What is a Small Quantity Generator of Hazardous Waste?

For SQGs, typical hazardous waste generation tends to stay between 100 kilograms and 1,000 kilograms per month. For SQGs, the onsite waste accumulation cannot exceed 6,000 kilograms, though accumulated waste without a permit can be maintained onsite for 180 days or 270 days if shipping of the hazardous waste would require transport over 200 miles. Like LQGs, SQGs must also have at least one employee acting as an emergency coordinator who is available at all times in case of an emergency. SQGs must also provide written contingency plans with detailed response measures available before an emergency transpires.
