5 real sample questions

Under Wisconsin's hazardous waste generator framework (mirroring federal RCRA generator categories), a facility that generates 220 pounds (100 kg) or less of non-acute hazardous waste per month, and accumulates no more than 2,205 pounds (1,000 kg) at any time, is classified as a:

A. Large Quantity Generator (LQG)

B. Small Quantity Generator (SQG)

C. Very Small Quantity Generator (VSQG)

D. Exempt generator with no regulatory category

Source: Wis. Admin. Code NR 662; 40 CFR § 262.13

Wisconsin's hazardous waste management program, administered by the DNR, implements federal RCRA Subtitle C requirements through which Wisconsin Administrative Code chapter series?

A. ATCP 75

B. The NR 600 series (e.g., NR 662 generator standards)

C. Ins 6

D. DSPS 130

Source: Wis. Admin. Code NR 600 series; RCRA Subtitle C

A facility generating between 220 and 2,205 pounds of non-acute hazardous waste per calendar month is classified as which generator category?

A. Very Small Quantity Generator (VSQG)

B. Small Quantity Generator (SQG)

C. Large Quantity Generator (LQG)

D. Conditionally Exempt Generator only, with no other classification available

Source: Wis. Admin. Code NR 662; 40 CFR § 262.13

A facility that generates 2,205 pounds (1,000 kg) or more of non-acute hazardous waste in a calendar month is classified as a:

A. Very Small Quantity Generator (VSQG)

B. Small Quantity Generator (SQG)

C. Large Quantity Generator (LQG)

D. There is no generator category at this generation level

Source: Wis. Admin. Code NR 662; 40 CFR § 262.13

For acute hazardous waste (such as certain P-listed wastes), the quantity threshold that would push a generator above VSQG status is dramatically lower than for non-acute hazardous waste. What is the generally recognized threshold for acute hazardous waste generation that maintains VSQG-eligible status?

A. 2.2 pounds (1 kg) or less per calendar month

B. 220 pounds (100 kg) or less per calendar month, the same as non-acute waste

C. 2,205 pounds (1,000 kg) or less per calendar month

D. There is no separate threshold for acute hazardous waste
