e-Manifest Workshops Across Four-State Region
Iowa Ag Connection - 05/23/2018

EPA Region 7 will conduct a series of e-Manifest workshops across the four-state region beginning this week to raise awareness and assist the regulated industry in understanding and using this new process. These workshops are in addition to EPA's national outreach, which has included online webinars, system trials and other events.

The national electronic manifest system ("e-Manifest") for tracking hazardous waste shipments will launch June 30. This system will modernize the nation's hazardous waste tracking process while saving valuable time, resources and dollars for industry and states.

Wastes defined as hazardous under federal and state regulations, as well as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) wastes, are required to be shipped using a hazardous waste manifest. Those who use the hazardous waste manifest will be subject to this rule.

EPA estimates that the transition from a paper to an electronic system should reduce the burden on industry and the states by 300,000 to 700,000 hours annually. This represents an estimated savings of up to $90 million each year.

Further benefits of the e-Manifest system are the ability of participants in the hazardous waste management process to track shipments with timely and accurate information. They will use a single hub for reporting all manifest data to EPA and the states. The public will gain the ability to view the manifest data within 90 days of the data entry.
