Form 8700-22 is commonly known as what?

• A. Hazardous waste annual report
• B. Uniform hazardous waste manifest
• C. Generator notification form
• D. Transporter registration form

Answer: (B)

Form 8700-22 is the Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest, the standardized document used to track hazardous waste from generation to disposal. This manifest accompanies each shipment and records essential details at every transfer point—who generated the waste, what waste is being sent (including waste codes and quantities), dates, and who will receive it. Signatures from the generator, transporter, and receiving facility verify that each step of the journey happened, creating a clear cradle-to-grave record for regulatory oversight. The uniform format across states helps ensure consistent tracking, accountability, and compliance with RCRA requirements. The other forms mentioned serve different regulatory purposes: the hazardous waste annual report is a separate reporting obligation for certain generators; the generator notification form is used to notify authorities about a generator’s status; the transporter registration form is for registering waste transporters.
