GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR
THE GENERATOR’S HAZARDOUS WASTE
SUMMARY REPORT - DNR HWG-11
INTRODUCTION
1.All registered generators must report to the Department of Natural Resources all hazardous waste shipped off-site either quarterly or annually:
(A)Quarterly - If you are a large quantity generator and ship a reportable quantity regularly or intermittently or;
(B)Annually - If you are a small quantity generator, or are a large quantity generator and you have not shipped a reportable quantity of waste for the entire reporting year, or ship a reportable quantity only once a year.
2.All generators must read and hand-sign the generator certification in Section E. Unsigned reports are considered to be incomplete.
3.Used Oil Generators
Used oil which is to be recycled is not considered to be a hazardous waste. It does not have to be included when completing this report. NOTE-Burning for energy recovery is considered to be a form of recycling.
Used oil which is to be disposed of rather than recycled is considered a hazardous waste. It must be managed as well as disposed of as a hazardous waste. It must be included in this report along with all of your other hazardous waste. When reporting used oil use Hazardous Waste Code D098.
4.Fluorescent Lamp/Bulb Generators
Unbroken fluorescent lamps/bulbs that are sent for recycling are not considered hazardous, and do not have to be reported. Flourescent lamps may be handled as a universal waste. Flourescent lamps handled as a hazardous waste must be reported.
5.Universal Waste Generators
Universal waste is not a hazardous waste and should NOT be reported.
6.Reports are based on state fiscal years which begins July 1 and ends June 30 of each year.
1st quarter begins July 1 and ends September 30 2nd quarter begins October 1 and ends December 31 3rd quarter begins January 1 and ends March 31 4th quarter begins April 1 and ends June 30
7.Reports are due within forty-five (45) days after the end of each respective reporting period.
8.A reportable quantity of hazardous waste is 100 kilograms (220 pounds) of most types of hazardous waste. However, it may be as little as 1 kilogram (2.2 pounds) of acutely toxic wastes. A generator must report quarterly to the department when these quantities are actually produced within any month or accumulated from previous months.
9.Questions concerning the Generator’s Hazardous Waste Summary Report should be directed to the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, Hazardous Waste Program, P.O. Box 176, Jefferson City, MO 65102, or call (573) 751-3176.

Filling out the MO 780 1097 form, officially known as the Generator’s Hazardous Waste Summary Report for the state of Missouri, requires careful attention to detail and accurate information. This document is a critical component of environmental compliance, ensuring that hazardous waste is tracked and managed responsibly. It's designed for both small and large quantity generators of hazardous waste to report their activities to the Missouri Department of Natural Resources. The form is divided into two parts: Part I focuses on basic information and the summary of activities, and Part II delves into detailed information about each hazardous waste shipment.
To complete the MO 780 1097 form correctly, follow the steps outlined below:
Upon completion, it’s imperative to review the form for accuracy and completeness to avoid potential legal and environmental repercussions. Once satisfied with the information provided, the form should be submitted to the Missouri Department of Natural Resources according to the specified deadlines, typically within 45 days after the end of the reporting period. Timely and accurate reporting supports environmental protection efforts and contributes to the responsible management of hazardous materials.
The MO 780-1097 form is used by registered hazardous waste generators in Missouri to report all hazardous wastes shipped off-site. This form is part of the Missouri Department of Natural Resources Hazardous Waste Program and helps track the generation, transportation, and management of hazardous wastes to ensure environmental protection and compliance with regulations.
This form must be completed by all registered hazardous waste generators in Missouri. Depending on your generator status and waste generation activities, you may need to submit this form either quarterly or annually:
Generators must complete the MO 780-1097 form with accurate information regarding their hazardous waste activities and then sign and transmit the form to the Missouri Department of Natural Resources. This can be done either via mail to the provided PO Box or, in some instances, electronically if the platform is available and accepted by the department.
The submission deadlines for the MO 780-1097 form are within 45 days after the end of each reporting period. Missouri's state fiscal year begins on July 1st and ends on June 30th of the following year, making the quarterly reporting periods end on September 30, December 31, March 31, and June 30.
To successfully complete the MO 780-1097 form, you will need the following information:
Yes, there are exceptions and special considerations for certain types of waste:
When filling out the MO 780-1097 form, a few common errors can lead to delays or complications in processing the form by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources. Below are some of these mistakes:
Entering the site street address as a P.O. Box: Since precise location information is crucial for hazardous waste tracking, entering a P.O. Box instead of the physical address can cause inaccuracies in the waste's traceability.
Not updating the contact information: It's essential to provide the current name and telephone number of the contact person to ensure effective communication. Failure to update these details can lead to miscommunication or unprocessed forms.
Misidentifying the reporting period: Choosing both annual and quarterly reporting periods or incorrectly identifying the applicable period can result in processing errors or even fines for non-compliance.
Omitting the generator’s name change: If the generator's name has changed but the form reflects outdated information, it might lead to legal and tracking issues regarding the responsible party.
Incorrectly reporting the number of shipments: Either overreporting or underreporting the number of shipments made during the reporting period can affect waste management records and compliance status.
Failing to sign the certification statement: An unsigned certification statement is a critical error since it means the report could be considered incomplete, potentially resulting in legal consequences.
Not including all necessary pages: If the report spans multiple pages and all are not included upon submission, critical information could be missing, hindering accurate hazardous waste tracking.
Leaving the reporting quarter and year blank: Not specifying the reporting quarter and year can lead to the report being misplaced temporally, causing confusion and possibly affecting compliance.
Beyond these common mistakes, it's vital to:
Ensure that all required sections are completed based on the current status and information.
Review the form thoroughly before submission to avoid typographical errors.
Attach any additional documentation that may be necessary to support the information provided in the report.
Adhering to these guidelines will help ensure that the report is processed efficiently and accurately, maintaining compliance with the Missouri Department of Natural Resources' regulations.
The MO 780 1097 form, used by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, is a comprehensive document designed to track and report hazardous waste generation and shipment. This form, vital for environmental compliance, is often filed alongside several other forms and documents that support and expand on the details provided within. These associated documents cover a range of purposes, from identifying waste types to certifying safe transport.
These documents serve as critical components of the environmental safety and compliance puzzle, working in conjunction with the MO 780 1097 form to ensure the responsible handling of hazardous waste. Together, they provide a robust framework for managing hazardous materials, safeguarding human health, and protecting the environment from potential harm.
The MO 780 1097 form, required by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, closely resembles other environmental compliance documents such as the Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest and the EPA's Biennial Hazardous Waste Report. Each of these forms serves a crucial role in the management and tracking of hazardous wastes, ensuring responsible disposal and adherence to regulatory standards.
The Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest is a tracking form that parallels the MO 780 1097 in purpose and content. It is used nationwide by generators, transporters, and facilities that treat, store, or dispose of hazardous wastes. Similar to the MO 780 1097, the manifest requires detailed information about the waste, including its quantity, composition, and the parties involved in its shipping and handling. Both forms are instrumental in ensuring that hazardous waste is managed in a way that protects public health and the environment. The manifest, however, is used for each individual shipment, while the MO 780 1097 serves as a summary report, possibly consolidating multiple shipments.
The EPA's Biennial Hazardous Waste Report, another similar document, is required from large quantity generators and facilities that treat, store, or dispose of hazardous waste. Like the MO 780 1097, this report collects comprehensive data on the generation, management, and final disposition of hazardous wastes. The primary similarity between these documents lies in their shared goal of inventorying hazardous waste generation and movement. However, the Biennial Report provides a nationwide snapshot every two years, offering insights into broader trends in hazardous waste management, while the MO 780 1097 form is an annual or quarterly state-specific requirement.
When preparing to fill out the Missouri Department of Natural Resources' MO 780-1097 form for your hazardous waste summary report, attention to detail is key. To ensure accuracy and compliance, here are several dos and don'ts you should follow:
Focusing on these guidelines will help streamline the reporting process, ensuring it's done accurately and in compliance with Missouri Department of Natural Resources requirements. Remember, the goal is to provide a true, accurate, and complete report of your hazardous waste activities.
Understanding the Mo 780 1097 form can be confusing due to a number of common misconceptions. Let's clarify these to ensure accurate and compliant submissions:
Misconception 1: The form is only for large quantity generators of hazardous waste. Truth: Whether you're a large or small quantity generator, if you ship hazardous waste off-site, you need to complete this form either quarterly or annually based on the volume of waste generated.
Misconception 2: Used oil is always considered hazardous waste and must be reported. Truth: Used oil intended for recycling is not classified as hazardous waste and should not be reported on the form; only used oil destined for disposal as waste requires reporting.
Misconception 3: All fluorescent lamps are considered hazardous and must be included. Truth: Unbroken fluorescent lamps sent for recycling are not considered hazardous and do not need to be reported. However, if managed as hazardous waste, they must be reported.
Misconception 4: Universal waste needs to be reported on this form. Truth: Universal waste, by definition, is not considered hazardous waste and should not be included in the Mo 780 1097 form submissions.
Misconception 5: The Mo 780 1097 is a one-page document. Truth: This form can extend to multiple pages depending on the number of hazardous waste shipments and details needed for each off-site facility used.
Misconception 6: Electronic signatures are acceptable for the certification statement. Truth: The form requires a hand-signed certification to verify that all provided information is true, accurate, and complete under penalty of law.
Misconception 7: A reportable quantity is always 100 kilograms. Truth: While 100 kilograms is the threshold for many types of hazardous waste, as little as 1 kilogram of acutely toxic wastes is considered a reportable quantity.
Misconception 8: The form is only necessary if hazardous waste is shipped off-site every quarter. Truth: Generators must submit the form annually if they are small quantity generators or if they did not ship a reportable quantity of waste during the year. Large quantity generators submit reports quarterly.
Misconception 9: Any change in generator information doesn't need to be updated immediately. Truth: It's crucial to update any change in generator name, contact information, or address as soon as possible, and specifically when submitting the next report.
By addressing these misconceptions, generators of hazardous waste can better understand their reporting responsibilities and ensure compliance with the Missouri Department of Natural Resources' requirements.
Filling out the Missouri Department of Natural Resources Hazardous Waste Program's MO 780 1097 form, also known as the Generator's Hazardous Waste Summary Report, is an essential process for entities managing hazardous waste within Missouri. This guide aims to simplify the understanding and completion of this report by outlining key takeaways.
Thorough understanding and diligent completion of the MO 780 1097 form are critical aspects of regulatory compliance for hazardous waste generators in Missouri. By keeping these key takeaways in mind, generators can ensure they accurately reflect their hazardous waste activities and remain in good standing with state environmental guidelines.
