| The Hazardous Waste Reduction Planning (HWRP) program has been managed by the Pollution Prevention Unit (PPU) since the summer of 2015. Since then, the PPU has increased participation in the program and launched a site visit initiative to provide guidance to facilities on how to reduce hazardous waste generation.
Currently, there are over 200 facilities in New York State that are subject to reporting under the HWRP program. Facilities that generate 25 tons or more per year of certain hazardous wastes, or that hold a Part 373 Treatment, Storage, and Disposal permit are included in the program. These facilities are required to develop, implement, and submit an initial HWRP and follow-up reports and updates in subsequent years.
Learn more about the HWRP and its requirements on the HWRP guidance page on our website.
Below is a map of the facilities that are subject to reporting in 2017. Points on the map represent sites that are subject to the HWRP program only, or sites that are subject to both the HWRP program and EPA’s Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) program. The map also shows where the state’s Potential Environmental Justice areas are.
