e-Manifest

You can find our new services documentation at https://usepa.github.io/e-manifest/

Background

The purpose of e-Manifest is to establish a national information technology system that will enable the Agency and the hazardous waste program’s industry and state stakeholders to transition the manifest system from one that is paper-intensive and burdensome to a system that is much more efficient, because it will rely on information technology to track hazardous waste shipments.

Accessing the Test Environment

In order to access the test environment, all users will be required to set up a test account on the test site. If you are interested in testing services, please read our services docs.
