Its aggregate active-program flag is Y: EPA defines this as at least one associated air, water, hazardous-waste or drinking-water program record being active. It does not mean that every listed program record is active or that the facility has a current compliance certification.

What EPA water-discharge program identifiers are recorded for this facility?

These identify water-discharge program records; the export's aggregate active flag does not establish the current status or expiry of each individual permit. They do not authorize public waste drop-off.

What EPA hazardous-waste identifiers and facility types are recorded here?

ECHO associates SPECIALTY SOLID WASTE & RECYCLING INC with RCRA identifier(s) CAL000130919 and recorded facility type(s) Other. Source export last modified October 25, 2026. Generator classifications describe a facility's own hazardous-waste generation; they are not approval to accept hazardous waste from customers. These identifiers and types do not by themselves establish an active treatment, storage or disposal permit.

What compliance-monitoring history does EPA ECHO report for this facility?

EPA ECHO identifies SPECIALTY SOLID WASTE & RECYCLING INC at 3355 THOMAS ROAD, SANTA CLARA, CA (FRS 110010462230). Its five-year compliance-monitoring metric records 0 qualifying activities. The export supplies no latest-activity date. The source snapshot is 2026-10-25, retrieved 2026-10-30. These records cover qualifying inspections and evaluations; an air-program evaluation may include off-site work. A zero is the ECHO metric for this reporting window, not a statement that the site has never been inspected. This is a reported monitoring history, not a current compliance rating.

What enforcement-action counts does the EPA export report?
