should be
specified. Auxiliary equipment such as pumps, hoses, valves,
and non-sparking tools should also be described. The applicant
should list the types and quantities of wastes which he
anticipates will be handled, the origin of the wastes, and
the destination of the wastes. The application should also
describe the methods which will be used to dispose of rinsate
from tank and container cleaning operations. A responsible
official of the business should certify that the information
provided in the application is correct.
The application form should be designed so that the
information from the form can be easily transferred to computer
storage. Appendix A is an example of such a form which is used
by the New Jersey State Department of Environmental Protection
to register solid and liquid waste collectors and haulers.
It does not require all of the information which should be
included with a hazardous waste transportation permit
application, but is an example of a form which can be easily
processed for computer storage. Appendix B is a sample permit
application which could be used to obtain information from a
hazardous waste hauler. Instructions describing the information
which is necessary to complete a permit application form should
be provided to each potential applicant.
Permit applications should be evaluated to determine
if an applicant has the proper equipment to handle the wastes
which he proposes to handle. State personnel should visit
an applicant's site if there are any serious questions as to
his ability to handle hazardous wastes in an environmentally
acceptable manner. In some cases it may be desirable to
issue permits with conditions to restrict the wastes which
can be transported, to prohibit the mixing of certain wastes
(e.g., acids and cyanides), or to require that specific
procedures be followed when handling certain wastes.
Permit expiration dates should be staggered so that
approximately one-twelfth of the permits expire at the
end of each month. Staggering the expiration dates will
-------
allow the State staff to distribute its workload over the
year.
During the life of a permit, the waste hauler may wish
to amend the permit for various reasons (i.e., new customers,
additional wastes, new equipment, etc.). The permit system
should be flexible enough to allow amendments to the permit
application and thus to the permit.
Figure 1 is an example of a hazardous waste transpor-
tation permit. This form includes the data discussed above
(i.e., equipment description, permit conditions, pertinent
identification information, etc.).
Equipment Identification. Each major piece of all
hazardous waste handling and transportation equipment
(i.e., trucks, railroad cars, etc.) should be identified with
a State identification number. The identification number
should not be changed during the life of the equipment.
The number should be prominently displayed on the equipment.
In addition to the State identification number, a
current permit sticker should be affixed to the hazardous
waste transportation equipment. The purpose of this sticker
is to indicate that the equipment is currently licensed by
the State. The equipment operator should also carry a copy
of the State hazardous waste transportation permit for that
piece of equipment.
Figure 2 is an example of an equipment identification
sticker which includes a serial number, a reference to the
pertinent State authorities, and the permit expiration date.
The equipment identification number and sticker will
make it easier for hazardous waste shippers, hazardous waste
disposal or treatment site operators, and State enforcement
personnel to identify equipment which has been authorized
to carry hazardous wastes.
Hazardous Waste Shipping Papers. Each hazardous waste
hauler should carry shipping papers which describe the
hazardous wastes being transported. The shipping papers
should indicate the quantity and composition of the waste,
specific hazards, and the precautions which should be taken
in the event of emergency (i.e., fire, spillage, etc.).
In addition to the waste description, the shipping
papers, should identify the shipper, the hauler, and the
destination of the waste. General information about each

including locations, telephone numbers, and State
identification numbers should be shown on the shipping
papers. The shipping papers should also provide a place for
waste generators to certify that the description of the waste
material is correct; the hauler to certify that the wastes
were delivered to the designated destination; and the
treatment/disposal site operator to certify that the
wastes were received.
Copies of the shipping papers should be mailed to the
State by the shipper and the treatment/disposal site
operator at least once every month.
The shipping papers should be in such a format so that
they can be easily coded for computer storage. Instructions
should be provided with the shipping papers so that all
parties are aware of the information requirements. The
California Water Resources Control Board and the California
Department of Health have developed hazardous waste shipping
papers and instructions for the hazardous waste haulers in
California. • Appendix C is an example of the form which
shipping papers could take.
Accident and Incident Reporting. Immediate notice of an
accident or incident should be given to the State if a person
is killed or hospitalized; if property damage exceeds $50,000;
radioactive or etiologic agents are involved; or if a continuing
danger to life exists at the scene of the accident or incident.
Any other accident or incident which results in the unintentional
release of a hazardous waste or structural damage to hazardous
waste equipment should be reported to the State within 15
days .
Appendix D shows the form which is required by the
U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) to report
incidents involving hazarous materials. To avoid duplicative
effort by hazardous waste haulers, each State could require
haulers to submit copies of the DOT form to the State for
accidents or incidents involving hazardous wastes. The haulers
should include their State identification and permit numbers
with the other information required by the form to facilitate
the processing of the information.
Equipment Inspections. Each permit applicant should be
able to demonstrate that he has established a viable program
for inspecting equipment. An inspection program should
include a schedule for equipment inspection and a checklist
of specific areas or points which should be inspected.
-------
Both the schedule and the checklist should be submitted with
the permit application.
Each piece of hazardous waste handling and transportation
equipment should be inspected periodically by the owner or
operator of the equipment. Permit holders should be required
to maintain records showing when the equipment was inspected,
problems observed during the inspections, and,any maintenance
performed on the equipment.
Valves, gaskets, hoses, and cargo compartment seams are
particularly vulnerable and should be given special attention
during equipment inspections. Potential problems which are
found during inspections should be corrected immediately.
Record Keeping. In addition to inspection and maintenance
records, permit holders should keep records showing the
customers they service, the quantities and compositions of
wastes which were carried, the frequency of shipment, and the
destination of each shipment.
Data Handling
The quality of data generated by the hazardous waste
transportation control program depends upon the quality of
each individual data element which is gathered. For the
program discussed in this paper, three types of data gathering
forms would be necessary: the permit application, the
hazardous waste shipping papers, and the accident/incident
report. The quality of the data generated will be a
reflection of the quality of the data gathering forms and
the quality of the instructions which accompany those forms.
Forms and instructions should therefore be designed and
written to be compatible with an overall system of data
gathering, processing, and reporting.
Permit Application. A file should be established upon
receipt of a new hazardous waste transportation permit
application. If an application is approved, the hauler's
name and mailing address should be placed in a "tickler"
file so that a new permit application will be mailed to the
hauler at least sixty days prior to the expiration of the
permit.
At the end of each month the State should prepare a
report indicating the number of permit applications (new
or renewal) received during the month; the names, addresses,
and permit numbers of those applicants who received a permit
-------
during the month; the number of applications rejected
during the month; and the number of applications which
are still pending approval/disapproval on the last day
of the month. This report will assist the State to
maintain a current directory of active hazardous waste
haulers.
Hazardous Waste Shipping Papers. At the end of each
month the State should identify the shipping papers which
were received from either the shipper or the waste receptor,
but not from both. If the shipper's copy is missing, the
State should identify the name, address, and telephone
number of the shipper, the hauler, and the waste receptor,
and the serial number of the shipping paper. If the waste
receptor's copy is missing the State should identify the
name, address, and telephone number of the hauler, and the
serial number of the shipping paper.
A report should be prepared at the end of each month
which compiles the serial numbers of the missing copies
of shipping papers and the names, addresses, and telephone
numbers of the shippers, wastes receptors and/or haulers. >
The total number of sets of shipping papers which were received
from both the waste shipper and the waste receptor should
also be reported. This report will assist the State to improve
data quality and to identify flagrant violators.
Two other types of reports are also recommended to be
prepared each month. The first of these should summarize
the activities of the waste receptors. The information which
should be reported includes the name of each waste receptor,
an estimate of the hazardous waste transported to the receptor,
the quantity of waste transported to the receptor during the
previous month, the method of disposal (i.e., recovery,
treatment, incineration, etc.), and the quantities of waste
in each hazard category (i.e., toxic, flammable, corrosive,
explosive, etc.).
The second report should list all of the waste
haulers who hold hazardous waste transportation permits
but did not transport any hazardous wastes during the
month. This report will assist the State to identify the
hazardous waste haulers who may not be complying with
program requirments.
Accident and Incident Reports. When accident and
incident reports are received, they should be maintained
-------
in a file with the waste hauler's permit application.
At the end of each month the State should prepare a report
identifying the total number of accidents or incidents-;
the number of accidents or incidents which required
immediate reporting; and the number of accidents or
incidents which were a result of equipment failure,
operator error, etc. This information should be used
to identify hazardous waste transportation problem areas
and to improve each hauler's safety fitness.
Automatic Data Processing
Both manual and automatic data processing methods
could be employed to process the data, however, the
volume of data accumulated during a month will probably
necessitate the use of automatic data processing equip-
ment by most States. The use of automatic data processing
equipment will make it easier to produce the various
monthly reports, but it will also necessitate the development
of a coding system and the use of stringent quality control
measures.
Coding Systems and Dictionary. To facilitate the
processing of data with automatic data processing equipment
a numerical coding system and dictionary should be developed.
Coding systems provide an efficient method of compiling
data and reduce the probability of errors due to variations
in spelling of names. The most desirable coding scheme is
one which is familiar to the users and for which a
dictionary is already avalilable. As an example, data
source identification numbers can be derived from listings
such as State tax code numbers, the Dun and Bradstreet
code numbers, and Federal Employer Identification Numbers.
Chemical compounds can be identified with the codes found
in the Registry of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances. 2
New coding schemes may have to be developed for other
portions of the data gathering forms. In the event that
new coding schemes are developed, new dictionaries should
also be developed and made available to all users.
Quality Control. In implementing a new system such
as the one discussed here, it is important that the data
which is received from the various data sources (e.g.,
shippers, haulers, and waste receptors) be closely monitored
for quality. If these data sources realize that discrepancies
10
-------
will be noticed, they will attempt to supply better data.
If sloppy data passes through the system without question,
there will be no incentive for improvements.
When new forms are first used, an extra review step should
be included in the data processing procedure. All incoming
forms should receive a preliminary review to insure that
codes on the forms match the textual information on the
forms. Data sources which make errors should be contacted
to discuss the errors. The duration of this extra review
step would depend on the number of irregularities identified
each month and cannot be estimated exactly. A duration
of three months may be sufficient.
To insure continuing quality, a minimum of one percent
of the forms submitted should be selected at random for review
and validation throughout the entire life of the hazardous
waste transportation control program. Inconsistencies,
obvious errors, and other types of problems should be recorded
along with the name, address, and telephone number of the data
source which made the error. The data source should be
contacted to encourage correction of the error. Chronic
violators of the law should be investigated and prosecuted if
necessary. A summary tally of errors should be kept to project
the number and types of errors which would be present in the
full sample.
Review of the data gathering forms during the keypunching
step can help eliminate simple coding errors. Errors inherent
to the keypunching step are also introduced during this phase
of data handling. To eliminate the necessity of keypunching
the data altogether, consideration should be given to the
use of optical character recognition equipment. Simple coding
errors can still be detected through a preliminary review
of the data before processing it.
State Agencies Roles
Each State has an agency, department, or commission which
is responsible for regulating some, if not all, methods of
intrastate commercial freight transportation. These agencies
usually have two objectives. The first objective is to regulate
intrastate carriers rates and routes. The second objective is
to improve transportation safety. It is the latter objective
which is of interest to environmental and health protection
agencies. Reducing transportation accidents involving
hazardous materials and hazardous wastes reduces the potential
for harm which could result from the accidental release of
11
-------
these materials and wastes into the environment. Reducing the
accidents involving hazardous materials also reduces the
quantity of hazardous materials which become hazardous wastes
as the result of transporation accidents.
The importance of cooperation between environmental and
transportation regulatory agencies in this area should be
stressed. In one State, Minnesota, the legislature has directed
the Public Service Commission to set hazardous waste standards
in cooperation with the Pollution Control Agency.3 Other States
have established hazardous waste transportation control programs
which are independent of the transportation regulatory agencies.
Appendix E is a partial list of the States which have
established waste handling and transportation regulatory and
control programs. Appendix F is a list of the State agencies,
departments, and commissions which regulate motor carriers
as well as other forms of commercial freight transportation.
Interstate Cooperation
If a hazardous waste is generated in one State and
transported to another State for treatment or disposal, the
waste hauler should be required to obtain hazardous waste
transportation permits from the States which he will pass
through. The various States should develop agreements to
exchange information concerning the movement of interstate
hazardous waste shipments. The objective of this information
exchange is to be sure that the hazardous wastes are actually
reaching their assigned destinations and not being dumped in
transit. There are two occasions on which the exchange of
information is especially important. The first occasion is
when a State learns from its permit applications that a waste
generated within the State may be shipped to another State.
The other State(s) involved should be notified and should
respond by sending permit information to the hauler. The
second occasion is when a State learns through the hazardous
waste shipping papers that a waste has been transfered from
or to another State. If the waste does not reach its
destination, an investigation should be initiated to determine
the disposition of the waste and the hauler's fitness to
continue to transport hazardous wastes.
Equipment Operator Training
Each State should develop a training program for
hazardous wastes handling and transportation equipment
operators. Topics should include the special problems and
potential hazards posed by the transportation and disposal
12
-------
of industrial and commercial process wastes; information
concerning specific wastes; and equipment inspection
techniques. Some of the special problems which deserve
attention include the consequences of mixing incompatible
wastes; tank and container clean-out techniques; and the steps
which should be taken immediately following the unintentional
discharge of a hazardous waste. Equipment operator training
should be a continuing program with periodic sessions to
refresh and upgrade the equipment operators' knowledge of the
wastes which they are handling.
Program Resources
The resources required to implement a State hazardous
waste transportation control program will of course vary from
State to State, depending upon the quantity of hazardous
waste generated and shipped in each State. A State which
issues approximately 400 permits per year would probably
require about six man-years of effort and a budget of
$185,000 each year to process data, .prepare reports, and to
investigate and prepare enforcement cases. A larger State
which issues approximately 800 permits per year would probably
require as much as twelve man-years effort and a budget of
$355,000 each year to do the same tasks. Table 1 shows the
type and number of man-years which would be required to operate
these two different sized hazardous waste transportation
control programs.
Federal Programs
The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) has published
regulations which set standards for the packaging and labeling
of hazardous materials. These regulations include a list of
hazardous materials and hazardous material definitions.
Summaries of the hazardous material definitions are shown in
Appendix G. Any material, including waste, which is
classified as hazardous persuant to the DOT definitions, must
be packaged and labeled to comply with DOT regulations. Any
carrier who handles hazardous materials (and hazardous wastes)
must comply with the DOT regulations pertaining to equipment
construction; tank and container testing; and placarding.
Pursuant to the "Transportation Safety Act of 1974,"
the DOT registration, packaging, labeling, and testing
requirements apply to any shipment of hazardous materials,
even though it may only be an intrastate shipment.5 In
addition, any State requirements which are inconsistent with

the DOT requirements are preempted, unless specifically
approved by the Secretary of Transportation. This Act does
not prohibit the development of a State hazardous waste
transportation control program, but it does specify some
of the program parameters.
The DOT regulations and definitions were-developed
to promote transportation safety, but not to protect the
environment. Therefore, wastes which are considered
hazardous materials pursuant to the DOT definitions and
list are only a subset of the wastes which would be
considered hazardous for hazardous waste management
purposes. Asbestos-containing waste is an example of
waste which, if disposed of improperly, is hazardous,
but would not be classified as such by DOT definitions.
Asbestos wastes, as well as other hazardous wastes,
should be regulated by a State's hazardous waste
transportation control program.
Permits are not issued by the DOT. The Interstate
Commerce Commission (ICC) does issue permits to some
types of motor carriers. The ICC recognizes three classes
of motor carriers: common carriers (i.e., carriers
which carry specific commodities between specific points);
contract carriers (i.e., carriers with one to eight
customers); and unregulated carriers. Unregulated carriers
do not receive permits from the ICC and include intrastate
carriers, private carriers (i.e., company owned and
operated trucks), and exempted carriers (i.e., livestock
and produce carriers).
To obtain a permit from the ICC, applicants must
demonstrate that there is a need for the service, prove
their fitness to perform the service, and if hazardous
materials are involved, the applicant must not have
flagrantly violated the DOT hazardous material regulations.
An applicant's fitness is only investigated if the
application is challenged by some interested party
(i.e., another carrier). Permits issued to hazardous
material carriers expire after five years and must be
renewed by making a new application.

Special Instructions Cor Completing Items 5, 6 and 10 of
Registration Statement for a Solid/Liquid Waste
Collector or Hauler
A. PRIVATE AUTOMOBILES AND STATION WAGONS NEED NOT REGISTER.
B. In order to properly complete Item 10 of the Registration Statement for a
Solid/Liquid Waste Collector or Hauler, it may be necessary to convert cubic
yards of waste to tons where the actual weight of the wastes collected have
not been determined through the use of scales.. To convert from cubic yards to
tons, simply multiply the volume (in yards) by the appropriate factor listed
below.
1. For Municipal-Type Wastes (Household, Commercial, Institutional):
in Non-Compacting Vehicles: Multiply cubic yards by 0.12
in Compactor Trucks up to 20 c.y. caps ity: Multiply cubic yards by 0.25
in Compactor Trucks with capacity between 21 and 25 c.y.i Multiply cubic
ya-rds by 0. 35
.*
in Compactor Trucks with capacity over 25 c.y.i Multiply cubic yards by 0.40
2. For Construction, Demolition, Yard Wastes, and Other Bulky Wastes:
Multiply cubic yards by 0.20
3. For Dry Chemicals (liquids should be entered as gallons);
Multiply cubic yards by 2.0
C. For out-of-state wastes only (Item 10), enter the name of the state (New York-
Penna.-Delaware-Other) in blocks marked County.
D. For Public Utility Commission Certificate Number (Item 5) in excess of four
• digits, use only the last four digits and place an asterisk (*) to the right
of the blocks.
E. Fees (Item 6) Annually: 1st vehicle (each registrant) = $45.00
each additional vehicle
(same registrant) = 5.00
F. Item 10 Report actual tons of solid materials and thousands of gallons
for liquid materials.
EXAMPLE:
22 cubic yard compactor, 5 loads per day municipal waste, 6 days ppr
week, 52 weeks per year (for this example use factor of 0.35)
22 x 5 x 6 x 52 x 0.35 = 12012
cubic yards loads days per weeks factor for Tons per year
per load per day week per year vehicle and

such compound, mixture, or device is otherwise
specifically classified in Parts 170-189 of
this chapter. (Sec. 173.50)
Detonating or otherwise of maximum hazard.
There are nine types of Class A explosives all
defined in Sec. 173.53.
In general, function by rapid combustion
rather than detonation and include some
explosive devices such as special fireworks,
flash powder, etc. Flammable hazard.
(Sec. 173.88)

containing Class A, or Class B explosives, or
both, as components but in restricted quantities,
and certain types of fireworks. Minimum
hazard. (Sec. 173.100)
FLAMMABLE
LIQUID
PYROFORlC.
LIQUID
Any liquid having a flash point below 100°F
(37.8°C) as determined by tests prescribed
in Sec. 173.115.
Any liquid that ignites spontaneously in dry
or moist air at or below 130°F. (Sec. 173.115)
COMBUSTIBLE
LIQUID

CLASSIFICATION
DEFINITIONS
FLAMMABLE
SOLID
Any solid material, other than an explosive,
which is liable to cause fires through friction,
absorption of moisture, spontaneous chemical
changes, retained heat from manufacturing or
processing, or which can be ignited readily
and when ignited burns so vigorously and
persistently as to create a serious transportation
hazard. (Sec. 173.150)
OXIDIZING
MATERIAL
A substance that yields oxygen readily to
stimulate the combustion of organic matter.
(Sec. 173.151)
CORROSIVE
MATERIAL
Any liquid or solid that causes destruction of
human skin tissue or a liquid that has a severe
corrosion rate on steel or aluminum.
(Sec. 173.240 (a) and (b))
COMPRESSED
GAS
Any material or mixture having in the container
pressure exceeding 40 psi at 70°F or, having an
absolute pressure exceeding 104 psi at 130°F.
(Sec. 173.300(a))
FLAMMABLE
COMPRESSED
GAS
Any flammable material or mixture having in the
container a pressure exceeding 40 psi at 100°F.
(Sec. 173.300)
