Section V-1017 - EPA Identification Numbers and Notification of Hazardous Waste Activities for GeneratorsA. All generators (i.e., very small quantity generators, small quantity generators and large quantity generators) shall obtain an active EPA identification number by notifying the Office of Environmental Services using the Notification of Hazardous Waste Activity Form (HW-1) within 14 days after first generating any hazardous waste at the location specified in the notification. The assignment of an active EPA identification number shall serve as proof of this notification to the department by the generator. However, as EPA identification numbers are site-specific, if a generator moves to another location, the generator shall obtain a new EPA identification number for the facility. A generator shall notify the Office of Environmental Services within seven days if any information submitted in the notification of hazardous waste activity changes. As stated in LAC 33:V.105.A.9, failure to submit a timely and complete Notification of Hazardous Waste Activity Form (HW-1), obtain an active EPA identification number or notify the department of changes to the notification shall constitute a violation of these regulations and subject the applicant to enforcement action up to and including the assessment of civil penalties.B. A generator shall not treat, store, dispose of, transport, or offer for transportation hazardous waste without having received an active EPA identification number.C.
