| 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).
