CONFERENCE COMMITTEE REPORT

DIGEST FOR ESB 511



Citations Affected: IC 13-11-2-1.5 ; IC 13-14-12-1 ; IC 13-22.

Synopsis: Hazardous waste manifests. Repeals provisions that require the solid waste management board to adopt a manifest form that concerns hazardous waste that is transported to a treatment, storage, or disposal facility located at a site other than the site where the waste was generated. Requires a person that generates hazardous waste that is transported to one of these facilities to: (1) use the Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest form adopted by the United States Environmental Protection Agency for purposes of the transportation of hazardous waste; and (2) enter on the form the waste codes for each hazardous waste in a shipment that is transported to the facility. Repeals provisions that require: (1) generators of hazardous waste that is shipped to a facility; and (2) owners and operators of the facility; to submit a copy of each hazardous waste manifest to the department of environmental management. Specifies requirements for reporting of hazardous waste by persons that generate or accumulate certain types and quantities of hazardous waste, and by hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facilities. Requires the first report to be submitted before March 1, 2002. (This conference committee report removes language that: (1) requires a wastewater treatment plant that discovers that a contaminant has entered the plant to notify the department of environmental management and requires the department to notify all appropriate state and local government agencies and the media; (2) doubles the criminal fine that may be imposed for a person who violates certain environmental laws, rules, and standards and doubles the criminal fine that may be imposed for certain hazardous waste violations; and (3) requires the department of environmental management to prepare a report concerning the White River.)

Effective: January 1, 2001; January 1, 2002.
