DEQ File Number:
Hazardous Waste Rule Ch. 1
Division:
Solid and Hazardous Waste
Case type:
Rulemaking
Hearing Examiner:
Bagley
Summary:
The SHWD, pursuant to the authority vested in it by the Environmental Quality Act, Wyoming Statute ยง35-11-503, proposes to repeal Chapters 2 -14 of the Hazardous Waste Rules and Regulations, taking the substance of those chapters and moving it to a single chapter (Chapter 1), which utilizes Incorporation By Reference of the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 40, "Protection of the Environment" (40 CFR). The revisions are intended to maintain primacy of the State with respect to 40 CFR, bring the State up-to-date with the 40 CFR, and provide for a more succinct, easy to use set of rules for the regulated community that detail where Wyoming is more stringent than, or broader-in-scope than, 40 CFR. The revised rules are required by federal law as well as W.S. 35-11-503. The revised rules exceed the minimum federal requirements for administering 40 CFR in Wyoming. The revised rules meet minimum substantive state statutory requirements per W.S. 16-3-103(a)(i)(G). The DEQ has evaluated the revised rules per W.S. 9-5-304, and interested persons may request a copy of the evaluation at the address below.
