The Permit Application

There are two parts to a RCRA Hazardous Waste Permit Application, which are referred to as "Part A" and "Part B."

Part A

Part A is an EPA-issued form that includes both the RCRA Subtitle C Site Identification Form and the Hazardous Waste Permit Information Form. It also includes maps, drawings, photographs, and other information required by the regulations.

Part B

Part B is not guided by a specific form but instead is submitted in a narrative form. For example, the information provided under Part B may include a general description of the facility, chemical and physical descriptions of the waste to be handled at the facility, and descriptions of processes related to the material handling functions.

Specific Part B information must be included for different types of TSDFs. This is in addition to the general information required for all facilities.
