    Reading Time:about 3 minutes

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has given Illinois the final go-ahead to make changes to its hazardous waste program as per the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). These changes relate to rules published in a proposed rule on July 30, 2020, which had received public support and no negative feedback. This decision confirms that Illinois' updated rules are just as strong and reliable as federal standards. The authorization is effective from February 9, 2021, and does not impose any new requirements beyond what the state law already has in place.

    Simple Explanation

    The EPA has given Illinois a thumbs-up to make sure their rules for handling dangerous waste are just as good as the national ones, starting from February 9, 2021, without adding any new tricky rules.

  • 2024-30025 — Utah: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste Management Program Revisions and Incorporation by Reference
    Type:Rule
    Citation:89 FR 104435
    Reading Time:about 99 minutes

    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.

    Simple Explanation

    The EPA has given Utah the green light to manage hazardous waste by themselves, as long as they follow the rules, but the EPA can still check to make sure everything's safe.
