§ 18C-40. Hazardous waste on-site treatment permit required.  


Latest version.
  • Tiered permitting refers to a graduated series of requirements applicable to RCRA or non-RCRA hazardous waste generators conducting onsite, fixed treatment of their own RCRA or non-RCRA hazardous wastes generated at the same location. There are three tiers of hazardous waste treatment. The level of regulation is scaled to the relative risk and complexity involved under each treatment tier. In ascending order, the tiers are:

    (a)

    Conditional exemption.

    (b)

    Conditional authorization.

    (c)

    Permit-by-rule.

    Prior to treatment of RCRA or non-RCRA hazardous wastes, the owner, operator, business, or person shall possess a permit issued by the CUPA indicating the tier of treatment that is occurring at the fixed location.
