      RELATES TO: KRS Subchapters 224.01, 224.10, 224.46, 40 C.F.R. Part 265 Subpart CC

      STATUTORY AUTHORITY: KRS 224.10-100, 224.46-520, 224.46-530

      NECESSITY, FUNCTION, AND CONFORMITY: KRS 224.46-520 requires that persons engaging in the storage, treatment, and disposal of hazardous waste obtain a permit. KRS 224.46-520 requires the Environmental and Public Protection Cabinet to establish standards for these permits, to require adequate financial responsibility, and to establish minimum standards for closure for all facilities and the postclosure monitoring and maintenance of hazardous waste disposal facilities. This administrative regulation establishes air emissions standards for tanks, surface impoundments, and containers that qualify for interim status.
