About RCRA Site Identification Numbers
Persons who generate, transport, treat, store or dispose of hazardous waste and who store recyclable materials prior to recycling them must determine if they are required under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) to notify EPA of their hazardous waste activities and obtain an EPA RCRA Site Identification number.
Very small quantity generators and persons whose solid waste has been excluded from regulation or whose hazardous waste has been exempted may not need to notify unless the authorized state requires notification.
A RCRA Site ID number is assigned by EPA to the address of the physical location for each generator, transporter, and treatment, storage or disposal facility and should be used on documents and forms subsequently submitted to EPA and states.
Visit the RCRAInfo website to confirm whether a location has an existing RCRA Site ID number.
RCRAInfo Web is the public version of the RCRA Database and is updated daily.
