How is a facility classified that generates less than 100 kg of hazardous waste monthly?

A facility that generates less than 100 kg of hazardous waste monthly is classified as a Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generator (CESQG). This classification reflects the facility's lower volume of hazardous waste generation compared to larger categories. CESQGs are subject to fewer regulatory requirements because their waste generation is relatively minimal, which poses less risk to human health and the environment.

Under this classification, facilities must still adhere to certain regulations regarding waste handling, storage, and disposal, but they benefit from reduced oversight and compliance burdens that larger generators face. This allows smaller operations to manage their waste more efficiently while still meeting fundamental safety and environmental standards.

In contrast, other classifications such as Large Quantity Generators (LQG) or Small Quantity Generators (SQG) apply to facilities generating larger amounts of hazardous waste monthly, resulting in stricter regulations and oversight to mitigate the increased potential hazards they present. A Hazardous Waste Exempt Facility might imply that no hazardous waste is generated at all, which does not apply here.
