The state Department of Environmental Conservation has announced a public comment period on more than 100 changes to state law regarding hazardous waste.

“DEC is proposing to revise the 6 NYCRR Parts 370, 371, 372, 373, 374, and 376 regulations to incorporate thirty-eight (38) federal rules and approximately eighty (80) state-initiated changes,” the DEC website says. “This consolidated rulemaking will adopt changes to the hazardous waste regulations from 1999 to 2015, with certain conforming changes through November 28, 2016.”

Public comments on the changes — which can be found at www.dec.ny.gov/regulations/100424.html — will be accepted until Aug. 26. There will also be a public information session and hearing in Albany on the rule changes on Aug. 19. The availability session will be from 10 to 11:30 a.m. with the hearing at the same location at 1 p.m. that day. Both sessions will be held at DEC headquarters, at 625 Broadway, Public Assembly Room 129A/B, Albany.
