Maine; Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste Management Program Revisions

The State of Maine has applied for final authorization for revisions to its hazardous waste program under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). Maine's revisions address many of the rules that were promulgated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) between July 1, 1984 and June 30, 1990. These rules are contained in Non-HSWA Clusters I through VI and HSWA Clusters I and II. The specific RCRA program revisions for which Maine is seeking authorization are listed in the table in section C of this document. Region I EPA has reviewed Maine's application and has made a decision, subject to public review and comment, that Maine's hazardous waste program revisions satisfy all the requirements necessary to qualify for final authorization. Also, the EPA views these revisions as non- controversial and anticipates no adverse comments. Thus, EPA is approving Maine's hazardous waste program revisions, effective in sixty (60) days, unless adverse comments pertaining to the State's revisions are received within the next thirty (30) days.
