As required by the Hazardous Waste Electronic Manifest Act (October 2012), EPA established a national system for tracking hazardous waste shipments electronically. In January 2018, EPA published its final methodology for setting user fees based on the costs of processing hazardous waste manifests. EPA launched e-Manifest on June 30, 2018.
EPA intends to eliminate paper manifesting within five years, so RCRA manifesting will inevitably become digital. The most obvious reason to adopt e-manifesting early is financial—there is a substantial difference in fees that must be paid by the receiving facility. Specifically, under the program e-Manifests will incur a $4 manifest fee, whereas mailed-in hard copy manifests incur a $20 manifest fee.
To be clear, only the receiving facility is assessed the fee; however, it can be reasonably assumed that the fees will be passed through to customers.
Electronically create and sign manifests in the system;
View manifest records in the system;
Submit post-receipt data corrections to manifests, regardless of the type of manifest (i.e., paper versus electronics).
Assuming you have an EPA ID number already, you’ll need to register to become a user of the e-Manifest module in the RCRA Info System. EPA recommends that at least two site managers are assigned to each EPA ID number. You can register here.
