Hazardous Waste Management: e-Manifest Information for New York Hazardous Waste Generators, Transporters, and Receiving Facilities

Note: If you do not manage the hazardous waste manifests for your company, please forward this message to whomever may be responsible for such activities.

On June 30, 2018, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) launched its new electronic manifesting system (e-Manifest). E-Manifest is a national system that will enable the tracking of hazardous waste shipments electronically. The software for this system is being designed, implemented, and maintained by EPA. For more information about the e-Manifest system, see EPA’s e-Manifest webpage.

On July 17, 2018, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) issued an enforcement discretion letter implementing certain provisions of EPA’s e-Manifest rule in New York State. The letter describes how DEC will exercise enforcement discretion with respect to certain less-stringent provisions of EPA’s e-Manifest rule. The letter also discusses the more stringent New York State requirements that will be maintained. The letter can be accessed here: DEC e-Manifest Enforcement Discretion Letter (PDF, 82 KB, 2 pages) or through the DEC e-Manifest webpage.
