UNAUTHORIZED TREATMENT, STORAGE, RELEASE, USE OR DISPOSAL OF
HAZARDOUS WASTE PROHIBITED. (1) No person shall treat or store hazardous
waste, nor shall any person discharge, incinerate, release, spill, place, or
dispose any hazardous waste in such a manner that the waste, or any
constituent thereof, may enter the environment, unless the department has
issued said person a permit or a variance as required for the specific
activity involved or exempted the activity from permit requirements.
(2) Effective six (6) months after the effective date of this provision,
nonhazardous liquids shall not be disposed of in a landfill for which a permit
is required under section 39-4409, Idaho Code, or which is operating pursuant
to interim status granted under section 3005(c) of RCRA, unless the owner or
operator of the landfill demonstrates to the director that:
(a) The only reasonable alternative is placement in a landfill or unlined
surface impoundment which contains or may contain hazardous waste; and
(b) Placement in the owner or operator's landfill will not present a risk
of contamination of any existing or potential underground source of
drinking water.
(3) Waste or used oil or other material which is contaminated or mixed
with any hazardous waste, other than wastes identified solely on the basis of
ignitibility, shall not be used for dust suppression or road treatment.
(4) The board shall have authority to prohibit:
(a) Land disposal of any hazardous waste; and
(b) Storage of any hazardous waste prohibited from land disposal, unless
such storage is solely for the purpose of the accumulation of such
quantities of hazardous waste as are necessary to facilitate proper
recovery, treatment or disposal.
