Cal DTSC Adopts Hazardous Waste e-Manifest Revisions
Changes proposed by California’s Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) to adopt regulatory updates related to electronic hazardous waste manifests have been approved.
The (non-substantive) revisions to Title 22 of the California Code of Regulations (22 CCR) adopt new and modified language from the Federal RCRA regulations that established the e-Manifest system in 2018.
The updates take affect immediately. The approved regulatory text is available on DTSC’s website, as is DTSC’s letter requesting approval and the approval memo from the Office of Administrative Law.

EPA’s E-Manifest System
The e-manifest system, which is administered through EPA’s RCRAInfo web portal, has many benefits. One benefit is that physical copies of manifests to accompany hazardous waste shipments are no longer needed to comply with the hazardous waste regulations.That said, US DOT still requires physical shipping papers for shipments of hazardous materials (including hazardous waste).
