Bill Hazardous waste: small quantity generator. Under existing law, as part of the hazardous waste control laws, the Department of Toxic Substances Control generally regulates the management and handling of hazardous waste and hazardous materials. Existing law designates certain generators of hazardous waste in specified amounts as a "conditionally exempt small quantity generator," also known as "CESQG" for certain regulations.

That federal regulation also exempts specified amounts of acute hazardous wastes and residues from clean up of acute hazardous waste, as specified. Existing law defines the term "storage facility" for purposes of the hazardous waste control laws as including an onsite facility where a hazardous waste is held for more than 90 days and excludes from this definition certain generators of less than 1,000 kilograms of hazardous waste in a calendar month, subject to specified conditions, including compliance with specified federal waste accumulation regulations.
