What this exam covers
5 real sample questions
A manufacturing facility generates 150 kilograms of spent solvent contaminated with lead per month. Based on federal RCRA standards, how should this facility classify itself for generator status?
A. Large quantity generator (LQG)
B. Conditionally exempt small quantity generator (CESQG)
C. Very small quantity generator (VSQG)
D. Small quantity generator (SQG)
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: D. Small quantity generator (SQG)

SQGs generate between 100 and 1,000 kg/month of hazardous waste; this facility falls in this range.

  • A: LQGs generate 1,000 kg or more of hazardous waste per month; 150 kg/month does not reach this level.
  • B: CEQGs must generate less than 100 kg/month of hazardous waste, and 150 kg/month exceeds this threshold.
  • C: VSQGs generate less than 1,000 kg/month but the facility exceeds the CESQG threshold without meeting LQG criteria.
Source: 40 CFR 262.12
A very small quantity generator (VSQG) of hazardous waste must accumulate hazardous waste for no longer than what time period before it must be removed from the site?
A. 90 days
B. 180 days
C. 30 days
D. 60 days
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: A. 90 days

VSQGs may accumulate hazardous waste onsite for up to 180 days before removal per 40 CFR 262.14.

  • B: This exceeds standard federal accumulation periods; generators must comply with specific time limits.
  • C: 30 days is the limit for satellite accumulation areas under certain conditions, not the overall VSQG limit.
  • D: 60 days is the standard for SQG accumulation areas at the point of generation.
Source: 40 CFR 262.41
Under federal RCRA regulations, a generator must use an EPA hazardous waste manifest when transporting hazardous waste to which of the following facilities?
A. To hazardous waste treatment, storage, or disposal facilities (TSDFs)
B. Only when the facility is located out of state
C. Only to hazardous waste treatment and disposal facilities
D. Only to hazardous waste storage facilities
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: A. To hazardous waste treatment, storage, or disposal facilities (TSDFs)

40 CFR 262.20 requires manifests for all offsite shipments of hazardous waste to TSDFs regardless of state jurisdiction.

  • B: Manifests are required for both in-state and out-of-state TSDF shipments.
  • C: Manifests are required for all TSDF shipments, not limited to treatment and disposal only.
  • D: Manifests are required when shipping to any permitted TSDF, including storage-only facilities.
Source: 40 CFR 262.20
A waste is identified as a hazardous waste if it meets any of the following criteria EXCEPT:
A. It was generated by a facility that is registered as an SQG or LQG
B. It is listed in 40 CFR Part 261
C. It exhibits one of the four hazardous characteristics (ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity, or toxicity)
D. It is derived from a hazardous waste listed in 40 CFR Part 261
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: A. It was generated by a facility that is registered as an SQG or LQG

Generator classification does not determine hazardous waste status; waste properties do.

  • B: Listed wastes per 40 CFR Part 261 Subparts D and E are classified as hazardous.
  • C: Characteristic hazardous wastes are identified by the four hazard characteristics defined in 40 CFR 261.20-261.24.
  • D: Derived-from rule wastes retain hazardous status; they remain hazardous until delisted.
Source: 40 CFR 261.3
An SQG must label each container or tank holding hazardous waste with which of the following information?
A. The words HAZARDOUS WASTE and the date accumulation began
B. The generator's name, EPA ID number, and the hazard class
C. Only the date the waste was generated
D. Only the chemical name of the waste
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: A. The words HAZARDOUS WASTE and the date accumulation began

40 CFR 262.34 requires containers be labeled with HAZARDOUS WASTE and the accumulation start date.

  • B: While some information may be helpful, the specific requirements per 40 CFR do not mandate all these elements on each container.
  • C: Date of generation alone is insufficient; the accumulation start date is required.
  • D: Chemical name alone does not meet federal labeling requirements.
