Hazardous waste program forms and license applications

This page provides the forms, instructions, and payment information for facilities regulated under Michigan’s Part 111 (Hazardous Waste Management) or Part 121 (Liquid Industrial By-Products) of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act, 1994 PA 451, as amended, and the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA).

Site identification (EQP5150 Form)

  • Overview

    Certain facilities must submit the Michigan Site Identification Form (EQP5150 – Revised 6/2025) to:

    • Obtain a new Site Identification Number (initial notification)
    • Submit a Part A permit component
    • File a Hazardous Waste Biennial Report
    • Submit subsequent notifications
    • Fulfill the Annual User Fee Charge requirement for some hazardous waste generators

  • When you need a site ID

    Submit the form when:

    • Your facility generates, transports, treats, stores, or disposes of hazardous waste
    • You handle liquid industrial by-products
    • Ownership or legal entity of an existing site changes
    • Your site has never been issued a Site ID

  • Check if your site already exists

    Before completing the form:

    1. Search the EGLE database to see if the site location already exists (even if under a different name).
    2. If no record exists, download and complete the EQP5150 form (Revised June 2025).
      • A $50 fee applies for a new Site ID.

    3. If the site exists under prior ownership, download and complete the EQP5150 form using the existing Site ID number.

      • A $50 fee applies for new ownership of a registered site.

Important: Save the file to your computer before completing it. Do not edit the form in your browser. Open the saved copy using a PDF reader.

If you need help filling out the form, reference the instructions for U.S. EPA Notification of Regulated Waste Activity Form 8700-12.

The EQP5150 form replaces several older EPA forms:

  • EPA Notification of Regulated Waste Activity (Form 8700-12)
  • EPA Hazardous Waste Permit Part A (Form 8700-23)
  • Michigan Notification of Regulated Waste Activity
  • EPA Identification and Certification Form (Form 8700-13A/B)

The EQP5150 form is also used with the Michigan Hazardous Waste Operating License Application (EQP5111).

How to pay the $50 user charge fee

A $50 user charge must be submitted for:

  • New hazardous waste generators, transporters, or treatment/storage/disposal facilities
  • Liquid industrial by-products transporters

  • Option 1 – online payment

    • Pay by credit card (MasterCard, VISA, or Discover) through The Pay Place.
    • Include your payment receipt when submitting your EQP5150 form.

    Submit via email or mail:

    Write “Site ID user charge” on the check to ensure proper credit.

  • When the fee applies

    You must pay the $50 fee when:

    • A new owner or legal entity takes over a site (for example):

      • The business is sold or transferred
      • The entity type changes (e.g., becomes an LLC, LLP, or Inc.)
      • The business owners or principals change

Emergency Site Identification Numbers

An Emergency Site ID is issued when unexpected incidents prevent waste from being safely accumulated onsite (e.g., roadside spills, fire hazards, unstable conditions).

  • Valid only until the immediate threat is resolved
  • Issued conditionally upon $50 user charge payment
  • Site-specific and nontransferable
