NECESSITY, FUNCTION, AND CONFORMITY: KRS 224.10-100(19) and (24) and 224.10-105 require the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Cabinet to promulgate administrative regulations concerning waste management. KRS 224.40-305 and 224.40-100 require the cabinet to promulgate administrative regulations establishing requirements for obtaining a permit to use a waste site or facility and response actions to close and reclaim or upgrade open dumps. KRS 224.43-340 requires the cabinet to promulgate administrative regulations establishing requirements for the reduction and management of solid waste. This administrative regulation establishes the minimum environmental standards with which all solid waste sites or facilities shall comply.
