incinerators, or other sites or facilities for the land disposal of hazardous

waste who request a permit modification which does not meet the criteria of a

Class 1 or 2 modification as established in 401 KAR 38:040, Section 3.

      (b) For permit modifications which are

not Class 1 or 2 modifications, approval of the local government or board shall

only concern those conditions to be included in the permit modification, in

accordance with 401 KAR 38:050, Section 2(3).

      (3) This administrative regulation shall

apply to owners and operators of new and existing hazardous waste treatment

facilities and hazardous waste storage facilities who request a permit

permitted hazardous waste activity already conducted by the owner or operator.

is not subject to KRS 224.40-310(6) in accordance with KRS 224.40-310(7).
