25 [(1)] On and after July 1, [1992, any] 2017, waste entering Utah for disposal or
26 treatment, excluding incineration, that is classified by Utah as nonhazardous solid waste [and
27 by the state of origin as hazardous waste, and that exceeds the base volume provided in
28 Subsection (2) for each receiving facility or site, shall be treated according to the same
29 treatment standards to which it would have been subject had it remained in the state where it
30 originated. However, if those standards are less protective of human health or the environment
31 than the treatment standards applicable under Utah law, the waste shall be treated in
32 compliance with the Utah standards] shall be treated or disposed as nonhazardous solid waste
33 regardless of how it is classified by the state of origin.
34 [(2) The base volume provided in Subsection (1) for each receiving facility or site is
35 the average of the annual quantities of nonhazardous solid waste that originated outside Utah
36 and were received by the facility or site in calendar years 1990 and 1991.]
37 [(3) (a) The base volume for each receiving facility or site that has an operating plan
38 approved prior to July 1, 1992, but did not receive nonhazardous solid waste originating
39 outside Utah during calendar years 1990 and 1991, shall be the average of annual quantities of
40 out-of-state nonhazardous waste the facility or site received during the 24 months following the
41 date of initial receipt of nonhazardous waste originating outside Utah.]
42 [(b) The base determined under Subsection (3)(a) applies to the facility or site on and
43 after July 1, 1995, regardless of the amount of nonhazardous waste originating outside Utah
44 received by the facility or site prior to this date.]
