Regulations to be at least as stringent as federal hazardous waste regulations
New York State is mandated to adopt regulations that are at least as stringent as federal hazardous waste regulations. The proposed rules would incorporate federal rule changes that were made between January 2002 through April 2012 and the amendment to the Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Hazardous Waste Combustors (Maximum Achievable Control Technology rules). The June 26, 2014 federal Cathode Ray Tube Export rule is included in this rulemaking. The proposed rules would also implement State-initiated changes, including clarified language and corrected errors found in the regulations.NYSDEC seeking comments : Live webinar to be hosted on February 25

- (3) Electronic Manifest Rule;
- (4) 2008 Definition of Solid Waste Rule, as amended in December 2014;
