(1) shall be consistent with the regulations of the United States Environmental Protection Agency concerning standards for the disposal of coal combustion residuals in landfills and surface impoundments, as set forth in the federal CCR rule;

(2) shall not impose a restriction or requirement that is more stringent or burdensome than the corresponding restriction or requirement imposed under the federal CCR rule; and

(3) shall not impose a restriction or requirement that is not imposed by the federal CCR rule.

(d) The department shall do the following:

(1) Establish a state permit program under Section 2301 of the federal Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation Act (42 U.S.C. 6945(d)) for the implementation in Indiana of the federal CCR rule.

Fees collected under this subsection shall be deposited in the CCR program fund established by section 3.2 of this chapter.

(j) Not later than July 1, 2027, and before the end of each succeeding period of five (5) years, the board shall review the:

ARTICLE VII. OTHER LAWS AND REGULATIONS

a. Nothing in this compact:

1. Abrogates or limits the applicability of any act of the Congress or diminishes or otherwise impairs the jurisdiction of any federal agency expressly conferred thereon by the Congress;

2. Prevents the enforcement of any other law of a party state which is not inconsistent with this compact;

3. Prohibits any generator from storing or treating, on its own premises, waste generated by it within the region;

4. Affects any administrative or judicial proceeding pending on the effective date of this compact;

5. Alters the relations between and the respective internal responsibility of the government of a party state and its subdivisions;

6. Affects the generation, treatment, storage or disposal of waste generated by the atomic energy defense activities of the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Energy or successor agencies or federal research and development activities as described in 42 U.S.C. 2021;

7. Affects the rights and powers of any party state or its political subdivisions, to the extent not inconsistent with this compact, to regulate and license any facility or the transportation of waste within its borders;

8. Requires a party state to enter into any agreement with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission; or

9. Limits, expands, or otherwise affects the authority of a state to regulate low-level radioactive waste classified by any agency of the United States government as "below regulatory concern" or otherwise exempt from federal regulation.

b. If a court of the United States finally determines that a law of a party state conflicts with this compact, this compact shall prevail to the extent of the conflict. The Commission shall not commence an action seeking such a judicial determination unless commencement of the action is approved by a two-thirds vote of the membership of the Commission.

c. Except as authorized by this compact, no law, rule or regulation of a party state or of any of its subdivisions or instrumentalities may be applied in a manner which discriminates against the generators of another party state.

d. Except as provided in Articles III(m) and VII(f) of this compact, no provision of this compact shall be construed to eliminate or reduce in any way the liability or responsibility, whether arising under common law, statute, rule, or regulation, of any person for penalties, fines, or damages to persons, property, or the environment resulting from the development, construction, operation, closing, or long-term care of a compact facility, or any noncompact facility made available to the region by any agreement entered into by the Commission pursuant to Article III(h)(6) of this compact, or any other matter arising from this compact. The provisions of this compact shall not alter otherwise applicable laws relating to compensation of employees for workplace injuries.

e. Except as provided in 28 U.S.C. 1251(a), the district courts of the United States have exclusive jurisdiction to decide cases arising under this compact. Article VII(e) of this compact does not apply to proceedings within the jurisdiction of state or federal regulatory agencies nor to judicial review of proceedings before state or federal regulatory agencies. Article VII(e) of this compact shall not be construed to diminish other laws of the United States conferring jurisdiction on the courts of the United States.

f. For the purposes of activities pursuant to this compact, the sovereign immunity of party states and employees of party states shall be as follows:

1. A party state or employee thereof, while acting within the scope of employment, shall not be subject to suit or held liable for damages to persons, property, or the environment resulting from the development, construction, operation, regulation, closing, or long-term care of a compact facility, or any noncompact facility made available to the region by any agreement entered into by the Commission pursuant to Article III(h)(6) of this compact. This applies whether the claimed liability of the party state or employee is based on common law, statute, rule, or regulation.

2. The sovereign immunity granted in Article VII(f)(1) of this compact does not apply to any of the following:

a. Actions based upon the activities of the party states as generators of waste. With regard to those actions, the sovereign immunity of the party states shall not be affected by this compact.

b. Actions based on the obligations of the party states to each other and the Commission imposed by this compact, or other contracts related to the disposal of waste under this compact. With regard to those actions, the party states shall have no sovereign immunity.

c. Actions against a host state, or employee thereof, when the host state or employee acted in a grossly negligent or willful and wanton manner.

g. If in any action described in Article VII(f)(1) and not described in Article VII(f)(2) of this compact, it is determined that, notwithstanding Article VII(f)(1) of this compact, a party state, or employee of that state who acted within the scope of employment, is liable for damages or has liability for other matters arising under this compact as described in Article VI(s)(3) of this compact, the generators who caused waste to be placed at the compact facility with respect to which the liability was incurred shall indemnify the party state or employee against that liability. Those generators also shall indemnify the party state or employee against all reasonable attorney's fees and expenses incurred in defending against any such action. The indemnification obligation of generators under Article VII(g) of this compact shall be joint and several, except that the indemnification obligation of party states with respect to their activities as generators of waste shall not be joint and several, but instead shall be prorated according to the amount of waste each state has disposed of at the compact facility giving rise to the liability. Among generators, there shall be rights of contribution based upon equitable principles, and generators shall have rights of contribution against any other person responsible for such damages under common law, statute, rule, or regulation. A party state that through its own activities did not generate any waste disposed of at the compact facility giving rise to the liability, an employee of such a party state, and the Commission shall have no contribution obligation under Article VII(g) of this compact. Article VII(g) of this compact shall not be construed as a waiver of the sovereign immunity provided for in Article VII(f)(1) of this compact.

h. The sovereign immunity of a party state provided for in Article VII(f)(1) of this compact shall not be extended to any private contractor assigned responsibilities as authorized in Article VI(g) of this compact.
