Notation

      RELATES TO: KRS Subchapters 224.10, 224.40, 224.46, 40 C.F.R. 273 Subpart B

      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 which establish standards for generators of hazardous waste by amount of waste generated. KRS 224.46-510(3) requires that the cabinet establish classes or categories of hazardous waste reflecting the relative degree of hazard. This administrative regulation establishes standards for small quantity handlers of universal waste. This administrative regulation is equivalent to the corresponding federal regulations, except Section 2 of this administrative regulation has an additional provision to prohibit the treatment of hazardous waste on site under the universal waste requirements and Section 4 of this administrative regulation does not allow a small quantity universal waste handler to treat universal waste lamps except as provided in Section 2 of this administrative regulation.
