The term "Board" is used in this Chapter in reference to the Board or a Board action, generally related to the Board's issuance of a full hazardous waste facility license (rather than an abbreviated license which is issued by the Commissioner under 06-096 C.M.R. ch. 856, § 11(A)) . The term "Department" is generally used in this Chapter in reference to the Commissioner (or the Commissioner's designee) and to the administration, oversight or monitoring of compliance with the standards of this Chapter and the terms and conditions of licenses issued by the Board.
