      STATUTORY AUTHORITY: KRS 224.10-100, 224.46-510

      NECESSITY, FUNCTION, AND CONFORMITY: KRS 224.46-510(1) requires the Environmental and Public Protection Cabinet to promulgate administrative regulations to establish requirements relating to generators of hazardous waste. This administrative regulation implements provisions of KRS 224.46-510 and 40 C.F.R. 262 Subpart C by establishing requirements for labeling, marking, placarding, and accumulation time. This administrative regulation differs from the corresponding federal regulation by requiring immediate notification of a release of hazardous materials in Section 5 and by establishing in Section 6 application, approval and fee requirements for generators treating hazardous waste on-site.
