• Rules. Minnesota follows the federal biennial report rules for LQGs and TSDFs. While, as under the federal rules, LQGs provide their biennial report information by March 1 of every even-numbered year to EPA, TSDFs are required to provide such information to MPCA annually. In addition, the state requires LQGs as well as small quantity generators and very small quantity generators to submit an annual report to MPCA on their hazardous waste activities.

• Administration and enforcement. The Compliance and Enforcement Section of MPCA's Industrial Division administers and enforces the biennial report and state annual report requirements in Minnesota.
