4. FEDERAL DEFINITION FOR SQGs Between 100 kg/mo and 1000 kg/mo and accumulation of no more than 6000 kg Seven states participating in SQGs (this includes Vermont who will be observing the sector). Of these seven states, four use Federal Definition for SQGs:  CO, MA, NY and VT

5. SQG DEFINITION DIFFERENCES CT:  Lower accumulation limit (1000 kg/mo). Will be noted in presentation results and should not be a problem NH:  FQG generates 100 kg/mo or more (SQG 0-100 kg/mo)  May be able to weed out FQGs generating > 1000 kg/mo  No accumulation limits but must ship within 90 days. Will be noted in presentation results and should not be a problem RI:  SQG generates between 0 – 1000 kg/mo  Unable to weed out those generating between 0-100 kg/mo  No accumulation limits but must be shipped within 90 days.
