Notation

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

      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 large quantity handlers of universal waste. This administrative regulation is equivalent to federal standards established in 40 C.F.R. 273 Subpart C except for Section 2 of this administrative regulation, which adds language to clarify that wastes treated as hazardous may be treated on site in accordance with applicable state hazardous waste administrative regulations; 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. This administrative regulation includes provisions for spent lamps not addressed by federal regulations.
