14        (g)  Requirements to prohibit  the  disposal  of  certain
15    hazardous   wastes   in   sanitary   landfills  where,  after
16    regulatory proceedings held in conformance with Title VII  of
17    this  Act,  it  is determined by the Board that the long term
18    impacts to public health and the environment  are  such  that
19    land  burial  should not be allowed and where an economically
20    reasonable, technically feasible  and  environmentally  sound
21    alternative  is available for processing, recycling, fixation
22    or  neutralization  of  such   wastes.   The   agency   shall
23    participate  in all such proceedings. No such prohibition may
24    become effective unless  a  specific  alternative  technology
25    meeting  the criteria of this subsection is identified by the
26    Board. Nothing in this subsection  shall  prohibit  the  land
27    burial  of any hazardous waste which is the subject of review
28    under this subsection until such time as a final  prohibition
29    order is issued by the Board.
