New eManifest Is Right Around the Corner

​  Beginning July 1, 2018, all hazardous waste shipments from
  small and large quantity hazardous waste generators, and all
  shipments of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) waste, requiring a
 uniform manifest, must be submitted to the U.S. EPA for
 tracking in the online e-Manifest system. 
 
The receiving TSDF is responsible for submitting the e-Manifest information it receives to the U.S. EPA.  It is also responsible for paying any e-Manifest processing fees due to the U.S. EPA following deployment.  To ensure a smooth transition, generators are encouraged to review e-Manifest resources shared with them by their TSDF and to review resources on the MDEQ and USEPA websites.
 
Highlights for Generators

• The e-Manifest launches nationwide on June 30, 2018. 
• Generators will have the option to create and submit manifests electronically in e-Manifest.
• If generators would like to submit electronically, they must register for e-Manifest within the USEPA CDX online system.
• Generators who wish to use electronic manifests will need an EPA Identification (ID) Number.  
• Generators may continue to use paper manifests after June 30, 2018; however, there is an extra charge for using paper manifests.  
• Existing 6-copy manifest form is being replaced with a new 5-copy form.  
• The system can also be used for shipments of Michigan liquid industrial by-products, but this is optional.

 
The eManifest online system is located in the USEPA CDX online system under RCRA Info and is currently available to explore.  You will need to open a CDX account if you don’t already have one.  There is a Youtube video from USEPA that walks you through a fictitious site and may be helpful.
