US Ecology Romulus laws and regulations
The hazardous waste laws and supporting regulations provide enforceable standards for the treatment, storage, and disposal of hazardous waste. They also require tracking of hazardous waste from the generator and transporter to the disposal facility to ensure proper management and disposal that is protective of human health and the environment. To maintain groundwater quality, most hazardous waste is restricted from land disposal unless pre-treated.
The hazardous waste statute and rules that prescribe Treatment, Storage, and Disposal Facility (TSDF)licensing standards include:
- Part 111, Hazardous Waste Management, of the Michigan Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act, 1994 PA 451, as amended, and the administrative rules promulgated thereunder.
- The corresponding statutory provisions of the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA), as amended by the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984 (HSWA), and its rules.
