Hazardous Waste & Substance Fees FAQ

You don’t have to associate a facility with your account. When beginning a HWF or HSF submittal you will put your EPA ID # or TRI ID # and this will bring up your facility that matches your ID. This will allow you to fill out the submittal and then the fees can be paid in GEOS.

If Classified as a large quantity generator, but had a small quantity for the year, you can complete an 8700-12 form for EPA and report at the level of generation you have for the year.

If you are reporting online but not paying online you need to make sure that you minimally put the submittal ID from GEOS on the check that you send to EPD. Preferrably you should attach a printed copy of your submittal to your payment when you mail it in.

The GEOS system only allows users to make one submittal per year through GEOS with an EPA ID or TRI #; if a correction is needed then user must contact EPD.
