check the TCEQ Central Registry search, or you can find it on your notice of registration.
The SWR number is site specific. If the company moves to a new site location, the company should submit
a new notification form to obtain a new SWR number for the new site. Do not use numbers assigned to
another site address.
When this form is filled out via computer, the SWR number will automatically populate on the other pages

the regulated activity is occurring with the exception of transporters. Transporters should provide the location
of their office and/or truck lot in the site information.

1. EPA ID
Indicate the 12-character Environmental Protection Agency Identification (EPA ID) number for the site, if
applicable.
For new notifications, leave the EPA ID number blank unless the site has an existing EPA ID. If the site has
hazardous waste activities, TCEQ will assign the site an EPA ID as needed.
The EPA ID is site specific. If the company moves to a new site location, the company should submit a new
notification form to obtain a new EPA ID for the new site. Do not use numbers assigned to another site
address.
If the company is a transporter located in another state and shipping waste into Texas, enter the EPA ID
Number assigned in the site’s home state.

2. Regulated Entity Number

transporter) already has one. Leave this item blank if the site does not have a RN.

3. Site name
Enter the name the site will be known as/by, such as a DBA. Be sure to use a fully descriptive name. (e.g. ABC
Company Warehouse 4, not Warehouse 4.) If a site does not have an existing RN, the Registration and
Reporting section will use the site name as the regulated entity name.
When this form is filled out via computer, the site name will automatically populate to the other pages of the
form.
In accordance with the TCEQ Central Registry Naming Standards, a site name should not contain INC, CO, LP,
etc. in the name unless it is an integral part of the site name. This standard also applies to all the following

Part D: Waste Activities (for the site being registered)
48.

Registration Type

This question pertains to your waste activities. Check all the categories that apply.
•
•
•

Generator: The site generates hazardous or industrial Class 1 waste in the amounts indicated in questions
50 & 51.
Transporter: The company/individual registering transports hazardous or industrial Class 1 waste.
Transfer Facility: The site stores hazardous waste for 10 days or less as part of the normal course of
transporting waste to a disposal facility.

49.

Generator Type

Indicate if the site is an industrial or non-industrial facility. For assistance in determining whether your facility
is industrial or non-industrial, see Appendix F. If the site is non-industrial, go to question #51. If the site is
regulated by the Railroad Commission, contact the Railroad Commission to determine if any registration is
required.

50.

Industrial Class 1 Generator

This question refers to the amount of industrial Class 1 generated at the site in a calendar month. Check the
box that applies to the site’s industrial Class 1 waste generation. If the site generates 220 lbs or more of
industrial Class 1 waste per month, check the box next to “Y”. If the site’s waste generation varies significantly
from month to month, indicate the answer that best describes the majority of the months. For new
notifications, submit at least one industrial Class 1 waste stream in Part F if #50 has “Y” marked.

51.

Hazardous Waste Activities

This question refers to the amount of hazardous waste generated at the site in a calendar month. Check the
box that applies to the site’s hazardous waste generation. If the site generates 2,200 lbs or more of hazardous
waste, or 2.2 lbs or more of acute hazardous waste, per month, indicate the box next to “Large Quantity
Generator”. If a site generates 220 lbs or more of hazardous waste, but less than 2200 lbs, per month, indicate
the box next to “Small Quantity Generator”. If the site’s waste generation varies significantly from month to
month, choose the category that best describes the majority of the months. For new notifications, submit at
least one hazardous waste stream in Part F for any marked boxes in #51.
Non-industrial Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generators do not need to obtain a solid waste
registration or permanent EPA ID. Industrial Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generators who indicate “N”
in question #50 also do not need to obtain a solid waste registration or permanent EPA ID. To obtain waste
codes and a temporary EPA ID for one-time events or other unusual waste generation events, fill out a form
00757 One-Time Shipment Request for Texas Waste Code. Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generators
who require an EPA ID may fill out form 8700-12 RCRA Subtitle C Site Identification.

Universal Waste
Check all that apply.

52.

Large Quantity Handler of Universal Waste

Per 40 CFR 273, a Large Quantity Handler of Universal Waste accumulates 5,000 KG or more of universal waste
at any one time. Indicate all universal waste types managed at the site.

53.

Destination Facility

A destination facility for universal waste is a facility that treats, disposes of, or recycles a particular category
of universal waste. A facility that only accumulates universal waste is not a destination facility. Destination
facilities require a permit. For questions about permitted activities, contact IHW Permits at 512-239-2335.

Transporter Activities
If #48 has “Transporter” marked, answer questions #54-56. Organizations and individuals must have or obtain
an EPA identification number in order to transport hazardous waste. These questions pertain to hazardous
TCEQ Form #00002 instructions (Rev. 04/2017)

Page 10 of 33

and/or industrial Class 1 waste only. To register as a transporter of municipal sludge, medical waste, or used
oil, call the IHW/MSW Registration Team at (512) 239-6413.

54.

Waste Types Transported

Check all the categories that apply.

55.

Transport for Hire

Do you transport the wastes listed above for hire? Indicate either “Y” or “N”

56.

Transport Own Waste

Are any of the transported wastes generated at your facility? If so, indicate “Y”. Include waste from sites
owned by the same legal entity, even if they are a different location than the site registering.

57.

Additional Waste Activities

Indicate if the site is a Receiver or Recycler of waste. Recyclers of off-site waste should also submit form
00524 Notification Form for Receiving and Recycling Hazardous or Industrial Waste. If your facility is not a
receiver or recycler, go to #59. For questions about recycling activities, contact IHW Permits at 512-239-2335.

58.

Receiver Facility Category

Question #58 refers to facilities that accept or manage industrial waste from off-site sources. According to
Title 30 Texas Administrative Code (TAC) Section §335.2, this practice might require a permit. If your facility
does not fit the definition of a “Receiver,” go to the next applicable part. If the site has registered as a
generator, go to Part E. If the site has registered as a transporter, go to Part G.
Check one box that best describes the way in which your facility receives industrial waste. See Appendix A,
Definitions, for an explanation of the terms “commercial,” “captive,” and “captured.” For questions about
permitted activities, contact IHW Permits at 512-239-2335.
Facilities that only transport waste can go to Part G, Certification.

TCEQ Form #00002 instructions (Rev. 04/2017)

Page 11 of 33

Part E: Waste Management Units (located at the site being registered)
This part identifies any unit where waste is stored, treated, or disposed. Most sites have at least one Waste
Management Unit (WMU) to store waste within their accumulation time limits prior to disposal.
For new notifications:
•

Submit one Part E for each WMU at the site.

•

As a reminder, LQGs must have a STEERS account for notifications and reporting. If the site is a LQG,
submit only one WMU for the on-site unit that stores/manages the hazardous waste registered in Part
F. Register the remaining WMUs via STEERS after receiving confirmation of the registration and setting
up your STEERS account.

For updates, submit one Part E for each WMU. If your site has a STEERS account, add or update the WMU via
STEERS instead of submitting paperwork.

59.

Unit Sequence Number

Assign a unique 3 digit unit sequence number to identify the WMU on your Notice of Registration (NOR). The
sequence number can range from 001 to 999 (no letters). Never assign the same sequence number to two
waste management units. Facilities can use any number not previously used within the range of 001 to 999,
and the numbers do not have to be sequential. Many facilities find sequential numbering makes it easier to
track the sequence numbers used, and most start with 001. The sequence number remains tied to the unit
until the unit is closed. If a waste management unit becomes inactive, do not re-assign its sequence number to
another unit.

60.

Unit Type Code

Select the correct Unit Type Code from the list provided in Appendix B.

61.

Unit Description

List any information that helps identify this WMU—for example, the type of WMU, its purpose, and its physical
location.
Example: Hazardous waste less than 90 day storage tank south of building A.

62.

Unit Regulatory Status

Select the correct Unit Regulatory Status by placing a check in the appropriate box to the left of the
description. Refer to 40 CFR Section 260.10 and 30 TAC Sections §335.2 and §335.24 for an explanation of

If #50 has “Y” marked, submit at least one Industrial Class 1 waste stream.

•

If #51 has any box marked, submit at least one hazardous waste stream. Submit at least one hazardous
waste stream in order to obtain an EPA ID.

For updates, submit one Part F for each waste stream. If your site has a STEERS account, add or update the
waste stream via STEERS instead of submitting paperwork.
If this waste is recycled, you may need to submit TCEQ form 00525 “Generator Notification Form for Recycling
Hazardous or Industrial Waste”.
The Texas Waste Code consists of 8 digits, for example:
Sequence Number + Form Code + Classification = Texas Waste Code
0001
+
201
+
H
=
0001201H

68.

Sequence Number

Assign a unique four digit waste sequence number to identify the waste on your NOR. The sequence number
can range from 0001 to 9999 (no letters). Never assign the same sequence number to two wastes. Facilities can
use any number not previously used within the range of 0001 to 9999, and the numbers do not have to be
sequential. Many facilities find sequential numbering makes it easier to track the sequence numbers used, and
most start with 0001. After registering a waste code, the sequence number cannot change.

69.

Texas Form Code

Select the Texas Form Code from Appendix D that best describes this waste stream. The form code is always
three digits. After registering a waste code, the form code cannot change. Refer to RG-022 Classification &
Coding of Industrial & Hazardous Waste to assist with determining the Texas Form Code.

70.

Class Code:

Indicate one Class Code for the waste- H, 1, 2, or 3. Refer to RG-022 Classification & Coding of Industrial &
Hazardous Waste to assist with determining the Class Code.
•
•
•
•

H = hazardous waste per EPA regulations
1 = Class 1 per TCEQ regulations (industrial waste only)
2 = Class 2 per TCEQ regulations (industrial waste only)
3 = Class 3 per TCEQ regulations (industrial waste only). All Class 3 notifications must be accompanied by
classification documentation.
After registering a waste code, the classification code cannot change.

PLANT REFUSE
Note: In order to be considered for one of these two plant refuse designations, a waste must pass both of
these two tests:
1.

The waste must be a Class 2 waste. This means that a proper classification determination must be
performed for each item that a facility is considering as one of the plant refuse designations. A
waste cannot “become” Class 2 solely because it has been designated as a plant refuse waste.
Hazardous and Class 1 wastes are not eligible for designation as one of the plant refuses.

The waste must meet the definition of the selected plant refuse term.

Code

Waste Description

902

Supplemental plant production refuse—Class 2 waste from production, manufacturing, or
laboratory operations. The total amount of the supplemental plant production refuse must not
exceed 20 percent of the annual average of the total plant refuse (form code 999) volume or weight,
whichever is less.

999

Plant trash—Class 2 waste that originates in the facility offices or plant production area, is
composed of paper, cardboard, linings, wrappings, paper and/or wooden packaging materials, food
wastes, cafeteria waste, glass, aluminum foil, aluminum cans, aluminum scrap, stainless steel, steel,
iron scrap, plastics, Styrofoam, rope, twine, uncontaminated rubber, uncontaminated wooden
materials, equipment belts, wiring, uncontaminated cloth, metal bindings, empty containers with a
holding capacity of five gallons or less, uncontaminated floor sweepings, and/or food packaging,
and is produced as a result of plant production, manufacturing, laboratory, general office, cafeteria,
or food services operations. Includes personal cosmetics generated by facility personnel, but not
cosmetics generated as a result of manufacturing or plant production operations.

Appendix F. What Is An Industrial Facility?
Industrial facilities may face additional regulations that do not apply to nonindustrial facilities. Therefore, it is
very important to be able to determine whether or not a facility is industrial or nonindustrial.

INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITY DEFINED
You have an industrial facility if you engage in any of the following activities:
• You make a product for wholesale according to an organized plan and with a division of labor.
• You change materials by processing them. Repackaging by itself is not considered an industrial activity.
or
•

You substantially support either of those activities. Substantially supportive activities include such
activities as transporting products or chemicals to another location so they can become part of a
manufacturing operating (for example, transporting refined petroleum chemicals to be used to produce
plastics). They do not include activities that are not directly supportive, such as transporting vending
machine snacks to a company that manufactures plastics.

If you are involved in any of these industrial activities, all wastes that your facility produces are industrial
waste, including Class 2 office trash and any hazardous waste.

EXAMPLES OF TYPICAL INDUSTRIAL FACILITIES
•

Apparel and accessories
manufacturers

•

Chemical and allied
products manufacturers

EXAMPLES OF TYPICAL NONINDUSTRIAL FACILITIES
(Note: If one or more of the following facilities or activities is located on a site considered industrial, wastes
from the facility or activity are considered industrial wastes. For example, wastes from a printing operating
located on an industrial facility’s site are considered industrial wastes.)
