The Biennial Report is a mandatory report pursuant to sections 3002 and 3004 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). You are required by Federal statute to complete and file a 2009 Hazardous Waste Report if

* your site is classified as a Large Quantity Generator (LQG) or

* you treated, stored, or disposed of hazardous wastes on-site during 2009.

Furthermore, some states may impose reporting requirements above and beyond the Federal requirements, such as mandating Small Quantity Generators (SQG) to file. The due date for this reporting year is March 1, 2010 for most states.

Reporting is done on a two-year cycle and the information is collected via the Hazardous Waste Report for the required reporting year. Reports describe each generated hazardous waste, the activity by which they generated the wastes, and the quantity. In addition the reports need to include the management method by which each waste was treated, recycled, or disposed and the quantity managed.
