National Biennial RCRA Hazardous Waste Report: Based on 1999 Data
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), in partnership with the States1, biennially
collects information regarding the generation, management, and final disposition of hazardous wastes
regulated under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA), as amended. The purpose
of The National Biennial RCRA Hazardous Waste Report (Based on 1999 Data) is to communicate the
findings of EPA's 1999 Biennial Report (BR) data collection efforts to the public, government agencies, and
the regulated community.2 The Report consists of six volumes:
The Executive Summary provides an overview of national hazardous waste generation and
management practices;
The National Analysis presents a detailed look at waste-handling practices in the EPA
Regions, States, and largest facilities nationally, including (1) the quantity of waste generated,
managed, shipped and received, and imported and exported between States and (2) the
number of generators and managing facilities;
The State Summary Analysis provides a two-page overview of the generation and
management practices of individual States;
The State Detail Analysis is a detailed look at each State's waste handling practices, including
overall totals for generation, management, and shipments and receipts, as well as totals for the
largest fifty facilities;
The List of Large Quantity Generators identifies every hazardous waste generator in the
United States that reported itself to be a large quantity generator in 1999; and
The List of Treatment, Storage, and Disposal Facilities identifies every hazardous waste
manager in the United States that reported itself to be a treatment, storage, or disposal facility
in 1999.
The term "State" includes the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, the Navajo Nation, the Trust Territories, and the Virgin Islands, in
addition to the 50 United States.
2
Some respondents from the States of Georgia and Connecticut submitted Confidential Business Information (CBI) pursuant to §40 CFR
260.2(b). While not included in any public database, CBI has been incorporated into the Executive Summary and National Analysis volumes
of this Report wherever possible. Where CBI has been omitted from these volumes, a footnote has been provided.
Exclusion of wastewater from the 1999 National Biennial Report will make cursory comparisons of the 1999 National Biennial Report to
National Biennial Reports prior to 1997 misleading. Refer to Executive Summary (ES-2) for a complete explanation.

National Biennial RCRA Hazardous Waste Report: Based on 1999 Data
RCRA HAZARDOUS WASTE
Throughout this Report, the term RCRA hazardous waste refers to solid waste assigned a Federal
Hazardous Waste Code and regulated by RCRA. Some States elect to regulate wastes not regulated by
EPA; these wastes are assigned State Hazardous Waste Codes and are not included in this Report. The
reader can find more detailed explanations in the RCRA Orientation Manual
(http://www.epa.gov/epaoswer/general/orientat/) and in the Code of Federal Regulations in 40 CFR Parts
260 and 261 (http://www.epa.gov/docs/epacfr40/chapt-l.info/subch-l.htm). Please refer to Appendix D of the
National Analysis volume for a complete list of EPA Hazardous Waste Codes used by the regulated
community for their 1999 Biennial Report submissions. Details about the information submitted by the
regulated community can be found in the 1999 Hazardous Waste Report Instructions and Forms
(http://www.epa.gov/epaoswer/hazwaste/data/brs99/forms.htm).
WASTEWATER EXCLUSION LOGIC USED FOR NATIONAL REPORTING
Wastewaters are defined for biennial reporting as wastes that have a particular form and/or are
managed on-site or off-site in treatment systems typically used to manage wastewater. All wastes bearing
one of the following wastewater Form Codes (B101-102; B105, B110-116) and/or System Type Codes
(M071-079; M081-085, 089; M091-094, 099; M121-125, 129; M134-136) are excluded from the National
Report data and the 1999 National Biennial Report, with one exception: wastewaters managed by
System Type Code M134 (Deepwell/Underground Injection) are included in the 1999 National Biennial
Report. Refer to Appendix B and C of the National Analysis volume for complete descriptions of the System
Type Codes and Form Codes referenced above.
In biennial report cycles prior to 1997, the PS Form was used to separate and exclude from the
National Report data all wastes going to on-site treatment systems exempt from RCRA permitting
requirements. For the 1999 National Biennial Report, EPA included all non-wastewater data and
excluded all wastewater data. The wastewater data was excluded regardless of whether the wastes
were managed in RCRA permitted systems prior to management in on-site or off-site treatment
systems exempt from RCRA permitting requirements. This is significant, because historically EPA has
included only those wastes managed in units subject to RCRA permitting requirements in the National
Biennial Reports. EPA does not believe the inclusion of all non-wastewaters will distort the RCRA hazardous
waste management picture presented in this Report, because only a small volume of non-wastewaters are
managed in treatment systems exempt from RCRA permitting requirements.
Exclusion of wastewater from the 1999 National Biennial Report will make cursory comparisons of the 1999 National Biennial Report to
National Biennial Reports prior to 1997 misleading. Refer to Executive Summary (ES-2) for a complete explanation.

National Biennial RCRA Hazardous Waste Report: Based on 1999 Data
RCRA HAZARDOUS WASTE GENERATION
RCRA hazardous waste generation information is obtained from data reported by RCRA large
quantity generators (LQGs). A generator is defined as a Federal large quantity generator if:
the generator generated in any single month 1,000 kg (2,200 pounds or 1.1 tons) or more of
RCRA hazardous waste; or
the generator generated in any single month, or accumulated at any time, 1 kg (2.2 pounds) of
RCRA acute hazardous waste; or
the generator generated, or accumulated at any time, more than 100 kg (220 pounds) of spill
cleanup material contaminated with RCRA acute hazardous waste.
All generators that reported LQG status in 1999 are required to provide EPA with 1999 waste
generation and management information. It is important to note that the LQGs identified in this Report have
been included based on the most current information made available to EPA by the States. Both EPA and
the States have made a significant effort to ensure the accuracy of this data. However, the LQG counts may
include generators that, when determining whether they were LQGs, used a lower State-defined threshold
for LQGs, counted wastes regulated only by their States, or counted wastes exempt from Federal regulation.
To help provide a more accurate picture of hazardous waste generation in the United States, EPA
requests specific waste generation information from LQGs. For each RCRA hazardous waste generated,
LQGs are required to provide a waste description, the applicable Federal Hazardous Waste Codes that most
accurately represent the waste generated, and the quantity of waste generated.
In 1999, 20,083 LQGs reported they generated 40 million tons of RCRA hazardous waste. When
comparing the 1997 National Biennial Report with the 1999 Report, the number of LQGs decreased by 233,
and the quantity of hazardous waste generated decreased by 650 thousand tons or 1.5%. Beginning with
the 1997 BR cycle and continuing with the 1999 BR cycle, the generation of wastewater is excluded from the
national reporting logic. For a more detailed description of the wastewater exclusion, please refer to the
section of the Executive Summary entitled "Wastewater Exclusion Logic Used for National Reporting." The
wastewater exclusion will make cursory comparisons between the 1999 National Biennial Report and
National Reports prior to 1997 misleading.
Exclusion of wastewater from the 1999 National Biennial Report will make cursory comparisons of the 1999 National Biennial Report to
National Biennial Reports prior to 1997 misleading. Refer to Executive Summary (ES-2) for a complete explanation.

National Biennial RCRA Hazardous Waste Report: Based on 1999 Data
As identified in Exhibit 1, the five (5) States which contributed most to the national hazardous waste
generation total in 1999 were Texas (14.9 million tons), Louisiana (4.4 million tons), Illinois (2.9 million tons),
Tennessee (2.2 million tons), and Ohio (1.6 million tons). Together, the LQGs in these States accounted for
65% of the national total quantity generated.
Exclusion of wastewater from the 1999 National Biennial Report will make cursory comparisons of the 1999 National Biennial Report to
National Biennial Reports prior to 1997 misleading. Refer to Executive Summary (ES-2) for a complete explanation.

National Biennial RCRA Hazardous Waste Report: Based on 1999 Data
RCRA HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT
RCRA hazardous waste management information is obtained from data reported by active,
permitted RCRA treatment, storage, or disposal facilities (TSDs). A TSD is defined as any facility which
treats, stores, or disposes of RCRA hazardous waste, regardless of the quantity managed. Only wastes that
were treated or disposed of in 1999 are included in the management quantities in this Report. Wastes
generated and subsequently stored in 1999 are not included in the management quantities in this Report. In
addition, the management quantities in this Report do not include waste from transfer facilities (System
Code M141).
To help provide a more accurate picture of hazardous waste management practices in the United
States, EPA requests specific waste management information from TSDs. For each RCRA hazardous
waste managed, TSDs are required to provide the quantity of waste managed and the System Type Code
which represents the management method used to manage the waste.
It is important to note that the total quantity of RCRA hazardous waste generated is less than the
total quantity managed. Some of the reasons for this variance include: wastes generated during non-
reporting years but shipped and treated or disposed during a reporting year and wastes received for
management from generators in foreign countries.
In 1999, 1,575 TSDs reported they managed 26.3 million tons of RCRA hazardous waste. Of the
1,575 facilities, 1,049 were storage-only facilities. When comparing the 1997 National Biennial Report with
the 1999 Report, the number of TSDs decreased by 450, and the total quantity of hazardous waste
managed decreased by 11.4 million tons or 30%. Beginning with the 1997 BR cycle and continuing with the
1999 BR cycle, the management of wastewater is excluded from the national reporting logic. For a more
detailed description of the wastewater exclusion, please refer to the section of the Executive Summary
entitled "Wastewater Exclusion Logic Used for National Reporting." The wastewater exclusion will make
cursory comparisons between the 1999 National Biennial Report and National Reports prior to 1997
misleading.
As identified in Exhibit 2, the five (5) States whose TSDs managed the largest quantities of
hazardous wastes were Texas (5.8 million tons), Louisiana (4.2 million tons), Florida (2.8 million tons),
Kansas (2.3 million tons), and Ohio (1.7 million tons). The TSDs in these five (5) States account for 64% of
the national management total.
Exclusion of wastewater from the 1999 National Biennial Report will make cursory comparisons of the 1999 National Biennial Report to
National Biennial Reports prior to 1997 misleading. Refer to Executive Summary (ES-2) for a complete explanation.

National Biennial RCRA Hazardous Waste Report: Based on 1999 Data
RCRA HAZARDOUS WASTE SHIPMENTS AND RECEIPTS
RCRA hazardous waste shipment information is obtained from data reported by both RCRA LQGs
and RCRA TSDs. To help provide a more accurate picture of hazardous waste shipments in the United
States, EPA requests specific shipment information. For each waste shipped, LQGs and TSDs are required
to provide a waste description, the applicable Federal Hazardous Waste Codes, the quantity of waste
shipped, and the EPA Identification Number of the receiving facility. All RCRA non-wastewater shipments
reported by RCRA LQGs and TSDs are included in the waste shipment quantities in this Report, even if the
waste was shipped to a transfer facility. In some instances, waste is transferred within a physical location
that has more than one EPA Identification Number. These waste transfers are treated as shipments.
RCRA hazardous waste receipt information is obtained from data reported by RCRA TSDs. To help
provide a more accurate picture of hazardous waste receipts in the United States, EPA requests certain
receipt information from TSDs. For each waste received, TSDs are required to provide a waste description,
the applicable Federal Hazardous Waste Codes, the quantity of waste received, and the EPA Identification
Number of the facility from which the waste was received. For each received waste which is subsequently
managed, TSDs are required to provide the System Type Code which represents the management method
used to manage the waste. All RCRA non-wastewater receipts reported by RCRA TSDs are included in the
waste receipt quantities in this Report, even if the waste was received from a transfer facilitiy.
RCRA hazardous waste export quantities include wastes generated in one State and shipped to a
receiver in a different State. Exports are calculated from information provided by waste shippers. RCRA
hazardous waste imports include all wastes received by a State which differs from the State of origin. RCRA
hazardous waste imports are calculated from information provided by RCRA TSDs.
In 1999, 17,914 shippers reported shipping 8.1 million tons of RCRA hazardous waste. When
comparing the 1997 National Biennial Report with the 1999 Report, the number of shippers decreased by
115, and the quantity of waste shipped increased by 817 thousand tons or 11%. Beginning with the 1997
BR cycle and continuing with the 1999 BR cycle, the shipment of wastewater is excluded from the national
reporting logic. For a more detailed description of the wastewater exclusion, please refer to the section of
the Executive Summary entitled "Wastewater Exclusion Logic Used for National Reporting." The wastewater
exclusion will make cursory comparisons between the 1999 National Reports and National Reports prior to
1997 misleading.

National Biennial RCRA Hazardous Waste Report: Based on 1999 Data
NATIONAL BIENNIAL RCRA HAZARDOUS WASTE REPORT
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), in partnership with the States1, biennially
collects information regarding the generation, management, and final disposition of hazardous wastes
regulated under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA), as amended. The purpose
of this Report is to communicate the findings of EPA's 1999 Biennial Report (BR) data collection efforts to
the public, government agencies, and the regulated community.2
1.0 WASTE GENERATION
The following section provides an overview of the 1999 RCRA hazardous waste generation data through
a series of exhibits and textual summaries. For a complete description of this section's contents, please
refer to the Executive Summary sections entitled "RCRA Hazardous Waste" and "RCRA Hazardous Waste
Generation."
In 1999, 20,083 large quantity generators (LQGs) reported they generated 40 million tons3 of hazardous
wastes regulated by RCRA. When comparing the 1997 National Biennial Report with the 1999 Report, the
number of LQGs decreased by 233, and the quantity of hazardous waste generated decreased by 650
thousand tons or 1.5%. Beginning with the 1997 BR cycle and continuing with the 1999 BR cycle, the
generation of wastewater is excluded from the national reporting logic. For a more detailed description of
the wastewater exclusion, please refer to the section of the Executive Summary entitled "Wastewater
Exclusion Logic Used for National Reporting." The wastewater exclusion will make cursory comparisons
between the 1999 National Biennial Report and National Reports prior to 1997 misleading.
Exhibits 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3 present the number of LQGs and the quantity of RCRA hazardous waste
generated by LQGs in each EPA Region4. LQGs in three (3) of the EPA Regions (Regions 6, 5, and 4)
produced 83% of the 40 million tons generated nationally in 1999. LQGs in Region 6 generated 20.9 million
The term "State" includes the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, the Navajo Nation, the Trust Territories, and the Virgin Islands, in
addition to the 50 United States.

tons (or 52% of the national total), LQGs in Region 5 generated 7.1 million tons (18%), and LQGs in Region
4 generated 5.1 million tons (13%).
As Exhibits 1.2 and 1.3 reveal, there is not necessarily a correlation between the Regions which
generate the largest quantities of hazardous waste and the Regions with the greatest number of LQGs. In
1999, the Regions with the most LQGs were Region 5 (4,398 or 22% of the national total), Region 2 (3,824
or 19%), and Region 4 (2,751 or 14%). These three (3) Regions accounted for 55% of the total number of
LQGs. While LQGs in Region 6 generated the largest percentage of hazardous waste (20.1 million tons),
the Region ranked sixth in number of LQGs (1,776). Region 5 had the most LQGs (4,398), though the
Region ranked second in hazardous waste generation (7.1 million tons). Region 8 had the fewest LQGs
(343) and also generated the least amount of hazardous waste (162 thousand tons).

Exhibits 1.4, 1.5, and 1.6 present the number of LQGs and the quantity of RCRA hazardous waste
generated by LQGs in each State. The five (5) States whose LQGs produced the largest amount of
hazardous waste were Texas (14.9 million tons), Louisiana (4.4 million tons), Illinois (2.9 million tons),
Tennessee (2.2 million tons), and Ohio (1.6 million tons). Together, the LQGs in these States accounted for
65% of the national total quantity generated.
The States with the most LQGs were New York (2,647), California (1,850), Ohio (1,181), New Jersey
(1,071), Illinois (1,006), Pennsylvania (965), Texas (907), and Michigan (823). The LQGs in these States
accounted for 52% of the total number of LQGs.
Exhibit 1.7 provides a list of the 50 largest generators in the nation in 1999. The listed generators
produced 77% (30.7 million tons) of the national total. Fourteen (14) of the top 50 generators are located in
Texas, the top-ranked State in hazardous waste generation. These 14 Texas LQGs accounted for 92% of
the State's generation total and 34% of the national generation total. The six (6) LQGs in Louisiana, the
State ranked second in hazardous waste generation, accounted for 92% of the State's generation total and
10% of the national generation total. Ten (10) of the largest generators are located in Illinois, Tennessee,
and Ohio, the States ranked third, fourth, and fifth, respectively, in hazardous waste generation. These
LQGs accounted for 12% of the national total quantity generated.

National Biennial RCRA Hazardous Waste Report: Based on 1999 Data
Exhibit 1.8 illustrates the relationship between various hazardous waste generation quantity ranges
and the number of generators that generated within each range. Most of the LQGs (13,096 generators or
65% of the national total) generated between 1.1 and 113.2 tons in 1999. Only 50 LQGs (less than 1% of all
LQGs) generated within the top tier of hazardous waste generation, over 111,113.2 tons, but these few
LQGs accounted for 77% of the national total quantity generated. Ninety-five percent (95%) of all LQGs
generated 1,113 tons or less in 1999.

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

National Biennial RCRA Hazardous Waste Report: Based on 1999 Data
A corrosive waste is a solid waste that exhibits the following properties:
An aqueous material with pH less than or equal to 2, or greater than or equal to 12.5.
A liquid that corrodes steel at a rate greater than 1/4 inch per year at a temperature of 55
degrees Celsius (130 degrees Fahrenheit).
A reactive waste is a solid waste that exhibits the following properties:
Normally unstable and reacts violently without detonating.
Reacts violently with water.
Forms an explosive mixture with water.
Contains cyanide or sulfide and generates toxic gases, vapors, or fumes at a pH of between 2
and 12.5.
Capable of detonation if heated under confinement or subjected to a strong initiating source.
Capable of detonation at standard temperature and pressure.
Listed by DOT as Class A or B explosive.
Wastes with the toxicity characteristic are identified through failure of the Toxicity Characteristic
Leaching Procedure Test (TCLP). A solid waste exhibits the toxicity characteristic if, using the TCLP or an
equivalent method, the extract from a representative sample of the waste contains any of the contaminants
D004 to D043 at a concentration equal to or greater than the value described in §40 CFR 261.24.
The term "listed waste" (F, K, P, and U codes) refers to waste that EPA has identified as hazardous as
a result of its investigations of particular industries or because EPA has specifically recognized a commercial
chemical waste's toxicity. A solid waste is a "listed" hazardous waste if it is named on one of three lists
developed by EPA:
• Non-specific source wastes ('F' wastes): These are generic wastes, commonly produced by
manufacturing and industrial processes. Examples from this list include spent halogenated solvents
used in degreasing, and wastewater treatment sludge from electroplating processes, as well as
dioxin wastes, most of which are acutely hazardous wastes due to the danger they present to human
health and the environment.
Biennial Reports prior to 1997 misleading. Refer to Executive Summary (ES-2) for a complete explanation.
1-11
-------
National Biennial RCRA Hazardous Waste Report: Based on 1999 Data
• Specific source wastes ('K' wastes): This list consists of wastes from specifically identified industries
such as wood preserving, petroleum refining, and organic chemical manufacturing. These wastes
typically include sludges, still bottoms, wastewater, spent catalysts, and residues, (e.g., wastewater
treatment sludge from pigment production).
• Commercial chemical products ('P' and 'IT wastes): The third list consists of specific commercial
chemical products, or manufacturing chemical intermediates. This list includes chemicals such as
chloroform and creosote, acids such as sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid, and pesticides such as
DDT and kepone. The 'IT wastes include toxic chemicals while 'P' waste listings are reserved for
acutely toxic chemicals.
Exhibits 1.9, 1.10, and 1.11 divide the 1999 national generation total according to the percentage of
characteristic, listed, or a mixture of characteristic and listed. Wastes categorized as only characteristic
wastes represented 52% (20.9 million tons) of the national generation total, while listed-only wastes
comprised 18% (7.3 million tons), and wastes with both characteristic and listed waste codes constituted
29% (11.8 million tons) of the national total. Mixed wastes (wastes which have multiple characteristics, are
listed on more than one list, or are both) represented 62% (24.7 million tons) of the national generation total
in 1999.

National Biennial RCRA Hazardous Waste Report: Based on 1999 Data
2.0 WASTE MANAGEMENT
The following section provides an overview of the 1999 RCRA hazardous waste management data
through a series of exhibits and textual summaries. For a complete description of this section's contents,
please refer to the Executive Summary sections entitled "RCRA Hazardous Waste" and "RCRA Hazardous
Waste Management." Also, Appendix B provides a complete list of management systems and the System
Type Codes used to identify them.
In 1999, 1,575 treatment, storage, or disposal (TSD) facilities reported they managed 26.3 million
tons of hazardous waste through treatment, storage, or disposal. Of the 1,575 TSDs, 1,049 were storage-
only facilities in 1999. When comparing the 1997 National Biennial Report with the 1999 Report, the number
of TSDs decreased by 450, and the quantity of hazardous waste managed decreased 11.4 million tons
(30%). Beginning with the 1997 BR cycle and continuing with the 1999 BR cycle, the management of
wastewater is excluded from the national reporting logic. For a more detailed description of the wastewater
exclusion, please refer to the section of the Executive Summary entitled "Wastewater Exclusion Logic Used
for National Reporting." The wastewater exclusion will make cursory comparisons between the 1999
National Biennial Report and National Reports prior to 1997 misleading.
Exhibits 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3 present the quantity of RCRA hazardous waste managed and the number
of TSDs in each EPA Region1. TSDs located in three (3) Regions managed 80% of the 26.3 million tons
managed nationally in 1999. These Regions were Region 6 (11.5 million tons), Region 4 (5.2 million tons),
and Region 5 (4.4 million tons). As would seem logical, Region 6, Region 4 and Region 5 were also the top
ranked Regions in hazardous waste generation in 1999.
The three (3) Regions that managed the most waste also have the most TSDs. The number of TSDs
in these three (3) Regions were Region 4 (305), Region 5 (284), and Region 6 (245). These three (3)
Regions combined accounted for 53% of the total number of TSDs. Region 10 had the fewest TSDs (41).
Appendix A includes a list of States by EPA Region.

Exhibits 2.4, 2.5, and 2.6 present the quantity of RCRA hazardous waste managed and the number
of TSDs in each State. TSDs in Texas managed the largest amount of waste (5.8 million tons), followed by
Louisiana (4.2 million tons), Florida (2.8 million tons), Kansas (2.3 million tons), and Ohio (1.7 million tons).
Together, the TSDs in these States accounted for 64% of the national management total.
California reported the most TSDs (144), followed by Texas (105), Illinois (86), North Carolina (75),
Louisiana (68), Michigan (61), New York (59), Missouri (51), Pennsylvania (51), and Ohio (49). TSDs in
these States constituted 48% of the total number of TSDs. Montana and the Navajo Nation reported no
TSDs. The District of Columbia, Guam, New Hampshire, South Dakota, and Wyoming all reported having
TSD facilities but zero management quantities. The TSDs in these States reported storage-only
management or the management of wastewaters excluded from the 1999 national reporting logic.
Exhibit 2.7 presents the 50 largest RCRA hazardous waste management facilities in the nation in
1999. Collectively, these TSDs accounted for 82% (21.6 million tons) of the national management total.
The largest manager, Fairbanks Disposal, in Gainesville, Florida, managed 2.6 million tons of RCRA
hazardous waste in 1999, which accounted for 10% of the national management total.

National Biennial RCRA Hazardous Waste Report: Based on 1999 Data
Large TSDs in the five (5) States which managed the most waste (Texas, Louisiana, Florida, Kansas,
and Ohio) also accounted for the majority of each State's management totals. Twelve (12) Texas TSDs
managed 20% of the national management total and accounted for 90% of the State's management total.
The five (5) largest Louisiana facilities managed 15% of the national management total and accounted for
93% of the State's management total. Eight (8) of the largest managers are located in Florida, Kansas, and
Ohio, the States ranked third, fourth, and fifth, respectively, in hazardous waste management. These TSDs
accounted for 24% of the national management total.
Exhibits 2.8, 2.9, and 2.10 provide an overview of the various management methods and quantity of
waste managed by each method. As stated earlier, all wastewaters were excluded from the 1999 National
Report data, therefore, most management methods employed for managing the wastewater (including
aqueous treatment units and direct discharge to sewer/POTW or to surface water under NPDES) have also
been excluded from this Report. However, wastes managed in Deepwell/Underground Injection (M134) are
included in this Report.
Land disposal accounted for 69% of the national non-wastewater management total. The land
disposal units and quantity managed by method include:
Deepwell/Underground Injection 16.0 million tons
Landfill 1.4 million tons
Surface Impoundment 705 thousand tons
Land Treatment/Application/Farming 30 thousand tons
Thermal treatment accounted for 11% of the national non-wastewater management total. Thermal
treatment methods include:
Energy Recovery 1.5 million tons
Incineration 1.5 million tons
Exclusion of wastewater from the 1999 National Biennial Report will make cursory comparisons of the 1999 National Biennial Report to National
Biennial Reports prior to 1997 misleading. Refer to Executive Summary (ES-2) for a complete explanation.

National Biennial RCRA Hazardous Waste Report: Based on 1999 Data
Exhibits 2.11, 2.12, and 2.13 present the management methods used for treating or disposing of
wastes received from off-site and the quantity managed by each method. In 1999, 6 million tons (23% of
the national management total) of waste was received from off-site and subsequently managed on-site in
treatment and disposal units. As stated earlier, all wastewaters were excluded from the 1999 National
Report data, therefore, most management methods employed for managing the wastewater (including
aqueous treatment units and direct discharge to sewer/POTW or to surface water under NPDES) have also
been excluded from this Report. However, wastes managed in Deepwell/Underground Injection (M134) are
included in this Report.

Land disposal units also accounted for 24% of the national non-wastewater management total for
waste received from off-site and subsequently managed on-site. Land disposal units include:
Landfill 793 thousand tons
Deepwell/Underground Injection 638 thousand tons
Land Treatment / Application / Farming 13 tons
Other treatment and disposal units were used to manage the remaining 18% of the national non-
wastewater management total for wastes received from off-site and managed on-site. Other treatment
and disposal units include:
Stabilization 1 million tons
Other Disposal 16 thousand tons
Sludge treatment 328 tons
A comparison of the management profile for all wastes and for wastes received from off-site shows
that wastes managed off-site are managed differently. Wastewaters were excluded from the 1999 National
Report data, therefore, most management methods employed for managing wastewaters have also been
excluded from this Report. Of the wastes included in this Report, most were managed on-site in
Deepwell/Underground Injection. The majority of wastes received from off-site were managed by
Stabilization, Fuel Blending, or Energy Recovery.

National Biennial RCRA Hazardous Waste Report: Based on 1999 Data
3.0 SHIPMENTS AND RECEIPTS
The following section provides an overview of the 1999 RCRA hazardous waste shipping1 and
receiving data through a series of exhibits and textual summaries. For a complete description of this
section's contents, please refer to the Executive Summary sections entitled "RCRA Hazardous Waste" and
"RCRA Hazardous Waste Shipments and Receipts."
In 1999, 17,914 shippers reported shipping (either within the State or between States) 8.1 million
tons of RCRA hazardous waste. When comparing the 1997 National Biennial Report with the 1999 Report,
the number of shippers decreased by 115, and the quantity of waste shipped increased by 817 thousand
tons or 11%. All RCRA non-wastewater shipments reported by RCRA LQGs and TSDs are included in the
waste shipment quantities in this Report, even if the waste was shipped to a transfer facility. Beginning with
the 1997 BR cycle and continuing with the 1999 BR cycle, the shipment of wastewater is excluded from the
national reporting logic. For a more detailed description of the wastewater exclusion, please refer to the
section of the Executive Summary entitled "Wastewater Exclusion Logic Used for National Reporting." The
wastewater exclusion will make cursory comparisons between the 1999 National Biennial Report and
National Reports prior to 1997 misleading.
Exhibits 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3 present the quantity of waste shipped and the number of shippers in each
EPA Region2. Region 5 reported the largest number of shippers (4,130) and also reported shipping the
greatest amount of waste, 2 million tons or 25% of the national shipment total. Region 8 reported the fewest
shippers (329) and reported shipping the least amount of waste (140 thousand tons).
The term "shipment" refers to the physical transfer of waste from one facility to another. In some instances, waste is transferred within a
physical location that has more than one EPA Identification Number. These waste transfers are treated as shipments.

Appendix A includes a list of States by EPA Region.

shippers in each State. New York reported the most shippers (1,904), followed by California (1,662), Ohio
(1,082), New Jersey (999), Illinois (934), Pennsylvania (929), Texas (883), and Michigan (799). Shippers in
these States constituted 51% of the total number of shippers. South Carolina reported no shippers or
shipments in 1999. Texas reported shipping the most waste, 727 thousand tons or 9% of the national
shipment total. Massachusetts (640 thousand tons), Georgia (630 thousand tons), Ohio (614 thousand
tons), Michigan (564 thousand tons), New Jersey (543 thousand tons), Kansas (429 thousand tons), and
Indiana (389 thousand tons) were also among the top States in quantity of waste shipped. Shippers in these
States accounted for 48% of the national shipment total. The 50 largest shippers in the United States are
presented in Exhibit 3.7, and their shipments accounted for 44% of the national shipment total in 1999.

National Biennial RCRA Hazardous Waste Report: Based on 1999 Data
In 1999, 499 TSDs reported receiving 6.6 million tons of RCRA hazardous waste. When comparing
the 1997 National Biennial Report with the 1999 Report, the number of TSDs receiving waste dropped by 44,
and the quantity of waste received decreased by 1.4 million tons or 18%. All RCRA non-wastewater receipts
reported by RCRA TSDs are included in the waste receipt quantities in this Report, even if the waste was
received from a transfer facility. Beginning with 1997 BR cycle and continuing with the 1999 BR cycle, the
receipt of wastewater is excluded from the national reporting logic. For a more detailed description of the
wastewater exclusion, please refer to the section of the Executive Summary entitled "Wastewater Exclusion
Logic Used for National Reporting." The wastewater exclusion will make cursory comparisons between the
1999 National Biennial Report and National Reports prior to 1997 misleading.
Exhibits 3.8, 3.9, and 3.10 present the quantity of RCRA hazardous waste received and the number
of receivers in each EPA Region3. Region 4 reported the most receiving facilities (90), while Region 5
reported receiving the most waste (2.2 million tons, or 33% of the national receipt total). Region 1 reported
receiving the least amount of waste (84 thousand tons), while Region 8 reported the fewest receivers (20).

National Biennial RCRA Hazardous Waste Report: Based on 1999 Data
Exhibits 3.11, 3.12, and 3.13 present the quantity of RCRA hazardous waste received (both from
within and from outside of the State) and the number of receivers in each State. California reported the
most receivers (51), followed by Texas (40), New York (23), Pennsylvania (23), Ohio (20), Missouri (19),
North Carolina (19), Florida (18), Illinois (17), and Indiana (17). Receivers in these States constituted 49%
of the total number of receivers. Ohio reported receiving the largest quantity of waste (726 thousand tons),
followed by Texas (723 thousand tons), Michigan (609 thousand tons), Indiana (561 thousand tons),
California (388 thousand tons), South Carolina (335 thousand tons), and Kansas (308 thousand tons).
Receivers from these States accounted for 56% of the national waste receipt total. Eight (8) States reported
they did not have any TSDs that received hazardous waste in 1999: the District of Columbia, Guam,
Montana, the Navajo Nation, New Hampshire, the Trust Territories, the Virgin Islands, and Wyoming.
Exhibit 3.14 presents the 50 largest RCRA hazardous waste receivers in the nation for 1999. The
TSDs on this list received 68% of all waste received in 1999. Six (6) of the top 50 receivers are located in
Ohio, the top-ranked State in hazardous waste receipts. These 6 TSDs accounted for 83% of the State's
receipt total and 9% of the national receipt total.
As a cursory comparison of the shipment and receipt data reveals, the total quantity of waste
reported shipped in 1999 is 1.6 million tons more than the total quantity received. The Executive Summary
section entitled "RCRA Hazardous Waste Shipments and Receipts" provides possible explanations for the
discrepancies between the amount of waste reported shipped and the amount reported received.
Exclusion ofwastewaterfrom the 1999 National Biennial Report will make cursory comparisons of the 1999 National Biennial Report to National
Biennial Reports prior to 1997 misleading. Refer to Executive Summary (ES-2) for a complete explanation.

National Biennial RCRA Hazardous Waste Report: Based on 1999 Data
4.0 IMPORTS AND EXPORTS
The following section provides an overview of the 1999 RCRA hazardous waste imports and exports
data through exhibits and textual summaries. Only those quantities of waste that enter or leave the State
are included in this category. For a complete description of this section's contents, please refer to the
Executive Summary sections entitled "RCRA Hazardous Waste" and "RCRA Hazardous Waste Shipments
and Receipts."
Of the 6.6 million tons of RCRA hazardous waste received in 1999, 3.7 million tons of waste were
imported from other States. This is a 242 thousand ton or 6% decrease when compared to the 1997
National Biennial Report. Of the 8.1 million tons of RCRA hazardous waste shipped in 1999, 5.7 million tons
of waste were exported to other States. This reflects a 1.3 million ton or 30% increase in exports when
compared to the 1997 National Biennial Report. Beginning with 1997 BR cycle and continuing with the 1999
BR cycle, the import and export of wastewater is excluded from the national reporting logic. For a more
detailed description of the wastewater exclusion, please refer to the section of the Executive Summary
entitled "Wastewater Exclusion Logic Used for National Reporting." The wastewater exclusion will make
cursory comparisons between the 1999 National Biennial Report and National Reports prior to 1997
misleading.
Exhibit 4.1 presents the quantity of RCRA hazardous waste imported and exported by each EPA
Region1. Receivers in Region 5 reported importing the largest quantity of waste (1.2 million tons). Shippers
in Region 4 reported exporting the most waste (1.2 million tons). Receivers in Region 1 reported receiving
the least amount of waste from out-of-State (52 thousand tons), while shippers in Region 8 reported
exporting the least (77 thousand tons) amount of waste to other States.
Exhibit 4.2 presents the quantity of RCRA hazardous waste imported and exported by each State.
The five (5) States whose TSDs reported importing the most hazardous waste were Ohio (421 thousand
tons), Michigan (339 thousand tons), South Carolina (240 thousand tons), Arkansas (225 thousand tons),
and Texas (224 thousand tons). The TSDs in these States imported 39% of the national total of waste
imports. Ten (10) States reported they did not have any TSDs that imported waste in 1999: Alaska, the
District of Columbia, Guam, Montana, the Navajo Nation, New Hampshire, Puerto Rico, the Trust Territories,
the Virgin Islands, and Wyoming.
Appendix A includes a list of States by EPA Region.
Exclusion of wastewater from the 1999 National Biennial Report will make cursory comparisons of the 1999 National Biennial Report to National

The five (5) States whose shippers reported exporting the most hazardous waste were Massachusetts
(627 thousand tons), Georgia (623 thousand tons), New Jersey (449 thousand tons), Ohio (340 thousand
tons), and Michigan (297 thousand tons). The exports from these five (5) States accounted for 41% of the
national total of hazardous waste exports. South Carolina reported they did not have any shippers that
exported waste to other States in 1999.
As a cursory comparison of the import and export data reveals, the total quantity of waste imports in
1999 are 2 million tons less than the total quantity of exports. The Executive Summary section entitled
"RCRA Hazardous Waste Shipments and Receipts" provides possible explanations for the discrepancies
between the amount of waste reported shipped and the amount reported received.
Exclusion ofwastewaterfrom the 1999 National Biennial Report will make cursory comparisons of the 1999 National Biennial Report to National
Biennial Reports prior to 1997 misleading. Refer to Executive Summary (ES-2) for a complete explanation.
