Hazardous Waste Biennial Reporting Requirements

Once a business has identified all the waste streams, determined whether or not the waste is hazardous, calculated the volume of hazardous waste it generates and determined their generator status, the business must do the following based on their generator status.

Large Quantity Generators (LQG) and Treatment Storage and Disposal(TSD): LQGs and TSD facilities are required to complete and file a Hazardous Waste Report (Biennial Report) every two years regarding the nature, quantities and disposition of hazardous waste generated and managed. The Biennial Report form (EPA form 8700-13A/B) should be submitted to DEQ by March 1st of every even-numbered year along with the Site ID form. This report covers waste that is generated/managed each odd-numbered year.

 Hazardous Waste 2021 Biennial Reporting: This was due to DEQ by March 1, 2022 for hazardous waste generated and managed in the calendar year2021.

 Hazardous Waste 2023 Biennial Reporting: This will be due to DEQ by March 1, 2024 for hazardous waste generated and managed in the calendar year 2023. Check back for updated instructions.

 Ways to Submit the Hazardous Waste Biennial Report

Online 

For the 2021 hazardous waste biennial report, the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) opted to use the Biennial Report application developed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. All Large Quantity Generators (LQGs) and Treatment, Storage, and Disposal Facilities (TSDFs) in Virginia are encouraged to submit their Biennial Report (BR) electronically using this system via RCRAInfo. DEQ no longer accepts BR electronically thru Easitraksoftware.
