| New Jersey’s hazardous
waste regulations are found at N.J.A.C.
7:26G-1 et seq., adopted October 21, 1996
and announced at 28 NJR 4606. By this adoption,
the Department “incorporated by reference”
(with limited exception) the July 1, 1993
version of the Federal hazardous waste regulations
at 40 CFR Parts 124, 260-266, 268 and 270,
mandated by the Resource and Recovery Act
of 1976 (RCRA) and amended by the 1984 Hazardous
and Solid Waste Amendments (HSWA). Effective
January 19, 1999 the Department amended
the regulations to allow for prospective
incorporation by reference, which means
that all provisions of 40 CFR Parts 124,
260-266, 268 and 270 incorporated by reference
are continually automatically updated in
order to maintain consistency with the most
current Federal rules.
The requirements for hazardous waste
generators are specifically found at N.J.A.C.
7:26G-6 et seq., which references 40 CFR
Part 262 of the Federal regulations (with
some exceptions and/or changes).
