Fact Sheet: Utah Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest Information
Background
The Hazardous Waste Manifest provides the mechanism for “cradle-to-grave” tracking of hazardous waste. All hazardous waste shipments must be accompanied by the manifest, unless they meet the exception listed in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) – 40 CFR 262.20(f). The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest (EPA Forms 8700-22 and 8700-22A) must be used by hazardous waste generators, hazardous waste transporters, and hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facilities in Utah as well as the rest of the country.
EPA revised the Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest to achieve consistency and uniformity throughout the country. Therefore, states will no longer have a manifest unique to their individual state, but everyone will use the same uniform manifest. A final rule promulgated by EPA establishing the new manifest form was published in the Federal Register on March 4, 2005 (70FR10775). The new manifest forms will be available only through a source that is registered with EPA as an approved printer and distributor of manifests. Handlers of hazardous waste will need to obtain the new manifest forms from one of the registered sources listed on EPA’s Web site.
When will the new manifest forms be required to be used?
After September 4, 2006, the existing manifest forms will become invalid and only the new manifest forms and associated requirements established under the final rule will be in effect and acceptable for use by hazardous waste handlers. Use of the new manifest forms will be required for hazardous waste shipments beginning September 5, 2006.
Does Utah have specific manifest requirements?
No. Utah does not have any manifest requirements in addition to the federal requirements found in the Appendix to 40 CFR Part 262. However, Utah does have two additional listed hazardous wastes that are not listed by EPA. These two additional wastes relate to chemical nerve agents. Additional information about these wastes is provided in this fact sheet.
More information about the federal requirements can be found on the EPA’s Web page.
Do copies of manifests have to be submitted to Utah DEQ?
Yes, but just for certain permitted facilities. For those facilities the requirement is in their permit and has not been changed based on this new uniform manifest. The Utah Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) does not require a copy of the manifest be submitted to its offices by hazardous waste generators or transporters. Manifest information serves as the basis for hazardous waste handlers that are required to prepare and submit EPA’s Hazardous Waste Biennial Report.
Are there Utah-specific hazardous wastes?
Yes. Utah has listed as hazardous wastes two wastes associated with the management of chemical nerve agents.
What are the waste codes for the Utah-specific hazardous wastes?
The Utah-specific waste codes are as follows:
Waste Code |
Waste Description |

Residues from demilitarization, treatment, and testing of nerve, military, and chemical agents CX, GA, GB, GD, H, HD, HL, HN-1, HN-2, HN-3, HT, L, T, and VX. (R,T,C,H) |
