preemption.
A. In addition to other powers and duties specified by law, the
Board shall promulgate rules to:
1. Prohibit the placement of any liquid which is not a
hazardous waste in a landfill for which a permit is required or
which is operating under interim status;
2. Prohibit or restrict the storage of hazardous waste for
which land disposal is prohibited, except to the extent that such
storage is solely for the purpose of accumulation of such quantities
of hazardous wastes as are necessary to facilitate proper recovery,
treatment, or disposal;
3. Prohibit or restrict the use of waste or used oil or other
material used for dust suppression or road treatment, which is
contaminated or mixed with dioxin or any other waste identified or
listed by rules of the Board as a hazardous waste except a waste
identified solely on the basis of ignitability;
4. Require such monitoring and control of air emissions at
hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facilities,
including but not limited to open tanks, surface impoundments, and
landfills, as may be necessary to protect human health and the
environment;
5. Regulate the production, burning, distribution, and
marketing of fuel containing hazardous waste, and the commercial
collection, storage, transportation, marketing, management, burning
and disposal of used oil as may be necessary to protect human health

and the environment including, but not limited to, labeling and
recordkeeping requirements;
6. Control the listed or identified hazardous wastes which
discharge through a sewer system to a publicly owned treatment works
for the protection of human health and the environment;
7. Provide in accordance with Sections 3005(c) and 3005(e) of
the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act for the automatic
termination of interim status for hazardous waste units failing to
comply with applicable requirements for the submission of part B
permit applications and certification of groundwater monitoring and
financial responsibility compliance;
8. Require from applicants for and owners and operators of
hazardous waste facilities evidence of financial responsibility for
corrective action as may be required or ordered under the authority
of the Oklahoma Hazardous Waste Management Act;
9. Require that generators of hazardous waste establish and
implement programs to reduce the volume or quantity and toxicity of
such waste to the extent economically practicable; and
10. Specify levels or methods of treatment which substantially
diminish the toxicity of the waste or likelihood of its migration so
as to minimize threats to human health and the environment.
B. The hazardous waste component of mixed waste and radioactive
waste shall be regulated as hazardous waste. The radioactive waste
component shall be regulated as radioactive waste. Both the
hazardous waste requirements and the radioactive waste requirements
shall apply if physical separation of the two components is not
accomplished. If a conflict exists between the two requirements,
the requirement most protective of human health and the environment
shall take precedence.
C. Rules pertaining to standards for the transportation of
hazardous waste and recyclable materials shall not be more stringent
than those of the U.S. Department of Transportation, unless a waiver
of preemption is granted pursuant to federal statutes and rules
promulgated thereunder.
