The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has granted final authorization to Utah's changes in its hazardous waste management program, effective February 21, 2025. This approval means facilities in Utah must comply with state requirements that align with federal standards under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). Utah is authorized to enforce its program except in Indian Country and will issue necessary permits, but the EPA retains the right to conduct inspections and enforce regulations. These changes were codified into the federal regulations, allowing Utah to implement its own hazardous waste management program.
