New EPA Requirement in 2025 for all LQGs & SQGs Check out the new EPA requirements for 2025! Beginning January 22, 2025, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is requiring all Large and Small Quantity Generators (LQGs and SQGs) to register and maintain an account in RCRAInfo to meet the new regulatory changes made by the e-Manifest Third Final Rule . This new EPA registration requirement ensures all small and large quantity hazardous waste generators can access e-Manifest to obtain their final signed manifest copies from the system. For more instructions on how to register visit the e-Manifest User Registration webpage For a list of LQGs and SQGs without a Site Manager or Certifier, please visit the e-Manifest Third Rule Compliance Check to download the list For more information on EPA’s Hazardous Waste Electronic Manifest System (e-Manifest) visit the e-Manifest webpage Also beginning January 22, 2025, the EPA is requiring the use of a new 4-copy (four page) hazardous waste manifest (EPA Form 8700-22) and continuation sheet (EPA Form 8700-22A). EPA has changed the manifest forms, manifest instructions, and the hazardous waste manifest requirements corresponding to completion of the manifest forms for international shipments. Generators may continue to use the obsolete 5-copy (five page) manifest forms until December 01, 2025. Page 3 (“Designated Facility” Copy) has been removed from the 5-copy manifest, since generators will no longer receive a final signed paper copy mailed back to them. They must retrieve the completed manifest in their registered account in e-Manifest. The new four-copy manifest form will be as follows: Page 1: “Designated facility or U.S. exporter to the EPA's e-Manifest system” (top copy) Page 2: “Designated facility to generator” (e.g. Polychlorinated Biphenyls “PCBs” shipments) Page 3: “Transporter copy” Page 4: “Generator's initial copy” (bottom copy) Previous Next

< Back WMG Liners Mar 28, 2023 Standard, FLTRSTOR, Dewatering, and Custom Liners Standard Liners WMG's standard liners are made from carbon steel and feature wide mouth openings. The lids are installed with gaskets and eight 3/4" bolts. We offer liner sizes that are compatible with all of the available shipping casks. Our typical offerings include liners made from 1/4" bodies and feature either a "lift from the lid" (with our without a secondary lid) or a "lift from the body" design. One of the great features of our "lift from the body" liners is that their lids are installed with gaskets and only four 3/4" bolts. FLTRSTOR™ The FLTRSTOR™ system is an integrated system that helps clients load, store, and ultimately ship filters with greatly improved efficiency compared to the normal process of simply dropping filters into a container. The system consists of four (4) racks with integrated pallets that allow for a total of 104 Tri Nuclear type filters (e.g., 6” dia. X 30” length) to reliably fit in our 8-120 custom Open-Top Container (which is included with the system). Dewatering Liners WMG's new innovation in Dewatering Liners incorporates many key improvements in engineering design & fabrication which are based on feedback from operations, the filter supplier, and our liner fabricator. WMG's new design has significantly improved on performance and efficiency, exceeding our goal of producing a dewatering liner that reduces failure rates, all while saving time, dose, and money. Custom Liners WMG designs a variety of custom metal liners that are able to interface with the most commonly used casks in the industry, from the 8-120s up to the 14-215s. We focus on steel, open top, wide mouth liners. Every project is different and some require aluminium liners. Accordingly, WMG offers liners with lightweight aluminium flip top lids that easily seal with clamps and one bolt, as well as our "stadium" shaped liner that has flat sides in order to be fit through doors.

< Back 1983 Development of RADMAN™ WMG begins development of the RADMAN™ program and receives NRC topical approval. The original RADMAN™ program was written in FORTRAN IV for the TRS 80 computer. A dot matrix printer was included, and the entire package weighed about 20 lbs. Peter drove around from plant to plant in his station wagon attempting to sell RADMAN™, and Oyster Creek eventually bought the first unit. After RADMAN™ was converted to run on a much more sizable IBM computer, demand for RADMAN™ increased and plants across the country began to purchase it. With the introduction of RADMAN™, WMG’s reputation for setting the industry standard for excellence began to take shape.
