MEMORANDUM 

TO: Nina Kocourek, EPA Region X 

FROM: Pam Smolczynski, Idaho DEQ diii! 

SUBJECT: Idaho's Revised Authorization Application for Clusters I, II, and III 

Enclosed you will find two copies and the original of Idaho's Revised Authorization Application for 

Clusters I, II, and III. 

• 

I thank you for your diligence throughout this process. I am certain that our open and cooperative 

working relationship was paramount to successfully completing a streamlined authorization package. 

Most notably, this package contains only useful, and required information. Referencing documents that 

contain key information greatly simplified the process. As changes are made to Idaho's authorized RCRA 

program, the appropriate document can be updated. 

In the spirit of future streamlining, updated documents have been added as appendices to the program 

description thus allowing for insertion of the appropriate revised document. The methodology applied 

to this package can be summarized as being aligned with EPA's new Common Sense Initiative. 

The original Idaho Revised Authorization Application is clipped together. This package contains the 

signed copies of the Attorney General's Statement, Memorandum of Agreement, and the Compliance 

Assurance Agreement. Please send me a copy of each of these signed pages when Region X completes 

appropriate counter-signatures. 

It has been a pleasure working with you on this project, I have appreciated the assistance that you have 

provided. Your superior understanding of the authorization process and willingness to work closely with 

me has made this task much more manageable. 

I look forward to hearing from you when you receive this package (please give me a call) and I will 

gladly provide you with any additional information or assistance necessary to complete Idaho's 

authorization for Clusters I, II, and III.

Dear Mr. Clarke: 

On April 9, 1990 Idaho was granted final base authorization for 

those non-HSWA (Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments) and HSWA 

requirements promulgated as of July 1, .1987 of the Resource 

Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) program. Final Corrective 

Action authority was granted on June 5, 1992. On August 10, 1992, 

Idaho successfully submitted a revised authorization package for 

HSWA and non-HSWA requirements promulgated as of JUly 1, 1990. 

By this letter, pursuant to section 3006 of RCRA, we request final 

authorization for those non-HSWA and HSWA requirements promulgated 

as of July 1, 1993. 

Sincerely,
