Changes are proposed in hazardous waste rules R315-16, making the change from "Thermostats" to "Mercury-containing equipment".
Section 3006 of the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) provides for delegation of the hazardous waste program to states to administer in lieu of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). In order to receive authorization from EPA for the hazardous waste program, states must have and demonstrate equivalent legal authorities and regulations to those of the federal government for the management of hazardous waste. Changes to the federal hazardous waste laws and regulations require states to update and amend their laws and rules in order to maintain program equivalency for state primacy.
