Proposed Hazardous Waste Regulations Adopting Federal LDR Program

310 CMR 30.000

MassDEP is proposing these regulations as part of its ongoing hazardous waste regulation authorization process. The key component of the regulatory proposal is adoption of the federal Land Disposal Restriction (LDR) program, found at 40 CFR Part 268, which would require waste handlers to treat hazardous waste or meet specified levels for hazardous constituents before disposing of waste on the land.

Public hearings have been held. The public comment deadline is 5:00 p.m. on Monday, June 22, 2009.
