BOARD NOTE:  At 60 Fed. Reg. 25520-21 (May 11, 1995), USEPA explained that the generator or consolidation point may use Notification of RCRA Subtitle C Activities (Site Identification Form) (USEPA Form 8700-12) for notification.  The generator or consolidation point must notify the Agency, either by submitting USEPA Form 8700-12 or by some other means.  USEPA Form 8700-12 is available from the Agency, Bureau of Land (217-782-6762).  It is also available on-line for download in PDF file format:  www.epa.gov/hwgenerators/instructions-and-form-hazardous-waste-generators-transporters-and-treatment-storage-and.  USEPA further explained that it is not necessary for the handler to aggregate the amounts of waste at multiple non-contiguous sites for the purposes of the 5,000 kilogram determination.
