Underground Storage Tanks – Technical Rules – 10 CSR 26-2
In 2011, the department updated the technical rules in 10 CSR 26 Chapter 2, including incorporating by reference the 2004 as modified in 2005 Tanks risk-based corrective action, or RBCA, guidance document. The incorporation by reference was made in three rules: 10 CSR 26-2.062, 10 CSR 26-2.078, and 10 CSR 26-2.082. However, each reference stated that tank owners and operators may use the 2004/2005 RBCA guidance as a written procedure only until Dec. 31, 2012. With this rulemaking, the department proposes to remove the December deadline date. In addition, via this rulemaking the department proposes to incorporate by reference an updated Tanks RBCA guidance completed in 2013. The department undertook the update of the guidance to clarify certain requirements and provisions, to streamline the guidance by removing unnecessary text and to facilitate publication of Tier 1 risk-based target levels, or RBTLs, updated based on new toxicity data and calculation methodology.

Incorporation by Reference of Federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, or RCRA, Regulations
As of last year our hazardous waste regulations in Title 10, Division 25 of the Code of State Regulations incorporate by reference the July 1, 2010 Code of Federal Regulations. However, between July 1, 2010 and July 1, 2012, EPA adopted four additional rules that are important for the state to adopt. The department has proposed to update the rules in Title 10, Division 25 to update the incorporation by reference to the 2012 Code of Federal Regulations. The individual rules that are included in the group to be adopted are listed below:
- Removal of Saccharin and its Salts from the Lists of Hazardous Wastes.
- Corrections to the Academic Laboratories Generator Standards.
- Revision of the Treatment Standards for Carbamate Wastes.
- Hazardous Waste Technical Corrections and Clarifications.
