Official statutory text
Information and reports.
A. In accordance with standards established by the
Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency pursuant to the
federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the Department may
require corrective action beyond a hazardous waste facility boundary
as a condition of the issuance of a permit pursuant to the Oklahoma
Hazardous Waste Management Act, where necessary to protect human
health and the environment, unless the owner or operator of the
facility demonstrates that despite the owner's or operator's best
efforts such owner or operator is unable to obtain the necessary
permission to undertake such action. The Department may also
require, as a condition of a permit issued pursuant to the Oklahoma
Hazardous Waste Management Act, corrective action for all releases
of hazardous waste from any solid waste management unit at a
facility seeking a permit, regardless of the time the waste was
placed in such unit. If such corrective action cannot be completed
prior to issuance of the permit, such permit shall contain schedules
of compliance for the corrective action required and assurances of
financial responsibility for completing such corrective action.
B. The Department shall review each permit for a hazardous
waste land disposal facility five (5) years after the date of such
issuance or reissuance and shall modify the permit as necessary to
assure that the facility continues to comply with the currently
applicable standards and permit requirements for hazardous waste
facilities. Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
Department from reviewing and modifying a permit at any time during
its term. The Department, in reviewing any application for a permit
renewal, shall consider improvements in the state of control and
measurement technology and changes in applicable regulations. Each
issued or reissued permit shall contain such terms and conditions as
the Department determines necessary to protect human health and the
environment.
C. The Department is authorized to require each owner or
operator applying for a permit for a hazardous waste landfill or
surface impoundment to submit with the permit application
information reasonably ascertainable by the owner or operator
concerning the potential exposure to the public of hazardous wastes
as a result of releases from a hazardous waste unit. The Department
