Getting a Hazardous Waste (RCRA) ID Number & Notification Forms for AK, ID, OR and WA The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) requires individuals who generate or transport hazardous waste, or who operate a facility for recycling, treating, storing, or disposing (TSD) of hazardous waste, to notify EPA or their authorized State waste management agency of their regulated waste activities and obtain a RCRA Identification (ID) Number. If you are regulated and do not comply with the RCRA notification requirements, you may be subject to civil and criminal penalties. A RCRA ID number is site-specific and permanent; it does not move with the current owner/operator should they relocate. It is used by EPA to track hazardous wastes from the point of generation to the final disposal site, also known as the "cradle-to-grave" cycle. Once a RCRA ID number is assigned to a specific physical location, it belongs solely to that location and will belong to any owners/operators at that location. When a business, located at a site where a RCRA ID number exists, moves to another location (even within the same State or town) the ID number must be deactivated at the former location and a new ID number requested at the new location. A new form is required when relocacting or requesting a new RCRA ID number. If at the new location, a RCRA hazardous waste ID number had previously been issued to the former owner/operator, the number for that physical location will then be assigned to the new requester. If a number had never been issued for that physical location, a new number will be issued to the new requester. To determine if your location already has been assigned a RCRA Hazardous Waste ID number, look in EPA's Envirofacts Warehouse database by the physical location first (be sure to put in the State you want to search within). Questions related to hazardous waste laws and policies can be directed to the National RCRA Hotline at (800) 424-9346.
