• Rules. Arkansas requires hazardous waste large quantity generators (LQGs) and treatment, storage, and disposal facilities (TSDFs) to prepare an annual report, rather than a biennial report, and submit it to the Arkansas Division of Environmental Quality (DEQ) by March 1 of each year. The information required in the annual report is nearly identical to that required under the federal rules for a biennial report; Arkansas requires small quantity generators (SQGs) to submit an annual report, as well.
