The information below is provided to assist you in completing the Site Identification Form using either the myRCRAid Module or the Biennial Report Module of the RCRAInfo Industry Application.
Required data elements are marked with a red asterisk next to the label. At a minimum, data for these items must be provided in order to sign and save your submission. Some data are required based on the value of other data. For example, if you indicate that a site is a Short-term Generator in Item 10.A.2, a text box will be provided for you to enter comments as to why this site is a Short-term Generator. These comments are required. Another example of conditionally-required data includes waste codes which must be provided if certain regulatory activities are selected.
At any time, you may click the "Finish Later" button at the bottom of the page. This will create a draft version of this form. This draft does NOT have to meet the business rules in order to be created. That is, a draft can be created even if data is missing for required fields. The Finish Later feature was created to allow the user to periodically save their work and/or to save information in a draft form while collecting additional information for the submission.
myRCRAid
The created draft is saved under the "In Progress" section on the myRCRAid tab with a status of "Draft". You may edit and/or complete your draft by clicking the "pencil" icon or discard and delete the draft by clicking the "x" icon.
BIENNIAL REPORT
The created draft is saved under the "Site ID Form" section on the Biennial Report page with a status of "Incomplete". You may edit and/or complete your draft by clicking the "pencil" icon. To discard or delete the draft, click the "pencil" icon, then click the "Discard Draft" button at the bottom of the page.
To accommodate sites that do not have a traditional location address (i.e., oil rigs located in Federal waters), a latitude / longitude may be provided in lieu or in addition to the traditional address. If the latitude / longitude is considered the primary address for this site, slide the "Use Lat/Long as Primary Address" indicator to "Yes". If the latitude / longitude is marked as the primary address, you are not required to provide any additional location address information including Street 1, City, State, and/or Zip, however, you can provide any or all of this information as appropriate. Conversely, if the latitude/longitude is not the primary address, you may still provide a latitude and longitude.
Additionally, you may elect to standardize the address by clicking the "Click here to standardize address" link at the bottom of the Location Address panel. You must provide all of the required address fields before clicking this link. A list of standardized address candidates will be presented. Select the value that is appropriate. Note: You can always keep the value that you entered by selecting the last value "Use Address as entered" in the candidate list. After you make your selection, the message "Address standardized by user" will be shown at the bottom of the panel indicating that the address has been standardized. If you revise the address after it has been standardized, the message will be replaced by the "Click here to standardize address" link. To re-mark the address as standardized, you will need to click this link again.
For all addresses (Location, Mailing, Contact, Owner, and Operator), the City and State may be auto-populated by entering the Zip. If the Zip is associated with more than one City, you may select the appropriate City from the drop-down list provided. If the appropriate City is not presented, you may enter it manually.
When entering the Mailing or Contact, you have the option to copy the address from an address already entered by using the "Copy From Address" drop-down list. For example, to copy the Mailing Address into the Contact Address, select "Mailing" from the Contact Address "Copy From Address" drop-down list. You may also delete an existing address by clicking "Copy From Address" and selecting "Clear".
There are several sections of the Site Identification Form that can only be completed if your State has adopted that particular rule. These include:
If these sections indicate that your State does not participate in a particular rule, you will not be allowed to provide that information. Please contact your regulatory authority if you have questions or concerns about the applicability of these rules.
Note: Information associated with Episodic Generation CANNOT be provided on a Site Identification Form as part of a Biennial Report submission.
Eligible sites have the option to notify under 40 CFR 260.42 that they will begin managing, are still managing, or will stop managing hazardous secondary material under 40 CFR 260.30, 40 CFR 261.4(a)(23), (24), or (27) or notify under 40 CFR 260.43(a)(4)(iii) that the product of their recycling process has levels of hazardous constituents that are not comparable to or unable to be compared to a legitimate product or intermediate but that the recycling is still legitimate. However, in order for a site to report this information, the State must first adopt these rules. If your State has not adopted these rules, section 12 will display the message "HSM is not applicable". You will not be allowed to enter any Hazardous Secondary Material (HSM) information for this State until the State indicates that they are participating in these rules (see Opting into Hazardous Secondary Material for more information).
Even if your State is participating in HSM, you have the option to report or not report HSM information for this submission. The Yes/No slide box in section 12 allows you to indicate whether you are reporting HSM activity for this submission. If you leave the indicator at No (the default), no HSM information will be populated for this submission. If you slide the indicator to Yes, the screen will be populated with the most recent HSM data (if HSM data has previously been provided) and you will be allowed to add, change, and/or delete the HSM information as appropriate.
Note: Sites managing hazardous secondary material under this rule MUST submit a Site Identification Form to their regulatory authority by March 1 of each even-numbered year, pursuant to 40 CFR 260.42.
