What this exam covers
5 real sample questions
As of New York's current codified hazardous waste regulations, which generator category terminology does 6 NYCRR Part 371 use?
A. Very Small Quantity Generator (VSQG), matching the federal 2016 rename
B. Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generator (CESQG), the pre-2016 federal term
C. Minimal Quantity Generator (MQG), a New York-only term
D. De Minimis Generator (DMG), a New York-only term
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: B. Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generator (CESQG), the pre-2016 federal term

  • A: New York has not adopted the federal Generator Improvements Rule that renamed CESQG to VSQG, so this term is not what NYSDEC's own counting-rules guidance uses.
  • C: New York has not created a state-only term called Minimal Quantity Generator; it retains the pre-2016 federal CESQG terminology.
  • D: New York has not created a state-only term called De Minimis Generator; it retains the pre-2016 federal CESQG terminology.

Under New York's current CESQG threshold as stated in NYSDEC's hazardous waste counting-rules guidance, a generator qualifies as a CESQG if it generates no more than how much non-acute hazardous waste per month?
A. 1,000 kg
B. 220 kg
C. 6,000 kg
D. 100 kg
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: D. 100 kg

  • A: 1,000 kg per month is the New York LQG threshold, not the CESQG threshold.
  • B: 220 kg is not the figure NYSDEC's guidance states for the CESQG monthly threshold; NYSDEC's guidance is stated in kilograms with 100 kg as the CESQG ceiling.
  • C: 6,000 kg is the New York on-site accumulation limit associated with SQG status, not a monthly generation threshold.

Per NYSDEC's counting-rules guidance, an SQG in New York may accumulate hazardous waste on-site for up to how many days if the waste must be transported more than 200 miles to its destination?
A. 90 days
B. 180 days
C. 270 days
D. 365 days
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: C. 270 days

  • A: 90 days is the standard federal LQG accumulation limit, not New York's extended SQG limit for long-distance shipments.
  • B: 180 days is the standard SQG accumulation limit that applies when the 200-mile extension does not apply.
  • D: 365 days is not an accumulation period recognized in NYSDEC's SQG counting-rules guidance.
Source: NYSDEC Hazardous Waste Counting Rules guidance (dec.ny.gov); 6 NYCRR Part 371
A New York facility generates 0.5 kg of acute hazardous waste and 900 kg of non-acute hazardous waste in one month. Under NYSDEC's counting-rules guidance, why would this facility be classified as an LQG rather than an SQG that month?
A. Because 900 kg alone already exceeds the 1,000 kg LQG non-acute threshold
B. Because generating any acute hazardous waste automatically triggers LQG status regardless of quantity
C. Because it would not be an LQG; 900 kg of non-acute waste keeps it at SQG status under New York's thresholds
D. Because New York requires LQG status whenever both acute and non-acute waste are generated in the same month
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: C. Because it would not be an LQG; 900 kg of non-acute waste keeps it at SQG status under New York's thresholds

  • A: 900 kg is below the 1,000 kg non-acute LQG threshold stated in NYSDEC's guidance, so this reasoning is incorrect.
  • B: NYSDEC's guidance sets the acute hazardous waste LQG trigger at generating more than 1 kg per month; generating any acute waste below that amount does not by itself force LQG status.
  • D: New York's counting rules classify generators by whether either the acute or non-acute threshold is independently exceeded, not by the mere presence of both waste types.

A New York facility recycling precious metals from hazardous waste without landfilling or incineration is regulated, and thus exempt from filing a C7 Notification, under which citation?
A. 6 NYCRR 374-1.6
B. 6 NYCRR 374-1.7
C. 6 NYCRR 374-4
D. 6 NYCRR 374-3
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: A. 6 NYCRR 374-1.6

  • B: 374-1.7 addresses used lead-acid batteries, not precious metals recycling.
  • C: 374-4 addresses dental amalgam, not precious metals recycling.
  • D: 374-3 is the universal waste subpart (batteries, lamps, pesticides, thermostats), not the precious metals recycling provision.
