What this exam covers
5 real sample questions
A facility generates 1,200 kilograms of hazardous waste per month. Which generator category applies under federal RCRA?
A. Very Small Quantity Generator.
B. Small Quantity Generator.
C. Large Quantity Generator.
D. Exempt generator, no notification required.
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: C. Large Quantity Generator.

Correct. LQG threshold is greater than 1,000 kg per month; 1,200 kg qualifies.

  • A: VSQG threshold is less than 100 kg/month.
  • B: SQG threshold is 100 kg to 1,000 kg per month.
  • D: No generator category is exempt when producing 1,200 kg/month.
Source: 40 CFR 262.41
A facility generates 85 kilograms of hazardous waste per calendar month and produces no acutely hazardous wastes. Under federal RCRA, what generator category applies to this facility?
A. Very Small Quantity Generator (VSQG), subject to conditional exemption from most RCRA requirements.
B. Small Quantity Generator (SQG), required to comply with full manifest and storage requirements.
C. Large Quantity Generator (LQG), subject to the most stringent regulatory standards.
D. Conditionally exempt generator, exempt from all federal hazardous waste regulations.
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: A. Very Small Quantity Generator (VSQG), subject to conditional exemption from most RCRA requirements.

Correct. VSQG threshold is less than 100 kg/month of hazardous waste with no acutely hazardous waste limits; 85 kg qualifies.

  • B: SQG minimum is 100 kg/month. This facility at 85 kg/month does not meet SQG threshold.
  • C: LQG minimum is over 1,000 kg/month. This facility is well below that threshold.
  • D: Conditionally exempt generators produce minimal waste; VSQG is the correct category for this quantity range.
Source: 40 CFR 262.41
A manufacturing facility generates 150 kilograms of non-hazardous waste per month and 2.5 kilograms of acutely hazardous waste per month. What is the applicable federal RCRA generator category?
A. Very Small Quantity Generator (VSQG), because the total waste volume remains below 1,000 kg per month.
B. Small Quantity Generator (SQG), because the quantity of acutely hazardous waste exceeds the VSQG limit of 1 kilogram per month.
C. Large Quantity Generator (LQG), because the combined waste exceeds 100 kg per month.
D. Exempt from generator category requirements because non-hazardous waste is not regulated.
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: B. Small Quantity Generator (SQG), because the quantity of acutely hazardous waste exceeds the VSQG limit of 1 kilogram per month.

Correct. Acutely hazardous waste at 2.5 kg/month exceeds the VSQG limit of 1 kg/month, placing the facility in SQG category.

  • A: VSQG allows up to 1 kg/month of acutely hazardous waste; 2.5 kg exceeds this limit.
  • C: LQG threshold for acutely hazardous waste is greater than 100 kg/month; 2.5 kg does not qualify.
  • D: Hazardous waste (including acutely hazardous) is regulated; non-hazardous waste status does not override hazardous designation.
Source: 40 CFR 262.41
Under federal RCRA, a waste is considered a listed hazardous waste if it appears on one of the EPA's four hazardous waste lists. Which list is designated for wastes from specific industrial processes and operations?
A. The F-list, which identifies hazardous wastes from common industrial operations.
B. The K-list, which identifies hazardous wastes from specific industrial processes and operations.
C. The P-list, which identifies acute hazardous wastes from commercial chemical products.
D. The U-list, which identifies toxic hazardous wastes from commercial chemical products.
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: B. The K-list, which identifies hazardous wastes from specific industrial processes and operations.

Correct. The K-list specifically identifies hazardous wastes from particular industrial processes and operations.

  • A: The F-list covers wastes from common operations across many industries, not specific processes.
  • C: The P-list is for acute hazardous wastes; it is not specific to industrial processes.
  • D: The U-list is for toxic wastes; it is not specific to particular industrial processes.
Source: 40 CFR 261.3
A spent solvent is being evaluated for hazardous waste classification using the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP). Under federal RCRA, what is the primary purpose of the TCLP test?
A. To measure the total concentration of toxic constituents present in the waste material.
B. To simulate leaching conditions to determine if waste would release toxic constituents into groundwater.
C. To analyze the waste composition before incineration at a permitted treatment facility.
D. To establish the appropriate storage container type for long-term waste accumulation.
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: B. To simulate leaching conditions to determine if waste would release toxic constituents into groundwater.

Correct. TCLP simulates landfill leaching conditions to predict potential groundwater contamination.

  • A: TCLP measures leachable constituents, not total concentration of constituents in waste.
  • C: TCLP is a waste classification test, not a pre-treatment analysis step.
  • D: TCLP determines hazard classification; storage container selection is based on waste type and compatibility.
