State & federal waste reports
These reports are arithmetic applied to a year of manifests. The difficulty is never the form; it is that the manifests live in several places, the codes are not consistent between them, and the quantities have to reconcile.
What actually matters
If the manifests are complete and consistent, the summary follows. If they are not, the report becomes a reconstruction exercise. Where KODA moves the material, that record is maintained as the year goes rather than gathered at the end of it.
The same material classified one way at one plant and another way at a second plant produces totals that cannot be compared and a report that invites a question. Catching that is part of the work.
The Annual Waste Summary is a state requirement separate from the federal biennial report, and registered generators file one whether or not they had reportable waste. Filing nothing is not the same as filing a nil return.
It covers odd-numbered years and is due the following March, which means it is easy to lose track of. It applies to large quantity generators and to facilities that treat, store or dispose.
What we need from you
What you get back
Deadline
Texas AWS: 1 March electronically. RCRA Biennial: 1 March of even years
KODA prepares the submission. Your authorized official certifies and files it — that is how the requirement is written, and anyone telling you otherwise is describing it loosely.
Questions
In Texas the Annual Waste Summary is due 1 March when filed electronically through STEERS, and 25 January on paper. The federal RCRA Biennial Report is due 1 March in even-numbered years, covering the odd-numbered year before it. Other states run their own schedules.
In Texas, registered generators file an Annual Waste Summary regardless, indicating that no report is required where that is the case. A missed filing and a nil filing are not treated the same way.
Then you have several schedules and several formats. One structure across the sites is what makes that manageable, and it is the same structure the reporting runs on.
