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 11 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 12 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
terms.
•01- RCRA permitted
•03- RCRA permit exempt <90 day storage.
This status applies to large quantity
generators storing hazardous waste prior to
disposal.
•04- UIC permit
•05- Non-hazardous regulated. This status
should be used for Class 1, 2, or 3
industrial wastes.
•08- RCRA permit exempt- wastewater
treatment
•09- RCRA permit exempt- totally enclosed
treatment
•10- RCRA permit exempt- other
•11- RCRA permit exempt- recycling unit
•12- Permitted nonhazardous industrial unit
•13- RCRA permit exempt- accumulation
time. This status applies to Small Quantity
Generators and Conditionally Exempt Small
Quantity Generators storing hazardous
waste prior to disposal.
•14- UIC registration
63. System Type Code
The System Type Code (STC), also known as a Management Method Code, describes how the waste is managed
in this WMU. Use the system type code that best applies to the on-site management of the waste in this unit,
not the off-site management of the waste. See Appendix C for a list of STCs.
TCEQ Form #00002 instructions (Rev. 04/2017) Page 13 of 33
64. Texas Waste Codes managed in this WMU
Identify any on-site wastes managed in the unit by the 8-digit Texas Waste Code (TWC) on the lines provided.
List the additional TWCs on a separate page if the WMU manages more than 12 waste codes. Do not list TWCs
generated off-site.
For permitted units only
65. IHW/UIC Permit Number
If the WMU has a RCRA Hazardous Waste or Underground Injection Control (UIC) Permit, enter the permit
number. Changes to permitted units should be sent to IHW Permits, MC 126, PO Box 13087, Austin, TX 78711-
3087.
66. Capacity
If this is a permitted WMU, provide the amount of waste the unit will hold. Select one of the following codes
for the unit of measurement for the capacity.
• A surface acres
•B barrel
•C storage container
•Ddrum
•CF cubic feet
•Ggallon
• K kilogram
• L liter
•MT metric tons
•CM cubic meters
•Ppounds
•Ttons (short)
• U thermal treatment
unit
•CY cubic yards
•DT dry weight ton
•EA each
67. Off-site wastes managed in unit
This question refers to waste generated off-site only. If this WMU does not manage waste from an off-site
source, go to #68. If it does, check all waste classes that apply for the off-site wastes only. Please note that
accepting waste from off-site may require a permit.
TCEQ Form #00002 instructions (Rev. 04/2017) Page 14 of 33
Part F: Waste Streams (generated at the site being registered)
For information on identifying waste streams, read Guidelines for the Classification & Coding of Industrial &
Hazardous Waste, TCEQ publication RG-022.
Do not register used oil, used oil filters, or universal wastes.
For new notifications:
•Submit one Part F for each waste at your site. Do not submit universal waste, used oil, or medical
waste.
•As a reminder, LQGs must have a STEERS account for notifications and reporting. If the site is a LQG,
submit only one hazardous waste stream. Register the remaining waste streams via STEERS once you
have received confirmation of your registration and have set up your STEERS account.
•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

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.

71. Description of waste and generation process:
This description should include:
•what the waste is
•how the waste was generated
•names of chemicals in the waste
Example: Spent solvent from degreasing operation in tool production. Steel blocks are machined to a specific
shape then rinsed with the solvent prior to painting. Waste is a mixture of mineral spirits and metal shavings.
72. Date of Generation
Provide the date this waste was first generated at the physical location for the registration in mm/dd/yyyy
format. The date of generation must be the current date or earlier. We are not able to enter future generation
dates. If you plan to generate a waste in the future, you should wait until after the initial date of generation to
notify TCEQ of the waste stream. Refer to 30 TAC §335.6(c) for time frames for the submission.
73. Origin Code
Check one of the origin codes listed below that best describes the generating process or activity for this waste
stream.
1. was generated on-site from a product or service activity. This is the most commonly applicable
origin code.
2. resulted from a spill clean-up, equipment decommissioning, or emergency removal. For this origin
code at a new or inactive site, request a one-time shipment instead.
3. derived from the on-site management of a non-hazardous waste.
4. was received from off-site and was not recycled or treated on-site.
5. was residual from the on-site treatment, disposal, or recycling of previously existing hazardous
waste. For hazardous waste, indicate source code G25 in #78 and a STC other than H141 in #80.
Generally, only permitted sites will select this origin code.
6. was from a state, federal, or locally funded cleanup.
7. was from a corrective action or closure.
74. Waste is accumulated, treated, or disposed on-site
Check “Y” if the waste is stored, accumulated, treated, or disposed on-site. Most facilities will have “Y”
checked for both #74 and #76. On-site management includes accumulation time storage prior to being sent
off-site for treatment, storage or disposal. If #74 has “Y” checked, provide the three-digit number of the waste
management unit where the waste is treated, stored, or disposed in #75.
If the waste is recycled, submit Form 00525 Generator Notification Form for Recycling Hazardous or Industrial
Waste.
75. WMU sequence numbers
List the 3-digit sequence number of all WMUs where the waste is stored, accumulated, treated, or disposed on-
site. If more than six WMUs store/manage this waste, list the additional WMUs on a separate page. Make sure
that any WMUs listed do not contradict the list of waste streams provided in Part E, #64.
76. Waste is managed/disposed off-site
Check “Y” if the waste is sent off-site for storage, treatment, or disposal. Most facilities will have “Y” checked
for both #74 and #76.
If the waste is recycled, submit Form 00525 Generator Notification Form for Recycling Hazardous or Industrial
Waste.
77. New Chemical Substance
Industrial Class 2 and Class 3 wastes only: Check this box if this is a new chemical substance not currently
listed on the Toxic Substances Control Act Chemical Substance Inventory. Most substances do not qualify as a

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.
2. 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
•Intermediate
product/chemical
storage facilities

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.)

•Household hazardous
waste collection
•Automobile dealers
•Lawn and gardening
services
•Commercial printers
