Under MDEQ's Hazardous Waste Management Regulations, a generator of more than how many pounds of hazardous waste in any calendar month must report annually by March 1, rather than following the federal biennial reporting cycle?
A. Greater than two hundred twenty (220) pounds in any calendar month
B. Greater than one hundred (100) pounds in any calendar month
C. Greater than one thousand (1,000) pounds in any calendar month
D. Greater than fifty (50) pounds in any calendar month
Show answer and reasoning
Correct answer: A. Greater than two hundred twenty (220) pounds in any calendar month
Correct. Rule 1.4 requires each generator of greater than two hundred twenty (220) pounds of hazardous waste in any calendar month during the previous calendar year to report annually by March 1, superseding the biennial reporting requirement in 40 CFR 262.41 for those generators.
- B: 100 pounds understates the Mississippi-specific threshold that triggers the annual (rather than biennial) reporting obligation under Rule 1.4.
- C: 1,000 pounds overstates the threshold; Rule 1.4 sets the trigger at 220 pounds, not 1,000 pounds.
- D: 50 pounds understates the threshold Rule 1.4 actually uses to require annual reporting.
