RCRAInfo Industry Application

Using the RCRAInfo Industry Application

Introduction

The RCRAInfo Industry Application is the mechanism by which a site that generates and/or manages hazardous waste may submit information electronically to the appropriate regulatory agency.  The application contains the following modules:   

• myRCRAid – Site Identification (EPA Form 8700-12)
• Biennial Report - Hazardous Waste Report (EPA Form 8700-13 A/B)
• e-Manifest - Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest (EPA Form 8700-22) 

The myRCRAid module is available now in Nevada to receive new and subsequent electronic notifications, as well as to submit the Biennial Report.  The e-Manifest module was deployed on June 30, 2018.  

To become a user of the RCRAInfo Industry Application, you must obtain an RCRAInfo Industry Application account.  There is no charge to obtain an account.

Electronic Signature Agreement Required for Site Managers and Certifiers

If you requested to be a Certifier or Site Manager for your site, then identity proofing is required before you may certify and submit documents within any module of the RCRAInfo Industry Application (i.e. use myRCRAid).  Users must complete the Electronic Signature Agreement (ESA) one time, even if they are representing hazardous waste sites in different states. 

The agreement will be presented the first time that you log into the industry application AFTER the NDEP approves your status as Certifier or Site Manager.  Identity proofing is accomplished electronically or by paper as follows:

• Electronic Signature Agreement
  The user enters their information (name, address, SSN, etc.), which goes to Lexis Nexis (a third-party identity verification service), electronically and agrees to the Electronic Signature Agreement (ESA) terms and conditions.  Thereafter, the user answers five (5) questions.  These answers will be required later when signing documents electronically – please take note of them.  Once the identity proofing is completed online, the ESA is recorded and the user can proceed to use myRCRAid.
   
• Paper Electronic Signature Agreement (with wet ink signature) mailed to:
       Nevada Division of Environmental Protection
       Bureau of Sustainable Materials Management
       Attn: Notification Staff
       901 S. Stewart St., Suite 4001
       Carson City, NV 78970

Once your signature is verified electronically through RCRAInfo or by submitting a paper form, you may certify and submit data online through the RCRAInfo Industry Application.
