. The changing Illinois environment : critical trends : technical report of the Critical Trends Assessment Project. Man; Pollution; Environmental protection; Ecology; Environmental impact analysis. HAZARDOUS WASTE Number of Hazardous Waste Generators in Illinois Generators of hazardous waste are those companies or entities that produce regulatorily-defined hazardous wastes. Not all Illinois companies are hazardous waste generators. Smaller companies may be considered SQG's. Other firms produce wastes which are not considered hazardous and are thus not subject to RCRA regulations. A generator may manage it's hazardous waste on-site or ship it off-site for commercial management in Illinois or out-of-state. Generator annual reports are submitted only by companies that produce hazardous wastes and then ship them off-site for management. Generators who manage their wastes on-site are considered to be regulated TSDR facilities and must report the types and quantities of hazardous waste managed. During 1990, lEPA received 2329 generator reports of which 1477 were from fully regulated generators. The remaining 852 were submitted by companies which indicated that no hazardous wastes were generated during the year, were classified as SQG's, or were not subject to reporting due to closure or other means. Figure shows the number of fully regulated generators submitting generator reports to lEPA since 1982. EEPA attributes the 1985 increase to regulatory changes which expanded the reporting universe to include generators that shipped solvents to reclamation facilities. In 1990, lEPA reported only 5 generators which manage all of their wastes on-site, down from a high of 111 generators in 1982. While the hazardous waste regulations and reporting system are applicable to over 1000 companies in lUinois, not every Illinois company or manufacturing facility is subject to hazardous waste regulations because of the quantities or types of waste produced.
