Rulemaking History
At its January 24,
2001 meeting the Board directed staff to initiate an
emergency rulemaking process to clarify that the Board's current standards
for transfer/processing operations and facilities apply to the
transfer/processing of putrescible wastes.
The Board adopted emergency regulations at its
February
20-22 meeting. Following this action, the Board received feedback from
parties concerned about the potential impacts of the emergency
regulations.
In response to the feedback received staff brought the regulations back to the Board for
re-evaluation at its April
24-25, 2001 meeting, the Board directed staff to make changes to
the regulations and then submit to the Office of Administrative Law with a request for a delayed effective date (length to be determined) as
an emergency rulemaking.
Board staff conducted
informal public workshops for the purpose of soliciting feedback on
proposed regulations on July 16 and 17, 2001. These workshops initiated the
regular rulemaking process for making the regulations permanent.
The Office of Administrative Law approved the emergency regulations,
including a 180-day delayed effective date, and filed them with the Secretary
of State on August 13, 2001. The emergency regulations are effective as of
February 13, 2002.
At the September
11-12, 2001 Board meeting staff was directed to initiate a 45-day
public comment period for the proposed permanent regulations (August 2001
version). The 45-day public comment period ran from March 1 through
April 15, 2002. The
Board conducted a public hearing and directed staff to begin an additional 15-day comment period at the May
14, 2002 Board meeting. The 15-day comment period ran from May 20,
2002, through June 4, 2002.
The Board adopted permanent regulations on June
19, 2002. The Office of Administrative Law also approved the
regulations and filed them with the Secretary of State on September 30,
2002. The regulations became immediately effective.
