Hazardous waste generators in New York must submit annual Tier II reports. Compliance requirements and enforcement are complex and rigid—but organizations that take the time to understand and observe them can ensure adherence, thus avoiding fines and citations while even simultaneously improving operations and safety.
Tier II reports are required of all New York organizations or facilities that store, use, or handle hazardous waste. The New York Department of Environmental Protection (NYDEP) oversees Tier II compliance—which involves disclosing the quantity, location, and characteristics of these substances within their operations.
