Steps
Obtain a bearer token via the RCRAInfo Authenticate Service
Call GET /rcrainfo/rest/api/v1/lookup/federal-waste-codes for the full list of EPA federal hazardous waste codes (e.g. D001 Ignitable Waste)
Call GET /rcrainfo/rest/api/v1/lookup/state-waste-codes/{stateCode} for state-specific waste codes
Call the parallel lookup endpoints for form codes, management method codes, waste minimization codes, density units of measure, and ports of entry as needed
Cache the returned code/description pairs locally and validate manifest line items against them client-side before submission
Known gotchas
An invalid 2-character state code on the state-waste-codes call returns E_InvalidStateCode; a state with no codes defined returns E_StateCodesUndefined
These are reference/lookup-only endpoints with no filtering beyond the state code path parameter, so bulk-cache rather than re-querying per manifest line
Codes returned are RCRA-specific and won't match a different regulatory program's coding scheme
