What EPA Form 8700-23 is used for

EPA Part A 8700-23 is the Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest section used to identify and track hazardous waste during shipment. It records generator, transporter, facility, waste, quantity, and handling information so each party can review the same shipping record. A sender can upload the form to signNow, let the platform detect fillable fields, add required signer fields, and route the document electronically. Completed copies and the audit trail can then be stored together. Confirm current EPA instructions and any state requirements before using an electronic workflow.

Best practices for completing EPA Form 8700-23

Accurate field assignment, signer review, and record preservation reduce errors when EPA Form 8700-23 moves between shipment participants.

Review every manifest field

Upload the current manifest version to signNow and compare every detected field with the printed EPA form. Verify generator, transporter, receiving facility, waste codes, quantities, and shipment details before routing it for signature. Do not rely on automatic field detection without reviewing the completed layout.

Assign parties by responsibility

Assign each signature, date, and certification field to the party responsible for that entry. Use role-based routing when the generator, transporter, and receiving facility act separately. Confirm signer identities and required order before sending, because a misplaced field can delay shipment documentation.

Preserve the complete record

Retain the completed manifest, signed PDF, and signNow audit trail together. The record should show signer actions, timestamps, and document history. Apply the retention period required by the applicable EPA, state, or facility policy rather than choosing a period solely from the platform settings.

Confirm state requirements first

Check state-specific hazardous-waste requirements before relying on electronic signatures or delivery records. EPA rules may not answer every state process question. Record any required paper copy, notification, or facility procedure alongside the digitally completed manifest.

Processing stages for EPA Form 8700-23

Electronic routing removes manual handoffs, but shipment participants still control review and signature timing.

01

Document preparation

Review all generator, transporter, facility, waste, and quantity fields before sending.
02

Delivery to signers

Send the assigned manifest fields to each responsible shipment participant.
03

Signer turnaround

Signer turnaround depends on participant availability and shipment scheduling.
04

Completion and archival

Download the completed manifest and audit trail after every required signature.

Risks when manifest records are incomplete

Incomplete manifest

Missing fields delay review

Misassigned signature

Wrong signer weakens attribution

Missing audit trail

Unretained records hinder proof

State process conflict

State rules may require alternatives

Privacy and disclosure pitfalls

  • Personal names, facility addresses, and shipment details can be exposed when completed manifests are shared without controlled access.
  • A signer may complete a certification field without reviewing the waste description, quantity, or transporter information first.
  • Using one shared account can make it difficult to attribute a generator, transporter, or facility signature to the correct person.
  • A completed PDF without its audit trail may not explain when each shipment participant reviewed or signed the manifest.

Troubleshooting EPA Form 8700-23 workflows

Resolve field, signer, authentication, compliance, plan, and record-preservation questions before releasing a completed manifest.

Upload the current EPA Form 8700-23 PDF, then compare signNow’s detected fields with the source document. Add missing fields manually and verify generator, transporter, facility, waste, quantity, and signature areas before sending.

Assign every signature and certification field to the responsible generator, transporter, or receiving-facility representative. Role-based routing helps separate duties, but the sender must confirm each assignment before delivery.

signNow supports legally binding electronic signatures under ESIGN and UETA. Confirm that the applicable EPA, state, facility, and shipment procedures accept the selected electronic process before relying on it for this manifest.

Use two-factor authentication or SMS OTP when the workflow requires stronger signer attribution. Keep the completed document and audit trail together so the signing event can be reviewed with the manifest.

The Business plan is listed at $8 per user per month when billed annually. It includes legally binding eSignatures, audit trails, templates, and mobile apps; other requirements may call for a different plan.

Export the completed PDF and audit trail after all required signatures. Store them under the retention rule selected by the generator, facility, or applicable state and EPA procedure; signNow does not determine the legally required period.
