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.
