What is a Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generator of Hazardous Waste?

Finally, CESQGs include any operation that generates 100 kilograms or less of hazardous waste per month, or 1 kilogram or less per month of acutely hazardous (highly toxic) waste. Unlike SQGs and LQGs, CESQGs cannot accumulate above 1,000 kilograms of waste over any period of time. In addition, CESQGs must always identify all hazardous waste at their facility. Finally, CESQGs must ensure that any hazardous waste sent off-premises is delivered to a third-party company, landfill, or treatment, storage, and disposal facility (TSDF) has the proper permits and licensing authorizing them to handle and dispose of hazardous materials.
