Notation

      RELATES TO: KRS Subchapters 224.10, 224.40, 224.43, 224.46, 224.99, 40 C.F.R. 266 Subpart H

      STATUTORY AUTHORITY: KRS 224.10-100, 224.46-520

      NECESSITY, FUNCTION, AND CONFORMITY: KRS 224.46-520 requires the Environmental and Public Protection Cabinet to promulgate administrative regulations for permitting of persons who treat, store, recycle, or dispose of hazardous waste. This administrative regulation establishes standards for persons who burn hazardous waste in boilers and industrial furnaces. This administrative regulation is equivalent to the corresponding federal regulations, except Kentucky has more stringent requirements than those established in 40 C.F.R. 266, Appendix I, Tables 1-D and 1-E referenced in Section 8 of this administrative regulation. The Kentucky-specific tables established in 401 KAR 36:025 are an order of magnitude more stringent due to the Kentucky risk-specific doses being based on 10-6 rather than 10-5.
