State Manifest Requirements



The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has adopted a Hazardous Waste Manifest Form used to track hazardous waste from a generator's site to the site of its disposition. Handlers of waste may obtain new forms from sources registered with EPA to print and distribute the form. The Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifests form is EPA Form 8700-22 (rev 3-05).

Emissions Modeling & Inventory

The Air Division is charged with the responsibility of insuring that Alabama's air quality meets federal standards. The Air Division has several QA/QC methods that can be used in order to analyze the quality of Alabama's air. Computer models use air emissions to simulate what the ground-level concentrations of a pollutant(s) would be using meteorological data and terrain information. Stack tests are conducted to measure the actual levels of emissions that are being released by a facility. Emission inventories use the past year's actual emissions to analyze emission trends.

The Department assisted in the preparation of the NEP comprehensive monitoring plan and is a cooperator in an atmospheric deposition monitoring effort. Departmental staff also provide vital links between the NEP and the various ADEM environmental programs, the Gulf of Mexico Program and the Alabama Coastal Programs.
