Nevada Division of Environmental Protection

Update -- Minutes of the HAZARDOUS WASTE REGULATIONS WORKSHOPS held in August, 2001

The Nevada Division of Environmental Protection (NDEP) will be holding a workshop on draft regulations concerning hazardous waste. The purpose of this workshop 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, 2000 and July 1, 2001, 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, 2001. The proposed permanent state regulations will modify existing state regulations to make them consistent with current federal requirements.

The workshops will be held at the following dates, times and locations:

Written comments will be accepted until 5:00 PM, August 17, 2001, and should be sent to Jim Trent, Nevada Division of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Waste Management, 333 W. Nye Lane, Carson City, NV 89706-0851. Comments may be submitted by e-mail. Click on the link below for a copy of the proposed regulations. For additional information pleas call Mr. Trent at (775) 687-4670 ext.3015.
