NOTICE OF REVIEW AND STATEMENT OF CONTINUATION

Concise explanation of the particular statutory provisions under which the rule is enacted and how these provisions authorize or require the rule:

Subsection 19-6-104(1)(i) of the Solid and Hazardous Waste Act (Act) requires that the solid waste program provided for in the Act meet the qualifications for primacy under the federal rules. The requirements established in Rule R315-303 are part of the basis of this program. Section 19-6-105 allows for rules to establish standards for storage, collection, transport, recovery, treatment, and disposal of solid waste and establish rules prohibiting disposal in places other than those approved. Rule R315-303 sets these standards. Section 19-6-108 requires approval of operations plans for disposal facilities. Rule R315-303 establishes part of the framework to meet the requirements of the Solid and Hazardous Waste Act regarding landfilling standards.

Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:

Proposed changes to the rule were published in September 2003 and December 2006. No comments were received during the 2003 or 2006 comment period. No written comments have been received on this rule.

Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:

Rule R315-303 contains requirements for solid waste disposal facilities performance requirements, design standards, operation, and maintenance standards. The rule forms the basis of the permit program required by the Solid and Hazardous Waste Act. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
