Key facts

Facility type	Industrial site receiving off-site waste “Waste management firm” when the primary NAICS code is in waste management and remediation services (562); “industrial site receiving off-site waste” when another industry's site records waste received from off-site in its latest Biennial Report; otherwise an industrial or government site that also holds a TSDF permit. A NAICS code is classification evidence, not proof of whether a facility takes outside business. source, unchanged since Oct 20, 2026

TSDF: A facility permitted under RCRA to treat, store or dispose of hazardous waste.

Significant noncomplier: EPA's designation for facilities with serious or chronic RCRA violations. The regulator sets and lifts it, so it can stay on while an enforcement case or compliance schedule is open, even after the individual violations are marked as returned to compliance.

Biennial Report: The national report every two years of hazardous waste generated, managed, shipped and received; tons received are the latest cycle EPA has published.

Off-site receipt flag: What the facility last declared on its RCRA notification form. Facilities re-notify only when something changes, so the flag can be out of date: a facility flagged “No” can still report tons received from off-site in the Biennial Report, which records what it actually received. Where they disagree, the Biennial Report tons are the better evidence.

Formal enforcement: Legally binding actions (orders, consent agreements, civil or criminal cases), as opposed to informal warning letters.
