Hazardous Waste Transporters
In accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:26-16.3(d), there are two regulatory categories of Hazardous Waste haulers. This distinction is based upon whether or not a hazardous waste transporter is a government entity, a transporter hauling his/her own self-generated waste, or a transporter hauling hazardous waste that has been generated by another person. If a hazardous waste transporter is a government entity or a self-generator of hazardous waste, then the transporter is "Exempt" from filing "Disclosure Statements" which then exempts the transporter from being subject to the "Solid and Hazardous Waste Licensing" requirements and an "Integrity Review". The hazardous waste transporters who meet the criteria of being either a government entity or a self-generator are known as "Self Generator Hazardous Waste haulers". These haulers are "exempt" from filing Disclosure Statements; and therefore, they DO NOT receive a license because they are subject to lower regulatory standards than licensed Hazardous Waste Transporters.
Any Hazardous waste transporter wishing to engage or continue to engage in the collection, transportation, and/or disposal of any hazardous waste generated by another person(s) must file a Disclosure Statement in accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:26G-7.2(a)4 and 7:26-16.3 so that the transporter may obtain a "license" as defined at N.J.A.C. 7:26-16.2. Only those hazardous waste transporters who have filed their Disclosure Statements, met the Hazardous Waste Licensing requirements, and passed an Integrity Review by the New Jersey State Police and Attorney General's Office receive an approved "license" to transport hazardous waste in New Jersey. These haulers have obtained a "license" and therefore are known as "A-901 Licensed Hazardous Waste haulers" because they have been subject to higher regulatory standards than exempt Hazardous Waste Transporters.
