(a)
General
(1) Unless specifically
			 excluded by the state hazardous waste management regulations, when a provision
			 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) is incorporated by reference, or cited
			 in the state hazardous waste management regulations, all notes, comments,
			 appendices, diagrams, tables, and figures referred to or cited in such
			 provision are also incorporated by reference. In addition, when a provision of
			 the CFR is incorporated by reference or cited in the state hazardous waste
			 management regulations, such reference shall be deemed to include all
			 modifications made to any such provision by the state hazardous waste
			 management regulations.
(2) When a
			 provision of the CFR is incorporated by reference, unless otherwise noted all
			 internal references contained therein are also incorporated by reference for
			 the purposes of that provision. Each internal reference to the CFR is intended
			 to include any modifications to such internal reference made by the state
			 hazardous waste management regulations.
(3) Provisions of the CFR which are
			 specifically excluded from incorporation by reference in the state hazardous
			 waste management regulations are excluded in their entirety unless otherwise
			 specified, notwithstanding any apparent limitations in the scope of the
			 explanatory language enclosed in parentheses following the citation of the
			 excluded provision. Such explanatory language is included solely for the
			 convenience of the reader.
(4) In
			 the event that there are inconsistencies or duplications in the requirements of
			 the provisions incorporated by reference from 40 CFR 260 et seq. and the
			 regulations set forth in the state hazardous waste management regulations, the
			 provisions incorporated by reference from 40 CFR 260 et seq. shall prevail,
			 except where the regulations set forth in the state hazardous waste management
			 regulations are more stringent.
(5)
			 Whenever the state hazardous waste management regulations refer to a period of
			 retention which may be specified by the commissioner, the commissioner will not
			 specify any period of retention less than three years. The retention period for
			 all records required under the state hazardous waste management regulations
			 shall be extended automatically during the course of any unresolved enforcement
			 action or as requested by the commissioner in writing.
(6) Nothing in the state hazardous waste
			 management regulations shall affect the commissioner's authority to enforce
			 statutes, regulations, permits or orders administered or issued by the
			 commissioner, including but not limited to the commissioner's authority to
			 issue an order to prevent or abate pollution and potential sources of
			 pollution.
(7) Whenever any
			 provision in the state hazardous waste management regulations, including any
			 provision of the CFR which is incorporated by reference, makes reference to the
			 term "Act", "RCRA", "Resources Conservation and Recovery Act", "Subtitle C of
			 RCRA", "Subtitle C" or a specific section of any of the foregoing, the phrase
			 "or any applicable or comparable provision of the Connecticut General Statutes
			 and implementing regulations" shall be added so that the reference to the
			 federal provision shall be deemed to include such federal provision as well as
			 the applicable or comparable provision of the Connecticut General Statutes and
			 any implementing regulations.
