The Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) will hold Public Workshops to evaluate Hazardous Waste Administrative Penalties Regulations.
DTSC recently announced that it will hold two public workshops for the purpose of evaluating existing penalties regulations for violations of California’s Hazardous Waste Control Law and discussing potential revisions to the regulations. Members of the public and other interested parties are invited to comment on whether the regulations should be reexamined and potentially revised. Currently, the maximum initial penalty that is allowed under the regulations is $70,000.00 per violation. The existing regulations can be found here.
The first workshop will be held at 9:00 a.m. on August 7, 2019 at the DTSC Chatsworth Regional Office in Chatsworth, CA. To register for this workshop, click here.
A second workshop will be conducted in Berkeley, CA in September 2019. DTSC has not released further details regarding the second workshop at this time.
