06/26/2002 NOTICE OF WORKSHOP HAZARDOUS WASTE REGULATIONS The Nevada Division of Environmental Protection (NDEP) will be holding workshops on draft regulations concerning hazardous waste. The purpose of the workshops is to obtain input from the public and regulated community on the proposed regulatory changes. The State of Nevada is authorized by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to enforce federal hazardous waste regulations. Between July 1, 2001 and July 1, 2002, the EPA approved revisions to existing federal hazardous waste regulations and published them in the Federal Register. The State of Nevada is required to modify its state regulations accordingly. The Division of Environmental Protection proposes to incorporate these federal revisions into state regulations by adopting the applicable sections of the Federal Register as it existed on July 1, 2002. The proposed permanent state regulations will modify existing state regulations to make them consistent with current federal requirements. The state is also proposing revisions to the regulations affecting hazardous waste recyclers which would require them to prepare an operating plan and provide financial assurance. The workshops will be held at the following dates, times and locations:
