NOE - Notice of Exemption

Document Description
The issuance of WDRs prior to cleanup of disaster-related wastes requires time that may significantly impede cleanup, which would likely increase the threat to public health and the environment. Under emergency or disaster conditions, there is usually not time for those performing cleanup of disaster-related wastes to prepare a formal ROWD, and for the Regional Board to prescribe new WDRs or to revise existing WDRs. A statewide approach rather than a region-by-region basis alleviates this issue.
