    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:

    Section 19-6-104 requires the Solid and Hazardous Waste Control Board to meet the appropriate requirements associated with assuming primacy of the hazardous waste program from the federal government (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)). Also, Section 19-6-105 allows the Board to set minimum standards for the protection of human health and the environment, for the storage, collection, transport, recovery, treatment, and disposal of hazardous waste. Section 3006 of the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) allows a state to receive primacy and requires that authorized state programs be "equivalent" to the Federal program. Therefore, rules adopted by the Board are to be equivalent to the corresponding federal hazardous waste regulations in order to receive primacy from EPA.

     

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

    No written comments have been received.

     

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

    The rule is necessary for Utah to maintain its equivalency with EPA regulations for program authorization (primacy) and to provide appendices that are part of the hazardous waste rules. EPA authorization allows the Division of Solid and Hazardous Waste to administer the hazardous program in lieu of EPA as allowed by Section 3006 of RCRA (42) USC 6926), and therefore, this rule should be continued.
