Statement of Basis and Purpose Part 99 - Notification PURPOSE The fundamental purpose of the Part 99 regulations which are promulgated pursuant to C.R.S 25-15-301 is to require hazardous waste generators, transporters, and treatment, storage, and disposal facilities to notify the Department that they are handling hazardous wastes. Additionally, regulations concerning the notification of hazardous waste activity are a necessary and required component in conducting a hazardous waste management program; the State intends to obtain EPA authorization for a hazardous waste management program pursuant to C.R.S. 1973, 25-15-102. Such full state authorization to conduct the hazardous waste regulatory program can be granted only upon the determination that the State program is equivalent to that of the EPA. BASIS Generators, transporters, and treatment, storage, and disposal facilities managing hazardous wastes are required to file a notification of hazardous waste activity in order that the Department can track hazardous wastes from their point of generation to their point of disposal, and to identify those persons who are subject to the State hazardous waste regulatory program. ___________________________________________________ Editor’s Notes 6 CCR 1007-3 has been divided into smaller sections for ease of use.
