| 10 | regulations may among other things
prescribe the following: | ||||||
| 11 | (a) Standards for the location, design, construction, | ||||||
| 12 | sanitation,

hazardous waste;
| ||||||
| 23 | (d) Requirements and standards for equipment and | ||||||
| 24 | procedures for

| ||||||
| 9 | (g) Requirements to prohibit the disposal of certain | ||||||
| 10 | hazardous
wastes in sanitary landfills where, after regulatory | ||||||
| 11 | proceedings held in
conformance with Title VII of this Act, it | ||||||
| 12 | is determined by the Board that
the long term impacts to public | ||||||
| 13 | health and the environment are such that
land burial should not | ||||||
| 14 | be allowed and where an economically reasonable,
technically | ||||||
| 15 | feasible and environmentally sound alternative is available | ||||||
| 16 | for
processing, recycling, fixation or neutralization of such | ||||||
| 17 | wastes. The
agency shall participate in all such proceedings. | ||||||
| 18 | No such prohibition may
become effective unless a specific | ||||||
| 19 | alternative technology meeting the
criteria of this subsection | ||||||
| 20 | is identified by the Board. Nothing in this
subsection shall | ||||||
| 21 | prohibit the land burial of any hazardous waste which is
the | ||||||
| 22 | subject of review under this subsection until such time as a | ||||||
| 23 | final
prohibition order is issued by the Board.
