Which form is used for submitting a TSDF permit application?

• A. EPA 1000
• B. EPA 9000
• C. EPA 8700
• D. EPA 3000

Answer: (C)

In this area, the submission for a TSDF permit follows the standard hazardous waste permitting process under RCRA, which uses the EPA form 8700-series as the permit application. This form (often EPA 8700-12) is the official package that collects all required details about the facility, the types of hazardous waste managed, containment and control measures, and compliance history. Using this uniform form ensures reviewers have the necessary information in a consistent format to evaluate the permit against regulatory requirements. The other form numbers listed are not the designated TSDF permit application form; they’re used for other regulatory actions, not for applying for a TSDF permit.
