25218.11
. (a) On or before March 31, 1996, the department shall
develop a separate and distinct regulatory structure for the
permitting of permanent household hazardous waste facilities that
conduct the activities specified in subdivision (b). The regulations
shall simplify the permitting of facilities and encourage the
collection of material and shall be not more burdensome than is
necessary to protect the public health and safety. The regulations
adopted to implement this section shall balance public safety
considerations of household hazardous waste collection with the
safety and environmental considerations of illegal disposal.
(b) The regulations adopted pursuant to subdivision (a) shall
apply only to household hazardous waste collection activities that
are operated by a public agency, or its contractor, and that accept
only household hazardous waste or hazardous waste collected from
conditionally exempt small quantity generators. The regulations shall
require that, prior to the commencement of the activities specified
in this subdivision, the activities shall be authorized by the
department.
