CaseMark Hazardous Waste Manifest (EPA Form 8700-22)
Drafts a RCRA-compliant Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest establishing chain of custody from generation through final disposal.
Prerequisites
- Generator EPA ID — 40 CFR Part 262 registration; physical site address
- Transporter records — EPA ID, DOT registration, permit status per carrier
- TSDF authorization — facility EPA ID, state permits confirming acceptance of waste type/quantity
- Waste characterization — DOT proper shipping name, EPA waste codes (40 CFR Part 261), quantity, container count/type, hazard class, packing group
- Emergency contact — 24-hour number (CHEMTREC or company line)

| 24-hour emergency contact | Required for transport incidents |
2. Transporter Information (repeat per carrier)

|---|---|
| Facility legal name | As permitted |
| EPA ID number | Current registration |
| State permit numbers | DTSC or equivalent state authority |

| Quantity | Weight AND volume |
| Container type and count | DOT-approved specs |

5. Certifications
- Emergency number: CHEMTREC (1-800-424-9300) or company line
- Generator certification (verbatim per 40 CFR 262.23):
I hereby declare that the contents of this consignment are fully and
accurately described above by the proper shipping name, and are classified,
packed, marked and labeled/placarded, and are in all respects in proper
condition for transport according to applicable international and national
governmental regulations. If export shipment and I am the Primary Exporter,
I certify that the contents of this consignment conform to the terms of the
attached EPA Acknowledgment of Consent.
- Include waste minimization certification: volume/toxicity reduction program in place, disposal method minimizes health/environmental threats
6. Signatures & Discrepancy Reporting
Signature chain: generator representative → each transporter → receiving facility operator (each with date)
Discrepancy fields per 40 CFR 264.72 / 265.72:
- Quantity variation (significant vs. non-significant)
- Container damage or count mismatch
- Waste type or description discrepancy
- Unacceptable waste notation
- Facility irregularity documentation
7. Copy Distribution
- Generator retained copy
- One copy per transporter
- Designated facility (TSDF)
- Return copy to generator as delivery/disposal proof
Guidelines
- Final document must conform to EPA Uniform Manifest format (40 CFR Part 262, Subpart B)
- State overlays: CA, NY, and others require state-specific forms or additional fields — check state environmental agency requirements
- Multi-transporter: each carrier needs a separate signed acknowledgment block; verify current EPA and DOT credentials
- LDR: confirm TSDF is authorized for applicable land disposal restriction treatment standards
- Discrepancy threshold: significant quantity discrepancies trigger EPA regional office notification — flag for attorney review
- Retention: generator must retain copies minimum 3 years per 40 CFR 262.40 [VERIFY against recent RCRA amendments]
