Generator Fees

The Hazardous Waste Generator Registration Fee is an annual fee and registration requirement for all generators of hazardous waste. Act 15, 10 VSA Section 6608(f) states:
All generators of regulated hazardous waste, shall register with the secretary and pay an annual fee specified in section 2822 of Title 3.

Large Quantity Generator (LQG)

Large quantity generators (LQGs) generate the most waste and are subject to most stringent requirements. LQGs must comply with specific requirements for waste testing and recordkeeping, closure requirements, more stringent storage time limits, and more stringent employee training and contingency planning requirements.

Small Quantity Generator (SQG)

Small quantity generators (SQGs) are subject to more stringent requirements than very small quantity generators (VSQGs), but less stringent than large quantity generators (LQGs). SQGs must also comply with requirements for recordkeeping, waste inventory and inspections, personnel training, emergency preparedness and prevention, and more stringent requirements for on-site waste storage.

Very Small Quantity Generator (VSQG)

Very small quantity generators (VSQGs, formerly known as conditionally exempt generators (CEGs)) produce the least amount of hazardous waste. VSQGs must comply with basic requirements for making waste determinations, notification, hazardous waste management and storage, and ensuring that their hazardous wastes are disposed of appropriately. Many disposal methods are available to VSQGs.
