Senate Bill 1082 (Calderon 1993) required that the Cal/EPA:

  • Grant to either DTSC or SWRCB and RWQCBs sole authority to implement and enforce the requirements of Article 6 (commending with Section 66264.90) of Chapter 14 of, and Article 6 (commencing with Section 66264.90) of Chapter 15 of, Division 4.5 of Title 22 of the California Code of Regulations and of Article 5 (commending with Section 2530) of Chapter 15 of Division 3 of Title 23 of the California Code of Regulations.
  • Develop a process for ensuring, at each facility which conducts off-site hazardous waste treatment, storage, or disposal activities, or which conducts on-site treatment, storage, or disposal activities which are required to receive a permit under the federal act, and which is required to clean up or abate the effects of a release of hazardous substance pursuant to Section 13304 of the Water Code, or which is required to take corrective action for a release of hazardous waste or constituents pursuant to Section 25200.10, or both, that sole jurisdiction over the supervision of that action [meaning oversight of those corrective action activities] is vested in either DTSC or SWRCB and RWQCBs.
  • Develop a unified hazardous waste facility permit, issued by the department, which incorporates all conditions, limitations, and requirements imposed by SWRCB or the RWQCBs to protect water quality, and incorporate all conditions, limitations, and requirements imposed by the department pursuant to this chapter.
  • Develop a consolidated enforcement and inspection program designed to ensure effective, efficient, and coordinated enforcement of the laws implemented by DTSC or SWRCB and RWQCBs, as those laws relate to facilities conducting off-site hazardous waste treatment, storage, or disposal activities, and to facilities conducting on-site treatment, storage, and disposal activities which are required to receive a permit under the federal act.
