§ 27-0109. State assistance for local solid waste management plans.   1.  As  a  complement  to,  and  in  conjunction  with  the  technical assistance  provided  pursuant  to  this  chapter,  and  to  foster  and facilitate   local  planning,  a  planning  unit  may  apply  for  state assistance for developing  solid  waste  management  plans  pursuant  to section  27-0107 of this article or to update or revise an existing plan to address the elements contained in paragraph (c) of subdivision one of such section.   2. The commissioner is authorized to contract to make a  state  grant, within  the limit of appropriation therefor, to any planning unit for up to ninety percent of the costs to prepare, update or  revise  its  local solid  waste  management plan; provided, however, that no such grant has been previously made to a planning unit which is a part of or is  served by  the  planning unit seeking such grant. A planning unit may receive a grant pursuant to this subdivision which shall not exceed the greater of twenty-five thousand dollars or one dollar  for  each  resident  of  the planning unit, based upon the current federal decennial census.   3.  Applications  for such assistance shall outline the proposed scope and timetable for preparation of the plan pursuant to section 27-0107 of this article. In addition, the planning unit must demonstrate its intent that the purpose of undertaking the plan is to develop a viable solution to its solid waste management needs which cannot be achieved based on an existing plan.   4. Payments authorized under this section for the preparation,  update or revision of a plan shall be made as follows:  (a)  not  more  than fifty percent of the total grant upon approval by the department of the grant request; and  (b) the balance of the total grant in not  more  than  three  periodic payments for unreimbursed costs, as provided in the contract.   5.

§ 27-0712. Coverage of all vehicles, including barges transporting solidwaste.1.  Legislative findings and intent. It is the purpose of this section   to assure that solid waste management is conducted in a safe,  sanitary,   efficient  and  environmentally  sound  manner throughout the state. The   legislature finds and declares that current law and regulations have not   always achieved this purpose. A  large  percentage  of  solid  waste  is   transferred  and  transported  over water as well as by container truck.   Some type of cover is necessary to protect against the spillage of waste   and emission of  odors  during  its  transfer  and  transportation.  The   legislature  further finds and declares that legislation is necessary to   remedy this situation by requiring the responsible parties to cover such   vehicles with devices which will accomplish the intent of this section.2. A municipality or any individual, firm or corporation acting on its   behalf or any other individual, firm or corporation shall not  cause  or   permit any solid waste to be transported on any vehicle, barge, ship, or   scow  unless  the  solid  waste  on the vehicle, barge, ship, or scow is   covered.3. The department shall monitor and  inspect  such  vehicles,  barges,   ships  and  scows  transporting solid waste on a regular basis to insure   that they are covered and in compliance  with  the  provisions  of  this   section.

§ 27-0903. Identification and listing of hazardous waste.1.   The   commissioner  shall  promulgate  regulations  in  a  manner   consistent with the state administrative procedure  act,  setting  forth   the  criteria  for identification and listing of hazardous wastes. Based   on these criteria, the commissioner shall promulgate a list of hazardous   wastes (which list shall also  include  a  sublist  of  acute  hazardous   wastes)  and  shall  identify  hazardous  waste  by characteristic, in a   manner at  least  as  stringent  as  promulgated  by  the  administrator   pursuant to RCRA. The list of hazardous wastes and the identification of   hazardous waste by characteristic shall determine those hazardous wastes   which shall be subject to this title.2.  Where appropriate and consistent with the provisions of RCRA, such   regulations shall provide for exemptions from  the  provisions  of  this   title  for  the  management  of  small  quantities  of  wastes listed or   identified as hazardous when  generated  by  research  and  limited  use   operations.3.  The  regulations setting forth the criteria for identification and   listing, and the list of, hazardous wastes subject to this title may  be   amended by the commissioner from time to time as appropriate, based upon   hazardous  waste  conditions  of  particular relevance to the state. The   commissioner may promulgate the appropriately amended  regulations  only   upon  a  showing  of  the circumstances constituting the hazardous waste   conditions of particular relevance to this state, and then in  a  manner   consistent with the state administrative procedure act.4.   Uniform   treatment  of  waste.  All  waste  resulting  from  the   exploration, development, extraction  or  production  of  crude  oil  or   natural  gas,  including but not limited to drilling fluids and produced   waters, shall be considered hazardous waste under the law of this  state   and  subject  to  all  pertinent  generation, transportation, treatment,   storage, and disposal laws and regulations,  if  such  waste  meets  the   definition  of hazardous waste set forth in subdivision three of section   27-0901 of this chapter. Within six months from the  effective  date  of   this  subdivision,  the  department  shall make all necessary changes to   bring its regulations into compliance with this section.

§ 27-0905. Manifest system.Not  later  than  six months after the promulgation of regulations for   hazardous wastes pursuant to paragraph one of section  27-0903  of  this   title,  and after consultation and coordination with the commissioner of   transportation, the commissioner shall promulgate in a manner consistent   with the state administrative procedure act, regulations establishing  a   manifest  system  by  which  to monitor the transportation, storage, and   disposal of hazardous waste and to assure that such acts  are  performed   in  a  manner  consistent  with  this title. Such manifest systems shall   conform to that adopted by the administrator  pursuant  to  RCRA.  Where   appropriate and consistent with the provisions of RCRA, the commissioner   may  provide  for  exemption from the provisions of this section for the   transport of hazardous waste by  the  generator  from  one  facility  to   another  owned  and  operated by the generator. As a minimum such system   shall require that:1. Hazardous waste generators use a  specified  form  identifying  the   composition,  quantity  and  disposition  of  each shipment of hazardous   waste;2. Copies of manifest be carried during  transportation  of  hazardous   waste; and3. Hazardous waste generators, hazardous waste transporters and owners   and  operators  of  hazardous  waste  treatment,  storage  and  disposal   facilities maintain copies of manifest for at least three years.
