### November 12,2015 ATTORNEY GENERAL STATEMENT FOR FINAL AUTHORIZATION FOR CHANGES TO THE FEDERAL HAZARDOUS WASTE PROGRAM WESLEY K. DUNCAN AssistantAttorney General NICHOLAS A. TRUTANICH ChiefofStaff



### I hereby certify, pursuant to my authority as Attorney General and in accordance with Section 3006(b) of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as amended by the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984 (42 U.S.C.§ 6901 et seq.), and 40 C.F.R. 271.7, that in my opinion the laws of the State of Nevada provide adequate authority to carry out the hazardous waste program set forth in the Program Description submitted by the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection on March 20, 1992, and the Program Description Addendums submitted on May 6, 1994; March 13, 1995; March 25, 1996; March 16, 1998; March 13, 2000; November 16, 2001; May 27, 2004; August 30, 2004; and the Program Revision Applications submitted on January 25, 2005 and May 15, 2006, and meet the requirements of 40 C.F.R. Part 271, Subpart A. The specific authorities provided are contained in statutes or regulations lawfully adopted at the time this Statement is signed and which are in effect now. The statutory authorities for the State are documented in the State's RCRA Statutory Checklist, dated April 1, 2010, and attached to this statement (See Attachment A). In my opinion, statutes relied on in previously approved authorization applications have not been amended, modified or revised by statute or judicial decision in a way that diminishes and interferes with the authority to carry out the previously authorized hazardous waste program to meet the requirements of 40 C.F.R. Part 271, Subpart A. The provisions for which the State is seeking authorization are documented in the RCRA XVI and XVII Checklists (Attachment B). Differences between the State's provisions and the Federal provisions are noted on Attachment C. The official State regulations may be found in Nevada Administrative Code (NAC) Chapter 444. This certification supplements my or my predecessors' certifications of May 11, 2006; January 21, 2005; August 30, 2004; May 25, 2004; November 1, 2001; February 27, 2000; September 12, 1998; March 1, 1996; February 28, 1995; May 4, 1994 and March 20, 1992.

--2-- Adopted Regulation RO 15-08(2) The fees that would be charged per unit ofvolume to process waste transported to the facility orprocessed by the mobile unit; (3) The projected value that would be recovered per unit ofvolume; and (4) The projected costs otherwise to manage, recycle, treat or dispose ofthe material as a hazardous waste; (g) A description ofthe markets and the uses for the products to be produced and the materials and energy to be recovered; (h) A comparison ofthe economic and environmental impact ofthe proposed recycling process to a process which uses material that is not considered waste when producing the same product; and (i) An operating plan ifthe facility is a stationary facility and will recycle hazardous waste other than used antifreeze governed by NAC 444.8801 to 444.9071, inclusive, or precious metals governed by 40 C.F.R. Part 266. Such an operating plan must, without limitation, include a description ofthe procedures that will ensure safe operation and demonstrate compliance with: ( 1) The requirements for emergency preparedness and a contingency plan specified in 40 C.F.R.

A recycling process has economic value if: (1) The applicant shows that the material recovered from orthe products orenergy produced as a result ofthe process have value in the marketplace; and (2) The fees that the applicant charges per unit ofvolume to process the material are less than orequal to the cost otherwise to recycle, manage, treat or dispose ofthe material as a hazardous waste, except that the fees that the applicant charges per unit ofvolume may be offset by the recovered unit value ofthe material recovered from or the products or energy produced as
a result ofthe process. (c) The probable beneficial environmental effect ofthe facility or mobile unit to the State outweighs the probable adverse environmental effect. 4. Before issuing a written determination for a facility, the Administrator shall provide for a period ofpublic notice and comment ofnot less than 45 days. The request for public comment must be noticed in a local newspaper ofgeneral circulation that is published daily or weekly and must be sent to all persons on a mailing list developed and maintained by the Administrator.

• The Base Program hazardous waste statutes (NRS 444.700 et seq.) were not available for evaluation during the development ofthis crosswalk. A comparison ofcitations contained in the Base AG Statement with subsequent AG Statements indicates that the statutes were renumbered {with possible revision) between the time ofBase Program authorization and the Program Revision I authorization. A consolidated AG Statement was submitted as part ofthe PR I authorization application. Thus, it is assumed, for purposes ofthis crosswalk, that the entire program, including renumbered and/or revised statutes, was reviewed and approved as part ofthe PR I authorization. As such, the crosswalk does not include authorization histOI)' for the Base program except when the following criteria are met: (a) A provision ofthe current hazardous waste statures (NRS 459.400 to 459.600) was not cited in any authorization materials subsequent to the Base authorization; (b) The provision authorizes agency actions with regard to administration ofthe hazardous waste program; and (c) The amendatory history indicates that the provision existed at the time ofBase authorization and has not been amended since that time.
• Statutory provisions rhar are not part ofthe Disposal ofHazardous Waste Act (NRS 459.400 ro 459.600) and that are not cired on an AG Statement. or an authorization article are assumed not to be part ofthe aurhorized program and are not included on this crosswalk.
• Only those approved substantive statutory provisions for which regulations have not been promulgared arc codified. The following approved statutory provisions are not codified, and will be referenced in the codification Federal Register notice and in 40 CFR Part 272: (a) Provisions that provide authority for rulemaking; (b) Provisions that are procedural/enforcemerlf in nature: and (c) Substantive statutO!)' provisions whtch directly impact the regulated community, but for which regulations have been passed. This is because it is asswned that the regulatory provisions are relied upon for enforcement purposes. nv cdfOO stat crosswalk 2010-04-0I.doc- 3936.0058.NV05

3) The AG Statements and Federal Reoister authorization notices mosr often cite authority at the section level instead of at the subdivision or paragraph level. In those insrances, it is assumed for purposes of this crosswalk

that rhe entire section was reviewed and authorized with the exception of subdivisions or paragraphs that do not apply to the hazardous waste management program.

4) The date ofthe approved version indicated in this crosswalk reflects the year of adoption or last amendment as identified in the FR notices, the AG Statements. and the amendatory histories following each statutory

provision.

5) The following authorization application materials were not available for use in the development of this crosswalk: the Legislation Checklist; the Availability of Information (AI) Checklist; the HS W A Statutory Checklist;

and. Program Descriptions. However, this did not have an apparent impact on the development of this crosswalk because of the extensive documentation of statutory authority contained in the AG remarks of the AG

Statements. nv cdfOO stat crosswalk 20 I 0-04-0 l.doc- 3936.0058.NV05

Note that, as explained on page 24 oflhe PR I AG Statement, Nevada's statutory provision at NRS 459.520(4) provides that the pennits cannot be issued for a period of more than five years. The Stale's statutory requirement is more stringent than the Federal provision at40 CFR 270.50(a) which allows pennits to be issued for up to 10 years. The AG Statement explains that although the State's Commission has adopted 40 CFR 270.50(a) by reference as a State regulation, the more stringent statutory

**r~quirement** is applicable. In 200 I made changes clarifying that the construction of utilities is regulated under a separate act. In 2005 added 459.520(7) requiring that permits not be granted for new ormodified hazardous waste disposal facilities unless they include a liner and leachate collection and removal system. At459.520(8) definitions were added for ·1andfiW, "liner". "leachate", and "leachate collection and removal system". Additions are consistent with Federal landfill design requirements at 40 CFR 264.30I.
