These amendments to 6 CCR 1007-3, sections 261.31, 264.570, 264.571, 264.572, 264.573, 265.440, 265.441, 265.442, and 265.443 are promulgated pursuant to the authority granted the Hazardous Waste Commission in section 25-15-302(2), C.R.S.
Effective December 24,1992, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) adopted amendments to rules under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) that finalized modifications proposed on December 5, 1991 (56 FR 63848) to the wood preserving waste listings and drip pad regulations originally promulgated on December 6,1990 (55 FR 50450). These amendments modify the F032, F034, and F035 hazardous waste listings and portions of the subpart W requirements for drip pads. The listings of hazardous waste from the wood preserving industry include wastewaters, process residuals, preservative drippage, and spent formulations from wood preserving processes generated at plants that use or have used pentachlorophenol (F032), that currently use creosote (F034), or that currently use inorganic preservatives containing arsenic or chromium (F035).
The promulgation of these rules provide state equivalency with the regulatory requirements of the Environmental Protection Act. This Basis and Purpose incorporates by reference the preamble language for this amendment published in the Federal Register beginning at 57 FR 61492 on December 24, 1992.
