Hazardous Waste

Final Revisions to NR 600 Series

The final proposed revisions to the hazardous waste and used oil rules, NR 600 series, have been completed. If adopted by the Natural Resources Board, the proposed rules will replace and update current rules that regulate the generation, transportation, recycling, treatment, storage and disposal of hazardous waste and used oil. They include new state rules based on federal hazardous waste regulations already in effect and revise current rules to more closely parallel the format and content of the federal regulations. Several revisions to the proposed rules were made based on public comments received during the comment period in May 2005, and comments from the Legislative Rules Clearinghouse, and US EPA.

The Department intends to ask the Natural Resources Board to adopt the rules at its meeting on December 7, 2005.

Below is the link to the final rule.
