Hazardous waste generators - Minnesota

While Minnesota Closely follows federal rule, there are a few differences. Below is a summary of those differences:

• Remediation Requirements - Minnesota has chosen to remain more stringent in the Hazardous Remediation Waste Management Requirements by choosing not to adopt 40 CFR 270.79 through 270.230 which allow for Remedial Action Plans (RAP). The RAP regulations are considered to be less stringent. Minnesota is more stringent in checklist 108, as it does not recognize the list of excluded processes, nor does it have provision to waive the double liner requirement in 40 CFR 265.301(d). In rule revision (Checklist) 118, Minnesota does not allow any liquids in landfills even as provided for in 40 CFR 264.314.
