Information and reports.

A. In accordance with standards established by the

Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency pursuant to the

federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the Department may

require corrective action beyond a hazardous waste facility boundary

as a condition of the issuance of a permit pursuant to the Oklahoma

Hazardous Waste Management Act, where necessary to protect human

health and the environment, unless the owner or operator of the

facility demonstrates that despite the owner's or operator's best

efforts such owner or operator is unable to obtain the necessary

permission to undertake such action. The Department may also

require, as a condition of a permit issued pursuant to the Oklahoma

Hazardous Waste Management Act, corrective action for all releases

of hazardous waste from any solid waste management unit at a

facility seeking a permit, regardless of the time the waste was

placed in such unit. If such corrective action cannot be completed

prior to issuance of the permit, such permit shall contain schedules

of compliance for the corrective action required and assurances of

financial responsibility for completing such corrective action.

B. The Department shall review each permit for a hazardous

waste land disposal facility five (5) years after the date of such

issuance or reissuance and shall modify the permit as necessary to

assure that the facility continues to comply with the currently

applicable standards and permit requirements for hazardous waste

facilities. Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the

Department from reviewing and modifying a permit at any time during

its term. The Department, in reviewing any application for a permit

renewal, shall consider improvements in the state of control and

measurement technology and changes in applicable regulations. Each

issued or reissued permit shall contain such terms and conditions as

the Department determines necessary to protect human health and the

environment.

C. The Department is authorized to require each owner or

operator applying for a permit for a hazardous waste landfill or

surface impoundment to submit with the permit application

information reasonably ascertainable by the owner or operator

concerning the potential exposure to the public of hazardous wastes

as a result of releases from a hazardous waste unit. The Department

shall be authorized to make exposure and health assessment

information available to the public and to other state and federal

agencies.
