This rule contains the definitions for consistent terms used throughout Chapters 3745-500 to 3745-599 of the Administrative Code.

8.  If the rule incorporates a text or other material by reference and the agency claims the incorporation by reference is exempt from compliance with sections

121.71 to 121.74 of the Revised Code because the text or other material is generally available to persons who reasonably can be expected to be affected by the rule, provide an explanation of how the text or other material is generally available to those persons:

This rule contains references to the Ohio Administrative Code (OAC). While copies of these rules are generally available to the public through libraries and

on-line sources, including the Ohio EPA website, ORC section 121.76 (A) exempts such references from the provisions of ORC sections 121.71 through 121.74.

9.  If the rule incorporates a text or other material by reference, and it was infeasible for the agency to file the text or other material electronically, provide an explanation of why filing the text or other material electronically was infeasible:

IN LIEU OF THE ACTUAL DOCUMENTATION.)

Internally we reviewed existing rules to determine which rules and what aspects needed updating, modifying, or eliminated. We considered other regulatory and non-regulatory approaches when developing this rule and also considered enforceability and criteria from the internal procedures document titled, "The Division of Solid and Infectious Waste Management's Rule Writing Manual." We released the rule for an interested party comment period, and solicited comments from both the public and industry. We then considered comments and evaluated rules and costs that were outlined in the feedback we received.

(C)  Is the proposed rule or rule amendment being adopted or amended to enable the state to obtain or maintain approval to administer and enforce a federal environmental law or to participate in a federal environmental program ? No

Is the proposed rule or rule amendment more stringent than its federal counterpart ? Not Applicable

(D)  If this is a rule amendment that is being adopted under a state statute that establishes standards with which the amendment is to comply, is the proposed rule amendment more stringent than the rule that it is proposing to amend? No
