The Department of Toxic Substances Control’s (DTSC) Form 1358 is used to apply for a new permanent California ID number, reactivate an existing permanent ID number, inactivate an existing permanent ID number or to update information on a California or federal permanent ID number. Do not use this form to apply for a California temporary ID number, a California household hazardous waste ID number or a new federal ID number. Please call

(415)495-8895 or go to http://www.epa.gov/Region9/waste/epanums.html to get information on federal ID numbers.

Information About California ID Numbers

DTSC issues permanent California ID numbers to generators, transporters and disposal facilities for the purpose of tracking hazardous waste. California ID numbers are site-specific and owner- specific. The ID number enables regulators to track the waste from its origin to final disposal (“cradle to grave”). A business must obtain a federal or State ID number before shipping hazardous waste to a recycler or disposal facility. An exception from the ID number requirements is for businesses that generate nothing but small amounts of silver-only waste (such as photo fixer) and are shipping it to a recycler. In addition, most businesses that generate only universal waste will not need an ID number. You may obtain detailed information about ID numbers and legal citations (California Code of Regulations and Health and Safety Code) by going to DTSC’s website at www.dtsc.ca.gov/IDManifest. Information on existing ID numbers is available at www.hwts.dtsc.ca.gov. Click on Reports and then click on the report titled Search for a Company.

Use this form to apply for a California ID number if your business generates no more than 100 kg per month of a federally-regulated waste, or any amount of a California-only (non-federally) regulated hazardous waste. California-only waste is commonly known as non-RCRA waste. Useful conversion: 100 kg is about 220 pounds which is about 27 gallons of liquid.

Temporary ID Numbers

DTSC also issues temporary ID numbers (good for 90 days only) to people or businesses that do not routinely generate hazardous waste. Examples of non-routine activities include asbestos abatement, removing underground tanks, and removing hazardous waste that was abandoned in a leased building. If you need a temporary ID number, go to www.hwts.dtsc.ca.gov and click on the tab at the top of the page labeled GET AN EPA-ID.

Hazardous Waste Transporters

Hazardous waste transporters are defined as any person transporting hazardous wastes by highway, water, rail or air within, into, out of, or through the State of California. With exceptions for a very few cases, including photographic and universal waste, transporters must be registered by DTSC. Health and Safety Code, section 25163(a) makes it unlawful for any person to carry on, or engage in, the transportation of hazardous wastes without a valid transporter registration. Each registered transporter must have a valid permanent California or federal ID number. Transporter information and forms can be obtained at http://www.dtsc.ca.gov/HazardousWaste/Transporters/index.cfm, by email at transporter@dtsc.ca.gov or by calling (916) 440-7145. If you are applying for an ID number as a hazardous waste transporter, you must submit this application with your transporter registration packet.

Generators of Hazardous Waste -- Board of Equalization Information

DTSC notifies the California State Board of Equalization (BOE) when an ID number has been issued. You must apply with the Board of Equalization to obtain a hazardous waste generator fee account number if your business generates or produces five (5) or more tons of hazardous waste per calendar year, regardless of the final disposition of the waste.

Using a hazardous waste hauler or contractor will not relieve you of the liability for the hazardous waste fees that result from the generation, recycling and/or disposal of your hazardous waste. Pursuant to the BOE Hazardous Substances Tax Regulation 3000 (b)

(1)(G); “Generator” does not include an entity such as an environmental clean-up company or an emergency response contractor, when that entity, pursuant to contract, cleans up a release of hazardous waste for another person, unless the entity is identified on a hazardous waste manifest as the generator as described in subdivision (b)(1)(A) of the regulation.

If you qualify as a generator, you must apply with the BOE using eRegistration (eReg), available at http://www.boe.ca.gov/elecsrv/eServices.htm, 24 hours a day. If you have questions regarding registration, please contact BOE’s Taxpayer Information Section for assistance at 1-800-400-7115 toll free or (TTY: 711). Representatives are available to assist with eReg questions Monday through Friday (except State holidays) from 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. PST.
