This data base comprises files that contain information regarding New Jersey hazardous waste manifest activities and other activities occuring during the calendar year 2001. The data was gathered from the 2001 Hazardous Waste Report Forms (EPA form 8700-13A/B). The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) regulations require all of New Jersey's RCRA large quantity generators (LQG) and permitted hazardous waste treatment, storage and disposal facilities to submit these completed forms once every two years to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection(NJDEP). The NJDEP forwards the data to the USEPA. The NJDEP requires that up to three different forms be completed by each LQG. The forms are the Site Identification Form (SITE ID), The Generation and Management Form (GM) and the Waste Received Form (WR). The data gathered from the fifty states and U.S. territories is used by the United States Environmental Protection Agency to create the National Biennial RCRA Hazardous Waste Report. This national report is a biennial summary of the national data that is made available to the States and public to provide an understanding of hazardous waste generation and management in the United States.The 2001 report forms and the 2001National Biennial Report may be found at http://www.epa.gov/oswfiles/rcrainfo/brc.htm.
