This Chapter is promulgated under 38 M.R.S. sections 1301 through 1319- Y, which prohibits the establishment, construction, alteration or operation of a waste facility for hazardous waste without a license and authorizes the Board of Environmental Protection (Board) to adopt rules establishing standards for the licensing of these facilities.

NOTE: Purusant to 38 M.R.S. §341- A, Sections (2) and (4), the term "Department" is defined to include the Board of Environmental Protection and the Commissioner of the Department of Environmental Protection (Commissioner). The term "Board" is used in this Chapter in reference to the Board or a Board action, generally related to the Board's issuance of a full hazardous waste facility license (rather than an abbreviated license which is issued by the Commissioner under 06-096 C.M.R. ch. 856, § 11(A)) . The term "Department" is generally used in this Chapter in reference to the Commissioner (or the Commissioner's designee) and to the administration, oversight or monitoring of compliance with the standards of this Chapter and the terms and conditions of licenses issued by the Board.
