What this exam covers
5 real sample questions
A facility generates 60 kg of hazardous waste in a calendar month. Under Louisiana's adopted RCRA generator categories, this facility is classified as a:
A. Very Small Quantity Generator (VSQG)
B. Small Quantity Generator (SQG)
C. Large Quantity Generator (LQG)
D. Conditionally exempt non-generator
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: A. Very Small Quantity Generator (VSQG)

Correct. Facilities generating 100 kg (220 lbs) or less of hazardous waste per month fall under the VSQG category.

  • B: Incorrect. SQG status applies to generators producing between 100 kg and 1,000 kg per month, above this facility's 60 kg.
  • C: Incorrect. LQG status applies to generators producing more than 1,000 kg per month, far above this facility's output.
  • D: Incorrect. There is no 'non-generator' exemption category; any hazardous waste generation, even in small amounts, is regulated under VSQG standards.
Source: LAC 33:V; 40 CFR 262.13 - Generator Categories
A facility that generates 1,500 kg of hazardous waste in a calendar month is classified as a:
A. VSQG
B. Large Quantity Generator (LQG)
C. SQG
D. Not regulated
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: B. Large Quantity Generator (LQG)

Correct. Generating more than 1,000 kg of hazardous waste per month places a facility in the LQG category, the most heavily regulated tier.

  • A: Incorrect. VSQG status is capped at 100 kg/month, far below this facility's output.
  • C: Incorrect. SQG status tops out at 1,000 kg/month; this facility exceeds that threshold.
  • D: Incorrect. Generating hazardous waste at any quantity triggers RCRA regulation; there is no unregulated tier at this volume.
Source: 40 CFR 262.13; LAC 33:V
A new SQG in Louisiana must notify LDEQ of its hazardous waste activity using:
A. A phone call only, with no written form required
B. IRS Form 8802
C. LDEQ Notification Form HW-1
D. The federal EPA Form 1
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: C. LDEQ Notification Form HW-1

Correct. LDEQ requires generators to notify hazardous waste activity using its Notification Form HW-1.

  • A: Incorrect. A phone call alone does not satisfy the written notification requirement.
  • B: Incorrect. IRS Form 8802 is a federal tax residency form and has nothing to do with hazardous waste notification.
  • D: Incorrect. There is no generic 'EPA Form 1' used for this purpose; Louisiana generators use LDEQ's state-specific HW-1 form.
Source: LDEQ Form HW-1 - Notification of Hazardous Waste Activity
Under 40 CFR 262.17, as adopted by LDEQ, a Large Quantity Generator may accumulate hazardous waste on-site, without a permit, for no more than:
A. 30 days
B. 180 days
C. 270 days
D. 90 days
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: D. 90 days

Correct. LQGs may accumulate hazardous waste on-site without a permit for no more than 90 days, subject to limited extensions.

  • A: Incorrect. 30 days is shorter than the actual LQG accumulation limit.
  • B: Incorrect. 180 days is the SQG accumulation limit, not the LQG limit.
  • C: Incorrect. 270 days is not a standard RCRA accumulation limit.

A Small Quantity Generator (SQG) in Louisiana may accumulate hazardous waste on-site without a permit for no more than:
A. 180 days
B. 30 days
C. 90 days
D. 1 year
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: A. 180 days

Correct. SQGs may accumulate hazardous waste on-site without a permit for up to 180 days, subject to limited extensions.

  • B: Incorrect. 30 days is far shorter than the SQG accumulation limit.
  • C: Incorrect. 90 days is the LQG accumulation limit, not the SQG limit.
  • D: Incorrect. 1 year exceeds the SQG accumulation limit.
