US EPA is sunsetting the paper Hazardous Waste Manifest. Do hazmat shippers need to send a paper copy with hazardous waste shipments?
Not quite.
The US DOT Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) still requires a paper copy of the shipping paper to accompany shipments of hazardous materials.
To comply with the HMR, shippers of hazardous waste (e.g., generators) can use the “Print” option available when creating/viewing an e-Manifest in the RCRAInfo Portal. The printed copy should be provided to the carrier/transporter to fulfill the hard-copy shipping paper requirement.
