e-Manifests:
As of June 30, 2018, all manifests must be submitted, whether paper or electronic, to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) e-Manifest system (this is typically done by the permitted facilities that receive hazardous waste from generators referred to as “treatment, storage or disposal facilities” or TSDF). The e-Manifest system enables electronic tracking of hazardous wastes shipments from generators to TSDFs and will serve as a national reporting hub and database for all hazardous waste manifests and shipment data. Complete transition to electronic manifests will be phased in at a later date. Under this new system, there are several ways to submit manifests to EPA, ranging from mailing conventional paper to full electronic delivery. Receiving facilities will pay a fee that varies based on how manifests are submitted.

There are two ways Generators can verify that a manifest has been submitted to EPA by a TSDF:
- Register for a RCRAInfo Industry User account by going here and following the instructions or
- Using Vermont’s Environmental Research Tool. We recommend that generators check manifests quarterly, starting with the previous quarter (as the current quarter's manifest may not be fully entered).
