# EPA RCRAInfo Hazardous Waste Handler Search

> EPA RCRAInfo Hazardous Waste Handler Search is a paid API for AI agents from api.govparse.io, paid per call via x402, $1.25/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Searches the EPA RCRAInfo database for hazardous-waste handlers (generators, transporters, TSDFs) by company, location, generator status, NAICS code, or handler role

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability epa-rcrainfo-hazardous-waste-handler-search-d23608b3
```

Example prompt: Pull all large-quantity hazardous waste generators in Ohio from the EPA RCRAInfo database for the chemical manufacturing sector — use NAICS prefix 325 and filter to LQG status, active sites only, and return up to 50 results.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured EPA RCRAInfo data on hazardous-waste handlers beyond what EPA ECHO provides — particularly for searching by generator status tier (LQG/SQG/VSQG), handler role (transporter vs TSDF), or NAICS industry code across an entire state or market. Ideal for EHS vendors building regulated-universe lists, compliance teams conducting due diligence on counterparties, or researchers mapping hazardous-waste infrastructure by geography or industry.

## Known failure modes

- No results returned when company name spelling differs significantly from EPA record — try partial name or handler ID
- State or NAICS codes provided in wrong format return empty results
- Pagination offset beyond available records returns empty array
- Invalid generator_status value returns validation error
- Rate limit or payment failure (x402) blocks the request

## How this service works

Which hazardous-waste handlers operate in a market? Search EPA RCRAInfo (every registered hazardous-waste generator, transporter, and treatment/storage/disposal facility) by company, state, city, generator status (LQG/SQG/VSQG), NAICS industry, or handler role (transporter, TSDF, active). Returns the handler (entity-resolved where possible), address, generator status, and role flags — an EHS vendor's entire regulated universe, not just ECHO hits. EPA public-domain records.

## Output

Returns a paginated list of EPA RCRA handler records matching the query, each including the handler name (entity-resolved where possible), EPA handler ID, full address, generator status (LQG/SQG/VSQG/Non-Generator), and role flags indicating whether the facility is a transporter, TSDF, or active site. An optional resolved entity UUID links to broader business data.
