The deadline for filing Part 360/361 Solid Waste Management Facility and Organics Recycling Annual Reports for 2020 with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) is fast approaching. All annual reports must be submitted by March 1, 2021 to both the Central NYSDEC Office in Albany New York as well the Division of Materials Management in your respective NYSDEC Region.
The NYSDEC requires annual reporting to be submitted for various materials management facilities. Below is a list of all solid waste management facilities that have a designated annual report form specific to their operation.
If you do not to file an annual report with the NYSDEC for your permitted/registered facility, or you file late, your facility may be issued a violation that can result up to a $7,500 penalty per violation, and an additional $1,500 penalty for each day the violation is not resolved. A Notice of Violation often comes with an Order on Consent that has terms the facility additionally has to comply with. The NYSDEC can also take action to revoke your permit/registration for non-compliance.
Unlike other annual report filings required for various regulatory facilities, there are no fees due to the NYSDEC associated with annual report filings.
The NYSDEC provides solid waste management facility and organics recycling facility annual report forms, depending on your facility type, that must be completed and submitted (mailed in or emailed) on time. Whether your facility has a Part 360/361 registration or a permit, you must record and document all waste that was received, recovered for reuse, disposed, and transported throughout the duration of the 2020.
