All RCRA Class 1 (>1000 Kg / Mo) generators and permitted Treater, Storer, or Disposer (TSD) facilities must complete the 2009 Annual Hazardous Waste Report according to LAC 33:V.  Class 2 and Class 3 generators are no longer required to file the Annual Hazardous Waste Report in accordance with LAC 33:V Chapters 1, 9, 11, 15-21, 23-29, and 31-37.

The "2009 ANNUAL HAZARDOUS WASTE REPORT INSTRUCTIONS AND FORMS BOOKLET"    (Coming Soon) provides important information to aid in the completion of the report.  If you choose to report via hard-copy, the "2009 ANNUAL HAZARDOUS WASTE INSTRUCTIONS AND FORMS BOOKLET"    (Coming Soon) contains the forms that are needed to complete your report.

The Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (LDEQ) encourages the use of the electronic reporting software to complete your report.  LDEQ believes the use of the electronic reporting software will make your reporting experience less burdensome and will result in a more accurate report.

Electronic reporters may choose to use either the "2009 WASTE REPORTER SOFTWARE" or "BRSTATE SOFTWARE" to submit the 2009 Annual Hazardous Waste Report.  The "2009 WASTE REPORTER SOFTWARE" is offered free of charge by a waste management vendor for use in completing the Annual Hazardous Waste Report.  The "BRSTATE SOFTWARE" was developed by the State of Florida and is offered as public domain freeware.  The most current version of the software must be downloaded for completion of the 2009 Annual Hazardous Waste Report.

The electronic reporting software should be installed on a PC running WIN95/98/Me/2000/NT/XP in order to electronically report hazardous waste management for 2009.  After installation, please consult the online instructions for help and details on how to use the program.

"CLICK HERE" (Coming Soon) to download and install the "2009 WASTE REPORTER SOFTWARE" .  A link will take you to the LDEQ vendor website for the "2009 WASTE REPORTER SOFTWARE" and online instructions will be provided to guide you through the download.  Included separately from the "2009 WASTE REPORTER SOFTWARE" is the "END-USER LICENSE AGREEMENT" (EULA) document that should be read prior to installation and use of the software.

Workshops provide an excellent opportunity for representatives from LDEQ to address any questions or concerns that you may have regarding completion of the Annual Hazardous Waste Reports.  Topics discussed at the workshop will include changes to the 2009 report, reporting forms, and use of the electronic reporting software.  The "WORKSHOP SCHEDULE" lists the dates and times that the workshops will be held.

The 2009 Annual Hazardous Waste Report must be received by LDEQ on or before March 1, 2010 in order to meet the regulatory reporting deadline.

Please remember that the report encompasses all of your hazardous waste activity for 2009.  Do not exclude any 2009 hazardous waste activities by submitting your report early.  Your report should not be submitted until after January 1, 2010.  The 2009 reporting year is a state and a federal reporting year.  Reports should be submitted to Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (LDEQ) where the information will be collected and compiled then sent to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
