The proposed modifications to the hazardous waste management regulation are designed to supplement requirements of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 as amended, Title II, Subtitle C Section 3009, the South Carolina Hazardous Waste Management Act Section44-56-10 et seq., and the Pollution Control Act Section48-1-10 et seq., for the purposes of protecting protect health, safety and the environment. If approved by the General Assembly, the provisions would be incorporated into R.61-79 and become effective upon publication in the State Register.

New provisions would provide for clarity within existing regulation, including requirements for notarizing existing financial documents; stipulation by insurers that the insurance policies reflect the requirements of these regulations; imposition of financial responsibility for cleanup by commercial offsite treatment/disposal facilities; a requirement for 10 feet of naturally occurring low-permeability material beneath landfill liner systems; requirement for containment at interim status and generators' storage areas; the removal of the requirement for transporters to report their activities; and extension of the postclosure permit period from 5 to 10 years.
