2021 Missouri Revised Statutes|Title XVI - Conservation, Resources and Development|Chapter 260 - Environmental Control|Section 260.393 - Technology for treatment of hazardous waste, generators to use best available, exceptions.

Effective - 28 Aug 1988   260.393. Technology for treatment of hazardous waste, generators to use best available, exceptions. — 1. This section shall not apply to the storage or treatment of hazardous waste by a generator on-site or to the transportation of hazardous waste out of state for treatment, storage or disposal.  2. Generators shall use, to the maximum extent feasible, the best demonstrated available technology for source reduction, recycling, treatment, stabilization, solidification or destruction, including, but not limited to, biodegradation, detoxification, incineration and neutralization before placing waste in a hazardous waste disposal facility. Such hazardous waste may be placed in a hazardous waste disposal facility only after the generator evaluates appropriate technologies and employs those capable of reducing, recycling, treating, stabilizing, solidifying or destroying the waste. In assessing the best demonstrated available technology proposed by a generator, the department shall give consideration to the relative economic feasibility of the technology, including potential future costs of cleanup and environmental damage. Such technology shall render the hazardous waste sufficiently low in toxicity, reactivity and corrosivity as to present the least possible risk to human health and safety and to the environment in the event of a release from a hazardous waste disposal facility before placing hazardous waste in a disposal facility. ­­-------- (L. 1988 S.B. 535)

Effective - 28 Aug 1992   260.394. Disposal of untreated hazardous waste, prohibited, exceptions — alternative to landfilling, best demonstrated available technology. — 1. Nothing in this section shall apply to the storage or treatment of hazardous waste by a generator on-site or to the disposal on-site of smelter slag waste from the processing of materials into reclaimed metals if the smelter was in operation prior to August 13, 1988, nor preclude the transportation of hazardous waste out of state for treatment, storage or disposal. After August 13, 1988, no person shall dispose of untreated hazardous waste in a hazardous waste disposal facility permitted in the state of Missouri.  2. Before using a hazardous waste disposal facility permitted under sections 260.350 to 260.432, generators of hazardous waste must prove that they have investigated and reviewed alternatives to landfilling to an extent acceptable to the hazardous waste management commission. The generator shall use, to the maximum extent feasible, the best demonstrated available technology for source reduction, recycling, treatment, stabilization, solidification or destruction, including, but not limited to, biodegradation, detoxification, incineration and neutralization, as determined by the commission. In determining the best demonstrated available technology, the commission shall give consideration to the relative economic feasibility of the technology, including potential future costs of cleanup and environmental damage. Such technology shall render the hazardous waste sufficiently low in toxicity, reactivity and corrosivity as to present the least possible risk to human health and safety and to the environment in the event of a release from a hazardous waste disposal facility.  3. The commission shall determine that the best demonstrated available technology is used at hazardous waste disposal facilities in the state of Missouri in accordance with the provisions of sections 260.350 to 260.432, and the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (P.L. 94-580), as amended.  4. Any hazardous waste diluted below the listed concentration threshold shall remain a listed hazardous waste unless the dilution occurs as a normal part of the manufacturing process.  5. The provisions of this section shall not apply to abandoned or uncontrolled sites as listed under section 260.440, or sites listed in the national priority list pursuant to the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (P.L. 96-510), as amended, unless otherwise determined by the department or required by the commission by rule. ­­-------- (L. 1988 S.B. 485 § 260.393, A.L. 1992 S.B. 480)

For the purposes of this section, a commercial hazardous waste facility is a facility designed to treat hazardous waste by incineration for a fee regardless of where such waste is generated. Any commercial hazardous waste facility which treats waste by incineration shall be located so as to provide a health and safety buffer zone. The size and nature of the buffer zone shall be determined by the department but shall extend at least three hundred feet from the facility, on property owned or leased by the applicant. The department shall consider the proximity of schools, businesses and houses, the prevailing winds and other factors which it deems relevant when establishing a buffer zone.  2.

The department shall at least once a year conduct an unannounced inspection of each commercial hazardous waste and solid waste incinerator to ensure such incinerators are operated in compliance with this chapter.  3. Any hazardous waste treatment facility which is sited as a result of a court settlement or an out-of-court agreement which is designed to treat hazardous waste at a single site or group of sites shall not be granted a permit for greater than a five-year period at any one specific location and no renewal permit shall be issued for a treatment facility located at a site permitted originally for such a hazardous waste treatment facility.
