Hazardous Waste Program
Welcome to the Montana DEQ’s Hazardous Waste Program of the
Permitting and Compliance Division. The Hazardous
Waste Program provides expertise in hazardous waste
management and is responsible for permitting, compliance
assurance, and technical assistance for hazardous waste
management in Montana. The Program is divided into two
units, Regulatory and Permitting.
The Waste Management Unit is responsible for regulating
storage, treatment, transport, and disposal of hazardous
waste and used oil for all hazardous waste generators in
the State of Montana. In addition, the unit provides
technical assistance to, and conducts inspections of,
hazardous waste generators of all sizes throughout
Montana.
Permitting: A permit from the Montana Department of Environmental
Quality (DEQ) is required to construct or operate a
hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facility
in the State. Permits are issued to ensure hazardous waste
facilities are operated in a manner that protects human
health and the environment.
Persons who transport hazardous wastes are required to notify the DEQ and to
obtain an identification number.
Persons who generate hazardous waste (with certain
exceptions) are required to maintain an annual
generator registration and to pay a registration fee each
year, in addition to obtaining an identification number.
