number" and when EPA is used in reference to actions under Subsection
R315-268-42(b)
and in Subsection R315-265-71(a)(3).
(a) The purpose of Rule R315-265 is to
establish minimum standards that define the acceptable management of hazardous
waste during the period of interim status and until certification of final
closure or, if the facility is subject to post-closure requirements, until
post-closure responsibilities are fulfilled.
(b) Except as provided in Subsection
R315-265-1080(b),
the standards of Rule R315-265, and of Sections
R315-264-552,
R315-264-553, and
R315-264-554, apply to owners
and operators of facilities that treat, store or dispose of hazardous waste who
have fully complied with the requirements for interim status under Section
3005(e) of RCRA and Section
R315-270-10 until either a
permit is issued under Rule R315-270 or until applicable Rule R315-265 closure
and post-closure responsibilities are fulfilled, and to those owners and
operators of facilities in existence on November 19, 1980 who have failed to
provide timely notification as required by Section 3010(a) of RCRA, failed to
file Part A of the permit application as required by Subsections
R315-270-10(e)

except in accordance with a permit. Section 3005(e) of RCRA provides for the
continued operation of an existing facility that meets certain conditions,
until final administrative disposition of the owner's and operator's permit
application is made.
