These amendments to 6 CCR 1007-3, Parts 264, 265, 268, 273,
and 6 are made pursuant to the authority granted to the Hazardous Waste
Commission in section
25-15-302(2),
C.R.S.
Hazardous Waste Management: Liquids in
Landfills
These amendments provide increased flexibility to the
regulated community by adding a third test to §
§ 264.314 and 265.314
of the existing state regulations for demonstrating that a sorbent is
non-biodegradable. The test, OECD 301B (Modified Sturm Test) for determining
the biodegradability of organic chemicals in water, was recently adopted by the
Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) after
recommendation by an OECD Expert Group on Degradation/Accumulation. The
Environmental Protection Agency concluded that the test is applicable, that it
effectively measures the biodegradability of sorbents, and that its use in
determining biodegradability of sorbents in a hazardous waste landfill will not
have a negative environmental impact.
This Basis and Purpose incorporates by reference the
preamble language for the Environmental Protection Agency regulations published
in the Federal Register at 60 FR 35703-35706, July 11, 1995.
Amendment of §
§ 268.36(d) and
268.36(e)
These amendments correct errors which occurred when the
land disposal restrictions for newly listed wastes and hazardous debris
regulations of August 18, 1992 (57 FR 37194-37282) were adopted by Colorado.
Colorado inadvertently omitted some wording when adopting state analogs to
40 CFR §
268.36(d) and §
268.36(e). These
amendments make the corresponding additions to the state analogs to ensure
equivalency with the applicable federal regulations.
Amendment of §268.36(g)
Section 268.36(g) was a time-limited provision that has
expired and is no longer in effect. For this reason, the language in §
268.36(g) is being deleted, and paragraph (g) is being reserved.
Amendment of § 273.2(c)(2)(i)
This amendment corrects a typographical error which exists
in subparagraph (c)(2)(i) of § 273.2 by replacing "Aerosol cans" with
"Thermostats".
Amendment of § 6.04
Section 6.04 is being amended by revising paragraph (a) to
reflect the annual Commission fees to be assessed for fiscal year
1996-97.
