Hazardous waste generators are required to maintain the following records in accordance with 40 CFR 262.40.

• Completed manifests (a copy with handwritten signature of the owner/operator of the destination facility) for three years from the date the waste was accepted by the initial transporter.     
• Biennial reports and exception reports for three years from the due date of the report (not applicable to small quantity generators, in accordance with 40 CFR 262.44).     
• Records of any test results, waste analyses, or other determinations in accordance with 40 CFR 262.11 for three years from the date the waste was last sent for on-site or off-site treatment, storage, or disposal.

These periods of retention are automatically extended during the course of any unresolved enforcement action regarding the regulated activity or as requested by the EPA administrator or your state environmental agency. Moreover, other recordkeeping requirements are mandated by several other portions of the hazardous waste regulations. Conditionally exempt small quantity generators are not subject to these requirements, except as specified in 40 CFR 261.5(b).
