| (a) The purpose of this subchapter is to establish
minimum requirements that define the acceptable management of hazardous
waste prior to the issuance or denial of a hazardous waste permit
and until certification of final closure or, if the facility is subject
to post-closure requirements, until post-closure responsibilities
are fulfilled. Except as provided in 40 Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR) §265.1080(b), this subchapter and the standards of 40 CFR §§264.552,
264.553, and 264.554 apply to owners and operators of hazardous waste
storage, processing, or disposal facilities who have fully complied
with the requirements for interim status under the Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act (RCRA), §3005(e), except as specifically provided
for in §335.41 of this title (relating to Purpose, Scope and
Applicability).
(b) United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
Hazardous Waste Numbers F020, F021, F022, F023, F026, or F027 must
not be managed at facilities subject to regulation under this subchapter,
unless:
(1) the wastewater treatment sludge is generated in
a surface impoundment as part of the plant's wastewater treatment
system;
(2) the waste is stored in tanks or containers;
(3) the waste is stored or processed in waste piles
that meet the requirements of 40 CFR §264.250(c) as well as all
other applicable requirements of 40 CFR Part 265, Subpart L, and §335.120
of this title (relating to Containment for Waste Piles);
(4) the waste is burned in incinerators that are certified
pursuant to the standards and procedures in 40 CFR §265.352;
or
(5) the waste is burned in facilities that thermally
process the waste in a device other than an incinerator and that are
certified pursuant to the standards and procedures in 40 CFR §265.383.
(c) The requirements of this section apply to owners
or operators of all facilities which process, store or dispose of
hazardous waste referred to in 40 CFR Part 268, and the 40 CFR Part
268 standards are considered material conditions or requirements of
the Part 265 interim status standards incorporated by reference in §335.112
of this title (relating to Standards).
(d) Owners and operators who are subject to the requirements
to obtain a post-closure permit under §335.2 and §335.43
of this title (relating to Permit Required), but who obtain a post-closure
order in lieu of a post-closure permit as provided in §335.2(m)
of this title, must:
(1) submit information about the facility listed in §305.50(b)
of this title (relating to Additional Requirements for an Application
for a Hazardous or Industrial Solid Waste Permit and for a Post-Closure
Order);
(2) comply with facility-wide corrective action requirements
of §335.167 of this title (relating to Corrective Action for
Solid Waste Management Units);
(3) comply with the groundwater monitoring requirements
of §§335.156 - 335.166 of this title (relating to Applicability
of Groundwater Monitoring and Response; Required Programs; Groundwater
Protection Standard; Hazardous Constituents; Concentration Limits;
Point of Compliance; Compliance Period; General Groundwater Monitoring
Requirements; Detection Monitoring Program; Compliance Monitoring
Program; and Corrective Action Program); and
(4) comply with the financial assurance requirements
of Chapter 37, Subchapter P of this title (relating to Financial Assurance
for Hazardous and Nonhazardous Industrial Solid Waste Facilities).
(e) The commission may replace all or part of the closure
requirements of 40 CFR Part 265, Subpart G (relating to Closure and
Post-Closure), as amended and adopted in §335.112(a)(6) of this
title and the unit specific standards in §335.123 of this title
(relating to Closure and Post-Closure (Land Treatment Facilities))
applying to a regulated unit with alternative requirements for closure
set out in a permit or a post-closure order where the commission determines
that:
(1) a regulated unit is situated among solid waste
management units or area of concern, a release has occurred, and both
the regulated unit and one or more solid waste management unit(s)
or area of concern are likely to have contributed to the release;
and
(2) it is not necessary to apply the closure requirement
of this subchapter because the alternative requirements will be protective
of human health and the environment and will satisfy the closure performance
standards of §335.8 of this title (relating to Closure and Remediation)
and §335.167 of this title.
