What this exam covers
5 real sample questions
Under RCRA's generator categories, a Very Small Quantity Generator (VSQG) generates hazardous waste at a rate of:
A. 100 kg or less per calendar month (and 1 kg or less of acute hazardous waste)
B. Between 1,000 and 5,000 kg per month
C. More than 1,000 kg per month
D. Any amount, since VSQG has no quantity threshold
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: A. 100 kg or less per calendar month (and 1 kg or less of acute hazardous waste)

Correct. 40 CFR 262.13 defines a VSQG as generating 100 kg or less of hazardous waste per calendar month, and 1 kg or less of acute hazardous waste.

  • B: This range does not correspond to the VSQG threshold.
  • C: More than 1,000 kg/month describes a Large Quantity Generator, not a VSQG.
  • D: VSQG status is specifically defined by a quantity threshold, not unlimited generation.
Source: 40 CFR 262.13 (Generator Category Determination)
A Small Quantity Generator (SQG) generates hazardous waste at a rate of:
A. 100 kg or less per month
B. More than 100 kg but less than 1,000 kg per month
C. 1,000 kg or more per month
D. There is no such category
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: B. More than 100 kg but less than 1,000 kg per month

Correct. 40 CFR 262.13 defines an SQG as generating more than 100 kg but less than 1,000 kg of hazardous waste in a calendar month.

  • A: 100 kg or less per month describes a VSQG, not an SQG.
  • C: 1,000 kg or more per month describes a Large Quantity Generator (LQG).
  • D: SQG is a specifically defined RCRA generator category.
Source: 40 CFR 262.13 (Generator Category Determination)
A Large Quantity Generator (LQG) generates hazardous waste at a rate of:
A. 1,000 kg or more per calendar month (or more than 1 kg/month of acute hazardous waste)
B. Less than 100 kg per month
C. Exactly 500 kg per month only
D. Only generators with over 10,000 employees qualify
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: A. 1,000 kg or more per calendar month (or more than 1 kg/month of acute hazardous waste)

Correct. 40 CFR 262.13 sets the LQG threshold at 1,000 kg or more of hazardous waste per month, or more than 1 kg/month of acute hazardous waste (or more than 100 kg/month of acute spill residue/soil).

  • B: Less than 100 kg per month describes a VSQG.
  • C: There is no such single fixed exact-quantity rule; the threshold is a 'kg or more' floor.
  • D: Generator category is based on waste generation quantity, not company size or employee count.
Source: 40 CFR 262.13 (Generator Category Determination)
A facility's generator category can change from month to month based on:
A. The facility's name change
B. The actual quantity of hazardous waste generated in that calendar month
C. The number of trucks owned by the facility
D. The facility's marketing budget
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: B. The actual quantity of hazardous waste generated in that calendar month

Correct. Because generator status is determined monthly based on 40 CFR 262.13, a facility's category can shift (e.g., between SQG and LQG) depending on that month's actual generation quantity.

  • A: A name change has no bearing on generator category.
  • C: Vehicle count is unrelated to generator category determination.
  • D: Marketing budget is unrelated to generator category determination.
Source: 40 CFR 262.13 (Generator Category Determination)
A Small Quantity Generator (SQG) may generally accumulate hazardous waste on-site without a permit for up to:
A. 90 days in all cases with no possible extension
B. 180 days (or up to 270 days if the waste must be transported more than 200 miles)
C. 30 days only
D. There is no time limit for an SQG
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: B. 180 days (or up to 270 days if the waste must be transported more than 200 miles)

Correct. 40 CFR 262.16 permits SQGs to accumulate hazardous waste for up to 180 days, extended to 270 days when the waste must be transported 200 miles or more to its designated facility.

  • A: 90 days is the LQG limit; SQGs have a longer standard accumulation window.
  • C: 30 days understates the SQG accumulation time limit.
  • D: A specific time limit does apply to SQG on-site accumulation.
