These amendments to 6 CCR 1007-3, Part 100 are made pursuant to the authority granted to the Solid and Hazardous Waste Commission in § 25-15-302(2), C.R.S.
Amendment of § 100.63 and Appendix I to § 100.63
These amendments to Part 100 of the Colorado Hazardous Waste Regulations (6 CCR 1007-3) remove the permit modification provisions for EPA Performance Track member facilities that currently exist in § 100.63 and Appendix I to § 100.63.
These provisions were inadvertently excluded from the amendments adopted by the Commission on August 18, 2009 to remove the extended accumulation time requirements and reduced inspection frequency requirements previously available to members of both Colorado's Environmental Leadership Program and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) National Environmental Performance Track program.
The Commission's adoption of the August 2009 amendments became necessary following EPA's decision to terminate the federal Performance Track Program effective May 14, 2009. A notice announcing EPA's decision to terminate the Performance Track Program was published in the Federal Register on May 14, 2009 [74 FR 22741-22742].
Paragraph 3 of Subsection O (Burden Reduction) in Appendix I to § 100.63 is also being amended at this time to delete and reserve the paragraph. The recordkeeping and reporting requirements pursuant to the specific regulatory citations listed in paragraph 3 were amended by the RCRA Burden Reduction Initiative Amendments adopted by the Commission on May 15, 2007 and are no longer applicable.
