The proposed rule amendments incorporate by reference the changes made by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) between July 1, 2007 and June 30, 2008 to the federal hazardous waste regulations. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) is authorized by EPA to administer the state hazardous waste program in lieu of the federal program. As a result of that authorization, every year FDEP must adopt changes that make state rules equivalent to and consistent with the existing federal regulations. The amendments in this notice serve that purpose.
